Outstanding Employment Lawyer and Counselor! Highly Recommended!

I contacted Attorney Wasserman when my former firm decided to terminate my employment after ten years of service. I was given a severance agreement, but I did not like all the terms or the severance pay. Attorney Wasserman assisted me in negotiating a more appropriate severance package and more fav...orable provisions in the severance agreement. Additionally, she was the needed support that helped me navigate a difficult and challenging period in my professional life. Her knowledge of employment law and practical advice were incredible, and her rates were reasonable. Without reservation, I highly recommend Laurie.

Advice that saved me thousands

Laurie gave me outstanding advice regarding an employment problem. I was in a position where I was being harassed by a boss who wanted me out of his department , but knew how to "play the system" so there was no way I could prove his actions were, I believe, harassment based on ageism and sexism. ...She advised me to take an FMLA, and then apply for short term disability, which allowed me to get out an unbearable situation on my own terms. It also allowed me to retain my status as an employee long enough that I could retire without loosing anything from my pension or 401K.

ADA Success

She represented me in an ADA case successfully in 2012. She was honest, direct, fair and experienced. She was always there for me, not just on the legal issues, but for the human issues when the defense started to attack my work ethic and career. I would highly recommend her for her professionalism, ...sound practical advice to represent anyone in employment law litigation. I was very pleased at our success.

I endorse Ms. Wasserman

I went to Laurie with a wrongful termination / discrimination case after being terminated from my job. I had a quite unique case dealing with pregnancy. She listened to my needs and guided me along with great communication and clear expectations. Unfortunately I lost due to an EEOC ruling, but she... fought for me as hard as she could. I have recommended her to friends already and will do so again.

Excellant choice

Ms. Wasserman represented me in a sexual harassment/retaliation case with a former employer. She and her staff were responsive, caring and always there for me. I was able to get quick and honest answers.The case dragged on for a couple of years and she fought for me every step of the way. I trusted h...er advice and sought her consul.

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.

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.
