The Best of the Best

I hired Mr. Urbanic and his team for a wrongful termination/sexual harassment issue and I am able to now enjoy the fruits of his labor. I was able to trust Mr. Urbanic and his team throughout the process and I always felt that I was in good hands. Mr. Urbanic was always willing to take time to speak ...to me and explain the stages of the lawsuit which put me at ease. The attention that Mr. Urbanic and his team gave to even the most miniscule of details left me impressed. Mr. Urbanic was able to tear the opposing side's defense piece by piece, it was truly incredible to watch. Mr. Urbanic is tough and fearless against his opponents, he's everything I imagined a highly-skilled and seasoned attorney would be and much more!

James Urbanic and Associates are truly the best!

I’m writing this, 1 year after my lawsuit, and I’m still in awe of what James was able to accomplish for me. I’m beyond satisfied with the end result to my case, and I want to commend James for his dedication to me and to my case and for everything he was able to do for me. I can say with honesty tha...t I’m not sure where I would be if it were not for him and his team. From the very start of our case, I witnessed James and his team fight for me from beginning to end and I will never, ever forget that. I highly recommend James Urbanic to anybody who is looking for an outstandingly talented lawyer.

My Knight in Shining Armour - James Urbanic

I was so beaten down and depressed from the complex wrongful termination from my work, that it was difficult for me to explain to James what happened to me. But I knew strongly in my heart that it was wrong the way that I was treated by my place of work. So with James kindness and patience, exper...ience, and being knowledgeable and an expert in his field, I felt like I could relax, and that I was safe and protected because I was in good hands, and I could trust him explicitly. My case was very complex and James and his Team were experts with gathering and organizing my information. James explained things clearly to me and I was well prepared for my depositions. He was always available. In his depositions of the defendants, he was able to uncover the discriminating information that helped us favorably. It was awesome and reassuring to see how well respected James is in his field. Seeing how well respected he is helped me realize I had definitely made the right choice. But it is just one of the ways. James is so smart and perceptive and is really the Best at what he does!! I will forever be grateful to James for his caring and expert work. I feel very blessed to have had him for my attorney and I will highly recommend him to others that want the BEST help with Employment Law cases. Very Sincerely Grateful Client

James Urbanic, the conqueror!

I can't give too many details that pertain to my case, but when I saw that this page was up, I felt compelled to give my account of my time with James as my lawyer for my lawsuit. During my initial consultation with James, I immediately noticed that James was able to find solutions to any potential i...ssues with my case, which is something that I noticed that other lawyers who I had spoken to couldn't do or were too lazy to do. James is realistic with his cases and his clients, but he is also just absolutely amazing at being able to circumvent any hiccups or issues that might arise. I was constantly amazed to see James do what he was able to do. One last thing that I want to mention...the opposing side was constantly removing and replacing its lawyers throughout my case. You can come up with your own conclusion as to why this would happen. I'm extremely glad that I chose James to be my lawyer and I would honestly recommend him in a heartbeat.

Urbanic and associates highly recommend

James Urbanic was knowledgeable, aggressive and strong minded. He worked diligently along with great resources to achieve the best results, which is needed in any legal battle. James was very clear and thorough explaining the legal process. My case was well prepared to go to trial. This gave me co...nfidence and strength for my case, I was nervous and uncertain at first. Fast forward the opponent settled and in the end I could never have imagined the great results that occurred. Urbanic and associates would be my first choice and recommendation for anyone who has to experience a lawsuit. Sincerely L C
