Ethan G. Zelizer

I've been going through a legal discrimination matter with an employer and Mr. Zelizer gave me advice, guidance, words of encouragement and the will to fight throughout my case. Zelizer is very knowledgeable concerning employment law matters and legalities. He is also very polite, bears a warm demea...nor, and actually listens to what you say. He takes in the all the details to fully understand the situation and without him, I personally would've been lost in my case.

Ethan is who you want in your corner. Ethan and everyone at the HR LAW COUNSEL law firm, were my sword and shield. I hope they can be yours. I couldn’t have asked for a more qualified or caring team. We prevailed. I got justice and am healing. They have empowered me and let me know that it’s ok to... use my voice and be heard. We started as a team and ended up as a family. I cannot express enough how Ethan has helped me. Truly, I appreciate all he has done and gone through for me. Ethan, as a whole, was very empathetic and concerned about how I was treated at my previous place of employment. I should tell you that it was a large global company. I was a highly-paid executive. Ethan not only stood for me but helped me stand up to them. I was at a very low point in my life, I wasn’t sure what I needed in an attorney or what would happen. All I did know was that I had been grossly mistreated by this employer and that it should not have happened to me or anyone. As a Senior Vice President of 15 years at the company, I was passed over for promotion and a large bonus in favor of a much younger man with barely a year of experience. He ended up making $100,000 more than me after this was all said and done. I complained directly to our CEO. I was told it would be handled. I was fired the next month. I needed help. Ethan and the team did help me. We had many long hard conversations, revisited many bad situations and worked together through the whole process. While hard, these heartfelt conversations were probably the biggest thing in helping me heal and find peace. We literally went through the entire process together. Communication was always straightforward and honest on both ends. This is what is needed so that they can make the best case possible. Each step of the way was explained to me. The process and possibility of how things could go, were given to me. From there we made the informed decision about the next move. I was never forced to do anything or asked to compromise. We worked together. I put my faith in Ethan and the entire team. We were the team. They know why they are there. They know that they will have to take on some very big opponents. They have integrity. They have a strong work ethic. They are experienced and confident. They believe in what they do. Most of all, they believe in justice. It is for these reasons that I am happy to have met them all, and that I recommend them to you. Ethan and his team exceeded any and every expectation I could have had. While this is not by any means an enjoyable process, it was a satisfying experience. I am truly grateful for the knowledge and expertise they spent on my behalf. My experience with Ethan and the team started during the COVID lockdown and continued after. We were all in uncharted waters as far as how to conduct business. Ethan made it work seamlessly and it did work. We won our arbitration and the results were more than I could have hoped for -- both from a damages perspective but also from a genuine feeling of resolution and justice perspective. Just superb.

Ethan was professional, responsive, and understanding of my legal issues. Ethan resolved my issues promptly and efficiently, which I very much appreciated. Being a lawyer myself, I understand how important it is to find a lawyer who has both fantastic legal skills and empathy- Ethan has both. Etha...n connects with his clients because he truly cares about helping them through their legal issues. I would recommend Ethan to anyone with an employment law issue. Ethan went above and beyond by also giving me tips and offering to help in any way possible with starting my new law firm!

Ethan is in a word fantastic. I was senior administrator at a non-profit organization and was referred to him as I began settlement negotiations in a wrongful termination dispute with my employer. He came highly recommended for his legal acumen and ability to work effectively with clients who have ...founded themselves thrust into a crisis and are vulnerable. Ethan is 'holistic' practitioner, taking care of both your legal needs while being attentive to the emotional challenges attendant to negotiating a termination settlement. I found that he exceeded the recommendations I'd read and heard in referral. Ethan took the time to get to know me, to understand the nuances of my history with this employer and to incorporate this information into a comprehensive settlement strategy. He encouraged me to be an active collaborator as we worked together to craft our strategy to achieve a reasonable settlement. Throughout this process he demonstrated broad knowledge of labor and employment law, and skill as committed forceful advocate. Ethan anticipated where we would encounter resistance to our proposals, and responded with effective arguments highlighting the strengths of our case. He was objective about the challenges we faced, but reassuring in his confidence that the strategy we had developed would prove to be successful, which it was. Ethan has stayed in touch and continues to offer thoughtful advice about the details of employment transition. His advice is always objective and strategic in its assessment of long and short term objectives. He helped my family and me work through a difficult situation. I have come value his advice and recommend him without hesitation.

I met with Ethan when i was being bashed by my employer for not only being gay, but also being disabled. Ethan was kind & compassionate from day one. I had spoke to a few lawyers prior, and they all made me feel like there was no hope. Not only did Ethan give me hope, he went after my employer for al...l of the horrible things that violated my rights as a disabled employee, and as a gay man. Ethan also got the EEOC to investigate my claim & got the EEOC to litigate with him to the point of a settlement that I am very happy with. I was never treated like a "client" but more like a member of the family! Ethan is truly in this field to help and you will most certainly be cheating yourself if you hire anyone else. I couldnt be happier with all his effort, and am extremely thankful we crossed paths.
