Jonathan Bobbitt's Management of My Wrongful Termination

Mr. Bobbitt was recommended to me by a colleague that was helping me through an unfortunate situation. After multiple decades of working for an employer in a key leadership role, with stellar results and personnel reviews, I was told to be ready to depart employment in approximately 6 months. I was... also informed there would be no severance, unemployment, etc. At this time I was approaching the age of 60 with a lot of fear of what would happen next. Mr. Bobbitt met with me within just a few days of my call to his firm. At that time, he listened to my concerns and issues. He asked probing questions that were relevant to determine if there would be just cause to go forward with either a suit or request for settlement. Jonathan was very patient during our first meeting and explained the process and possible mental strain I would face since I was still at the work site. I immediately thought this gentleman cares. We agreed to terms that I thought were extremely fair, signed an agreement and I attempted to get back to normal. In less that a month, Jonathan was able to negotiate me out of the daily adversarial workplace. I was no longer subjected daily to the stress factors that were being placed on me. During the next three months, Jonathan and I would meet several times in person and discussed the issues. He was always quickly available for phone consultation if I called. During this time, he had a caring attitude of how I was handling all the personal turmoil of the situation. He provided needed and welcomed advice. At the end of a three month period, Jonathan had solidified a severance package that was approved by my employer and me. I believe he negotiated a fair settlement in light of the situation and facts. He was able to do this in a short period of time which allowed me to go forward to my next phase of my life. I am fortunate to have met Jonathan and am extremely appreciative of the service he and his firm provided. I do not believe my case could have been handle any better elsewhere. If I ever need legal assistance concerning human resource issues, I will go directly to Mr. Bobbitt.

Peace of Mind & Positive Results

After an incident in the work place, where my privacy was violated and my trust was taken advantage of, I sat down with Jonathan for an initial consultation. When I walked into the office and began to explain what happened to me, I broke down. Not only had something despicable been done to me in my... place of work, but I now had no job as a result. Jonathan was incredibly professional. He listened,asked me questions I hadn't thought of, and assured me that he would do everything possible to give me some feeling of justice. He kept his word. I will always be greatful to him for that.
