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 o...ut 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.

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 reas...sured 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 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.

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. Javi...er 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.

Effective & Trustworthy

Javier helped me greatly with my case, and throughout the entire process, I felt completely at ease and confident. Javier diligently worked through the many obstacles and brought effective facts to my case. Javier's knowledge, demeanor, and support provided an immeasurable amount of Peace during ou...r time together. I completely endorse Javier with a high degree of confidence and with no hesitation. If I require an attorney again in Javier's area of law, my first and only call will be to Javier.
