Employment and Labor 50%

We consult with, advise and represent employees and executives in all facets of their employment. Offer letter / contract negotiations, on-the-job counseling, severance negotiations, non-compete and IP issues, whistleblower retaliation & litigation.

37 years | 5,000 cases

50%
Arbitration 20%

FINRA, JAMS and AAA arbitrations are more common now that most employers require employees to consent to adjudicate employment disputes in confidential arbitration forums. We regularly handle client disputes and look forward to handling litigations.

37 years | 200 cases

20%
Litigation 15%

We negotiate / mediate client matters, and when a fair result cannot be obtained, we litigate cases involving non-competes, trade secrets, bonus and deferred compensation, discrimination and wrongful termination in all courts and arbitration forums.

37 years | 400 cases

15%
Discrimination 10%

We handle discrimination cases asserting gender, national origin, race, skin color, age, religion, familial status, disability, retaliation or sexual orientation. You are protected by City, State and Federal Laws. I was a mediator for the EEOC.

37 years | 500 cases

10%
Expungement 5%

We routinely handle the negotiation of U-5s, and we file FINRA Arbitrations to expunge a negative, defamatory, incomplete or false U-5 filing. The U-5 is a minefield, often branding employees as bad actors, impairing one's re-employment prospects.

The Lawyer EVERYONE should have!!!

I had an issue come up and was given Jonathan's number. I gave him a call and he immediately got to work (even though he was out of the office). We setup some time to meet in his office, discussed what was going on, and from that point forward he not only worked his magic, but was able to explain w...hat might happen, what would happen, and what options we should think about before they happened. There was a never a point during my situation where I felt lost or on the road to defeat. Everything that Jonathan told me he would try to recover for me he did. Between Communication, Responsiveness, and helpfulness... this is the lawyer everyone should have on their side!!!!

Outstanding lawyer

Jonathan made me feel like I was being prioritized and that my case was truly important. He fought for me when other lawyers would have done the bare minimum. He got me an outcome that has materially changed my life. I owe a huge debt of gratitude to Jonathan and would highly recommend him to anyone ...looking to right wrongs from big corporations.

Immediately (within 10 minutes) fixed a very serious issue for me!

I was put in touch with Jonathan after my previous firm threatened me with legal action regarding a contract policy. Jonathan immediately jumped on the case and had an email prepared within minutes to address the firm's issues. His email was clear, concise, and got the message across. He believed the... firm had no legal leg to stand on. My former firm called Jonathan within 5 minutes and agreed to drop the threat. By the end of the conversation it was very collegial and peace prevailed. I would recommend Jonathan for ANY employment related issues. He is extremely interactive and resolves issues quickly and quietly. Thank you Jonathan!

"Who you gonna call?"

I have been in finance for over 35 years and this was my first dispute/litigation/arbitration. Jonathan was about as professional as I have seen anyone. He asked the right questions, designed a clear, effective game plan and then executed very well. He becomes emotionally vested in his cases and h...is passion shows it. Technically, I was very impressed with his knowledge on how the law works and how it is pragmatically implemented. I hope I don't need to use Jonathan again, but if I do, he will be my first and only call.

Employment and severance star

I had problems with a big name, Private Equity-backed form in the fminsurance space and Jonathan dug in to understand why had happened. He then predicted the outcome including timing and did everything he said he would do. Worked hard and professionally for me. Result was exactly as predicted up fron...t.

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
