Finally some Justice!!

Where do I start!! I found Alex online after reviewing his take on “Sexual Harrassment Retaliation”. I had already felt completely awkward with what had happened in my situation and now feared having to talk about it with an attorney or should I say stranger. Alex was the best listener and made me ...feel comfortable enough to explain my situation and assured me that justice would be done. Sure enough Justice WAS DONE!!! I walked away with a nice settlement and a smile on my face :)

Won my sexual harassment case, never stopped fighting for me

I am writing this review to share my appreciation for the outstanding representation I received from Alex Durst. I had the good fortune to have him as my lawyer in a case that was very challenging and very traumatic for me - I was the victim of severe sexual harassment by my supervisor and wrongful t...ermination from my job. Day by day, Alex worked extremely hard on my case, always having my back along the way and constantly reassuring me that no matter how difficult the case became, we were going to win – and he was right. Alex won my case, never leaving my side in my fight for justice. As such, I strongly recommend him to anyone fighting a sexual harassment case.

severance settlement

I was referred to Alex by another attorney when I ran out of time regarding my decision on accepting a severance offer from my company. Up against a deadline, Alex stepped in, secured an extension and began to communicate with my former employer on the details. He was able to direct me through the pr...ocess from a decision to leave the company thru agreement on the settlement amounts and details on benefits, etc.... Alex gained my trust from the first day and always did exactly what he said he would. Top notch!

Aggressive and Tough, Proven Winner

I was referred to Alex by a friend who is also an attorney, to represent me in a very emotional and high stakes employment discrimination case against a Fortune 500 company. I had consulted several other lawyers who either didn’t want my case or suggested I just pursue a small settlement and move... on. Alex was much more aggressive, but remained calm and rational throughout the process, providing empathetic emotional support to me and my family and always keeping us informed. Alex proved to be a very tough lawyer - he didn't take the easy, quick money, but rather took the time and went through the necessary steps to really set the case up right. After doing this, the other side came to the table. Alex patiently persevered through several rounds of negotiation and got me a great settlement. Everything Alex drafted in the case was extremely professional and meticulously well written. This earned him praise from even the defense attorney, who said his initial filing was the longest Complaint (lawsuit) they had ever had to respond to. Also, Alex structured the settlement in a way that maximized the amount our family netted, finding ways to make the key provisions acceptable to the other side. If you want a tough, proven and empathetic winner, pick Alex.

Great Atterney

Mr. Durst put an end to years of headache cause by a previous procrastinating and unprofessional atterney. I found Mr. Durst to be reasonably priced with very high quality work. Mr. Durst was quick to resolve my situation and always keep me updated. I would recommend him to my family and friends for ...any task if they ever needed an atterney. All in all, great experience.
