Martin A. Shellist

Martin Shellist is an absolutely brilliant lawyer in many levels. I had been involved in lengthy and drawn out lawsuit that looked like it would never end and was financially debilitating and caused enormous levels of stress. After over two years, we brought Marty in and within a matter of weeks the ...suit was wrapped up. He looks at things from every angle. He does not allow manipulation and will call out whomever needs to be called out. He knows the law and how it works. He addresses issues through various angles, so that strategies are in place and issues are handled and not dragged out. I trust his guidance, knowledge, insight and intuition completely. I highly, highly recommend him.

I hired Martin to settle a rather complicated divorce from my previous company. Like any divorce, there were issues that needed to be negotiated. Martin was on top of it all. He was super sharp and most importantly took the time to understand all the issues, the players and the priorities. He set the... gameplan and executed it so well. Martin is a great lawyer but he's also trustworthy, responsive and really kind. I've met a lot of lawyers and it's not easy to find this combination. When it comes to employment law, he is simply the best.

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.
