Everyone I was involved with at the firm did an excellent job and made a long and frustrating process much easier to deal with. Mr. Kornbluth worked hard on my behalf to secure the best possible outcome and that was very much appreciated.
I trusted Michael Kornbluth with my future, career and livelihood. I met with several other attorneys before Michael and knew they could never handle my case. The day I walked into his office I trusted my husband, myself and no one else. I was a victim of harassment for many years and my harasser was enabled and protected by the highest figures at the company where we both worked. When I walked out of Michael’s office I knew I had found an attorney who was not afraid to take on a very powerful man and organization. Michael did not promise me an endless bank account at the end of this fight, he promised me my abuser and his colleagues would be held accountable for their actions and that my family and I would get our lives back. Michael delivered. He also fought for and incredible settlement. He would have gone to trial with me and I would have humiliated many executives in my home town. I had been humiliated for years so I was not afraid of a trial. Michael educated me to the advantages and disadvantages to trial vs mediation. He helped me decide that years of trials and appeals would not put my life back together. I sat in a room at mediation with the highest officials of the organization we both worked and had my day. They were ashamed. I don’t think they were ashamed of their actions, just that they had been caught and were being held accountable. Michael Kornbluth is a great attorney and more important an incredible person. When I pass my abuser and his colleagues in public I hold my head high and they look anywhere but at me. Michael gave my pride and self-confidence back.

termination/unemployment hearing
I used Mr. Kornbluth twice and both times we had successful outcomes. He is very knowledgeable and will fight for your cause. I have recommended him to a former colleague who thought he may be terminated from work. Mr Kornbluth was also able to work within my budget, as I had limited funds. I was very grateful for that.
