Don't Stand Alone Hire "Scott Michael Mishkin"

There are not enough words to praise Scott Michael Mishkin in how he helped me through an EEO case. I was so impressed on how he represented me in mediation he was prepared and his presentation was flawless. Scott goes above and beyond to ensure that he will try to exceed your expectations and fight ...for what is right. He did an outstanding job for me and he is truly an outstanding person. I would definitely recommend him and I would hire him again in the future. God Bless 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

I agree. Exceptional.

It's true. Scott Michael Mishkin and his team are rare. I knew every thing about my case step by step. Returned telephone calls, e-mails with attached court documents, regular billing statements so I knew exactly what was performed on my matter, and yes, successful litigation. Mr. Mishkin would e...ven contact me after work hours and on weekends to answer my questions. Even on Sunday. He and his team were very dedicated to my matter and I truly appreciated it. The other reviews stated he was a rare attorney and its true. Between his knowledge of the law as it applied to my allegations, and his staff's attentiveness to me, I also strongly recommend you speak with him before retaining another lawyer. He is the real deal. Thank you Mr. Mishkin.

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.

Josephine Purcaro--lawyer review

Look no further...If labor law is your issue then Scott is your guy.. The way the law is written I did not get that much of a settlement... So therefore Scott did not take any fee for himself...Great Service/Great Values...Still came out ahead of the game. If I ever need labor law again--I would neve...r go to anyone else.
