Highly Recommend

Paul is fantastic. I hired him multiple times to look over severance paperwork as well as employment offers and associated agreements. He always offers that if I have questions that he will help me, I’ve definitely taken advantage of that and consulted with him on what action is best to take. His adv...ice is always spot on. I’m glad I got RIF’d and met him as a result!

VP Ambulatory

Paul was able to explain highly complex state and federal statutes related to contracts, employment agreements and executive benefits retirement plans. His knowledge supported my ability to make informed decisions on next steps. As I researched various legal representatives, the difference in both... Paul's knowledge and approach was evident. He provided guidance and options at each step of the process. His communications were timely and on point. He was transparent regarding how the issues might evolve and ensured no false expectations. He smoothly handled all of the communications with the opposing representatives. Thanks to Paul's support, I am very satisfied with how my issues were resolved. I highly recommend Paul!

Great experience and protected my best interests! Highly Recommend!

I reached out to Attorney Secunda for a consultation on an employment separation agreement. His immediate response and explanation of services was amazing. We hired him immediately to handle the agreement negotiations. Paul was an outstanding advocate for my negotiations. He really listened and provi...ded feedback specifically to protect me and my family. He thoroughly explained all information to be sure we understood the details of our case and always ensured we knew the decision was ours. I felt like I had such a friend in my corner, I cannot even say partner because it felt like he was a solid friend protecting our interests. So responsive to every email, phone call, and any concerns we had. I can’t say enough positive statements of what he did for our family! I would highly recommend working with Attorney Secunda and he would be my first call if I needed services again.

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.
