Posted by anonymous | December 03, 2025 | Hired Attorney | Employment & Labor

Terrible non responsive attorney.

Worst legal experience of my life. Lawyer convinced me not to take a severance and then after I pay him $4k in retainer, he stopped responding when we were at the end stages of a potential settlement when we had discussed a clear path forward. Followed up several times but he never completed the work.... Completely unresponsive and totally flubbed my case. Not only am I out $4k but I left a $20k severance on his recommendation. He told me I had a “great case” and only after I paid him did he say it would be 50/50. Completely misled. And he’s a former colleague of my good friend.

Hands down the best employment attorney in NYC

I've engaged Ed a few times over the years. He's honest, fights for his clients and very sharp. I had a very complex case several years ago, and Ed took care of me all along the way. I felt like this attorney had my back the entire time. He has all the qualities that so many attorneys lack. If you ar...e looking for employment and labor, Ed is the best.

Avvo Rating

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. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
