Excellent Professional Attorney. Highly Recommend.
I am very thankful for Mr. Javier Carbone’s services. He came highly recommended as a very knowledgeable and straight forward attorney, and I positively agree with that.
When I first met with him at his office, I expected to find the typical attorney's office with a receptionist asking me to fill out paperwork, but instead he personally greeted me in the lobby in a warm and friendly manner. As we discussed my situation, he asked specific questions to collect all of the facts completely, in doing so I could tell he was an experienced attorney in this specialized area of law and also calming and reassuring while finding a practical solution to my issue.
During the time we worked together he was responsive to all of my calls and e-mails and always provided the best advice and practical solutions to resolve the issues in a timely manner.
Throughout the process he treated everyone with care and respect, and represented me well, helping to close the case quickly with a positive outcome.
I strongly recommend him as an excellent and skillful attorney who cares about his work and finding the best solution for his clients.

A very Professional good lawyer
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.

Highly recommend
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.

Great Attorney and very Professional
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.

Vice President
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.

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you
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.

Excellent from the very beginning, and still!
I meet Javier in 2008 and have been working with him ever since, from a WHD case to Employment practices, and several other matters as they pop-up. He is very pleasant, knowledgeable and who's explanations, concepts and advise are, "layman-understandable". Javier is our company, and my personal go to attorney who has helped us to succeed. I never hesitate to call Javier.

Review for Javier Rivera Carbone
I have been working with Javier on employment related matters for the past two years. In particular, he has provided excellent guidance on Puerto Rico labor isssues and clarification on Puerto Rico labor law. He is extremely responsive and makes himself available on short notice. He is not over priced and the quality of his work is excellent. I would highly recommend Javier to anyone who employs personnel in Puerto Rico. Although I have not utilized him for any labor issues in California, I would suspect he is as knowledgeable of California labor law as he is Puerto Rico law. Therefore, I would not hesitate to employ Javier's counsel for California or Federal labor issues should the need arise.
