It was a pleasure to work with Mr. Sack. He addressed my concerns promptly and honestly, and was always accessible when I had any questions or concerns. Mr. Sack worked both for me, and with me, keeping me abreast of any and all updates to my matter. I did not even have a chance to worry as he was always on top of every detail! His communication and organizational skills are exceptional. I wholeheartedly recommend Mr. Sack for all of your employment needs.

Steven Sack is great. I found him online and he’s worked with me on a couple of occasions. He helped me negotiate with my former employer and was able to get results. I highly recommend him.

I had a great experience working with Steven Sack during my recent job separation. He was incredibly professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely cared about achieving the best outcome for me. Thanks to his expertise, we were able to secure additional benefits beyond my original severance package, for which I am truly grateful. Steven guided me through the entire process with clear communication and support, making a challenging situation much easier. I highly recommend them to anyone in need of a dedicated and effective advocate!

Steve was amazing to work with. He is always available and follows up on email or phone calls immediately The process was fast and painless, and he helped me understand a number of things that I did not. I would recommend him highly, and he will be my sole source for employment law going forward. Thank You Steve!

Steven was reliable, straightforward, empathetic, honest, dependable and pushed for what I asked for in my agreement with my employer. I thought his prices were reasonable. I felt like I was in good hands throughout a terrible work situation. Highly recommend his services!
