excellent attorney

Todd was extremely thorough and patient explaining all the nuances of my case and negotiated it to timely resolution. He always took time to answer all my questions and was great about exploring different possible scenarios. Very personable and easy to talk to, I would highly recommend him to anyon...e needing an employment attorney.

Director of Sales & Marketing

I was recently let go from my position after 15 years with the company I worked for. I am a 72 year old female with over 30 successful years of experience in my career. I was shocked when this happened to me. A friend of mine recommended Todd to me. She knew I needed someone to stand up for me & ...make sure I received what I deserved. Todd stood beside me , giving me wise counsel and fighting my legal battle for me. As a single senior female , I had no idea how to stand up for myself -- Todd stood for me. He fought for me to receive what I deserved and he walked beside me , encouraging me through out my ordeal. I am ever grateful for his compassion , his wisdom & his willingness to fight my battle even though his financial benefit would be minimal . Todd gave me good advice and was honest and fair in his fee. If you find yourself in an unfair situation with an employer I would highly encourage you to contact Todd Slobin to fight your legal battle for you

Excellence

Todd Slobin is a jewel in the legal realm. He was attentive to my concerns, kept me fully informed and treated me with the upmost respect throughout the process. I felt secure and knew I was in fantastic hands. He was realistic with end goals and delivered beyond expectations.

"It's hard to be humble, when you're as great as I am." -Muhammad Ali-

Shellist | Lazarz | Slobin LLP represented myself and four other coworkers in an employment law related matter that began late in 2015. I can not speak highly enough about Mr. Slobin, Daryl Sinkule, and their assistant Andrea Willingham. Mr. Sinkukle was assigned our case very early on. He did a ...phenomenal job throughout the entirety of the two years our case sifted its way through the federal courts. Todd picked up our case very late in the game. In fact, I met him the day before our trial was scheduled to begin. What you need to know about Todd is that his skills compliment the jury setting quite well. The moment Voir Dire began you could tell all potential jurors liked him, the judge liked him, and opposing counsel hated themselves because they couldn't help but like him. The highlight of our three day federal court affair was watching Todd cross a high level executive. For context, the gentleman was known within our company as being a "cleaner." Someone who could be brought in when opinions needed to be swayed. After 3 hours on the stand, and some very clever questioning from our attorney, the executive walked away with a thousand mile stare...and we walked away with a verdict in our favor. Both men are impressive. I would highly recommend either of them. However, I feel a more grounded description would be that they both genuinely care andcases. invest themselves emotio

Charles' Review of Daryl Sinkule and Todd Slovin

I had the good fortune of being represented by Daryl Sinkule in a class action suit of 5 coworkers including myself. I had no idea whether we had a chance for a favorable verdict or not. I felt early on it was a coin-toss but Daryl educated us not only in the violations against us, but that he was wi...lling to pursue the endeavor - simply in the name of justice. Who still does that? At the time of this writing I have no idea of any monetary awards to me. I only know that justice was served and I have peace from it. Todd was brought in to assist with the trial portion of the liability lawsuit against our previous employer who had miss-classified the appropriate employees as exempt vs non-exempt. Even though the suit had gone on for at least two years, Todd did not rest to uncover evidence - right up until late the night prior to the trials beginning. This paid off, and new evidence was admitted and contributed greatly to the verdict outcome. His coaching approach with plaintiffs, who have never been exposed to the experience of testifying, was confidence-building and prepared us for for what was to come. His timing during the final cross-examinations was spot-on with finesse & poise during the orchestration of his questioning. One of the most encouraging experiences of the trial was the syncopation between Daryl and Todd. Daryl did what he does best, Todd what he does best. Collaboration defined. Kindling trust past the point of just a business relationship has left me grateful, hopeful and empowered - that, not only can I stand up for myself, but that there are others who will stand up beside me.

  • 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.
