my attorney review

Posted by

Eric Panitz helped me through my employment related case. He reviewed my case, then accepted it. He helped me prepare for every occurrence that might be possible, such as preparation for depositions, mediation, and trial. He prepared me for what to expect in any given situation that might occur. He made very clear what his expectations were of me and my case so I always knew where I stood. He was helpful and knowledgeable. I would certainly recommend him and use his services again if I needed them.

I strongly endorse this lawyer. Eric is an excellent attorney who gets amazing results for his clients.

John Alexander, Employment and labor Attorney on Jan 16, 2018
Relationship: Worked together on matter

I endorse this lawyer. I have co-counseled with Eric on several matters, one of which went to a successful 8 figure jury verdict. Eric is selective in the cases he accepts for litigation and excellent at positioning them for resolution, either through settlement or trial. If Eric accepts your case, you are in good hands.

Craig Byrnes, Employment and labor Attorney on Dec 18, 2017
Relationship: Worked together on matter

I endorse this lawyer. Mr. Panitz and I have worked together on a number of matters. He is an exceptional attorney who gets the best results for his clients. You would be in great hands with Mr. Panitz as your attorney.

Jeffrey Sklan, Employment and labor Attorney on Aug 25, 2015
Relationship: Worked together on matter

I strongly endorse Eric Panitz. He is skilled, focused, and unrelenting in getting what the law allows for his clientele. I frequently consult with him on labor law issues. Mr. Panitz is a trusted peer.
