I found attorney Johnathan Lloyd a few years ago when I was forced into litigation by my federal agency and I can honestly say that the positive outcome of my case was a direct result of the expertise and skill of Mr. Lloyd. I found Mr. Lloyd when a close friend recommended Passman and Kaplan and they told me this law firm was the best for mitigating EEO-related matters. As a federal employee in the public-sector, Johnathan s involvement in my case was from the very beginning of the EEO process through settlement two years later. Through professionalism and a solid knowledge-base of public-sector law, Mr. Lloyd skillfully navigated the steps in the EEO process. Although Mr. Lloyd was a junior lawyer at Passman and Kaplan at the time (a few years ago), Mr. Passman provided mentoring oversight to Mr. Lloyd and they worked together in a true partnering relationship. Mr. Lloyd displayed professionalism under all circumstances, even during times in which the opposite parties in our legal dispute engaged in less-than-professional behavior. I was not aware of Mr. Lloyd s workload at the time (I can imagine it was very busy as most lawyers are!), however, Mr. Lloyd always provided direct attention toward my case, and made me feel that I was the highest on his priority list. One perspective very much worth emphasizing, was the honestly and the desire for Mr. Lloyd to find the best possible outcome for me and my situation. On multiple occasions Mr. Lloyd diligently sought amicable settlement with the federal agency in which we were involved, often times with the thoughts of costs of the EEO process when the agency decides to drag the case out , which the agency did in my particular circumstance. Mr. Lloyd had made unique and creative settlement offers that would have been beneficial for my situation, however, would probably have meant less revenue for his law firm. These instances demonstrated honestly, integrity, and a true commitment to garnering the best outcome for his client. On multiple occasions it was required that Mr. Lloyd travel out of state to represent me during settlement negotiations and alternative dispute resolution. He did so happily so I could feel secure in my representation and so as to provide the best services possible. I strongly feel that it was Mr. Lloyd s skill and diligence that resulted in a VERY favorable settlement that I didn t even think was possible when the entire EEO process began. In the end the Agency had no other choice but to recognize the facts of my case, and it was a direct result of Mr. Lloyds detailed analyses, impeccable detailed-oriented nature and oversight of my case that this result came to fruition. I would not have had the happy-ending I had if not for Mr. Lloyd and the expertise of Passman and Kaplan. On a side note, the close friend who recommended Passman and Kaplan to me also had a very favorable outcome to their particular case, which in my opinion reflects the new generation of Passman and Kaplan attorneys continuing the legacy of quality and skilled labor representation for public-sector employees. If you are looking for an HONEST, DILIGENT and VERY skilled labor law firm, I would very much recommend Mr. Johnathan Lloyd for representation in any labor and employment-related dispute.
