Look no further than Greg Filosa for all of your employment issues!

Greg Filosa is an excellent and attentive lawyer with an extremely dedicated work ethic. I was dealing with a complicated employment situation involving harassment when a friend told me it was time for me to hire a lawyer and referred me to Greg. From the start, Greg listened diligently to the troubl...esome web that was my situation, and shared with me a plethora of advice, including potential outcomes that would be possible. Once the harassment parlayed its way into retaliation, I hired Greg to navigate me through this process. He was extremely knowledgeable on how to characterize what was taking place in my office in legal terms and translate that into what I was therefore entitled to. Thanks to Greg’s diligence and persistence, I was able to conclude this chapter of my professional life with exactly the outcome I had hoped for. Greg handled every element of the negotiation process with my employer and kept me readily updated, ensuring that he and I remained on the same page. If I ever had any questions or wanted to talk things through, he made it a priority to set aside time to for us to connect, and was able to provide thorough answers to all of my concerns. What would have been a horrendously stressful and taxing experience was instead a breeze thanks to the professionalism and hard work of Greg Filosa.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND

Greg was absolutely fantastic in representing me regarding my employment discrimination matter. His knowledge of the relevant law far surpassed my expectations and his experience in negotiations got me a settlement offer I didn't think was possible. If you're looking for a lawyer who will explain you... complex law in an easily understandable manner and fight for you, look no further.

Greg represented me on a case earlier this year against an employer who did not honor my labor contract. Greg was thorough, responsive, and knowledgeable. I am pleased that we also won the case and appreciate all his efforts and clarity along the process.

Employment & Labor advice session

Greg has some very solid advice! He helped me out clarifying a non-compete issue.

Excellent advise

I am very pleased Mr. Filosa consulted with me. He was prompt, knowledgeable, and courteous. After listening to the facts I presented he assured me I had a discrimination case. The information he gave was extremely helpful. He offered several options, as far as, hiring a local lawyer, going through t...he EEOC or the Human Rights Division. In hiring a local lawyer he gave advise of questions to ask, fees, etc. If I lived in New York City I would hire him to represent me. Excellent attorney.
