David Whitten and team was great to work with. Very professional, and always engaged in the issues. This is a group that really knows what they are doing and how to best resolve the matters. 100% 5 stars!
I chose this law firm based off of their high Google reviews and ratings online. I'm glad I made the trip to Toronto to meet with Tommy. I showed up almost 40 minutes early, and expected to have to wait until my 2pm appointment or even later, as I figured most lawyers are running behind with appointments. Tommy greeted me just before our scheduled appointment time, he wasn't late and I didn't have to wait very long. Tommy was able to assist me navigating employment while having an invisible disability with a Service Dog. I was given the time to ensure I had all my questions answered without feeling rushed. He navigated through my human rights and what my options were regarding my employment, and future employment. Even though I didn't require anything further than some legal advice and a consultation I would highly recommend Tommy for any of your employment law related needs. He is very professional and thorough. I know he would give his clients the time and attention they deserved, and fight for their rights. Thank you Tommy for taking the time to speak with Keeva and I! Your time and help was much appreciated!!!
If you are looking for the best lawyer who will overcome impasse, I definitely recommend David Whitten. I wish I had hired David sooner - I consulted/hired a few lawyers (prior David) who reached an impasse and left me hopeless. But things were different with David - his talent and strategies are nonpareil, he was able to overcome the impasse in less than 3 months and delivered amazing results. I am extremely satisfied and grateful for his services. I can finally breath and starting a new chapter in life. Thank you David ! Too bad there was no 6 stars review ****** I would have given it to you !
Daniel Lublin and his team at Whitten & Lublin are fantastic! Mr.Lublin not only won my case, but also helped ease the anxieties that came along with it. His entire team, whether it was the secretary or one of his associates treated me and my case with the utmost respect, attention, and care. I am grateful for all of the legal assistance I was given in such a timely manner, and highly recommend the Law office of Whitten & Lublin if you are looking for a confident, knowledgeable and assertive win.
I highly recommend the services of Whitten & Lublin. I have retained David's council for several years and have always received excellent representation. David Whitten has always been very effective and efficient with any situation I present to him. David's open and honest approach is appreciated and allowed me to make sound decisions quickly.
As soon as I received an unpleasant termination, I checked for lawyers and decided on Whitten & Lublin -particularly Daniel. Daniel came recommended by a family friend. Daniel was friendly, empathetic, stayed positive throughout and negotiated a fair outcome. He welcomed questions and showed ownership of the process by responding with answers in a clear and timely manner and giving options wherever possible.. Jean C
I highly recommend the services of Daniel Chodos at Whitten & Lublin. Daniel handled a difficult and stressful situation with grace and expertise. I found him to be knowledgeable, resourceful and always communicative. He's a pro. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Daniel and Whitten & Lublin.
I strongly recommend Daniel Lublin and Athanasios Makrinos as an employment lawyers. Daniel was empathetic and kind while I was having the most difficult time of my life. He was clear, concise and confident with his action plan right from the first meeting which provided some hope to me. During the ongoing process Athan consistently stayed in touch , provided follow up and feedback as needed in timely manner until the matter was closed. It was very easy to communicate and get clarifications whenever needed. I am truly satisfied with the process, support and genuine willingness to help by these two. It was the best decision to meet the team at Whitten & Lublin.
It is with pleasure that I recommend our employment lawyer Tommy Junho Hong. During a difficult time in my life in which I was under much stress & duress during a prior employment, Tommy in addition to his legal expertise also provided much empathy and compassion to help make this difficult process more bearable. Tommy's personable and very calming demeanor along with his strong understanding of the workings of the law and how to effectively communicate complex situations and make them more understandable. In addition to these strong skills, he is always very professional and also timely in his follow up. I would strongly recommend Tommy if you are ever in need of an employment lawyer.
My experience with Tommy Hong was absolutely amazing. He was personable, patient and believed in my case no matter what. In a difficult situation, it sometimes take one person to be on your side. Tommy was that one person. He lifted me up and I just simply cannot thank him enough for not only the results but just the type of person he is. Thank you so so much Tommy!!!
It was an absolute pleasure working with Mr. Athanasios Makrinos from Whitten & Lublin. I didn t feel I was presented a fair package and was seeking legal advise to review the documentation to ensure I received what I should be legally entitled to. Athan was very knowledgeable and professional and took his time to review my package and explain what my options would be when countering the offer. I would highly recommend him for legal advise and the services of Whitten & Lublin!
Had the pleasure to work with David Whitten. Straight to business. Knowledgeable and professional. Timely responses and actions with honest and kind correspondence. It was a workplace related claim and there is no doubt that I got the best outcome possible because of Whitten & Lublin.
Had a great experience at a very unpleasant time. Ryan at Whitten & Lublin was very supportive, professional and responsive. While we ultimately couldn't get the result we were looking for, I do feel that we got the best deal we could. I appreciate all efforts made and would recommend them to anyone looking for help!
When I was in need of an employment lawyer, a friend recommended this firm, and from the very first contact it was friendly and professional. Within hours of requesting information on the website, I was contacted by a very friendly and helpful representative and then assigned to lawyer Daniel Chodos. Daniel was very welcoming, understanding, and efficient. He set expectations and followed up regularly. He represented me the way I needed, and gave great counsel on when and how to proceed or respond at different times. I highly recommend Daniel Chodos, and this law firm for any employment law needs!
From our initial assessment meeting, Cedric explained my options and which ones were the most reasonable given my circumstances. Once my situation became clearer, he ensured we were in total agreement before he engaged with my former employer. His approach was reasonable and no nonsense while ensuring I had realistic expectations. I'm extremely pleased with his services and would recommend Cedric to other people in a similar predicament.
Julian R. E. Whitten assisted me in the review of an employment contract on a tight deadline. He approached this contract review professionally and he communicated effectively. I will contact Mr. Whitten again if I need assistance to review another employment contract.
Truely appreciate Daniel Lublin and Nida in quickly and professionally handing my case. Thank you for all your help! I would recommend Daniel Lublin as an Employment Lawyer.
I had a very positive experience with Simone Ostrowski. She set realistic expectations for me really clearly - which is incredibly important in legal matters, and she coached me through a process that was as confusing and frustrating as you can imagine for a layman like myself.
Daniel Chodos and Simone Ostrowski were fantastic to deal with from start to finish with my employee-related Human Rights/ civil issue. Both were very good with communication and knew the relevant laws inside and out. Daniel is a straight shooter and Simone is a firecracker who doesn't back down! We were able to reach a great outcome. I would highly recommend them! Thanks Whitten & Lublin
My case was a very routine and only required a single consultation, I was looking for piece of mind and clarity about my rights. Athan clearly explained all of the relevant laws step-by-step, and answered all of my questions and concerns. He instilled confidence in me to approach my former employer on my own without occurring further fees. Again my case was routine, but I have confidence Athan and his firm will do a great job litigating or defending more complex cases.
I am extremely pleased with the service that I have received so far from Athan Makrinos. He is knowledgeable.... and offers sound advice. He attentively listens to your concerns and offers options based on your personal situation. Positive experience.
I've been working with Athan Makrinos for over 1 year now and I must say that Athan does not disappoint. Athan makes customer service his number one priority and is always eager to help. He is knowledgeable and resourceful and always ensures that you are updated on next steps. He is also very personable and easy to work with. Overall, working with Athan has been an excellent experience.
Sorry for very late review. On behalf of my Husband Pablo, We highly recommend Paul Macchione who handled my husband s case 2 yrs. ago and I was with him all through out the meeting with his Lawyer from beginning to end. He was friendly, approachable and provided us with all the answers and details to our questions. And We must say, we were happy and satisfied with the results and lasted with considerable amount of time. So, We Thank you Paul Macchione . Although, It was a very late review, We just want you to know that Pablo and I really appreciated for all the worked that you ve done for him for settling the case in the exact period of time. Regards and More power to you Paul and All the Lawyers and staff of Whitten & Lublin Firm.
Overall a great experience with Daniel Chodos. I thoroughly enjoyed working with him, as he clearly set expectations and always seemed ready to push for more. If perception is reality, then he is a master of hard work. I will definitely be recommending his services to future contacts who face legal employment matters.
Thomas Hong handled my file exceptionally. This should be the first place you go when you have any issues with your former or current employer. I am so glad I was referred to this firm and Thomas.
I never imagined that I d ever need an employment lawyer until one day I was offered a severance package, and I suddenly found myself in foreign territory.
I was referred to an employment lawyer, Daniel Chodos, by a close friend who had successfully used him in the past. Daniel works at the Toronto firm, Whitten & Lublin LLP, which I later learned is very well known for their work in Employment Law, which gave me a lot of comfort knowing that I would be well represented by credible leaders in their field.
During my initial consultation with Daniel, he shared a lot of key insights with me regarding my case and he also left me some additional resources so that I could familiarize myself with the basics of Ontario employment law.
Daniel and I worked closely together over the following months and I always appreciated how he managed my expectations throughout the lengthy process. I believed that he used our time together efficiently, that he was very responsive when I emailed him, and that he always treated my situation with urgency and professionalism.
I am happy with my final outcome, but results aside, it was comforting having Daniel in my corner walking me through the process every step of the way. He advised me on all major decisions and I believe that he was always acting in my best interests. I knew that Daniel would never let me accept a bad deal.
Going forward, I will be contacting Daniel Chodos and Whitten & Lublin LLP again, but next time it will be to review my future Employment Agreements before I sign them. Lesson learned!
Having worked with many employment lawyers as an HR professional, I can honestly say that Stephen Wolpert is one of the best I have had the pleasure of working with. Stephen was supportive, professional and worked with me to navigate a successful course in a complicated and stressful situation. Stephen wasted no time in helping to develop our strategy and executed flawlessly. He is thorough and clear in his communications and from the outset made me feel reassured that everything would turn out ok. I would highly recommend Stephen and the team at Whitten & Lublin.
I had the pleasure of being represented by Daniel Chodos. Daniel was compassionate, knowledgeable and explained everything clearly. What I found most impressive about Daniel is his willingness to listen and genuinely help. He was always completely professional and responded to my questions quickly. He made sure to keep me updated along the way. I can't thank him enough. I would recommend Daniel Chodos and Whitten & Lublin.

Worked with Paul Macchione and would recommend him to anyone who needs a employment lawyer. The firm is very professional and helpful. The team made the entire process seamless.
You'll be thoroughly pleased with the results and the process when you work with Athan Makrinos. In particular his genuine helpful empathy, his unmatched professional inquisitiveness and his thoughtful candor are really what you want when you are facing issues of Employment Law and you need someone who will clarify quickly and then deliberately develop and execute a plan forward with you as a partner committed to your interests.
They are Awesome, straight to the point and no time wasting. Very honest and very professional. I spoke with Julian, he was well prepared and knowledgeable and excellent in explanation. I will definitely recommend them to everybody.
I was thoroughly satisfied with the service I received from Priya Sarin. She is very knowledgeable, and understood exactly the situation and what was required even though it was a bit of a complicated matter for me. She also used her experience to ensure that I reached a result I was happy with and was fair and best for me, providing helpful guidance and suggestions along the way.
Stephen Wolpert was very helpful: Very clear about the options I had, my chances of success, the risks. He advises which option is the best, but never put pressure into choosing it. I have always felt free to choose whichever course of action I wanted. He was also very considerate about the client's financial situation, which I appreciated very much after losing my job. Finally, he was always available to answer my questions. Everybody at Whitten & Lublin was very helpful, Daniela, Josie and Anna, always giving prompt replies to my requests.
As an individual who has never had to deal with any type of lawyers, my experience with Daniel Lublin was very positive. Daniel and his assistant, Nida were very understanding, professional and highly efficient. I am very happy with the positive outcome of my case and would highly recommend Daniel Lublin and Whitten & Lublin to anybody needing assistance with their employment.
After finding myself in the middle of an unexpected dismissal, I knew I needed a zealous advocate in my corner that would be able to guide me and fight for my rights. David Whitten was that and more. I can see why he came so highly recommended to me.
The situation felt completely overwhelming but he listened to what I had to share, focused on what mattered and took action immediately. I was very impressed with his insights, advice and confidence in my case. David broke things down in a direct easy-to-understand way which helped me navigate my way through a very unsettling time. I would highly recommended working with David should you be in need of a lawyer that is efficient, effective and even bullish when necessary.
Although my screen name and company name are anonymised, this review is based on true experience.
I highly recommend Daniel Chodos at Whitten & Lublin LLP to anyone seeking an employment lawyer. Daniel Chodos assisted me greatly with respect to employment termination to achieve an improved settlement with my former employer in the GTA; extended benefits coverage, a helpful letter of employment and good monetary compensation over and above his legal fees. Moreover, Daniel constantly demonstrated excellent knowledge and a high degree of professionalism allowing me to have full confidence in his handling of my situation. He provided me fantastic, timely support throughout the process and put me at ease about my situation, plus he was a pleasure to deal with. I was referred to Whitten & Lublin by a friend (Tina was her lawyer) and I would recommend them to a friend.
Jason Jagpal is an exceptional experienced lawyer that changed my life for the better. For over a year and half I was being harassed, bullied and abused at work by my boss. I felt vulnerable as I am a women of colour with a young child, many nights at home were ruined as I was stressed from the hostile working environment but this quickly changed when I got help from Jason.
Jason is a shield against terrible employers, the conversation I had with Jason helped me understand my options and by following his strategies I was able to protect myself. The results of his strategies effected change at work. I was able to continue staying in my job doing the work I love but not have to put up with being treated terribly.
If you are feeling hopeless please know that Jason can help you turn things around and make the employer accountable to rectify the situation, as you should not have to put up with demoralizing behaviour.
David Whitten came highly recommended by another senior lawyer and friend. He was extremely responsive and provided terrific insight in supporting my employment transition between organizations. With his advice, I was able to secure valuable adjustments to my new executive employment offer, and join this new organization feeling confident, secure and excited! Thank you David!
Losing your job is a difficult situation and even more so after 28 years of service. When I went to see Daniel Chodos I wasn't sure what to expect, I knew my severance wasn't great but with so many people losing their jobs these days I wasn't sure this was the right thing to do. Daniel was very confident on our position and gave a detailed outline of what we would be facing. He also offered payment options and went over a time line. Daniel always answered all of my emails and phone calls promptly. I have recommended Daniel to some of my former colleages if ever they need a lawyer in the future. In the end I was very happy with the outcome and am grateful to Daniel for making a difficult situation less stressful.
Stephen Wolpert at Whitten & Lublin handled my case. I cannot recommend him and his firm enough. Excellent judgement. Good communication. Patient with those of us who are new to such scenarios. I relied heavily on Stephen's expertise, I glad I did. His decision making was exemplary. He is pleasant to deal with, efficient and an excellent negotiator.
WE would like to thank Tommy Junho Hong. He has given my husband back his dignity, and respect. I thank you so much for that. You have worked hard to get my husband what he was owed, and the papers he needs to get on with our lives. As seniors it is hard to find someone to listen. But you did and helped us without regard to yourself. we will make sure that if we know any one that needs help, we will send them your way. Thank you again Tommy for all your help.
They took the time to take my call. They were always available to take an email or phone. Very polite and helpful. Also got the results we were looking for. Julian and Simone are the two who looked after my case and I highly recommend them. You won't be disappointed. Thanks again for your help and hard work.
Elline Low what can I say about her she represented my wife . What did she do . "NOTHING" . Stay away from this law firm her cost was almost $5,000.00 and we got nothing extra . They won't fight you . WARRNING stay away. ELLINE LOW is a fraud.
I had the pleasure of working with Jason Jagpal from Whitten & Lublin. I found the team to be inviting, friendly and knowledgeable. He went through my severance package with me and explained the pro s and con s. He explained the Ontario Labour Laws as it pertained to my situation and gave me options each step of the way. I never felt pressured to do something I did not want to and I really felt like the law firm stood behind me as I have never faced this type of situation before. Jason responded to all of my questions and concerns promptly. All documentation was reviewed and approved before sending to my former company. All of this made dealing with the law firm stress free. I was very happy with the outcome of my settlement and would highly recommend Jason from Whitten and Lublin.
I recently retained Simone & Julian to represent my interests relating to a severance. They acted in a professional manner and strategically addressed my issues and concerns with my former employer and negotiated a fair and equitable package. Both Simone & Julian worked hard on my behalf and I would highly recommend them.
I am truly appreciative of everything Marc Kitay achieved for me as well felt very comfortable with his client approach.
His unique customized management of my case was achieved through excellent understanding of employment law and his willingness to explain all aspects relevant to my situation.
As well, his ability to carefully listen to me and his patience throughout the process was demonstrated by his efficient adjustments in his course of action with respect to my particular circumstances.
I would highly recommend Marc Kitay for his expertise and versatile customer service.
They are the best employment lawyers I have spoken to. Athan Macrinos dealt with my case and I am extremely satisfied with his professionalism. He gave me the right advise, and got the settlement that I was looking forward to. I strongly recommend them should you ever need a legal advise on your employment situation. Thanks to the entire team along with Mr David Whitten who was present in my first meeting and assigned Athan to my case.
I dealt with Daniel Chodos, and what a great experience. He was quick to respond to my many questions, provided excellent advise and helped me quickly achieve my goals. I would refer all my colleagues to Daniel.
I contacted Whitten & Lublin after being served Termination papers at my corporate job as an Account Executive. I had several other lawyer referrals from friends but decide to talk to Whitten & Lublin first after reading their reviews online. The first contact was to pick a lawyer I felt comfortable with, I chose Ryan Watkins due to his level of experience and price per hour. I was a bit nervous going into the consultation meeting but Ryan's easy going nature, knowledge and ability to walk me through all the options made me feel confident he would represent my best interests efficiently. I signed with him at that first meeting! Throughout the negotiation period Ryan did what he promised, follow up and kept me informed but most of all negotiated a deal that I was happy with. My ROI for hiring a lawyer was well worth it! I have recommended Ryan Watkins and Whitten & Lublin to friends and will continue to do so.
I'm highly recommend this employment lawyer because they did excellent job for me. I had excellent communication with lawyer Simone Ostrowski, she is very nice people, I'm appreciated.
It was a pleasure working with Athan Makrinos with respect to my employment matter. Athan was always very responsive and provided solid advice. I would strongly recommend.
Daniel Lublin was recommended to me by a former colleague who had used him following termination from the same firm. I found Daniel Lublin to be an intelligent, well-spoken gentleman, very knowledgeable about the state of current employment law, what my options were. His experience with the former employer and how they operate was a definite plus in obtaining the outcome that I was looking for, without having to go to court. Thanks Daniel - I'd recommend you in future to any of my colleagues in need of your counsel.
Whitten & Lublin and Daniel Lublin in particular was recommended to me by a professional acquaintance as I was seeking professional support in a severance situation. Daniel was clear and straightforward in clarifying my rights and what it means to be fairly compensated when terminated by an employer. I was also given the opportunity to discuss and provide feedback on any communication with the employer and felt very well represented in the process. I therefore highly recommend Daniel Lublin and his team.
I have been working with Athan. He has been of great help to me. He is very knowledgeable and professional. I would recommend him to those in need. Great service!!
While job searching and meeting a few companies, I was presented with an offer contract that I had reviewed and clarified by Paul Macchione. His absolute attention to detail and knowledge of the industry standards as well as employee rights helped clarify, simplify and modify one sided (favoring employer) clauses within the offer. Not only during contract review, but also during the negotiations process, I received continuous support from him which resulted in attaining a more balanced and fair contract.
If you are seeking counsel for any matter pertaining employment law, Paul Macchione is the most reliable and honest lawyer on your side, shine some light on the situation and gain an otherwise hard to get insight into your rights, I highly suggest his services.
It is with great pleasure and outmost gratitude to provide a referral for Daniel Lublin, of Whitten & Lublin, Employment Lawyers. Daniel Lublin was instrumental in obtaining a positive resolution with my situation/case. Daniel was very committed and passionate with regards to my case and ultimately, I received and was awarded a much higher than expected settlement. Daniel would continuously reassure me to stay focussed and on track as his aim was to obtain a positive resolution, which would not only would vindicate me, but more importantly obtain a very modest payout to compensate for my wrongful dismissal.
I had initially met with two other law firms when deciding on who would represent me, and I am so grateful and beyond words that I selected Daniel Lublin. Daniel from inception was very reassuring, driven, and knowledgeable and I was very confident that my voice would be heard being represented by Daniel Lublin. I was continuously impressed and very proud to have Daniel by my side throughout every legal interaction, whether it was during the questioning period, the mediation or pre-trial dates, I was confident all would be positive. Daniel was Brilliant! Daniel was well prepared knew my case better than me, and strategically positioned questioning and facts to conclusively place me on top.
I would strongly recommend Daniel Lublin and his excellent team of lawyers to represent anyone who may have employment issues and concerns. I was so impressed with his assisting lawyer, Simone Ostrowski, who was also very knowledgeable, and worked very well together with Daniel. I am very grateful for Simone too as she is a true professional, and definitely contributed to my final success. Daniel surrounds himself with top lawyers, like himself who strive to WIN for those who have been dealt with a wrong sentence/judgement.
It is with great appreciation and thankfulness to Daniel Lublin, Simone Ostrowski, and the entire team at Whitten & Lublin, for my overall positive outcome. I would strongly recommend anyone and everyone to Daniel Lublin if you want justice to be served!
Recently I needed employment law advice regarding a severance. Daniel Lublin, from Whitten and Lublin was recommended to me, a court lawyer with a no nonsense reputation. As this was unchartered territory for me it was important I find counsel I could trust. After our first meeting I felt I was in good hands. Daniel asked me my concerns first and what my expectations were. He then told me the facts. Daniel understands emotions are high for clients at such a time but reassured me that the law and the facts are what win the day. He was right. In our first meeting we discussed fees and strategy. Daniel kept me informed at every stage of negotiations. There were no surprises, the fees were exact and the settlement as we expected. I have no hesitation recommending Daniel to anyone who needs employment law advice.
Daniel Chodos advocated on my behalf. His competence, reliability and empathy were greatly appreciated. I would definitely recommend Daniel - he made a difficult time more bearable.
Whitten & Lublin exceed my expectations. I am very satisfied with how Daniel Lublin was able to finalize my case seamlessly. I would definitely recommend this law firm.
If you work for decade in Financial Services (like me), chances are you will have new contracts and severance packages to review and I would trust no one else better than Daniel Lublin to give you advice on what to do with them. I experienced both situations with Mr. Lublin and can say that he distinguished himself by his professionalism and kind understanding of how stressful these situations can be for the client. he always made me fell my case was important - and it was important to me big or small. I trusted is advice, when it was time to skillfully negotiate and settle, and when he feel it was time to fight and use all the tools in his toolkit. When it comes to employment laws, hiring a tactful, professional and poise lawyer like Daniel Lublin is a no brainer - no one want to perform surgery on themselves after all...I am very grateful for his services and recommended him to many.
From my initial email to Daniel Lublin based on the article he wrote in the Globe and Mail, I was impressed by the clarity and the the speed of response from Whitten & Lublin. The guidance on the process over the phone with their team, the clarity on the fixed cost of the consultation, the speed in booking a meeting, the detailed email with instructions on all Daniels requirements, vis to have documentation in advance for him to pre-read so that we could spend time discussing my situation rather than reading the documentation; this showed a level of professionalism not seen from others I reached out to.
The advice and support Daniel provided in our consultation with regard to my employment situation specifically on simplifying clauses and spotting incongruity in the detail of the documentation has ensured a significant value in numbered tens of thousands of dollars was not overlooked. I was able to present these updates to my documentation with my company today. All points were accepted without exception and well received. I have been able to proceed forward to a successful conclusion.
Both Daniel personally and Whitten & Lublin are a credit to the profession, I was impressed. I have already recommended Whitten & Lublin to my friends for their employment advice and would not hesitate to recommend to any one else.
I requested Priya Sarin after a former colleague of mine recommended her. Priya was great. She helped to secure additional compensation from my former employer over and above what they d initially offered, all without setting foot inside a courtroom. Her legal fees were very reasonable considering the additional amount I received with my settlement. She works hard, responds in a timely manner and was good about keeping me informed during the process. I would definitely recommend her.
I was referred to Whitten and Lublin by a business associate of my husband. I was fortunate to be assigned Daniel Chodos to handle the review of the severance package offered by my former employer as a result of an internal restructure in late 2014. Daniel and his team handled my case with great professionalism and respect. The team kept me informed at all stages of the process and Daniel was always available to speak on the phone if I had questions or concerns. I highly recommend Daniel and his team and in fact have recommended several contacts to reach out to Daniel for his assistance.
I worked with Athan on my wrongful dismissal case and would certainly recommend him for any employment matters. He is a very smart professional. He took the time to explain all the ambiguities of our case, including all the potential risks and rewards. Our experience with him was very smooth and the end result for us was very positive.
I have been dealing with both Marc and Tommy and I am extremely impressed with them both. They have both been beyond helpful advising me on my case and how to proceed. They are extremely quick at responding to any questions I have no matter how trivial they may seem and notify me immediately of any changes or updates in my case. I used another employment lawyer years ago and honestly wish I had known about this firm at the time as I was extremely unhappy with who I used. These guys are amazing!
I was put into contact with Daniel Lublin by an associate who described Daniel as one of the top employment lawyers in Canada and invited me to read some of Daniel's articles from the Globe and Mail to give me an idea of who Daniel was.
I met with Daniel for an initial consultation the very next day (he was extremely flexible in hours and I spoke with him for the first time @ 7:30pm the evening before) Daniel asked me to describe my situation, listened intently and when he verified that I was finished began to replay my situation back through the notes he kept while I was talking. This was his way of back checking my points to ensure we did not miss anything. Once that was complete he walked me through each point to articulate my options, listened and responded when I asked follow ups and coached me to what I could expect in the near term and long term as a result of the circumstances I was under. He did not push me one way or the other just matter of fact gave me the options and told me to think it through before deciding what to do. It was that approach and the very informative way Daniel advised me that gave me the confidence to go through with a lengthy and very nerve racking period over 3 months. In the end we had a successful conclusion that I can say with 100% confidence would not have happened if not for Daniel and his team. I can think of at least twice over those very stressful months that Daniel had to "talk me off the roof" and reassure me that it would all be ok if I would just stay the course.
The initial comments by my associate that he was one of the best in Canada was certainly well founded. In my case I would not hesitate to say "Best in Canada".
Daniel I cannot express my thanks deep enough, Thank You!
I was seeking advice on a severance package I received and Julian Whitten was good enough to call me and review the details of my offer and explain my options in easy to understand terms. Ultimately it was decided that my offer was fair and that pursuing legal action likely wouldn't gain me anything extra. I appreciated that Julian was knowledgeable and forthright with me in advising that in my case I probably wouldn't benefit in going the legal route (even though it would have benefited Whitten & Lublin), which allowed me to save time, effort and money while being able to close this particular chapter and move on.
Daniel Chodos is an excellent lawyer. He was assertive in representing me and got the job done. What I appreciated most about him was his honesty and straight to the point approach. I would certainly recommend Daniel to others. Thank you and much appreciated.
I settled for far less than what I could of received. This firm missed some very basic aspects of employment law. It has since come to my attention that this firm uses google reviews as a marketing tool for their target market - one time former employees who they can leverage $5,000 plus fees. They did not advocate my situation at all but looked to collect on their fixed fee arrangement for a quick settlement. Go with a more experienced firm.
I was in need of an expert employment lawyer. I decided to approach the law firm Whitten & Lublin based on their reputation and I never regretted my decision. My experience with this firm was a top notch right from the beginning. I appreciated their professionalism and tactful approach since my very first contact with the firm. When I called in for the first time, I was patiently explained the process and I was offered several options for having an initial consultation with a lawyer. I made a choice to work with their senior partner Daniel Lublin. Before my consultation with Daniel, I was asked to write up a summary of my case, state my expectations and provide supporting documentation. I really liked this approach because the lawyer could familiarize with my case even before our first meeting. Daniel Lublin came well prepared for our initial meeting. He has already read my file, made his notes and during our meeting just asked me to clarify details from the written summary that I prepared the day before. Then, Daniel presented me with my options for me to decide what I want to do next. I made a decision to pursue one of the scenarios that Daniel presented to me and I signed a retainer agreement with the firm. Daniel from the first moment struck me as a resolute negotiator and I immediately felt confident knowing that from this moment someone had my back.
In the process that followed, Daniel always kept me informed about the developments and difficulties that appeared. Daniel would either email me or call me with an update. When I had questions for him, he was always prompt to respond. Daniel Lublin is a dedicated negotiator; his communications are efficient and to the point. What I also liked about him was the fact that he under-promised right at the beginning and actually over-delivered in the process, this helped to keep up a positive attitude. At the end, the result s delivered were to my great satisfaction.
If anyone from my friends or family would ever be in a need of employment law services, without a hesitation, I would recommend Daniel Lublin and his team.
What an amazing team I had the chance to deal with both Daniel and Jason, probably the best lawyers I had to deal with in Toronto. Two great lawyers very direct and straight to the point and their extreme diligence leaves very little room to confusion or grey areas, that s exactly what you should expect when seeking legal advice especially nowadays. Jason, is also an amazing listener he was extremely helpful with all his timely followup and extremely precise answers that make you sleep soundly. He really cares goes above and beyond, with him you are not just a file, only few layers make you feel this way. This is why I d say don t look any further! very knowledgeable folks and the best experts in their area. I ve been referred to you and without any hesitation will refer you folks in my turn. Thank you for such an amazing service, this also include the assistant Valentina she is great in what she does and preparing the meetings.
I had a dispute with my former employer over severance and overtime pay. I dealt with Aaron Rousseau at Whitten and Lublin and he was phenomenal! Highly recommend him. Very professional, he explained clearly all my options and was very open with me about the situation allowing me to make an informed decision. He handled my case excellently and was exceptional in communicating my rights, the laws and the procedures to me in a way that I could easily understand to make a good decision. Definitely worth every penny and I would not hesitate at all in recommending him. Only the biggest thanks, appreciation and respect to him - no hesitations in giving him my vote of confidence for anyone looking for an employment lawyer!
I found Stephen Wolpert to be extremely professional. While a lot of lawyers that you see on TV do not act or seem very professional, I found Stephen Wolpert to be very professional. Not only did he tell me what would be involved in my case, but also the pros and cons and the likelihood of the outcomes. You would think that a lawyer would be encouraging his clients to sue (as that is how they earn their fees), however, Stephen councils his clients as to the pros and cons, the likely costs of each option, the time frame and likely outcomes. I found Stephen's advice very valuable and his approach well balanced. I would highly recommend Stephen Wolpert to anyone who has an employment issue.
I am very grateful for having met David Whitten and the expert staff at Whitten & Lublin. I was previously exposed to a highly toxic work environment. It was an experience like no other I had ever been through in my life. After speaking with family, I decided the best thing for me and my family was to speak with a Lawyer. After reading several reviews on line about David, I called his office and booked an appointment to meet with him. My first meeting with David, he came prepared. He took time to review the information I sent him and to familiarize himself with my situation. He spoke to me in a language that I could understand and implemented a plan to help me navigate very stormy waters with my then employer. I am taking the time to write this message in hopes that you too will allow David to assist you with your matter. I highly recommend David Whitten and the services provided by his firm.
I recently had the pleasure of working with Tommy Junho Hong regarding an employment matter. He was very upfront and honest throughout the process. He is very responsive and always responded quickly to my calls or emails which in my opinion is very important. I would highly recommend Tommy to anyone looking for a great employment lawyer.
I would highly recommend services of Whitten And Lublin.
Excellent services I have received from Daniel Lublin. Daniel and Nida were great to work with. They responded quickly to all my concerns and always answered my emails promptly. Daniel is very professional and effective lawyer.
I am really satisfied on the way he handled my case. Everything went above my expectations. A+
I would highly recommend the Whitten and Lublin employment law firm. Both Daniel Lublin, and Tommy Hong are extremely knowledgeable, they took the time to gather all the relevant facts, and more importantly, they were empathetic and genuinely interested in helping me. In the end, they did in fact increase my settlement (as they suggested during the initial consultation). Thanks for your guidance and support!
Thank you Stephen Wolpert for your professional guidance through this past year. You were extremely detailed in explaining next steps and what to expect through out the process. Certainly helped lessen the anxiety on my end. Happy to put this situation behind me - and grateful for Stephen's professional expertise. Hopeful that his services will not be required in the future - but eager to share my experiences and recommend his services to anyone in need of legal representation surrounding employment law.
Ryan Watkins was the lawyer that I had an initial consultation with at Whitten and Lublin. I wanted to resign from my company but wanted to ensure that I was protected. First, the initial consultation process is great because it ensures that your time is used in the most efficient way possible. While I did not require the full hour, I am certain that the review of documents that was provided prior to the meeting was well deserved and kept my time to a minimum. Ryan Watkins is a very knowledgeable and attentive lawyer. He was able to provide advice and guidance to me that proved to be a very good for my outcome. I particularly liked his style of explaining the options that I had and coaching me to "work it out on my own." Not only that, I also found Ryan very approachable and generally a very likable person. I recommend Whitten and Lublin for your employment law needs and I highly recommend Ryan Watkins.
Dan and his team of associates, are responsive, attentive and genuinely care about making sure your issue is handled immediately and diligently. I highly recommend working with Dan directly for your first meeting.
I highly recommend Daniel Chodos from Whitten and Lublin Employment Lawyer. He is very honest, and knowledgeable. From the first consultation, he lays out clearly the possibility of outcome from my case. He explains what are the positive and negatives consideration for me to think about before proceeding. He is aggressive, very concise and precise. He follows up consistently, guides me with steps to take, and explains my options all through the process. He listens and understands the case precisely. I can not imagine going to settlement process without his assistance. Thank you Daniel!
I was represented by Aaron Rousseau who was very professional in handling my case. Aaron was extremely insightful especially during the consultation stage which prepared me quite well for my difficult situation. My case was resolved quicker than expected (less than 2 months) and we manged to get everything that we had sought after!
I highly recommend Aaron Rousseau and Whitten & Lublin, I would definitely employ their services again if required.
I worked with a lawyer named Athan and got a much better severance package than I was offered when going about it alone. Working with this team took a lot of the stress out of the situation as well.
I am writing this review in gratitude to Marc Kitay for his resolving my Voluntary Termination package in a favourable result, especially as he took over midway from another firm.
I was immensely impressed with Whitten & Lublin s professionalism and their efficient intake protocol when I first contacted the firm. You are offered a one and a half hour consultation with no obligation to retain the firm. The hourly rates are explained for each lawyer, as well as the fee for the consultation (I know this was money well spent, I received invaluable advice). On meeting Marc I was impressed with the detail in reviewing my documents that I had been asked to forward ahead of our meeting... as well as clarifying, and explaining my most practical options. I intuitively knew I would be very happy to have Marc resolve my package, which was done in a very expeditious and straightforward manner.
I highly recommend Whitten & Lublin and Marc especially, as your employment counsel.
Coming from a family of accomplished lawyers I was critical in my search for a top firm to assist me with a termination matter. We were fortunate to find Whitten Lublin through a peer reference within the legal community. I had already retained another fairly well known employment firm initially but was encouraged to get a second opinion. Luckily I did. I was blessed to be connected with Daniel Chodos whom immediately established a level of trust, expertise and integrity that convinced me his counsel would ensure the best possible outcome in my best interests. Of importance, and sadly absent in some lawyers, was Daniel's unbridled compassion, acknowledging and understanding the stresses and challenges of these situations, while still subtly nuancing the importance of the goals of the negotiation process. An effective communicator, always responding in a timely manner with a sense of urgency throughout the entire process. In my experience, his client centricity is unprecedented and not only deserves recognition but others would do well to emulate. I am not only an avid fan now, but will be ensuring all my employment contracts are reviewed by Daniel before I commit. Brilliant work Daniel !
Athan Makrinos was extremely supportive and responsive. He provided me with expertise, guidance, support and confidence, along with the successful resolution of my case. I didn't feel any doubt and knew I made the right choice with Whitten & Lublin under Athan's guise. Fees were exactly as described in our agreement. If you're looking for an employment lawyer who goes above and beyond and is professional and knowledgeable, Athan is #1!
I was recently laid off and talked to Julian just to be sure my severance package was fair. He was very helpful and answered all my questions in a polite and professional manner. I did decide not to pursue the matter further and he was okay with that too.
Whitten and Lublin was recommended to me by a friend and I met with Simone Ostrowski. She was understanding, timely and professional. It put me at ease to know that Simone was managing what was a very stressful situation. It is absolutely worth every dollar to know your rights, have representation and be fairly compensated when terminated from an employer. I would highly recommend anyone individual seeking legal expertise to enlist the services from Whitten and Lublin.
