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 ev...en 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.

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 pr...iced 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.

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.
