Posted by Bradley Pierson | June 26, 2019 | Hired Attorney | Wrongful Termination

Awesome- wasn't sure what to expect.

When I was fired from a weird marketing firm, I had a lot of questions. I called this firm and spoke to Kelly Wilson, who went over what to expect. I was a little skeptical when she said it can take up to a year to get an amount- but she assured me we would pursue it in court if need be. Long story s...hort, our case didn't settle and I was then working with an attorney who specifically represented clients in court, Daniel Dubow. After discovery, we were offered an amazing amount of money and even after giving 40% to my attorney. I got thousands for something I almost didn't pursue. While the legal process is long and somewhat boring, it worked for me. Thanks everyone!

A truly respectable attorney.

Brian Spitz is THAT attorney. He's the guy that you read about in the paper or see in the movies- the guy that takes a case based on a genuine desire to help others.  He has grown his practice organically by earning the trust of his clients and following thru. He looks out for his clients, keeps them... informed, is highly knowledgable, and honest. I have worked for him as a hired tradesperson for home and office updates, as well as hired him to draft contracts and more. If you are looking for a lawyer that will see things thru, pay attention to details, and genuinely care about you as a client or strategic partner, this is your guy!

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.
