Employment Contract Review

Ms Block reviewed my medical employment contract before we moved to Pittsburgh. She provided quick feedback and walked us through the contract negotiations. Based on her advice we were able to negotiate more favorable terms in the contract that allowed for increased compensation and better work/life ...balance.

Employment Agreements

Beverly was very helpful in my negotiations on an employment separation. She was thorough, gave detailed feedback, and brought in additional expertise as needed. Through her counsel, I was able to obtain more favorable job exit terms. I was very happy with the outcome.

Extremely knowledgeable and trustworthy

We sought the legal services of Beverly Block for a real estate tax issue and to complete our wills. With each service, Beverly and her colleagues provided expert advice. We are 100% satisfied and will turn to Beverly again as trusted counsel on all legal matters.

Employment Counciling & Negotiation

Bev provided invaluable counseling when I dealt with an employment situation. She was thorough, thoughtful and prompt. She took the time to understand my goals, concerns and the unique challenges I faced. She then quickly identified the variables at play, suggested what I should ask for, and coa...ched me on how I should ask. From talking through my options to drafting email language to offering negotiation pointers, Bev's expertise in employment law helped me reach my desired settlement.
