About Greg

Workplace Dispute? Fight Back! Call Today for a FREE CASE EVALUATION

Outstanding results at a fair price! We specialize in resolving workplace disputes in the most cost-effective manner. Our experienced team handles virtually all issues involving the employment relationship, including cases involving wrongful termination, discrimination, wage/hour and overtime pay, sexual harassment/hostile work environment, employment agreements, non-compete agreements, disability and medical leave, retaliation/whistleblower protection, workplace violence, health and safety regulations, breach of contract, misappropriation of trade secrets, breach of fiduciary duty, and other business torts. 

We frequently advise and represent employees who have been offered severance packages. We review the proposed severance agreement, provide our feedback on the fairness and reasonableness of its terms, and handle negotiations with the employer. We are very experienced in the fast-growing area of wage/hour and overtime disputes under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). Unlike most Atlanta employment law firms, we represent federal government employees in connection with Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) complaints and hearings.We also have a niche practice of representing physicians, nurses and other healthcare professionals in employment matters. 

We understand that litigation is a long and costly process that may be unattractive to many. Accordingly, when possible, we utilize efficient, cost-effective alternatives to litigation, such as settlement negotiations, mediation and arbitration. We also represent employees in civil service board appeals and unemployment appeal hearings before the Georgia Department of Labor. 

Our philosophy is simple—provide the highest quality of legal services at a fair price. Mr. Fidlon graduated from the University of Pennsylvania Law School in 1998 and has been practicing exclusively in labor and employment law since. He is also a licensed CPA. Mr. Fidlon and the lawyers at Fidlon Legal bring a wealth of knowledge, experience and practical know-how to the table. We are tireless advocates for our clients, both inside and outside of the courtroom. We understand that finding a lawyer is not an easy process.

    Review Greg Fidlon

    Outstanding Employment Attorney in the Atlanta Area

    Posted by

    OUTSTANDING! Don't look anywhere else for an exceptional attorney to represent you in an employment related claim. I had an extremely complex issue to navigate, and Greg took the time and made the effort required to fully understand the circumstances, my position, and all of the underlying details. He was very straightforward with our agreement, billing, and I knew exactly what to expect. Let's face it - none of us want to have to retain an attorney... but if you do, I can't recommend a better one - Greg Fidlon exceeded my expectations in all respects - very well done.

    Greg Fidlon is an excellent attorney and advocate.

    Posted by

    I first met with Greg Fidlon years ago for an employment matter. He worked very diligently on my case. It got to the point that he remembered the details of the case even better than I did. He was an exceptional advocate and had an amazing tenacity. He was really professional at all times, and saw the matter through to the very end. We settled the case in the end which was amazing. I very much highly recommend Mr. Greg Fidlon.

    RESPONSIVE AND SUPER HELPFUL!

    Posted by

    I contacted Greg Fidlon to provide me with guidance on unemployment benefits issues. Greg promptly responded and was beyond helpful. He answered all of my questions - and I had many! But I didn't feel rushed by him. He listened and provided great feedback and insight. I would highly recommend Greg to anyone for assistance with unemployment issues, as well as any other employment matter. He knows what he's doing! Thanks, Greg!

    Excellent attorney!!

    Posted by

    My wife and I called in and got a consultation. Not only was Greg 100% knowledgeable, but he also gave real advice rather than just saying hire me. He helped us understand the situation my wife was in and gave us the best shot to resolution moving forward. His expertise is very appreciated, and we are very hopeful that things will go in our favor. Employer issues are never never easy, especially when you feel like you’re being hustled from all sides. I applaud excellent service, and he is our go-to guy in the future as well.

    Excellent Service

    Posted by

    Greg Fidlon’s name was given to me by my sister-in-law. Contacting him was one of the best decisions I ever made. He was thorough, got all the information he would need to help me with my case; even ones I didn’t think about. He was efficient, professional and brilliant. He represented me during my interview, asking all the right questions. I really appreciate all the help I received. I would not have won my case if it wasn’t for Greg Fidlon. I would definitely recommend him.

    Thorough objective counsel

    Posted by

    Greg was great throughout the entire process. He is thorough, honest, and great in communicating your position and the possible position of the accused party. This helps to manage your expectations and prepare for what could possibly come next. I appreciate the fact that he plays devils advocate when building your case, to ensure that you have a solid ground to stand on and you aren’t just overzealously chasing a case off emotion. We got a better than expected result from my case and I would emphatically recommend him to future clients.

    I found myself in a situation while not illegal was very unethical. Greg’s manner in walking me through my situation and what was and was not achievable made the difference. I found Greg to be highly ethical, professional, responsive and too the point

    Honest, Methodical, and Thorough

    Posted by

    When I started my search for an attorney I had hoped I would find one who made me feel like my issue was as important to them as it was for me. I needed them to be thorough, gain full understanding of my needs, and act in a manner that best represented who I was and what I stood for. I was so lucky in finding Greg and could not have asked for more. Not only was he thorough and methodical, but really spent the time necessary to understand my needs and represent me in an honest manner. His follow-up was impeccable, I knew that I would receive an email or follow-up as we approached and passed a key point in the process. Thank you Greg for exceeding my expectations.

    Successful Outcome

    Posted by

    I recently hired Attorney Greg Fridlon to represent me on a Department of Labor appeal case. I had concerns about which attorney to hire but glad I chose Fridlon's law firm. Mr. Fridlon conducts business professionally and is exact (to the point) and he was successful in winning the case.

    Greg was my opposing counsel in a sexual harassment case. He represented his client well, with a strong understanding of the law. He was a real professional and great to work with even as we represented opposing views. I would certainly recommend him to both employee and employers.

    Greg is an outstanding attorney and colleague. I have been so impressed with his knowledge of the law, his superior legal research and writing skills, and his highly effective negotiation strategies. Greg always demonstrates professionalism in his practice, and he truly cares about his clients and goes above and beyond the call of duty in representing their interests. He works hard to ensure that he provides the highest quality of legal service at the most cost effective price.

    Allan Kassenoff, Employment and labor Attorney on Jun 9, 2009
    Relationship: Worked together on matter

    I have known and worked with Greg for over twelve years. In that time, Greg has repeatedly shown himself to be an excellent lawyer. His grasp of the law is matched only by his understanding of his client's practical needs. Greg has a candid, no-nonsense approach and is always extremely professional. When a client, colleague or friend needs a recommendation for an employment attorney in the Atlanta area, I always refer them to Greg. The feedback I have received from those I have referred to Greg has been overwhelmingly positive, with several praising his expertise in the field. In short, Greg is a top-notch attorney, and I cannot recommend him enough.

    Jeanne Hipes, Employment and labor Attorney on May 8, 2009

    Greg is a brilliant attorney--extremely knowledgeable, professional, highly responsive, and level-headed. A joy to work with, he is an aggressive and persistent advocate who provides excellent legal services to his clients.
