Dispute with old employer on health care

My old Employer was trying to take advantage of us by changing some of the ways our health plan was administered. Paul was knowledgeable from the start and understanding. An agreement was worked out to essentially leave our healthcare unchanged. This was so important to our future. I had a bad e...xperience in the past with the law and legal system. Paul helped renew faith in the system. Thanks Paul!

Expert, Empathic, Exceeded my Expectations

I reached out to various attorneys for assistance with a request for reasonable accommodation in my employment setting. From the start, Paul Secunda easily and favorably set himself apart. He promptly returned my initial call, and we discussed my situation in a helpful, unrushed conversation. Draw...ing upon his extensive knowledge and experience, Paul fully explained an effective legal approach to securing the accommodation and the many advantages of his assistance in the process. The billing process was transparent. I hired Paul with complete confidence. Paul's involvement was the catalyst for making progress with my employer. Before hiring Paul, my efforts had been met with denials from the HR Department. Then Paul stepped in and advocated on my behalf. He relieved me from the stress of navigating the process on my own. Paul's interactions with my employer and my employer's attorney were positive and professional. He achieved the results that eluded me before securing his services. Ultimately, I received the accommodation for which I had hoped. In a world of legal settings marked by poor communication, hidden expenses, and a lack of empathy, Paul Secunda is a breath of fresh air. Paul responded quickly and effectively to my questions throughout my legal process, kept me informed, and carefully considered the best approach for my unique circumstances. Paul cared about my well-being. He treated me with care and respect. I am most fortunate to have known and worked with Paul. He is an exceptional attorney and individual. I recommend Paul Secunda highly and without reservation.

Great to Worth With.

I had the unfortunate event of finding myself in an employee-employer event late on a Friday afternoon. To quickly summarize, I am a healthcare provider and was employed by a medium sized healthcare firm. I reached out to 4 firms via email over the weekend to discuss my situation. Paul persona...lly called me on Monday morning. 2 firms never returned my call and the other called me back almost a week later. Definitely points for responsiveness out of the gate. Paul reassured me that he had experience in dealing with the issue I had at hand and we spent about 40 minutes talking in our initial consultation and he was thorough and patient with all my questions during this initial free consultation period. By the end of the call, we had agreed to work together as I had complete confidence in his representation. As I wanted the issue resolved quickly given the quickly deteriorating relationship with my employer, he had a contract ready for me within 24 hours to represent me and by the next day, he had contacted my employer with a separation agreement. I did not have to have any further contact with my employer and he handled all the details in getting me a full separation and completely on my terms within a week of our initial consultation and I was able to move on. I would not hesitate to hire Paul for any future needs should they arise in any employment issue.

Paul Secunda: A Light in the Dark

Attorney Secunda is one of the best lawyers in the business of employment & benefits law. When I informed him about the unique details of my case, he instantly retained me and protected me from my employer's legal team and hefty fines; he then continued to fight for me until I was fairly compensated ...for what had occurred to me during my employment. Paul is determined, professional, and always available to discuss your concerns about your claim. I would highly suggest Attorney Secunda if you need help in the arena of employment & benefits law. He is truly a light in the dark and I cannot thank Paul enough for everything he has done for me during this difficult time. Thanks again, Attorney Secunda!!!

Labor Related Legal Representation

I contacted Paul because my employer withheld my final paycheck. He was quick to respond and clearly highlighted what he considered to be the legal recourse in my situation. Based on his recommendations we proceeded through the process of recovering the lost wages. During the entire process he was ho...nest and and professional. I have minimal knowledge of the legal system and he answered all of my questions promptly and courteously. I was very comfortable with the entire process and would recommend him to anyone in a situation similar to mine or an even more difficult.
