Martin A. Shellist

I would recommend Martin Shellist for any labor related issues. He is extremely knowledgeable and will give you the best recommendation on how to resolve your case in the quickest and most efficient way. He works with tremendous care and really considers his clients circumstances. He knows how to get... things done. Anybody who has dealt with legal issues understands that that quality is one of the most important, because nobody wants to be entangled longer then necessary! If you are looking for somebody who knows the law, is brilliant, cares about his clients, and gets the job done, Martin Shellist is the attorney for you.

I was fortunate to work with Marty Shellist as my lawyer who represented me against a Fortune 500; Disability Discrimination claim. Mr. Shellist personally interviewed me to assess the viability of my claim. Quickly after validating the facts and carefully listening to my concerns, Marty and his team... devised and executed an offense that caused the "global icon" company to agree to mediate and render a settlement larger than I thought possible. This all happened in less than six weeks! What impressed me even more was the great advice Marty gave me. I was blessed to have substantially recovered from the disability by the time the case developed. I had also told Marty I thought I could secure an equal or better job immediately. Marty told me that I could extend the claim into a trial that could take years and I would likely be awarded much, much more money. He said he would represent me and move forward with whatever I decided. But Marty encouraged me to take a quick substantial settlement instead of committing years to something that could pay much more to both he and I if I filed suit. He encouraged me to live my life and move forward instead of dwelling in the past. I did and think that was great advice. Marty Shellist is a great lawyer and a good, pragmatic man who genuinely cares about what's best for his clients.

When legal representation is required, Marty is remarkably adept at getting up to speed on key issues and acting expeditiously. His communications with my husband and me were thorough, timely AND he was outstanding at processing our feelings as well as the facts related to our case. We have the utm...ost respect and admiration for Marty and could not recommend anyone who would work harder or in a more trustworthy fashion than he did. Marty's representation achieved the outcome we were seeking, and again, did so in a highly competent and professional manner. We will always be grateful for his commitment to our cause and for his warmth and support throughout a very difficult period in our lives.

Mr. Shellist handled my sexual harassment case in September 2011 and within an extremely short period of time he had a mediation date set. The case was completed and closed several months after mediation. I couldn't have asked for a better attorney. Mr. Shellist is an expert in his field and he work...ed diligently on my behalf. He kept me informed on a regular basis which was great because I never had to wonder what was happening with my case. My case involved sensitive information which was not always easy to talk about but he always made me feel comfortable. Having Marty as my attorney definitely helped me make it through this ordeal. He is a compassionate person who looked out for my best interests and he succeeded in helping me. I am now able to put that part of my life behind me and move forward thanks to all his hard work. I would recommend Marty to anyone seeking legal counsel for help with any type of employment issue.

Martin Shellist is an awesome attorney. He did an extraordinary job during my case. Martin, along with his firm, took on my case as if the ordeal had happened to them. I would definitely use his services again, and I would highly recommend him. Mr. Shellist is like an American Express Card, don't wal...k into court without him! Professional from start to finish! 100% commitment to Justice!
