Posted by Eli | April 01, 2024 | Hired Attorney | Wrongful Termination

Best lawyer who could be advocating for you at a hard time. This is the guy you want to be your representative.

Losing a job is not easy especially when you know it was done in a way that is unfair or even breaks the law. I made my initial appointment with Scott and he went over every single detail and was honest to take all the information in and will honestly tell you if you have a case and proceed. If he do...esn’t think it’s something he can win for you he won’t lie to you. He’s completely honest, no result is guaranteed of course, but if you want to have someone who communicates very thoroughly, will do what’s best for YOU, then you can’t get better than him. He’s not going to entertain a case as an attempt if it’s not in your best interest. At our first appointment I knew I didn’t have to meet another attorney before I finalized my choice. I met with him and knew he would do the right thing for me and he will guide me and most importantly help at a time that is, to say the least, a hard time in your life. But knowing he’s representing you, you can feel you have a guardian standing with you to help. I can’t imagine trusting anyone else to take this over and be in control of holding people accountable on your behalf. You won’t ever wonder if you made the right choice. Almost literally you can take all the details and give them to him and he bears the weight and carries it for you. He’s a lawyer who empathizes with you, directs you, advocates for you and will do the right thing for you. I don’t think I could’ve found anyone else who would’ve been as honest, professional, empathetic, and detail all the steps you are going to take. You can be secure with him that you made the best choice at this horrible time in your life.

Professional, Precise and Efficient

Scott treated me with empathy and concern. He was supportive and reassuring. When he told me he considers helping people with legal problems his life’s work, I knew I was in the right place. While I am sure he was very busy with other clients, he always made me feel as if I was his only client. I cou...ld not have endured my ordeal without his very professional counsel.

An advocate for wrongful termination

I was devastated when after 40 plus years I was laid off. Scott was able to not only explain my options he was was able to calm me. I didn’t think he could get me any more than what the company offered, which was an insult after all I did for them. I had almost nothing to lose so I ask him to go for ...more. When all was said and done I’m still out of work but I can afford to pay my bills while I look for work.

Highy Recommend

My initial consultation with Mr. Mishkin was clearly looking out for my best interest even if it meant making a difficult choice of not moving forward with the discrimination case. I have only respect for such a professional who puts himself out for his clients and CARES about what is just even if i...t means a struggle without a payoff for him and his team. Mr Mishkin always communicated and actually listened and genuinely felt he was fighting against discrimination itself. I will recommend Mr Mishkin to anyone who needs direction from a lawyer who knows what direction to go and explain all the way. I truly felt Mr Mishkin had my best interest in mind the entire time.

Outstanding Highly Recommend

I am a professional and run a very active heavily employed public business. Mr. Mishkin's Law Firm was highly recommended to me to defend my business in claims for discrimination, retaliation and unpaid wages. Mr. Mishkin and his staff were successful in representing my business interests and mysel...f and my partners could not have been more satisfied and appreciative of the outcome and effort of this wonderful and knowledgeable Law Firm. Mr. Mishkin not only walked me through the law, but he understood the emotional distraught this action caused myself and my business partners. Kudos to Mr. Mishkin and his staff. How great this Firm is. Myself and my partners highly recommend this dedicated and caring Law Firm.

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.
