Michael Zoldan

I am not one to write testimonials often, as I believe when you hire someone to provide any kind of professional service, you are entitled to good work. However, my success and experience with Michael Zoldan and his legal team was simply above and beyond, and deserves a testimonial. My situation in...volved a dispute about my role and performance in senior leadership function, with my employer, , , entailing hostile workplace, bias, and retaliation. Michael Zoldan and his team represented me during a formal process to demand action, and then assisted me with EEOC mediation proceedings. Thanks to his guidance and expertise, we were able to secure a sizable monetary settlement, mutually agreeable separation, and several favorable non-cash protections and performances to aid with subsequent job search activity. His fees were more than reasonable. More important than the settlement outcome though, is the manner and experience I had with Mr. Zoldan and his team. Beginning with the initial assessment, I was asked thoughtful questions and provided with a “could be” scenario that would develop as different steps were pursued. All of Michael Zoldan’s “could be” steps became reality, in the manner and order he predicted. This uncanny accuracy is a testament to his experience. Personally, I was treated with respect and professional empathy—but never pity and never as a means to pursue a ridiculous fee or unreasonable settlement. In other words Mr. Zoldan and his team truly became my advocate. His candor and compassion kept conversations honest, expectations realistic, and execution of steps in the process as smooth as they could be. His involvement clearly improved both the speed at which my case was resolved, the amount and nature of the settlement, and most importantly the manner in which I was treated. I encourage and implore those of you having issues with your employer, who have tried “proper channels” with no success, to engage the services of Michael Zoldan and his team. For a truly reasonable fee, you will be made financially whole, emotionally comforted, professionally vindicated, and able to move ahead with the rest of your professional life happily and easily. Thank you Mr. Zoldan and Team for what I call my "triple goodness" outcome.

I found Michael during a difficult severance negotiation with my former employer. My previous employer was a fortune 500 ($10B + annual revenue) that had an army of attorneys. Michael was professional, timely, and honest in laying out my options with the appropriate level of risk so I could make my... decision on the path forward armed with as much guidance as possible. In the end, the negotiation went strikingly similar to what Michael expected. If you're in need of a great, honest, and transparent labor attorney then Michael Zoldan and "The Zoldan Law Group" is your best bet! The end result is I paid Michael a fee and he negotiated a settlement increase that far exceeded his well priced and well delivered legal services.

My experience with Zoldan Law Group was utterly ridiculous. First, I received a call back from someone that was very snotty to me on the phone and I firmly believe she hung up on me half-way through describing my case. Second, for some reason I was not able to call her back and she did not call me ba...ck. So I googled Zoldan Law Group and quite possibly 20 locations appeared all over Phoenix/Scottsdale. I went to the pinnacle peak location - the office was not there. I went to the Northsight location - the office was not there. I was told that it was at the Northsight location, but in a different office in the corner of the building. Third, when I found the office, finally, I was greeted by a disinterested, dismissive, and rude office assistant. Something tells me she was the same one I spoke with on the phone. Lastly, when I spoke with her to try and schedule an appointment to discuss my case, I was told it would be $300 TO $350 JUST TO SEE IF THEY WOULD TAKE THE CASE. This law group wants $300 to $350 just to possibly tell you 'no - they won't take your case'. That is ridiculous! I wasn't going for a consultation or legal advice. I have a legitimate discrimination claim and need a lawyer. To pay $350 to be told 'no' is an EXPENSIVE 'no'. Good lord. He could literally just schedule appointments all day telling people 'no' and never have to work a day in his life.
