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!

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

A True Champion

James Urbanic handled my Wrongful Termination suit. He was very clear in all his communications, available to me at every turn. He listened without judgment and he counseled without making me feel stupid or inferior. James called things as he saw them and explained why he saw them the way he did. He ...made me feel like he was truly on my side and committed to getting the best resolution possible. James was prepared to go to trial and he walked me through the entire process to ensure I understood every aspect of the case. In the end, we didn’t go to trial because James was better prepared, had the better understanding of employment law, and exuded a confidence in the facts that caused opposing counsel considerable concern. I am eternally grateful to James because he helped me heal emotionally and he helped secure my future. He is one of the few people I thank daily, in my thoughts, for being there for me when I needed a champion.
