Abe Melamed

I consulted Mr. Melamed about a potential case and he was so well spoken, intelligent, kind and caring. He went above and beyond to help me feel comfortable, safe, and validated. He made sure I understood exactly what pursuing legal action would entail. He was very thorough and I felt confident I wou...ld be in good hands. I’m not able to pursue legal action at this time, but if I did, I would want Mr. Melamed in my corner.

Among a few dozen attorneys that we contacted in regards to my U.S. immigrant employment discrimination case, Abe Melamed was the most knowledgeable, from our first phone conversation. We are based in NYC, and due to specifics of my case, we were glad to find local NYC representation, also authorized... to practice in California. Abe exceeded our expectations by his level of knowledge in our rare case, following through the matter for 6 months till the end, quick turnaround, thorough lucid explanations, and personal commitment to the case. Our matter with a major U.S. corporation progressed substantially after engaging Abe in the official correspondence. We did not even hope to to get this far. The response we received with his help was a game-changer in our understanding of the case, and crucial in subsequent decision-making. We are pleased with the outcome and Abe’s professional support helped us make the best legal choice. I would definitely recommend Abe’s services, and will be glad to hire legal representation with him again.

I am very pleased with Derek Smith Law Group. Abe Melamed who was assigned my case was very professional and diligent in getting me the results I deserved, as he is very knowledgeable in his area of expertise. Although it was a contingency case, the respect and time I was provided was no different.... Abe took my case seriously and did the very best for me. It was great to feel so supported.

Intelligent, knowledgeable, professional, prepared, experienced, aggressive, compassionate, accessible… Those are the words that come to mind when I think of my experience with the Derrick Smith Law Group. My attorney, Abe, in particular was an absolute pleasure to work with having all the attributes... listed earlier in abundance. Abe and the Derrick Smith Law Group represented me in a way that exceeded my expectations with favorable results. I would highly recommend Abe and the Derrick Smith Law group to anyone facing an employer related issue.
