Blessed to have found Jack Tuckner and his team

Even beyond their legal representation, the entire process with Jack Tuckner and his firm was transformative and borderline therapeutic. My work and career were so important to me and when things went bad, it was truly traumatic and painful for a number of reasons. While I knew those "reasons" were v...alid, they were being delegitimized at every turn. Jack is so passionate about his advocacy for women in the workplace, even when dealing with micro-aggressions and and other such nuances of "working while Black." Ultimately my engagement with this firm gave me everything I needed to get much-needed closure and put this injustice behind me once and for all, so I can get back to making an impact through my work. I am so thankful to have found this team.

Hands Down the Best Around

I hired Jack after going through a series of issues at work, that began the moment I became pregnant. I feel honored to have found Jack. Jack helped me to settle a separation agreement with them, which gave me a safety net to fall back on while I looked for new employment. He gave me confidence and... made me understand what's happening isn't right. Jack is both highly knowledgeable as well as extremely kind. His professionalism as well as ability to make me feel safe, if that makes sense, can't be thanked enough. While I hope to never need a lawyer again, I almost wish Jack practiced every kind of law, just so that I can go to him next time I'm in need. His "second-hand," Deborah, was also incredible. Deborah is kind, courteous, efficient, and every interaction just a pure pleasure - which proved very uplifting in those serious moments of despair. The two together deserve all the business they can handle!

Highest recommendation for Jack Tuckner

There are not enough words to describe just how great of an attorney Jack is. He aided me in a desperate time during my pregnancy where I experienced pregnancy discrimination. He guided me through each and every step, gave me the confidence and strength to push through the experience, and in the end ...I not only got my job back but was compensated for the time I had lost due to the pregnancy discrimination! I was desperate and he always made himself available to me whenever I needed him- you will not find just any attorney who would do that for you (including late evenings). He was patient, caring, and kind but also fierce in making sure that my employer was very much aware of what they were committing. I am forever grateful and thankful for what he has done for me and deserves the highest of recommendations for the services that his firm provides. Thank you Jack.

A Way Forward

I went to Jack Tuckner with very little hope. Upon reviewing my documentation, Mr. Tuckner offered expertise and a way forward. I learned over time that he has an incredible amount of experience, and I cannot imagine the number of lives he has impacted. I wonder if he even knows how important his ...work has been to his clients! Thank you, Jack. His colleague Deborah is both caring and incredibly sharp. In addition to the work of the case, they also understood my psychology in suffering discrimination (much better than I do), so I learned a lot from them, and I've tried to pass that knowledge to others in my profession. I am forever grateful.

Getting the job done!

I was so hesitent about getting a lawyer to deal with my harassment issues at work. Being pregnant and activly avoiding stress, getting into a legal battle seemed like a last resort. After googling around I called Jack Tucker, of Tuckner, Sipser, Weinstock & Sipser, LLP, and spoke with Deborah. Debor...ah listened to my situation, was compassionate, sincere and intelligent. I spoke with Jack soon after and he agreed to take on my case. From the very beginning I felt understood and felt I had a right to seek help. Jack kept me informed as the case progressed. He was professional, tenacious and was able to have a sense of humor about things. The case settled very quickly in my favor, which was a great relief. Without finding Jack and Deborah I don't know how I would have managed a very stressful and unpleasant situation. They made me feel completely taken care of and validated.

Relationship: Other

"I have known Jack Tuckner since he was representing poor persons accused of crimes 30 years ago. It was obvious he cared about those clients, and he still cares about his clients. He brings to his cases the enthusiasm of a young attorney now backed by 30 years experience. I have referred many discrimination cases to him over the years and those clients were all extremely happy with his work. He gets outstanding results."
