Very Satisfied Client

Seth handled my Social Security Disability claim with great professionalism. I appreciated the honest and ethical handling of my claim. The thorough, comprehensive summary brief he prepared for the hearing made all the difference and led to a favorable outcome. Thank you Seth

PUA Claim

The State of Michigan issued a Redetermination on my PUA claim and indicated I did not qualify for PUA benefits. The state also sent me a letter indicating that I owed all of the money they had previously paid me back. To qualify for benefits and then to be told that you don’t is very stressful and ...a huge burden. I protested my redetermination and was granted a hearing. Don’t try and take this on by yourself! Hire a professional that is well versed in employment law. I consulted with Seth and he said he thought I had a case. We went to trial and we prevailed. I couldn’t have been successful without him. He’s a great attorney that knows the law and his flat fee structure was reasonable and fair. I would highly recommend him to anyone having Unemployment or PUA related issues.

Outstanding Attorney

Over the years I have had to engage several different attorney's for various things. I have to say that by far I would rate Seth the best attorney I have ever worked with. He is extremely professional but most importantly he got the results we wanted and he responded in a timely fashion with consi...stent follow up prior to my case hearing. He also went the extra mile and reached out to me in another legal area that he covers besides what I had hired him for. He saw some "red flags" and was concerned for me and wanted me to be aware of some issues that may arise and gave me some expert advice. I would recommend this attorney to anyone and certainly use Seth again if I need to.

Prompt, thorough and efficient

I spent about 4 days trying to find an attorney to respond to my inquiries. Seth responded within the same day and gave me an overview of his thoughts my severance package. He provided his flat fee rate which was reasonable so that he could review my contract completely and address any questions I ...had from the contract. I figured this would be in his queue and be completed in a couple of weeks. To my surprise and pleasure, he completed this in less than two business days and reviewed the contract with me. He provided some good advice and provided guidance on additional questions to ask my employer. I am satisfied with the work he quickly and thoroughly provided to me. I never felt rushed with him. I recommend Seth for employment law contracts.

Disability Claim

Seth was so wonderful with assisting me with my disability claim! He was extremely thorough and efficient through the whole process. In addition and very important to me--he kept in constant contact and always promptly returned my calls and answered questions. Highly recommended!
