    Had an amazing experience with Mario Sankis. Not only did he win my case, he was the perfect mix of personable and professional. He made me confident in our case and what was being done, yet related to me on my case. I’m so grateful for him and his efforts! Thank you again, Mario, for taking care of me!

    Absolutely exceptional service
    Absolutely exceptional service. Had a consultation with Sarah, and although I have not made a decision on whether or not I will be utilizing this firm (or any at all), I was treated with empathy, compassion, and the utmost professionalism. Sarah encouraged me to think through the process before finalizing a decision and truly made me feel heard. The 30-minute interaction I had with her left me with a better understanding of my options and the possible outcomes of each. If you're considering reaching out, don't hesitate! Treated as a person, and not just a "potential client." Thank you!!!
    Melissa Reyes

    I couldn’t speak more highly of Carletta
    I couldn’t speak more highly of Carletta Traylor’s skills as an attorney. She handled my IDES appeal with ease and efficiency. She even had previous experience with the administrative law judge that heard my case. She was able to advise me about his style so I wouldn’t be thrown off with his detailed questions. I’m so grateful for all of her expertise and would highly recommend her.
    Bobbi Felix
    Truly a Pleasure to Work With
    Sarah was truly a pleasure to work with. From our very first conversation, she made me feel comfortable, heard, and genuinely supported. I spoke with several attorneys before making a decision, but Sarah stood out immediately. She took the time to address all of my concerns with patience and reassurance, which ultimately gave me the confidence to move forward with her. As someone who had never hired a lawyer before, this experience could have felt overwhelming, but Sarah made the entire process feel manageable and even empowering. I’m incredibly grateful for her guidance and professionalism. If you’re looking for an attorney who truly cares and advocates for you, ask for Sarah. You’ll be in excellent hands.

    A Great Experience in a Difficult Time
    Working with David Fish from Workplace Law Partners has been nothing short of a great experience. Even though this was one of the most difficult times in my life, I knew that I was in good hands the first time I spoke to David. I knew that he was going to fight for me and what was right. He is extremely responsive (no matter the time of day or night), thorough, attentive, and genuine. David was there to guide me through every step of this stressful process and reassure me that no matter how hard everything seemed, it was all going to be ok. I can't thank David Fish enough for helping me get through this difficult time in my life.
    Melissa
    Patient and Knowledgeable Attorney
    My attorney, Mario Sankis, was both patient in listening to my case and knowledgeable in suggesting a course of action. I appreciate his presence at my hearing and Workplace Law Partners providing their services at no charge. Otherwise, I would have been flying solo on this matter.
    Glenn Brown
    Attorney Amina Jaffer Was Awesome
    Attorney Amina Jaffer was awesome!! She helped me with my IDES case from beginning to end with positive results. I can't thank her enough for fighting for me. I almost gave up, but she encouraged me to keep fighting. Thank you so much, Amina Jaffer; I wouldn't have been able to do it without you.

    Carletta Traylor was amazing! She knew how upset I was by the situation, and she was very reassuring and walked me through the process.

    Outstanding Assistance and Legal Advice
    Mario Sankis was very helpful and provided outstanding assistance and legal advice for my unemployment case. He was patient, attentive, and took the necessary time to understand the details and complexities of my unique situation. He provided guidance and reassurance throughout the entire process.

    Highly Recommend for IDES Appeals
    I worked with Attorney Danielle Soheil and would highly recommend the firm for unemployment insurance cases pertaining to IDES appeals. She was patient and thorough when faced with huge amounts of paperwork and helped me comprehensively prepare ahead of my hearing date. Without Workplace Law Partners' help, the chances I had of winning my case would have likely been greatly diminished.

    Mario Was So Helpful in My Case
    Mario was so helpful in my case and provided loads of reassurance that was backed by his experience in helping others like myself!

    I Highly Recommend Mario
    I found Workplace Law Partners after being denied my unemployment benefits after working for my employer for 8+ years. I received a phone call from lawyer Mario Sankis who, from the moment we started talking, I could tell he was a kind man. Throughout our conversation, he calmed my nerves and assured me that my case was valid and he would do everything he could to be successful so I could receive the benefits that State Farm wanted to withhold from me. My hearing is Tuesday, and I’m confident Mario is the best attorney for the job! With his help, we will win my case. I highly recommend Mario!

    I'm Really Impressed
    To be fair, you could say I'm biased — this is my brother. But I hope you'll hear me out. David has a really keen sense of fairness. He's helped me out when I was getting financially abused — in situations that most of us would just have to walk away from. David understands the law very deeply, on so many levels, that as a layperson I would have just been lost. He's calm and smart. He's open-minded and creative in his approach. He'll give good advice and let you make your own decisions. I've had the opportunity to work with David twice now, and I'm really impressed. He's also just a good guy. I'd try to work with him if you have the opportunity. I don't know the rest of the firm personally, but if he's running it, I'm sure you're in good hands. Good luck!

    Common Questions
    • What is the role of HR in employment law?
      The HR department manages various employment law compliance issues, including hiring, training, employee relations, and benefits administration. They address workplace grievances and enforce policies. For employees, HR serves as a resource for resolving disputes. HR professionals must ensure the organization complies with relevant employment laws and regulations.
    • Are employment laws different by state?
      Yes, employment laws can vary significantly by state. While federal laws set minimum standards, states may have additional protections, such as minimum wage levels, leave policies, and discrimination protections. It's vital to understand both federal and state laws applicable to your workplace. Consulting an employment lawyer knowledgeable about local laws can provide clarity.
    • How does one handle workplace discrimination?
      If you experience workplace discrimination, it's important to document incidents and communicate concerns with your employer or HR department. If these steps don't resolve the issue, consider contacting an employment lawyer for advice. They can guide you on filing a claim with the appropriate governmental body, such as the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), or pursuing legal action if necessary.
    • What should I know about employment contracts?
      Employment contracts outline the terms and conditions of the working relationship, including job responsibilities, salary, duration, and termination clauses. Review them carefully before signing. If unclear, seek clarification or advice from an employment lawyer to ensure you fully understand your rights and obligations.
