Highly Recommend! Very Professional Services!

James helped me with a mis-classifications and wage case. James is very specific when it comes to identifying the supporting points to the case and had great strategy for the hearing. He is friendly and I felt very comfortable working with him. My case went smoothly and his fees are reasonable. High...ly recommend him to perform a great service and take the time to explain the law to you as well.

Recovering back wages from a hi-tech private company

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.

Independant Employment Contract

I had a sticky situation with my former employer who was being less than cooperative in providing any information and withholding my earnings. Mr. Dal Bon was very knowledgeable in this area and got their attention. In the end I can say that I was more than happy with my settlement. I was very ha...ppy with his professionalism in handling my case. Thank you James.

Reasonable and efficient !!!

James helped me for my wage claim case a month ago. James is reasonable in terms of his fees and very specific when it comes to identifying the supporting points to the case. He is friendly and I felt very comfortable working with him. My case went smooth and fine without any hassles. He was even rea...dy to help me with few things after I received the judgement. So I strongly recommend James esp. for wage claim case. Good luck with your case.
