Employment contract law dispute

Mauro is extremely knowledgeable in employment contract law. He made me feel at ease with a situation where I did not perform appropriate due diligence before signing a contract related to 1099 work. Mauro presented all angles of how to move forward and thoroughly discussed the pros and cons of each.... At the end, he was able to ensure that I had an extremely fair outcome while still allowing some future options in the written rebuttal he provided. I would highly recommend Mauro if you have any type of employment contract issues that need legal counsel. It's better to be safe than sorry. If I had known Mauro before signing this contract, I likely never would have been in this situation to begin with.

You have found the lawyer you are looking for!

It's hard to put into words how helpful and reassuring it was to work with Mr. Ramirez. I wound up in a tricky situation with the company I work for owing me a large amount of back pay, being potentially stuck in a strict non-compete work contract, and not sure of what to do if the company went under... or if I needed to work somewhere else. Mr. Ramirez generously gave a great deal of his time to consult me of my options, listen to all of the details about my situation (in-depth), as well as listen to what I was hoping to fix about the situation. He then walked me through a reasonable approach to dealing with the company, addressing all of my concerns along the way. It can be little unnerving when you do something like this for the first time, not knowing how to find trustworthy legal counsel, nor how expensive it could be. Let me assure you, with Mr. Ramirez, neither of those will be a concern. After his extensive consultation, he presented an honest, fair, and very agreeable letter of engagement. For each aspect I sought his counsel on, he was mindful of what it was worth to me to address it. He explained his process of working through it and helped me estimate what the work would cost. He offered a fair rate, fast responses and work, and provided me with beyond exceptional counsel. If you are needing employment and labor legal help, Mauro is the lawyer to have!

Severance Review

Mauro was incredibly helpful in reviewing my severance agreement. They were clear, efficient, and provided practical advice that made a stressful situation much easier to navigate. I highly recommend them for anyone dealing with employment matters.

Separation agreement review

Mauro was quick to respond. I sent him my agreement to review on Friday evening, and he got back to me right away. The following week, we had a 30-minute call during which he thoroughly explained all the details of the agreement. He was polite, professional, and patient, taking the time to clarify ev...erything I was unsure about. I truly appreciate his willingness to provide clear explanations.

Prompt, responsive and professional attorney

I engaged Mauro for the review and redline of a separation agreement from my former employer. From my first interaction to the last, he was prompt and thorough with his responses both via email and phone. He understood I had a very tight time frame and acted accordingly. When I had questions, h...e took my concerns seriously, listened well and made the appropriate redlines to the contract. He understood the sensitive nature of the separation and was kind throughout the process. Additionally, he carefully explained his billing process and the total was very fair for the work. Overall, I recommend him highly if you are in need of an employment attorney.
