Tops in Employment Law!

When I needed an Employment Law attorney, Tony was recommended to me by several friends. You truly will not find anyone better in his field!

Review

Tony advised me properly throughout the entire process. He and his staff was responsive and willing to spend time answering my questions. My case was resolved expeditiously, which I really appreciated.

Lost A High Profile Case for Lack of Competency and poor Desernment Case Won by Another Firm

Hired this Firm to help me with a case, case was accepted the case without really understanding how to help me, lack of communication and true Discernment, caused me to loose time and a very high profile case, easy case with tons of documentation and proof against Corinthian Colleges. My case tha...t was neglected and missmanaged and communication was always poor. Case was later taken by another firm of competitive attorneys, who not only won the case but were so sharp and competent that 11 branches have been closed so far, the US Government is closing many more around the United States. Came to this attorneys because I had previously used them and after analysing , came to conclussion that in the last case all the work was done by me and charged over 16.000.00 thousands of dollars for less than two hours of work in a case were only I managed the full negotiation and documentation the 16k were to prepare the settlement agreement and a couple of calls. Total Failure,after seen that this National School closed almost every school in the US I realized the type of case I lost due to the fact that, I gave this Fools a chance to demontrate expertice,with thousands of proof against the colleges they failed to even understand what the case was at all about. I hope this does not happen to you.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • 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.
