I wish I could write another 5-star review but I can't. I was mis-represented by Jonquille Pak, who gave me promises on her professionalism she did not stand for. I have been ignored for half a year. I asked her to use advice of the IP lawyer who helped me with the initial contract, she refused, sub-contracted someone else, and I was billed for 5.5K for finding out what was already known. A month or two delay was usual. Etc, Etc. I am giving up.

No, I have no grounds to recommend them.

I recently needed an employment lawyer and Daniel and Waheeda did not disappoint. They are super professional, stay in constant contact with you during the whole process and in the end, you get a positive result to your case.

Working with Jason Jagpal was an amazing experience. He took my situation and made is as easy to understand as possible. Where my situation had strength and weaknesses. Really helped my confidence working through the legal jargon. Thoroughly enjoyed working with him, and highly recommend him.

I was referred to work with Daniel Lublin when I believed I was wrongfully dismissed from my work place and was told that he would help me as he really knows his business. Quickly, after a call to Daniel he walked me through the steps I needed to take to better understand my situation. He treated me with kid gloves and asked all the right questions that eventually closed my employment issue to what I believed was fair. I would recommend Daniel and his team for quick results anytime.

As an executive and having familiarity with a variety of lawyers and firms in the non-employment law spaces, I definitely knew what I did not want.

After a bit of shopping, I met with Daniel from Whitten & Lublin and choose him. I am glad I did.

My former employer started me off with a low ball offer for a very senior position.

Daniel caught this issue right away, and It was this issue that immediately brought our range up 6x over where they started and allowed us to negotiate on our terms, not theirs. Then Daniel developed a strategy to threaten a novel claim for extra damages that enabled us to get the last 20% of what we wanted.

Most lawyers, in my experience, would apply the 80 / 20 rule and stopped at achieving 80% of the result, because most of the work left is in pushing for that last 20%.

Daniel took it the extra mile. His innovative approach applied recent legal precedent on an non-employment law related issue to get us over the goal line. My former employment caved.

I would HIGHLY recommend.

I've worked with Daniel Chodos from Whitten & Lublin multiple times and I can attest that he is a top-notch Employment Lawyer and always gets the job done. He helped me review and negotiate multiple contracts and we were successful at getting the points that I wanted. I would certainly recommend Mr. Chodos for your Employment Law needs.

When I retained Daniel to represent me for an employment dispute that had been dragging on for a lengthy period of time I could have never imagined then that such a negative situation would be resolved so quickly, efficiently and with such a positive outcome. Right from the onset Daniel was approachable, professional, honest and straightforward with the information he provided. His expertise and knowledge of the law was obvious and undeniable, most importantly I felt I could trust his representation regarding my case, and that was very important to me.I appreciated greatly that Daniel was always accessible and returned my calls, questions or emails promptly. I would HIGHLY recommend to anyone requiring the services of an employment lawyer to contact Daniel Lublin first. Thank you again, Daniel, Kindest Regards, Sandy

After being given an early retirement package, I was advised to retain Whitten and Lublin. Simone Ostrowski was assigned to my case. Without hesitation, she new we could get more. Her knowledge and professionalism prevailed. Within a few weeks we had a settlement that far exceeded my expectations. Thank you to Simone and her team. I would highly recommend Simone to anyone in the future.

I can honestly say, without any hesitation, that I highly recommend Simone at Whitten & Lublin for employment law matters. I felt my rights had been violated by my employer and after a disappointing decision by the Ministry of Labour, I decided to appeal to the Ontario Labour Relations Board. A mediation with the employer would be scheduled to take place and I needed an experienced lawyer to help me through it.

Right from the initial consultation, I felt I could trust Simone. She answered all of my questions in a professional manner-it was obvious that she had experience with similar matters and that she had been through the OLRB process before. Further, she was upfront about what I could expect and discussed realistic outcomes.

Simone is punctual, thorough, to-the-point and genuinely wants the best outcomes for her clients. I was very happy with the final result of my case and I owe that to her. Simone is a pleasure to work with and gets results!

Daniel Lublin was recommended to me through an Executive Search firm that I had dealt with in the past. We had a full case together regarding a settlement for my severance. Daniel was thorough, expedient and in complete control of the process required to solve the case. He knew the exact steps necessary to reach our goal and completed the process almost exactly as he had predicted.

I would hire Daniel again if I was ever in this position going forward. I would also highly recommend him to anyone looking to obtain a fair settlement for employment severance.

Dave Irvine

Would highly recommend, given the organizations level of expertise and professionalism. Specifically, Daniel Chodos places high value in client engagement and in seeking the best outcome of those he supports. He provides a strategic and balanced approach, stemming from experience and compassion.

After being laid off from my full-time job, I was referred to Whitten & Lublin by a friend to negotiate my severance package. From my first meeting with Daniel Lublin, I felt absolutely confident I was in the right hands. Daniel put me at ease immediately -- he took the time to explain my situation from a legal perspective, showed empathy and a true desire to want to secure a fair settlement. I expected for such a big firm with such an impressive reputation to feel like just a number -- but it was the complete opposite. I never felt like it was all about the money for Daniel. I ALWAYS felt I had Daniel's undivided attention and promise to do the best he could. During the entire process, anytime I had a question or sought clarification, his law clerk Nida was there in a heartbeat to offer help. I cannot say enough about the professionalism and talent of Daniel and his staff. In the end, Daniel was able to get everything I asked for, and I was able to walk away with more than I had thought possible! Thank you Daniel and Nida for your exceptional service!

I found Whitten & Lublin via their website and read these same reviews to determine my short list of employment lawyers to interview. My experience with Whitten & Lublin and specifically with Marc Kitay exceeded my expectations and substantiated these positive reviews.

Marc and his team were informed, prepared and professional at all times. They represented my interests with integrity but also with the assertiveness that was needed to get my former employer to step up to their obligations.

Despite my years of professional representation and negotiation experience, I would not have been able to reach the same swift and equitable settlement without Marc on my team. Thank you.

Coming to this firm and meeting Marc Kitay for this first time, immediately put my mind at ease.
Being a type A personality myself, I appreciated that he was prepared in advance, and answered all of our questions. He was organized and knowledgeable.
While dealing with my settlement, I was unwell and had health issues, so I needed someone that I could feel confident with, and who would understand. Marc took over and did so with the utmost respect.
Correspondence was ongoing during all stages and he had my back the entire time. This firm works as a team and I appreciate everyone's hard work.
Thank you Marc for doing a fantastic job. I would not hesitate to recommend you. You are truly an asset to Whitten Lublin. All the best!

I had a first rate experience getting counsel from Whitten and Lublin, and I have only great things to say about this firm including the outstanding service I received from the entire staff. In particular, my lawyer was available to help me with my tight time-frames even while on vacation, and this mattered and meant a great deal. I additionally enjoyed the focused but thoughtful legal conversations and explanations we engaged in to get down to the the main points, and was feeling even upbeat once or twice through the process like having an ace up my sleeve. Thanks again Daniel and all.

I worked with Daniel and Simone recently and highly recommend using them for employment law matters. They drafted excellent detailed written materials, prepared creative legal arguments, and gathered helpful case law to support my position. On a personal level Daniel and Simone worked very well as a team with me, and were both caring and strategic.

Paul Macchione was available the day I called Whitten & Lublin seeking advice in a constructive dismissal case and I feel fortunate we were able to work together. I had no previous experience of hiring legal counsel. Paul is a good listener, provided pragmatic experienced counsel, useful strategies and efficient service. My context made it almost impossible to meet in person, and even scheduling phone meetings was challenging. Despite the handicap of not having met, Paul provided personal service and a genuine understanding of the emotional and physical stress I was under at the time. In the end we were able to achieve a settlement that met my expectations. I'm happy to recommend Paul.

Paul Macchione dealt with my case regarding a non-compete clause in which my former employer was looking for a level of compensation from me I simply could not afford. Paul talked me through the process and strategy during the initial phone consultation and followed through with this. My former employer ended up deciding to not pursue any legal avenue following correspondence from Paul, having previously stated their intention to if I didn't pay up so I couldn't be happier with the outcome. Thanks Paul!

Athan Makrinos is a champion for detail, and balanced fairness, an eagle eye for economic and cultural context of the liquid journey of employment law. Athan performs with an utter nature of goodness for all sides concerned. This is the professional you want working for you before the Supreme Court Of Canada steals him away from the us little folk.

I was offered an early retirement package after many years of service like several of my colleagues. I heard that Whitten and Lublin was the best employment law firm in the GTA. I engaged Priya Sarin and her team to handle my case. She explained the process in a way I could clearly understand and she assured me we could do better. After she completed her skillful negotiations the final offer was much better than I had hoped for. I highly recommend Priya. Thank you for your excellent professional work and the great result!

I continue to recommend Daniel unreservedly.

My experience at Whitten & Lublin was excellent from start to finish over a period of many months. My lawyer, Stephen Wolpert, helped to bring clarity very quickly to a complex situation. His advice was always well thought out and he sought to understand my situation as well as possible before presenting options on how to proceed. His years of experience also came in handy many times in terms of reading signals from my employer and where and when to push for more. I was regularly kept up to date as the file progressed and consistently felt like my interests were top of mind for Stephen. I also felt like our work progressed with a good sense of urgency and that Stephen was available to talk to when I needed to speak with him. Overall, I would highly recommend both this firm and Stephen Wolpert specifically as counsel in an employment law case.

Thank you for all of your help!

I was fortunate to be referred to Daniel Lublin from a colleague after a dispute arose with a former employer. From the initial consultation with Mr. Lublin, I knew that I would be represented by a professional and competent lawyer. Daniel clearly explained all the options I had, and what the steps would be in the process. I expressed what I wanted out of the process and he gave me his recommendations. Within 2 weeks, Daniel managed to conclude a settlement that was far above the employer's initial position. I can say I was truly satisfied with the service provided by Daniel and his legal team. I would highly recommend them to any friend or colleague who requires legal assistance to deal with an employment issue.

As the owner of a small corporation, I have worked with various legal advisors for different needs, Daniel Lublin of Whitten & Lublin being one of them. Daniel is a trusted legal representative for our company and has provided timely representation on various legal matters related to our workforce. When our company launched, Daniel provided us with the right legal documents and as we grew Daniel s continued advice and expertise was necessary to avoid several potential setbacks, including one particular instance where we needed a real bulldog . Daniel was definitely there to protect our interests when we needed him. We value Daniel s willingness to go to the distance for his clients, even for small businesses, which was a personal touch that was not apparent with other law firms I have worked with. I would recommend Daniel Lublin and his team to any organization looking for a fresh legal perspective.

Daniel Chodos at Whitten and Lublin did a fantastic job on my case recently. I was owed back salary from 2015. He was able to collect all that I was due, as well as interest on that balance, AND all my legal fees. He was on top of the case from day 1. As a resident in the States, I was initially concerned that I might be forgotten after I had paid the retainer. That was the furthest thing from the truth! Daniel pushed hard to get what was rightfully mine, and I will be forever grateful to him and the staff at Whitten and Lublin for the excellent job they did.

I feel so grateful to have the opportunity to connect with Daniel Lublin during one of the most difficult times for myself. At a time when I feel hopelessly in everything, he patiently listened to my situation and kept encouraging me not to give up what I am entitled for while showing full respect of having me making the final without feeling pressure or obligations. He took the extra steps to ensure I would not regret down the road when I look back of the decision made. Daniel, you are not only a strategic and knowledgeable employment lawyer but also an awesome guy with good heart. BIG thanks to you!

I recently dealt with Marc Kitay at Whitten and Lublin and I knew within the first 5 minutes of meeting with him that I was making the right decision.

He is extremely knowledgeable, professional and made me feel confident that we were working together to accomplish our goal. I would highly recommend Marc for anyone that is looking for an employment lawyer.

I was recently laid off without cause after being with my firm for over30 years and Daniel came highly recommended to review my severance package. He immediately made me feel at ease and fully explained my options during this difficult time. Throughout the negotiation process all questions and concerns were immediately responded to.

I was truly fortunate to have had Marc Kitay represent me in an extremely difficult case against my former employer. From the moment I walked into Whitten & Lublin and met with Marc for my consultation, he put my mind at ease. He assessed the case, provided sound legal advice and I left his office with a fully retained lawyer and one who went to work for me within the hour. I was impressed with his demeanour, professionalism and his efficiency. Marc always responded to me within the same day and no matter how busy he was, always took the time to fully listen and thoughtfully respond.

When I was let go at my job, it was a huge shock for me and family. I was about to sign the papers provided but figured why not get a consolation to see if what I'm getting is fair? On a friend's recommendation I reached out to Simone Ostrowski. All I can say is that from the beginning to end the experience was absolutely fantastic. Simone explained everything to me in detail, replied to all my questions promptly and got me far more than what was offered to me initially by my employer. Anushka Inamdar who is an assistant to Simone was also fantastic during the whole process. She replied to all my emails and phone calls promptly and always kept me in the loop. I usually don't write google reviews but what Simone and Anushka did for me and family is something I will never forget. Don't hesitate and contact Simone right away! Thank you Simone and Anushka for everything!

My experience working with Whitten Lublin was very powerful. I worked directly with Daniel Lublin and he was great right from the start. His experience, knowledge, negotiating skills, ability to flex with the different scenario's and options presented and his strategic approach to pushing for the outcomes I wanted was very strong. Mostly though, I always felt well taken care of and in good hands. In stressful situations like this, to me that was most important.

I would highly recommend Daniel Lublin and Whitten Lublin for any employment needs.

I was referred to Daniel Lublin by a former colleague and I highly recommend his team for anyone in need of an Employment Lawyer. The entire experience working with Daniel and his team exceeded all my expectations. Daniel was very strategic in his approach, provided me with tremendous support during a time of personal change, and his strong track record in being an effective negotiator resulted in efficient and effective discussions with my former employer. He was extremely responsive to any of my inquiries. I have already referred Daniel and his firm to another former bank executive and they are also extremely pleased with how the discussions went.

Athan worked closely with us every step of the way to ensure we understood the process and made sure that every step was followed.

I feel morally obliged to write this review for Mr. Daniel Chodos, employment lawyer at Whitten & Lublin, who was recommended to me by my lawyer friend.
I was very impressed with Mr. Chodos professionalism, legal expertise and strategy, clear and concise explanation, efficiency and effectiveness. My case was successfully concluded in a span of less than two months from the date of initial legal consultation without having my case going to trial. This translates to great savings on legal cost for me.

Recommendation: Mr. Daniel Chodos is highly recommended for anyone looking to hire an experienced, cost effective and pleasant-to-work-with employment lawyer.

I highly recommend Whitten and Lublin employment lawyers, specifically Sezar Bune. During our initial consultation, he was able to address my concerns in regards to being terminated after many years of service with my previous employer. He offered me expert advice and reassurance through this difficult time. Sezar was very knowledgeable and had excellent communication, always returned emails and phone calls in a timely fashion and thoroughly explained my options. This enabled me to feel at ease when dealing with an otherwise stressful situation in my life. Sezar maintained his professionalism in our interactions and I am greatly appreciative to have had him represent me during this time. Thank you for everything.

I was recently released unfairly by my former employer. Marc Kitay and his team helped me receive fair compensation and provide a peaceful resolution to a stressful time. I would highly recommend Whitten and Lublin to anybody needing employment advice. Thanks Marc.

I was in need of an employment lawyer and I came across Whitten & Lublin. I contacted the lawyer firm and set up an appointment with David Whitten. David had a very good understanding of my situation and practically solved all the issues on our first meeting. He was very attentive to details and he picked up hints and useful points that I had overlooked. He is a very patient listener and I was able to take my time to present my story and concerns. Before the end of our first meeting, he had already formulated a course of action setting out the final goal and range of expectations. When I asked about the fees, I was very surprised to hear from David that it would be way less expensive for me to take on the hourly fee option. I was not expecting a lawyer would say that. He genuinely cares about his clients as much as justice being served. I was so impressed when he presented me with a draft for me to approve the day following our first meeting. We sent that draft out as it is on the same day and nothing in it that needed to be changed. His deep knowledge, understanding and expertise in his field were borne out in the negotiation process. Despite some irritations and misrepresentations from the lawyer representing the employer, David remained very composed and gentleman-like. He steered me clear of certain problematic areas and potential pitfalls. From that point on, we went through a few rounds of negotiation and the whole case was settled in about two months just as he had predicted. David had made a delicate legal process so seamless, less stressful and inexpensive. Looking back, I had made the right choice to trust David with my case.

Highly recommend Team thanks Jason I do appreciate you reaching out take care.

I was initially pretty worried about this call, having never talked to a lawyer before for employment reasons. The team at Whitten & Lublin were very prompt in getting an appointment scheduled, following up, managing expectations about what the call would be about, and ensuring I knew what to send over to them to make sure the call with Ellen Low was as productive as possible.

Ellen did a great job in explaining the legal principles involved for my case, in language that I could understand. She didn't talk down to me, nor did she launch into really technical jargon either. Ellen was highly recommended by a friend of mine, and I'd happily pass on the same recommendation to others.

No words can describe the level or professionalism...

No words can describe the level or professionalism and courtesy they provide. They are the best employment lawyers in Toronto. Best in Class! From beginning to end, I felt like I was totally being taken care of and I could sleep easily at night knowing Whitten & Lublin were in my corner. They are very prompt at replying and everything was thoroughly explained. Do not hesitate to contact them. You will not be disappointed.

I would highly recommend this firm. I ve had to work with other lawyers for different things and usually they seem too distracted to actually care about your case and you have to chase them to get things done. Ryan Watkins was the attorney I worked with and he was patient, thorough and followed through when he said he would. He helped me fight for what I deserved, maintain my dignity, and get through a very stressful event with a satisfying outcome. They are not inexpensive but totally worth every dollar.

I was fortunate to work with Athan at Whitten and Lublin. He was professional, courteous and answered all of my questions in a timely manner.
His expertise greatly assisted me with increasing my settlement. I would recommend Athan for any employment law matters.
Thank you!

We recently consulted with Simone Ostrowski on an employment matter. We really appreciated Simone's thoroughness and attention to detail. Simone was also very patient with explaining things in a way that was easy to understand. She is definitely the lawyer to have in your corner with any employment issues!

STAY AWAY! I contacted this law firm because off all of their reviews online and I was VERY DISAPPOINTED!! I lost my job because of restructuring and thought these lawyers could help. NO WAY! They don't listen to you or help in anyway! They just want to take your money. Stay away from these people!!

I found Tommy refreshingly honest, diligent and excellent value for the money. He (with the support of his firm) was able to immediately and precisely identify strong case law supporting my statement of claim, while at the same time fully apprising me of risks. He is neither jaded or patronizing, and projects diligence, intelligence and sincerity. I would recommend him to anyone for precise quality legal counsel.

Priya Sarin, Partner at Whitten & Lublin recently represented me on a settlement matter with my previous employer. She handled the entire negotiation from start to finish and was able to achieve a favourable outcome. Moreover, Priya was very professional to deal with and there were no hidden fees. I was definitely well-represented and would strongly recommend that you meet with Priya should you need assistance with an employment matter.

18 years of faithful service and suddenly, my position was eliminated. My ex-employer gave me the minimum severance package dictated by law. An old family friend who is also my Financial Adviser came over and checked my offer the day after I was let go and decided I needed to see a good lawyer. We googled "Top Employment Lawyers" and found "Whitten and Lublin" as the most prominent.

My friend made the call to their office. I believe he was given options on consultation rates but chose Daniel Lublin, even though it would cost more. My friend reckoned he charged more because he could get better results.

We met with Mr Lublin who examined my case, determined my ex-employer could do much better and told me my options. But he never pressured me to hire him nor did he place any time restrictions on me to get back to him.

My friend advised me (and rightfully so) to go with Daniel Lublin. We hired him and he went to work, stating to my ex-employer what the severance package should actually be.

My ex-employer came back with their counter offer which Mr Lublin rejected and re-stated our claim. They came back with their "Final Offer" which was better but not the best. At this point Daniel Lublin phoned me. I considered myself a lowly client and Mr Lublin, being a senior partner at Whitten and Lublin, I expected him to not want to spend any more time and accept their offer. However, I was amazed when he said he was not happy. He had called to ask my consent to go after them once more even to the point of suing them in court.

I am happy to say that Daniel Lublin along with his Law Clerk, Nida Arifullah, were so effective that they obtained the best settlement I could hope for without having to go to court and I did not have to pay anything more in legal fees than what was agreed to at the outset.

Needless to say, I can highly, fully, completely recommend Daniel Lublin and his team to represent anyone in a similar situation who may need legal counsel.

I had a great experience and was fortunate to have been represented by David Whitten regarding an unemployment issue. This was the first time I have been in a situation like this and I felt at ease when I was referred to the Whitten and Lublin law firm. David gave me extremely helpful advice and insight from the first time we spoke. After hearing what he had to say I was already confident in his knowledge and asked him to represent me. Even though I was a small client he still listened to everything I had to say and explained his plan for my best defense. He had a way of explaining complicated intricate ideas in a way where it was easy to understand. David is honest, fair, reliable and patient. I would highly recommend David Whitten to others who might be facing a similar unemployment issue.

I met with Mr. Lublin last Friday. He was very direct and to the point which is exactly what I was looking for. He methodically went through the history that I had provided him and his thorough review of my case helped me make a more informed decision. Thank you.

I would also like to thank his assistant Valeria. I was being pressured by my former employer to make a decision on a date prior to what my scheduled meeting was with Mr. Lublin. When I called to ask that the meeting be moved up she was compassionate, professional and was able to schedule an earlier meeting.

If I ever find myself in this position again, Mr. Lublin would be my first phone call. I would not hesitate to recommend this firm to anyone.

I highly recommend Ellen Low. She is professional, intelligent and personable to work with. I had recently Ellen's services to assist me in negotiating a better severance package with my former employer. From the moment I met her, I knew that I was in good hands. She explained the entire process and kept me informed the entire time. Ellen is definitely someone you want in your corner.

Thank you Ellen!

I highly recommend Daniel Lublin as an exceptional employment lawyer. Previously my husband had a great experience engaging Daniel, so when I was terminated from my company after 13 plus years I had no doubt whom to turn to. At our initial consultation Daniel clearly explained to me what could be done to make my former employer extend my severance payment period. He handled my case highly professionally, aggressively, and having my best interests in mind. As a result of Daniel s hard work my former company had to add 14 weeks to the initial by-law termination payment. Thank you Daniel!

Update: As a law firm before blaming someone for a fake review you should have asked if they are using an alias to be anonymous. This blaming behaviour is a good example of how your case will be handled by this firm. Moreover, their victim blaming response is an indicator of arrogance and unwillingness of rectifying situation. Rather than looking what emails are not answered they chose the easy way of looking for client name which demonstrates their lack of professionalism and willingness to take the easy way out.
Having so many 5 star reviews from people who have only 1 review under their profile seem like fake reivews but hey they are not bad for business; therefore, they must be true, fair and definitely not fake. Such hypocrites. Buyer beware!!!

Visited a lawyer regarding workplace issues. The consultancy was ok and I was charged over 350CAD for the consult. Although I was promised by the lawyer that he would answer any questions if there is an update on the situation. The case progresses I sent emails but they were never replied and no support was given. Not dependable especially if your case is not easy one.

This is the third time my wife and I have needed and used the services of Whitten Lublin. On this occasion my Lawyer was Marc Kitay. Marc was extremely Knowledgeable and Professional. He provided me with all the answers I was looking for as well he made me feel at ease that everything would work out which it did. Marc and the entire staff went beyond the call to assist me with my claim. The entire team is top shelf. Professional, Knowledgeable, Understanding and Courteous. I would recommend to anyone who needs representation in the area of employment claims to seek out Whitten Lublin. I assure you will be extremely happy with their services and results. Once again Thank You Marc for being there for me when I needed your assistance. You are the Best.

Kind Regards,

Peter Szydlowski

Marc Kitay recently helped me through a very tough employment situation. When major changes occurred at my place of employment, I was unsure of the next step. Marc took the time to explain my options and guided me through the entire process. We discussed the pros and cons of each offer and it was through his expertise that I received the positive results I did. I am very grateful to Marc for all of his support and I have no hesitation recommending him to others facing the same situation.

I set up a consultation meeting with Jason Jagpaul after my company let me go. Confused and looking for answers, I was so happy with my meeting with Jason. Jason helped me and gave me the best advice. He listened to my needs and didn't push me into something I didn't want to do. Super friendly and smart. Jason helped me out and gave me the confidence to get results - as cheesy as that sounds!

Employment disputes are never pleasant however I was very pleased with the patience,care and sage advice I received from Paul Macchione.

Thank you Paul and Jacqueline for all your hard work on my behalf.
Sincerely,
Marilyn Elphick, Reg.N, M.Div., ThM.

It was a pleasure dealing with Daniel Lublin and I strongly recommend him as an employment lawyer. Once I explained the objectives I was trying to achieve, he immediately came up with a strategy to meet them. He was transparent at every step and I appreciated that he set realistic expectations with me. I felt that he tried to push the envelope as far as we could and I was satisfied with my settlement. I also felt confident he had my best interest at heart and that he demonstrated strong representation on my behalf. I would definitely work with Daniel again.
