I don't know where to begin to express my gratitude to Zalkind Duncan & Bernstein LLP and more specifically Attorney Monica Shah. I contacted Attorney Shah after many months of trying to resolve an employment issue on my own with no success. The saying “see something, say something” doesn’t always work when you make your own efforts to remedy a wrong-doing in the workplace. I’d spoken to a handful of attorneys before Ms. Shah about my issue and she was the only one that put my mind at ease about my situation; She was confident, sympathetic to my issue, and most importantly, extremely knowledgeable about my rights with respect to the law. The moment I hung up the phone after my initial conversation with her, my instincts told me she was the best attorney to represent me to resolve my issue. I am so happy that I listened to my gut and hired her!
Being involved in legal matter is draining emotionally, physically, and not to mention financially. There were so many times I wanted to give up and walk away from the matter all together. Attorney Shah was very patient with me during these times, and reminded me that the best results usually take time. She encouraged me to press forward with confidence and in the end she gave me the best possible counsel, and she fought very hard for me. Every penny in my retainer was worth it to work with this dedicated law firm and this amazing attorney who never gave up on me.
I hope I never have to recommend a friend, colleague, or family member to seek legal counsel (I never thought a I would have to). But should I ever hear of anyone dealing with a situation similar to what I dealt with, I know who to recommend! I cannot thank Attorney Shah and Zalkind Duncan & Bernstein enough for believing in my case and working so hard for me. If you find yourself in an employment-related situation where you know you’ve been mistreated and your legal rights violated, don't hesitate to reach out to Zalkind Duncan & Bernstein!
