During the initial consultation, I listen carefully and answer questions directly, so as to dispel some of the mysteriousness of law. People call me because they are in crisis at work. Some have lost hope that they will ever be treated fairly, or even that anyone will listen. If you have a remedy, I'll tell you about it. If I can't help you, I'll try to point you towards someone who might be able to. If we work together, my role is to be an aggressive advocate on your behalf, and also a sort of support system to you. Litigation is always unpleasant, but I will prepare you for it and buffer you from it. Legal action takes an emotional toll on my clients. In addition to fighting for my clients' rights I also encourage them to make the best of the process, which sometimes means helping them get in touch with personal strengths they didn't know they had. Over the years, many clients have told me that our strong attorney-client relationship minimized the stress of litigation. Despite the lawyer jokes, we do have souls. And some of us care, deeply. I work aggressively on behalf of my clients to right workplace wrongs. Call me.

I feel very grateful that Judith represented me in a very complicated employment case. Judith Wolff was outstanding during the entire process, and we reached a settlement that was very satisfying to me. I don't think I would have been as successful with any other attorney. Judith is outstanding as...

Expert Opinion, Responsive, and Supportive
I was recently laid off from my long-time job. I had no idea if what my ex-employer was offering (severance) was horrible or fantastic...and I just needed someone with expert knowledge to advise me. I had never even spoken to a lawyer before and was a bit nervous. Judith was exactly what I needed. Sh...

Judith is Amazing
Judith's introduction about being a strong advocate and support system is exactly how I would describe her. She is brilliant, knowledgeable, honest and informative.

"Judith and I have worked closely together for many, many years. In fact in 1996, Judith helped open the employment law department of my firm at the time, The Law Offices of John D. Winer.

She has helped me litigate over hundreds of cases, most with outstanding results. She is also experienced as a workplace investigator and recently opened up her own firm, Fine & Wolff, LLP. Judith is intelligent, knowledgeable and a favorite in my book!"
