Benjamin E Wick

When I was searching for a local federal employment attorney for my discrimination case, I was referred to Benjamin Wick by another attorney. I found that it was the best referral ever! He not only brought highly professional representation to my case, but ensured my employer did the right thing when... they otherwise would have in caused irreparable harm to my long and distinguished career in the federal government. His legal counsel negotiated a settlement agreement with my agency that was unheard of the informal process and saved my career. His negotiations also gave me a platform for me to be heard by my employers and enabled me to protect my reputation and keep adverse actions out of my permanent employee record. I have no doubt that I would not have been able to get the fairness I am entitled to nor would I have fully understood rights as an employee without Benjamin and his staff in my corner. He made a difference and I will be forever grateful to him and his remarkable team for everything they did for me. Benjamin Wick is highly recommended for anyone who needs the very BEST in federal and private sector employment law representation. He would be the first I'd call.

When I realized my employer was attempting to force me to do something unethical, I called Ben immediately. He helped me develop a strategy for the final days of my employment to ensure I took all necessary steps to fulfill my professional obligations. This was so important to me, not only to prote...ct myself professionally but also to save my sanity during the subsequent wrongful termination. In less than a month, Ben helped me negotiate a settlement five times that of the original severance offer. He also insisted the wording of the settlement agreement be changed in my favor to protect my future employment prospects. I was so relieved to avoid a protracted court battle. Ben is responsive, thorough, tenacious, and kind. I am so glad I had him on my side.

Ben was terrific. He took the time to understand every detail of my complaint. As my case proceeded, Ben steadfastly supported me. His persistence and timeliness in requesting information/discovery was met with resistance and at times hostility from my former employer. There were constant requests f...or extensions of time to submit information/discovery. There were constant references that information/discovery had been lost or destroyed or did not exist. However, Ben was not deterred and promptly filed motions for compliance. At no time did Ben waiver in his representation of me. Because of the resistance and non-compliance from my former employer, my case was lengthy. I hired Ben 18 months after I filed my EEO complaint and it was another 24 months before my complaint was settled. During this time, Ben kept me updated on every detail of my case. In the end, I was happy with the outcome of my complaint and the monetary award I received. Ben’s persistence and diligence throughout my case sent a message to my former employer their tactics and behavior violated my rights. I cannot express sufficiently my thanks to Ben for clearly getting this message across. I would recommend Ben to anyone.

I had never found myself in a situation where I needed an employment attorney before hiring Ben Wick, and f I ever find myself needing one again I will not hesitate to call Ben Wick. I would not ask around about other attorneys, I seriously would just call The Wick Law office. He and his team are s...mart, kind, thoughtful, and on their game. If I could give 6 stars (rather than the 5 possible in this review) I would. He and his team made this whole experience much less painful than I imagined it would be. Sincere thanks for your help, Ben. I really appreciate it. You're great at what you do, and you're really helping people out.

I found Ben after consulting with 2 other employment lawyers that said they couldn't help me with my wage claim case. Ben recognized immediately that my employer was in the wrong and I was due compensation. My employer settled for what I asked for AND paid my legal fees. Ben is smart, well-spoken... and savvy. He's very easy to talk to, he's responsive and he doesn't nickel and dime you for his time. Very fair and trustworthy when it comes to billing. I highly recommend him to anyone needing help with unpaid wages; including commissions and bonuses.
