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.

Jonathan has been a tremendous help in navigating the legalities of my startup business. His no nonsense approach was instrumental in achieving the necessary contractual framework for my business. Jonathan is extremely efficient and helped achieve these goals while keeping billable hours to a minim...um. I highly recommend him.

I contacted Jonathan the day after (and the day before Xmas eve) I got fired from my job in finance about 6 weeks after I returned from my maternity leave. I was berated when I told my employer I was pregnant. Was asked why I didn't tell them when they had interviewed me. My bosses first response... was shaking his head and cursing at me. I had access to a room to pump in that was also a full bathroom. I was constantly interrupted by people wanting to use the private bathroom rather than the public one and was written up by HR when I scolded the office manager for letting a man take a shower at my scheduled pumping time. That being said I needed someone to tell me I was going the right direction when exploring the idea of bringing a lawsuit against them. Jonathan called me while he was sitting on an airplane taking a trip with his family and assured me to trust him and that I had a case. Him and his team always responded to my emails and spoke to me about my case and eased my worries. I am so glad I trusted his judgement and let him take the lead. I ended up with a lot more money than what they offered to me. It's not easy to get the courage for a pregnancy discrimination case like this and I would chose Jonathan if I had to do it again.

Jonathan extricated me from a burdensome non-compete that my former employer was standing firm to hold me to. I am a single parent with two children in college, this situation was threatening my ability to support my family, not only did Jonathan not charge me a fee, he managed to negotiate a GREATLY... reduced non-compete period. I was very impressed by how my former and present employers, both major global organizations, respected Jonathan, followed his lead, and came to an extremely fair agreement orchestrated by him.
