Honest, trustworthy and always available.

When I needed help with a difficult legal situation, Nicolas Vrataric was there for me. Mr. Vrataric initially explained the entire process in detail, and gave me a timeline of how long each event would take. Once we began, he continued to advise me every step of the way, and whenever I had questi...ons, he was always there for me. He regularly reminded me to remain patient( exactly what I needed) because the process was not a quick one. Interestingly, his initial statement on how long it would take was very accurate. (within in 2 weeks time) Nico always made sure that my best interests were represented, and he took time to know the type of person I was, which played a big role in the end result. Mr. Vrataric, Mr. Perrin and their entire team always treated me extremely well and I highly recommend them to anyone searching for a strong, competent team that works hard to keep you updated regularly.

Fantastic

We brought our evidence to Mr. Vrataric to pursue retaliation. Throughout the entire span of our case, we felt Mr. Vrataric and his team gave us their full support. If we e-mailed or called with a question or concern, they always got back to us in a timely manner. They would also answer all of our qu...estions and explain the next course of action without making us feel rushed from the phone or that we were interrupting their day. We felt they had expert knowledge of the labor laws and were fully prepared to deal with any intimidation or shenanigans from the other party. Our case had us on an emotional roller coaster for two and a half years. The legal process was something that we were assured in our belief of and terrified to pursue, but, relieved it's finally over. We are very satisfied with the advice we received from everyone involved as well as the outcome of our case. We have nothing but gratitude for every minute this firm spent building and finalizing this period in our lives. Thank you so much.

He Kicked Their A....

Having worked for an entity for almost 25 years and having been recognized as an exemplary employee, imagine my surprise when the entity tried to slander my name, allege that I had done things improperly, and tried to indicate that I was an untrustworthy member of senior management. I quickly call...ed Nico as I had heard of him from other people. He listened to my explanation of what happened, gathered some additional information, and then began the process of suing the entity for their violations. Throughout the entire process, Nico kept me abreast of what was happening, either by phone or email, and made sure that I knew what was going on every step of the way. I liked the way he processed things relating to my case, never wavering from the truth of my case or what it meant for me to be vindicated. Nico assured me and comforted me when needed, and advised me to stay the course. Whenever I thought the case wasn't moving forward fast enough, he got on the phone immediately and explained the process. There was no delay in my case on his part. When it came time for depositions, Nico tore them apart. He made the opposition look like idiots. Their stance initially was to stall and hope that I would go away. Once he was done with the depositions, the opposing side changed their tune and began the process of settlement. That, to me, was a victory in and of itself. When it came time to settlement, Nico stuck to my requests and advised the opposition that we weren't going to budge. He ground them down to the point where they gave in. He wore at them so much they finally decided to settle the case and move on. To me, this was also another victory that I relish to this day. The case has been settled for a while now. Nico still calls to check up on me and to see how I am doing. I wouldn't be doing as well as I am if it weren't for him. I can honestly say that without him at my side, things would have gone differently, so much so that I would have done something brash or stupid. Nico was there to guide me, to advise me, and to be a guardian angel when it was needed. I can't stress to others who need to sue their employer how well Nico handled my case. I can recommend him to others as a trustworthy, responsive, and knowledgeable attorney who will fight your case the way you want it to be fought. He will guide you through the process and he will tell you what is winnable and what is not.

Anyone looking for an lawyer who goes above and beyond, look no further.
