Irwin Bruce Venick

I needed help with an issue with my employer, and while he told me that I didn't have a legal case I still hired him to him help me work with in the system. He didn't listen to me at all, he didn't do what I asked and we accomplished absolutely nothing and I spent a $1,000, erudition i didn't have ...and he didn't help me one little bit, absolutely nothing, no help what so ever. He could't get pass the fact that i didn't have a legal leg to stand on and just kept repeating that while i tried to explain to him how their system worked and what i needed him to do. He host continued to argued that point with me charging me by the hour. He couldn't listen to me to help me navigate within their system to write a responses and the information that I needed to help me hopefully hold on to my job. Total rip off

I reached out to Mr. Venick for his counsel on a separation agreement and for advice regarding discriminatory treatment I had experienced from my direct manager. Mr. Venick was out of town when I initially reached out and wouldn't be available until at least a week from my initial contact. As I... was under a time constraint I was anxious to meet with him. I shared that with his staff who apparently made sure Mr. Venick was aware of this. Mr. Venick was very responsive upon his return and scheduled a meeting with me on his 2nd day back in the office. During this 1st meeting, Mr. Venick took the time to ask me a lot of specific but thoughtful questions to help us move forward. Throughout the process, he was very responsive as well as proc-active in reaching out to me to make sure I didn't miss any deadlines. I would recommend(and already have) Mr Venick to anyone who needs assistance with employment/employer issues.

Mr. Venick's professional assistance and advice during the worst six months of my lengthy career was outstanding. He was like the extended family member who helped me work through the emotional anger of my former workplace situation when newer, younger, and less experienced people became my direct su...pervisors. Once I was able to focus on the facts and document them as Mr. Venick recommended, I was able to make the appropriate decisions for me and my family. We did not go to the litigation phase, but I did receive what we both felt was a fair settlement offer. I highly recommend him and his firm.

I contacted Mr. Venick after I had been forced to retire from my Washington, DC-based organization. I needed assistance in negotiating a severance package and possibly taking further steps. He was terrific in helping me. Ultimately this was not a situation requiring protracted legal back-and-forth... or a lawsuit. Mr. Venick's advice was great. He did an excellent job of walking me through everything that happened. The most impressive thing he did (in my opinion) was to ask me what I wanted the outcome to b and walk me through the pros and cons of all my options. The outcome was minimalist. All of the negotiation with my former employer were taken care of by mail and phone. This was a huge relief. Trying to work all of this out in Washington, DC, and in Nashville would have been arduous, especially given that I had unexpected health issues in the middle of it. It was settled to me satisfaction. All this is to say, that Mr. Venick was a terrific lawyer who encouraged modest measured steps to achieve what I wanted. Other lawyers mightjust have said see you all in court. I am grateful for his help.

Irwin's exceptional knowledge in this area allowed me to successfully escape a very bad work environment. The number one complaint against attorneys is lack of communication. There were no issues with Irwin. He kept me involved every step of the way; and I never had to wonder what was going on with m...y case. He spoke in terms that any layperson would understand. Irwin was totally honest, forth coming, and fair. I not only found a great attorney; I now consider him a friend. A professional guy with an excellent staff.
