I hired this firm in year 2014 and I was successful in winning my case. However, it was as if I had never won the case upon my return back to work. During that time period my case was transfered over from Samir Yakhoo to Erik Synder.

PROS: If you can get Mr. Ed Passman or another attorney to handle your case 100% you will more and likely have a better outcome. The office staff is very friendly and professional.

CONS: ERIK SYNDER, Associate Counsel. AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL! DO NOT RETAIN HIM!

While being represented by Erik Synder, it seemed as though I had never initially won my case. To date, the wrongful termination still remains in my file, back pay was a full mess, retirement never restored, security clearance was never restored and the list continues. Mr. Synder placed absolutely no effort or fight in resolving any issues. Instead, he insisted on dropping the EEOC case. Mr. Synder tried to con me into a settlement that was a complete and ultimate joke. He even sent an email (scare tactic) alleging that the agency had serious concerns that he possibly would not be able to fight on my behalf, therefore he kept suggesting that I settle (I refused). He alleged that he reopened the EEO case in which EEOC has absolutely no record of it. On numerous occassions he would ignore emails until I would forward my emails to Mr. Passman. He would send contradictory emails which would keep my family and I absolutely confused. He had vebal conversations with the agency without my knowledge to work out deals as if he worked for the agency and not the client. In an effort to meet deadlines, he would keep delaying and dragging out the case which would require additional money. He would place his out of office messages on and duck and dodge emails when he knew he had not submitted or completed documentation to submit to court. He made a lot of mistakes where I ultimately lost all confidence and trust in him and this firm. As a result of Mr. Erik Synder's inexperience, the reputation of this firm did not measure up to my expectation and especially for the amount of years and money that was spent. This firm represented me from 2014 to approximately 2019 and to date, my legal issues have yet to be fully resolved therefore I have moved on to another law firm. Seriously do your research before you decide to hire them and if you choose to hire them DO NOT hire Erik Synder.
