Posted by Bridget | January 27, 2026 | Hired Attorney | Wrongful Termination

There are good, sincere people in this world-I feel lucky that one of them was my lawyer. Scott Michael-Mishkin

From the very first phone call with Scott, after reading his glowing reviews, I knew I had found the right attorney. I hired him for a wrongful termination and sexual harassment case including the EEOC, and from day one, he impressed me with his knowledge, compassion, and professionalism. ...Scott is one of the smartest people I've ever met. He knows employment law inside and out. There's no doubt you're in the hands of someone who truly understands how the system works and how to navigate it. He's sharp, strategic, and meticulous, always thinking several steps ahead. At the same time, he's warm, approachable, and has a great sense of humor that makes even stressful moments easier to handle. What really stood out to me was how deeply he cared about my life beyond my case. He showed genuine empathy when I shared my cancer story and my experiences raising a son with autism. He listened not just as an attorney, but as a real person who wanted to understand my story and stand beside me through it. His office is beautiful, and his staff is professional and friendly. His secretary is always on top of things. She is organized, efficient, and kind. Appointments always ran on time, and I never had to wait. There were no surprise fees: Scott is up front about costs and crystal clear about billing. Scott reminds me of all the characters from the Wizard of Oz in one person. He has the brains, the heart ,and the courage. He fought hard for me and never backed down. If you're looking for an attorney who is brilliant, kind, and truly dedicated to his clients, I can't recommend Scott highly enough. He is brilliant, genuine and courageous-the kind of advocate everyone hopes to have in their corner. I'm incredibly grateful not just what he did for my case, but how he made me feel heard and valued me along the way. It is important to me that other people who are looking for help can know what an extraordinary attorney and human being he is. Feeling incredibly grateful. Bridget Riley-Marine January 2026

Wrongful termination/Compassion and empathy

After consulting on my case with many other attorneys who said no because I was a part time employee. Scott said yes. Because I was a part time employee for a church, who lost his job , and also experienced the traumatic loss of a loved one Scott showed compassion and empathy to structure a paymen...t plan ( that other attorneys would not) that enabled me to move forward seeking justice for my wrongful termination. With Scott's expertise, Scott was able to secure a favorable settlement on my behalf.

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.

IF EMPLOYMENT ISSUES ARE YOUR PROBLEM-SCOTT MISHKIN IS YOUR ANSWER!

I was being discriminated and retaliated against on my job for months and paralyzed by fear to complain until things became so intense, I had to do something. I reached out to HR who basically took the side of management and resolved nothing. I had no one to turn to. Management continued to bully and... reprimand me for things I had not done. They made my days a living nightmare. Since I felt there was no one I could turn to, I endured this behavior. Seeing that all of their efforts would not make me quit, they unjustly terminated me based on lies and false accusations. I tried to move on but my gut would not allow this injustice to win. I needed help. After much research, I found Scott Mishkin. During a consultation, his hospitality toward me and my guest was authentic. I explained my situation but advised him that I was apprehensive about doing something because the company is very well known and I'm not. I felt like a little fish in a big pond. After talking to Scott, I felt like a megalodon. He assured me there was hope and encouraged me to pursue my cause. He advised me as how to proceed and I planned to follow his instructions. The next morning, I received a call from Scott (himself) at 8:00 a.m. He asked me a few follow up questions and then instructed me to cancel the previous plan because he would personally pursue my case. I have never been treated with such respect and dignity by someone who had just met with me. My confidence is through the roof and my expectation is phenomenal! Stay tuned for the outcome...

Thank you Scott Michael Mishkin

In May of 2017 I was discriminated against and wrongfully terminated from my company. After seeking legal representation, attorneys in my area were unwilling to take my case and claimed that I did not have a case. A search online led to me to Scott Michael Mishkin, PC. He welcomed me into his offic...e the next day, assured me that I had a case and spent the next five months on a daily basis negotiating on my behalf. A settlement was reached in my favor and I was reinstated thanks to Attorney Scott Michael Mishkin. Attorney Scott Michael Mishkin was always reachable, professional, and attentive to every detail surrounding my case. He cared about my case, went up against a large company and saved my career. Thank you Attorney Scott Michael Mishkin for your hard work and dedication. I highly recommend Attorney Scott Michael Mishkin to anyone that has been discriminated against and can assure you that you will be in good hands.
