James Anthony Dal Bon

Mr. Dal Bon developed a very sound strategy, from a direct negotiation with the company in order to recover back wages that they owed, all the way to the presenting the claim to the Labor Commissioner, and eventually, to go to the court (as a potential culmination of the entire process). He carefull...y reviewed all factual information and calculated the claim amount that included not only unpaid wages but also overtime wages and waiting time penalties for failure to receive final wages timely upon separation of employment. Thanks to the developed strategy and presenting the entire case to the Labor Commissioner, the hi-tech private company in question approached Mr. Dal Bon and proposed an acceptable settlement. The timeline of the entire process was shorter that originally outlined by Mr. Dal Bon. A big contribution to shortening the timeline was exemplary responsiveness of the Mr. Dal Bon's Law Offices when handling the matter in different stages of the entire process. I recommend Mr. James Anthony Dal Bon to all who bring Employment and Labor-related claims supported by reasonable factual data related to these claims.

James Dal Bon did a fantastic job in expediting a settlement with my former employer. He kept me in the loop whenever he communicated with the opposing counsel and even went out of his way to call an attorney for me on a case that needed to be closed at the same time. Jim’s expertise in the labor l...aw field is surpassed only by his compassion for his clients. He was always very sensitive to my needs and listened as he guided me through an emotional and stressful process. I feel very strongly that my previous employer was more amenable to settlement knowing I had a good attorney that was going to present a very persuasive case. I am very satisfied with the results, but would have enjoyed seeing Jim present the case at trial as I have no doubt that if we had to go the distance I would have had a favorable result. I have confidence that if needed Jim has the ability to take care any of my friends, family members or colleagues that require the services of a skilled employment attorney. This is a situation that I hope to never be in again, but am glad I now have someone to turn to if the need arises.

Here is the story of my case and how James helped me get a fair settlement: I was hired by a start-up tech company as a mechanical engineer, but forced to work as a machinist. I was there for 7 months, when out of the blue I was let go and accused of violating my contract by posting "confidential" ...information on my personal website, which was later found false by an unemployment judge. They offered two weeks severance if I signed a contract that was clearly not in my best interest, so I decided to seek legal help. I interviewed several attorneys before deciding on Mr. Dal Bon. When I met with him for the first time, I could tell he was well versed in employment law and even had several stories of past clients that were similar to my case to give me insight on how to proceed. My former employer pulled no punches. They tried to deny me unemployment benefits, threatened to sue me to remove information from my personal website and wrote some incredibly nasty letters attacking me personally. James kept an even keel and expertly advised me how to handle their attacks while moving the case forward. Under Jame's guidance, I was able to get unemployment, diffuse their threats of lawsuits and move towards a settlement. The shining star in my experience with James was during mediation. If you have never been through mediation, it can be an intense and stressful experience that can last well into the night. Having never experienced anything like this before, I was incredibly nervous, but James was calm. He had several moments where he cited unemployment law that were nothing short of brilliant and turned the tide of the case in my favor. In the end we were able to settle for a sizeable amount that I was more than happy with. If I ever have an employment issue again, James will be the first person I contact.
