Best of the Best in Employment Law!!!

One reviewer on GOOGLE gave him 1 star for telling her he was "too busy" to take her call -which I HIGHLY DOUBT ---- SO TACKY to take the time of her day to do such a thing. I have NO doubt that Shands would have NEVER EVER told anyone he was, "too busy" because of my 7+ years of knowing him and his ...professionalism. She missed out with her "quick-to-judge" attitude & hurt feelings because he does not employ a receptionist, or a paralegal to field calls. I will explain to you why this is awesome. And I never ever had difficulty with communication with Shands. He always took my call when he could, and always called me back promptly - even long after my case was over. So, In my opinion, Shands is best described like old school doctors when it comes to bedside manner; very professional, reserved, and compassionate. If you are looking for the best of the best when it comes to employment law, here you go. Shands handled my case about 6 years ago and of course he won it for me because Shands won't take a case unless he KNOWS he can win it. There are no paralegals to plead your hour long story to, only to miss important key details before getting turned down by the attorney. It's just Shands. You actually meet with him and he takes extremely detailed notes and asks tons of questions to help establish your case. I paid my retainer immediately after my meeting with him which was more than fair. Shands was and will always have been a blessing for me, and the validity and justice of my case. I love going back and reading his Prima Facie and the demand letters because they are powerful. I only accept the BEST in my life. I got turned down by a few firms who would not listen to me, and left out key details of my case. It was like I had won the lottery when Shands answered the phone, listened to me, and asked me to come see him. I spent hours and hours, and days researching attorneys before I found Shands. Do not question your judgment - Just hire him. Even if on the first call he is busy and has to call you back--You will be forever grateful. I am So thankful I did--even if I would have lost my case because I know he would have done everything to fight for me.

Best Employment Attorney in Jacksonville

After being terminated by my company when I filed an HR complaint, I did not know where to go or what to do. I was fortunate enough to meet Shands Wulbern. I was very nervous that my case wasn't large enough but he saw things in my case that I was not even aware of. With him on my side, I no longe...r felt like the underdog. Any time I had a question, he would give me a very thorough answer and would take the time to explain different options and scenarios. He made me feel like I was a priority and not just another "case". Mr. Wulbern is extremely knowledgeable, honest, reliable, and he truly cared about me and my case. Every step of the way I was informed, allowed to be in on the decision making process, with guidance of course. Thank you, Shands Wulbern for all your hard work. I would recommend you a million times over!!!!!! "

  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
