consultation on law regarding mass layoffs

I needed to understand the legal issues around a layoff regarding salary and age. He summarized it clearly and succinctly for me so when the time came I understood exactly what was happening and the implications, so I could make an informed decision about signing the paperwork around the severance p...ackage. I contacted him pretty late in the game and his response was quick and accurate! Thanks again, Dan

Client Review

James J. Der Jr. is a patiente, knowledgeable, supportive attorney whom if needed I would not hesitate to work with once again. We had a very short client attorney relationship since the case was settled, but I felt extremely comfortable when working with him.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
