Javier is a good lawyer. Very Professional and he will help you win your case. In my experienced we were dealing with a very bad family-owned company who are very bad and doesn't follow rules. And they were good manipulating other employees and covering up paper works and Javier did not stop until they get to settled with us. It was a rough case but he was great handling it. I would definitely recommend him to anyone who needs his help.

Mr. Rivera-Carbone was recommended to me for a question I had regarding a non-disclosure agreement. He listened carefully to my concerns; he immediately grasped the risk I was worried about; and he gave knowledgeable, insightful, sound advice. He patiently answered all of my questions, and I was reassured after speaking with him. I would absolutely recommend him.

I spoke with Mr. Carbone regarding questions and a consultation I had for my potential employment case. I genuinely wanted to see if I even had a case to move forward with. Instead of ridiculing me, he offered me sound advice and provided guidance. I don't see that much from lawyers now a days. He even informed me that hiring an attorney wouldn't be a financially sound idea, and instead offered me options and different routes to take my case. If I ever do need to hire an attorney for employment violations, he would be the first one I'd go to.

I had some legal concerns regarding my former employer. I had worked with Javier about seven years ago, and, again, a couple of months ago. He was responsive, kind, and fully engaged in my concerns. He is an excellent listener and provided me with options available. He was well-informed about all of the players involved and understood the history of their legal strategies utilized in similar cases. He is a true trusted advisor in that he presented realistic strategies for various scenarios that enabled me to make a prudent decision. He is a skilked communicator and strategist. I felt understood completely. I would highly recommend Javier.

Javier represented my wife against a past employer who treats their employees like animals. We know of a number of ex-employees of that same company who tried to take them to court but were always lost confidence that they could win cause of the "show of force" the employer would fire at them. Javier stood strong, encouraged and supported my wife through the entire process and she received her much deserved settlement! GREAT JOB Javier! I would highly recommend Javier to anyone needing representation in the area of Wrongful Termination.
