I had a bonus dispute with my financial services employer and reached out to a number of attorneys to assess my options. Nearly every one of them told me the same thing - that Wall Street bonuses are purely discretionary and that I had little to no recourse. They told me that going up against a well-...resourced Wall Street firm would be a highly costly exercise and likely wouldn't be worth it. That was until I spoke with Jonathan Sack. Jonathan was the first attorney who actually took the time to listen to the facts of the situation and he quickly determined that my case had merit. Moreover, he structured his fee such that our interests were in complete alignment. In these kinds of situations, it is important to have an advocate that has credibility with the other side. Had I tried to go it alone, it's unlikely that my employer would have taken my claim seriously. However, Jonathan was able to work constructively with them to negotiate a satisfactory settlement in short order. I highly recommend Jonathan to anyone who may be going through a similar situation.

I was suddenly let go from my job under shady circumstances, and I was so scared of my company that I wanted someone to make sure that it was actually in my best interest to sign their release and accept their severance. I called several attorneys and they all wanted hundreds of dollars to read m...y release, so it was a breath of fresh air when I spoke to Jonathan Sack. His approach was "I will read your release for free. If all I am doing is whispering in your ear, you don't have to pay me anything because making the business relationship is important to me. If I take on your case and get you more money, I want 1/3 of whatever I get you on top of what they have already offered you." After he realized that they also wanted to enforce an unenforceable non-compete, he said "Let me have some fun with this". I walked away with a release agreement that protects me considerably more than the original one did, and my former company ended up paying out double what they had originally offered me in severance. They tried to do several more shady things during the process, and he stood up to them every time. He's also committed to having an ongoing relationship with me should they try to make any other trouble. I can't tell you how much better I feel dealing with my former company with him as back up. In his words "When you stand up to a bully, they always blink." I'm recommending him to everyone that I can.
