Scott Michael Mishkin is an attorney with a heart!

Scott M. Mishkin offered me hope while dealing with an employment situation that made me feel hopeless and victimized. Having Scott M. Mishkin on my team, fighting against discrimination was empowering! Scott helped me to get the relief that I needed. He was able to force my employer to abide by the ...law and give me the benefits that I earned. I couldn't have been victorious in my fight against discrimination with Scott Michael Mishkin.

Employment issue

Mr. Mishkin helped me with what seemed to be a hopeless situation where I was being discriminated against for age and gender at work. He told me exactly what to do, and it worked perfectly. This is not only an excellent attorney, this may be a great man in the fight for workers' rights. Without hi...m, against a huge corporation, and with you in a low-paying job, you are at their mercy. I cannot even quantify the benefits he gave to me, my fellow workers, and to the corporation as a whole, because now, they must rethink their way of handling issues in the workplace. Workers---you have rights. Don't be traumatized and frightened--let Mr. Mishkin help you! Your quality of life will improve greatly. Thank you, Sir!

Glad I had him!

I worked for an agency for many years. During the last year, I worked with an individual who was sexist. I requested a transfer verbally on numerous occasions but this fell on deaf ears. After sending letters to the appropriate parties I was granted a transfer. After this I began to be retaliated ag...ainst. I retained Scott who fought for my rights! He truly had my back and I highly recommend him!

VERY rare find these days!!

Just a quick background story. I, as a professional employee of a very large company that i had been working for approximately five years, I was being bullied, discriminated against, retaliated against, was constantly being threatened to be fired, for nothing legitimate. This went on for the last ye...ar of my employment there. I had been brought down to the HR director and accused of ridiculous things from doing drugs at work to coming to work impaired. I was interrogated for hours as i was sobbing explaining that i am the major income of the household and if she makes false accusations like this, I would not be able to take care of my family. I was told that was not her business by this woman twice, and twice put out on administrative leave. I was so scared and confused about what was going on since all my testing was negative. This woman chose to continue to badger me and make my life a living hell.I decided to look up employment lawyer and GOD led me to Scott. I made an appointment with him, from the moment I walked into the office, i was greeted by a wonderful receptionist named Mary, she brought me back to Scott, we sat and i told him the entire painful story. He immediately made me feel calm, and a felling of hope came over my body. He treated me with the utmost respect, he never once made me feel stupid, even when i asked silly questions. He gave me as much time as i needed. His words at our first meeting was " i have your back, i will help you, don't worry" he hugged me and started the process of warning them, that what were doing was not only a violation of my rights, but on the edge of illegal. I retained him right away. He and colleague Kyle got right to work, fiilng EEOC charges and just basically took the reigns and told me to let them drive and they WILL stop this "freight train" Not only did he have the woman fired, but he was able to get a nice settlement for my mental anguish and other nonsense things they made me do. Scott and colleagues are Kind, Knowledgeable and they absolutely 100% care about their clients!! It is not very often you find genuine people, but he is certainly one them. I could never have been so brave to go up against a large company like this if it hadn't been for Scott and his wonderful staff. Trust me when i say if you looking for an employment lawyer, consider at least meeting him

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.
