Airline Employment Problem

My employer is based in Florida, so I contacted Scott to discuss my case. Airline regulations and their effect on employment can be difficult to understand for someone outside of the industry. Scott took the time to listen and apply the law to my specific situation. He did a great job with positive r...esults.

very professional

Mr Behren has been extremely helpful. Not only does he respond promptly to any questions, but he communicates in the most professional manner. I would use him again and recommend his services to anyone.

Satisfied Client

Scott was referred to me by my friend who used his services a couple of years ago. He is responsive, honest and doesn't beat around the bush. He helped me settle with my previous co-worker out of court when they failed to pay me commissions after I resigned. I was satisfied with the outcome.

Part 2!

I retained Scott in 2014 for a dispute I had with a former employer in the marine industry. The case was resolved the following year with a 5-figure settlement in my favor. Unfortunately, that wasn't entirely the end of the story. My former employer's manager was hired by the company I worked for in ...2019 and, unsurprisingly, I immediately began to have issues despite being considered an excellent employee for 16 months, having fantastic performance reviews from my then-managers and earning 2 raises. The company also used my likeness on presentations to, and personal influence with, the Fort Lauderdale City Commission. I contacted Mr. Behren and asked if there was an inherent conflict of interest in having a manager from a company I sued in a management position over me and if I could file a complaint if there was. He explained there is a possibility that there was and that we should first warn the company I was presently working for of the conflict. He wrote a letter to that end on my behalf. The company then took the manager's side and fired me within days of the letter being sent. Needless to say, we sued. As soon as the papers were served to the defendants their counsel contacted Scott and asked for a settlement demand! After some haggling another 5-figure settlement came my way. They didn't even attempt to defend themselves....which tells me they knew the absurdity of their allegations. In the days leading up to my termination my stress level was extreme and, consequently, my treatment of my family was very poor. The anguish that company caused me due to their obscene and obviously false allegations was almost unforgivable. I now have a handsome settlement and they're all unemployed; not because of the ongoing pandemic, but because they are so hideously mismanaged. Bottom line: if someone's messing with you at work, hire Scott. His retainer is affordable and his other fees make it all worthwhile.
