Best in employment law

My employer got rid of me due to age discrimination and nothing to do with my job performance. I was at this job for a really long time. They just wanted to replace me with younger people and that mean a lower salary. Mr. Dalbon helped me to get a very good severance package that my former employer ...didn't offer me. I am really glad I used someone like Mr Dalbon who has extensive knowledge of employment law.

Retaliation, Discrimination & Wrongful Termination case

I reached out to James in regard to a wrongful termination claim I had against a former employer. He carefully explained the process, helped me gather meaningful evidence and guided me to a favorable settlement. I could always reach out to him via phone, email, and text, and he always responded in a ...timely and professional manner. If you are looking for someone who will give it to you straight, be treated with respect, and represented professionally, then you will be in good hands with James!

Very satisfied with what Mr. Dal Bon done for me.

I have interviewed many lawyers to help me. Most will only spend less than 10 to 15 minutes speaking to me on the phone. Any more time I will have to pay them. I left him a message stating how urgent it was for him to call me back and it was a Saturday. He called me back very soon on the same da...y. Most lawyers wouldn't do that for sure. It's their day off, but James called me and spoke to me on the phone for 2.5 hrs. I would recommend anyone with employer disputes to contact James for a free consultation. I hired him and he worked very hard on my case. Thank you James for taking on my case.

James helped me went through unfair situation

I had a hard time that was extremely unfair to me and decided to fight back. James helped me went through all the steps and get it settled. Thank you James! Highly recommend James for any employment justice cases.

Extremely compassionate problem solver!

James was like no other attorney I've worked with, and immediately understood the unique situation I was dealing with. He listened and asked crucial questions to better understand how he could help and provided me with the critical steps I needed to take to protect myself without giving in to unfoun...ded claims. I would recommend him to anyone looking for an excellent employment law expert who treats his clients like real people with real problems.

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.
