Ethan G. Zelizer

Ethan is an exceptional advisor and legal strategist, and he is an amazing negotiator. He clearly knows what he is doing and is a capable attorney. He is honest and straightforward and easy to work with. Ethan developed a full understanding of my case and built a strong argument based on his deep kno...wledge of the law. He kept me informed and stood by my side throughout the whole process. Even though my case was a smaller one, it was important to him and he was a forceful advocate. He wanted to do what was best for me. I would like to thank Ethan for taking my case, and say it is my great pleasure to recommend Ethan very highly and without any reservation.

I consulted with Ethan seeking advice to handle pregnancy discrimination in my place of work. I was feeling defeated and I wanted to make sure I was represented by someone that I trusted. I immediately felt comfortable with him. He's to the point. He gave me the time I needed to explain the entire s...ituation without feeling rushed. Action took place before I left our meeting; he took the legal steps to make sure I was protected. After a week of him working with their lawyer, we settled. It was more than I was asking for. I can't say enough about how attentive, professional and kind he has been throughout this entire settlement. I have had to reach out to him a few times to ask questions and resolve a few minor hiccups the came about (all because of the company I was employed at). Ethan was prompt and was able to get me what I needed. I would recommend him to friends and family. It's not everyday you come across an attorney where you fully believe in his ability to get the job done. He has exceeded my expectations. Thank you Ethan!

Ethan is a special type of attorney -- caring, honest and willing to help you even if it means losing a contingency fee. He cares about what's best for you, not the money you represent. Don't get me wrong, Ethan charges for his consultations like all good attorneys do. Their time is very valuable. Th...e nice thing about ethan is if he can help you quickly and efficiently, he will. We met for an hour at his Chicago office. I'm having issues with my current employer and wanted to file a charge and lawsuit. Ethan talked me through the law and showed me that I needed to work with corporate HR and give them a chance to fix things. He helped draft an email to the HR department and then game planned how the next few weeks would likely go -- down to who would likely interview me and what I should be expected to say. He was right on everything and I was prepared and felt confident. At the end of the consult, Ethan had convinced me to wait on filing anything and to work with my employer. He offered his email, text and cell if I ran into any issues. He was happy to represent me if needed but he was hopeful that wouldn't be the case. He was right. Things are better. I needed somebody to help me through this and direct me. Ethan was the right man for the job. Honest and no nonsense. Several other attorneys were happy to charge me an hourly rate or sign me up on a retainer and contingency and make it confrontational from the start. In the end, Ethan knew that wasn't best for me and although it wasn't the most lucrative case for him (he only charged the consult fee -- that's it), he treated me like a client and gave me his full attention. I hope I don't need an employment attorney in the future -- but if I do -- it will be Ethan Zelizer that I hire. If only the rest of the attorneys out there were as fair and kind as him.

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.

Ethan has to be the best lawyer around. I was working for well known company Chicago for almost 8 years. On my return back to work after a medical leave for 4 months I found out I was pregnant. I let the job know what happened sent in the necessary paperwork the day before I was suppose to start I wa...s terminated. I knew then that I need it help to fight my case! I was on the internet praying for a lead on a lawyer. Then I can't across Ethan name with all these amazing reviews and how he helped people in there time of trouble. I knew I needed the best lawyer to fight on my behalf when it came to this company. So I called Ethan and he explain my case he let me know what he could do. And it was all history after that. It's like Ethan handled my case with one arm fighting behind his back in a outstanding amount of time. It's an amazing thing when you can sit back an not worry about the outcome of the situation because you're in great hands. Ethan I want to thank you for your time! You deserve and award! I wish well in all your success.
