Ethan G. Zelizer

I hired Ethan after being terminated from my position last Fall. I believed that I suffered sex discrimination. However, I wasn't sure. Ethan explained the law to me and worked with me to approach my former employer, We were ready to litigate. However, Ethan was able to secure a terrific settlem...ent for me -- more than I originally had hoped for. Bets of all, Ethan cares about his clients. He was never too busy to walk me through a situation and explain the dynamics. He even reviewed my resume and provided me tips for interviews. I highly recommend Ethan and wouldn't hesitate to call on him for anything relating to employment law.

From the moment I first spoke with Ethan he made me know I had a voice. Ethan explained everything and made sure I understood and was comfortable every step of the way. He is extremely knowledgeable in his profession and kept me in the loop about my case. When I had a question he was always quick to ...respond with an answer. I HIGHLY recommend this lawyer, and I will be referring any friends and/or family to him in the future. My situation was very stressful and I needed results fast as the well being of my family depended on it. I felt pretty hopeless until I spoke with him, and after meeting with him to discuss my case my nerves were immediately calmed. If you need a lawyer who is professional, attentive, thorough, understanding, compassionate and capable of getting the results you need... Ethan is definitely that lawyer. Cannot say enough good things about him. I thank him a million times over for helping me get through a really hard time!

Ethan helped me through my separation with my former employer, a Fortune 50 company. Initially, I was intimidated and didn't feel that I had many options to negotiate with them, but reached out to Ethan for a consultation. After speaking with Ethan, several positive things happened... 1) I was able... to realize that I had valid complaint/issue 2) the negotiation process was taken care of by him and 3) I was able to take control of a situation that had been previously controlled by my former employer. Most importantly, Ethan was very responsive, knowledgeable, and empathetic. This was a particularly stressful time for me, and he was patient throughout the entire process. I highly recommend his services!

Ethan was referred to me from another attorney to assist with a severance and executive compensation issue I had with my previous employer. Not only did he maximize my severance and bonus, he also assisted with some post-employment non-compete obligations that I did not realize were in the Agreement.... He was available day and night and was always happy to talk and answer my questions-- no matter how small.

Ethan helped me update The Peggy Notebaert Nature Museum employment handbook -- a task I was not up to doing myself. I had no idea just how many laws had changes in the last ten years and what the "best practices" were for handbooks. Needless to say, the Museum greatly appreciated Ethan's willingne...ss to assist us with this pro bono project. Beyond that, Ethan always offers sound advice on employment matters and is available when we need him -- even though the work is always pro bono.
