Would highly recommend

Ed was my attorney for a case that was very important to me and my family. He was kind, understanding, knowledgeable, tenacious and dedicated throughout. He explained my case and possible outcomes well and fought hard to deliver a great result. I would highly recommend Ed to anyone in need of an expe...rienced and dedicated employment law attorney.

EXCELLENT LAWYER

Mr Edgar Rivera handled my extremely complicated case expertly and with confidence. His attention to detail is what I feel made the difference! Nothing was overlooked. I can say he was very attentive when I met with him, and he showed genuine concern for my case. He asked many questions and took lot...s of notes. I wholeheartedly recommend this fine young lawyer. He is a winner!

Very thorough, even in a time crunch

Ed was very thorough and professional. My previous employer was contesting unemployment insurance benefits that I had claimed due to "misconduct." I wasn't given much time to prepare, and almost every labor lawyer that I contacted was either too busy, or chose not to represent me. I was beginning to ...lose hope that I would be able to find representation before my hearing, but just with one day to prepare, Ed said he could represent me. I was impressed at how much information he was able to glean, and how much he was able to give me peace of mind with just that one day. Before the hearing, he gave me a complete rundown of what to expect, and we rehearsed what we were going to say. In the hearing, our case was so much more prepared than the employer's, and I left feeling very relieved. We received a ruling within just a couple days that we had won. I would highly recommend Ed to anyone that needs a labor lawyer.
