Ethan G. Zelizer

I'm a business owner. I've been dealing with a long and stressful ordeal that's escalated into a legal matter. I researched different options, but was so confused and stressed out about how to proceed. I contacted other attorneys, and while a couple of them were helpful, most didn't give me much ass...istance or guidance without first asking for exorbitant fees; many of them just completely blew me off. I contacted Ethan Zelizer's firm and had great, professional experiences with his staff. Ethan charged me a very reasonable fee to review some documents related to my case and then consult with me over the phone about everything. He took his time to understand what I was dealing with and thoughtfully laid out what my options were. He dealt with some sensitive aspects of my case with great empathy and professionalism, which made me feel very comfortable in discussing everything. He let me know what he thought the relative probability of success would be for the options he laid out based on similar cases he has seen; in this sense, I feel like he gave me very good strategic advice. And of course, he thoroughly answered all of the questions I had prepared. If you're dealing with a stressful legal matter, don't hesitate to consult with Ethan Zelizer. Life is too short and you want competent and caring advice to guide you through the tough times. Trust me, his reasonable fees are well worth it. I know that when you're going through difficulties, the last thing you want to do is to spend money, but it's worth it for the kind of experienced and strategic advice that you get from Ethan Zelizer. I feel much more confident with my circumstances now and I know that you will too.

I was in Big Pharma. I was a 10 year female employee who was making north of $250k with my bonus structure. I got a brand spanking new sales manager who liked to call me "honey" and comment on my outfits and what he'd like me to wear. He said I'd be better off wearing shorter skirts. I was sexually ...harassed. I was fired after complaining. But they called it a reorganization and said I just didn't "fit" anymore. I met with Mr. Zelizer, face to face, during a consultation. During that time, Mr. Zelizer was easy to talk to and he gave me some excellent advice. The consultation fee was worth the advice. However, I still wanted to look around. What I found out, is that many attorneys will not meet with you, and talk to you, like Mr. Zelzier did with me. With other attorneys, you are required to fill out a questionnaire, which leaves out so many details; then someone there, determines it's not a good fit. Or, you get to speak with their receptionist, and he/she determines that the attorney will not take your case, no reason provided. Or, the attorney will possibly give you a call back, but be ready to defend yourself. ( I felt like I was already on trial and it wasn't going too good!) Then, some of the attorneys, are very concerned and want to represent you, just send your payment in and all documents via email, one of their attorneys will get to it. Finally, you get the attorney, that seems concerned, and knowledgeable, then you find out that if you don't settle before going to court, you will need another attorney. Naturally, I knew that I had already found the best Law firm (HR Law Counsel and Ethan) for me and for my case. Mr. Zelizer is sincere, I truly feel that he cares about me, and is concerned with the outcome of my case and how my life will be affected for the long term. Mr. Zelizer is smart and extremely knowledgeable, this is his SPECIALTY and has the credentials to back him up! (he teaches employment law for Petes sake). Mr. Zelizer is straightforward, to the point, a no nonsense kind of guy. If he doesn't know something, he will tell you so, find out, then he will get back with you in a timely manner. In terms of results: I was very satisfied with how my case was resolved. Ethan advised me against taking several settlement offers because he had confidence in the case and knew we could defeat the company in court. I had other attorneys tell me that they'd be happy to get what ethan was u satisfied with given the facts. So, we prepared the lawsuit, began interviewing employees and were about to set up appointments with a newspaper and industry journal, when the company decided to meet our demands in full. We settled for exactly what I wanted. It was what ethan thought the case was worth and it turns out that he was right. A quick note about expectations: He cares a lot about setting expectations to make sure his clients are happy with the end result. If you're expectations are askew and he can't counsel you otherwise, he'll likely decline representation and give you the names of other good lawyers. It's not because he doesn't believe in you. Rather, he wants to make sure you're happy and satisfied. He knows what he can deliver or what a court should deliver if it goes there. I had some unreasonable expectations in the beginning (you always hear about the million dollar awards and I thought my case could get me that). There was no rhyme or reason to why I thought that. I just did. Ethan explained the law, how damages are calculated and for what damages can be awarded for. I trusted him, reset my ideas, and dug in for a long fight. Happily, it wasn't a long fight. I just want the world to know that I have found the best attorney around! I feel safe, and secure with Mr. Zelizer. I would highly recommend him to handle your Employment case. I don't usually get on these kind of sites, however, this was an extraordinary experience. Ethan is the attorney you want in your corner.

After being terminated from my employer when trying to return back to work after a disability I felt lost and didn't even know the right people to call nor the steps I needed to take. Many lawyers rejected my case but Etham Zelizer was very empathetic and took the time to listen to me and took on my ...case. He was always available when I had any questions and always kept me posted on what was going on. He worked with the EEOC and managed to have me reinstated in about two months and a half, and still followed up with me to see how things were even after his job was done. He is a great labor lawyer and I highly recommend him to everyone.

Mr. Ethan Zelizer represented me with the utmost integrity. I was challenged by my former employer and told I could not work at my new employer. Ethan immediately contacted my new employer and coordinated a defense strategy. He always kept me informed during the whole process. He is very patient an...d diligent in all he does. He will explain it to you in layman's terms so you feel like you are in control and are making the decisions and he will guide you through the process. I got the results that I wanted and was very thankful. Thank you again Mr. Zelizer.
