Practice Area

Employment and Labor 100%

I represent people with problems that arise in the workplace. Discrimination, sexual harassment, retaliation and failure to accommodate disabilities are all examples. Unpaid wages and failure to pay overtime are two more common issues. I practice in courts and in administrative agencies like EEOC and the Department of Labor.

Fantastic Attorney

I was a CEO of a healthcare organization. I led my company through a merger with a more powerful company and I received a severance offer of a year's pay. I met with Mr. Wenzel who was generous with his time and was kind to me at a difficult time in my career. As a result of our collaboration, my off...er was increased. From Ana who talked to me at the beginning of my engagement with this law firm through Mr. Wenzel’s efforts, I was impressed with the professionalism and empathetic understanding that was shown to me.

Mr. Wenzel did a wonderful job investigating, negotiating and trying my case. He was kind, aggressive and extremely knowledgeable.

Excellent Attorney

I am a local attorney in the Tampa Bay area and found myself in the unfortunate position of needing a labor and employment attorney. Mr. Wenzel's firm was recommended to me by another attorney who I hold in very high regard. I called Mr. Wenzel's office and had a telephone consultation the same day.... While I cannot mention any specifics about the case, I can say that Mr. Wenzel is extremely well versed on the law, addressed all of my concerns, was very responsive when I called or emailed him, and most importantly, obtained a result that I am satisfied with. I highly recommend Mr. Wenzel and his firm.

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.
