Outstanding employment lawyer

My former co-workers and I reached out to Justin about an issue we had with one of our former employers regarding a very sensitive subject. Justin was extremely helpful and confirmed our employer was in the wrong. We were grateful to have a helpful and knowledgeable attorney like Justin on my side.

Employment consult

After getting in touch with Justin for a brief consultation I knew I made the right decision and I would be in good hands. He’s extremely knowledgeable and leaves no stone unturned.

Best Employment Lawyer!

I couldn't have asked for a better lawyer than Justin. He helped me throughout the whole process and answered everyone question as thoroughly as possibly. Him and his team were there every step of the way. I couldn't have imagined a better outcome. Thank you!!

Highly Recommended

I called Mr. Hanassab on a contractual dispute with a former employer that could have easily turned into costly and time-consuming litigation. He helped me get compensation that I was owed in a timely manner and was incredibly responsive to my questions. His negotiating tenacity and attention to deta...il were exactly what you want in your employment lawyer. I strongly recommend Justin to anyone who has to face off with an obnoxious company.

"I endorse this lawyer. Mr. Hanassab showed me the difference between an attorney who fishes for clients and an attorney who is a shark and fights until the end of you. I worked on an employment matter with Justin and I got a firsthand experience of what it was like to learn from one of the best in the industry. I have referred over 100 cases to Mr. Hanassab and every one of those clients have realized one thing: Mr. Hanassab is a SHARK who is sharp and focused and will go to full lengths to ensure that his clients are well compensated and well taken care of. I am truly honored to have learned from Mr. Hanassab."

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
