If you ever find yourself needing an employment lawyer, I highly recommend EFLL & Jonathan LaCour. Entering a legal matter is never an easy process but Jonathan LaCour makes sure he walks you through every step of the way. I started a business relationship with Jonathan in May and these have been the most pleasant months of my life when I should have been drowning in stress. Jonathan gives you a glimpse of hope that everything will be okay, and so far everything he has done has been far more than what I had expected. He makes sure he walks you through every step of the way, always checking in with you to let you know every small move that has been made, breaking down documents into lamen's terms and ensuring that you are up to speed. He's always there to answer every email and every phone call. When things start to go south, Jonathan is very aggressive and makes sure to always come out on top. Recently, I had an after hours incident regarding my case, I really had to speak to him so I sent him an email, and he called me immediately from his cell phone at 11pm to walk me through the situation. Before I chose to go with EFLL I had consulted with 10 different firms about my case, and they all said they had a lot of research to do and weren't quite familiar. When I called EFLL Jonathan very quickly broke down every aspect of my case and backed it up with laws and facts that ensured I had a strong case. Within 24 hours I signed a retainer and the rest is history. Going with Jonathan was a no brainer and I have already highly recommended him to my close family and friends. Jonathan was the best thing ever that has happened to me! read more

I don't normally write reviews but I just had to share my experience with you. Jonathan and Mina are absolutely the best! I found Jonathan through Yelp after a couple of attorneys had already been rude and turned down my case. I was terminated at my former employer for reporting to management that they weren't paying overtime and that they were forcing some of our employees to skip lunch or work during lunch. I was so upset because I felt like I was doing the right thing. I met with Jonathan at his office, it was super nice and luxurious. I felt like when I was there I was important. We went through my case, I showed him my emails and within a few days he had already drafted the complaint. I know that sometimes I need more help than normal. I called Jonathan maybe 15 times but he was always very helpful, even talking with me at 7 and 8pm sometimes. He was always very quick and did exactly what he said he was going to do. We filed a case and they ended up begging us to help settle. Of course Jonathan made them go to a mediation and we were able to settle for over my annual salary. Jonathan, thank you so much for your help. You are a shining knight. You are on the way to be one of the very very best lawyers! read more

I would like to thank Jonathan and staff for the great experience we encountered while handling the case of a very good friend. I have dealt with many law firms but Mr. Jonathan is by far the most polite and professional lawyer I've ever seen. At the beginning of the case, my friend and I had many questions, Mr. Jonathan took the time to explain to us every little detail about the case and possible outcomes truthfully. Several times Mr. Jonathan returned our calls late at night when we had questions. As expected, he responded to every email and phone call we had questions and concerns about the case. We were informed and always on the loop on the progress of the case until the case was closed. In addition, the settlement went very smooth with no issues. Thank you once again on doing a great job. I would highly recommend Jonathan LaCour and his friendly staff, which by the way are bilingual. read more

I am so grateful to have been referred to Jonathan LaCour by a family member to handle my case. His impressive background of knowledge and expertise in the field of employment law was just what I needed. He worked hard on my case throughout the entire negotiation process until the case was successfully settled. He was extremely attentive and was always available via telephone and/or email. I appreciate the dedication he had for my case. Several times, I got so worried about my case to the point where I had to contact him late at night. He always responded and was very brief and assertive on his answers. Communication, expertise and availability is what set apart Jonathan LaCour from other firms. The case was settled successfully and I am extremely happy with the outcome. I highly recommend Jonathan LaCour for any labor related matter. read more

After researching employment attorney, I choose Jonathan at Employees First Labor Law, so I decided to email and wait to hear back from them; to my surprise, Jonathan called me back within 2 hours on a Sunday afternoon. I was impressed! I found Jonathan and his staff to be experienced, responsive, and knowledgeable. Always professional, sticking to the facts that have a legal basis, no fluff. He clarifies the law, is upfront and honest about where you stand and what your options are. He is always on top of his game, whether it be answering emails or returning calls. Although we didn't get the outcome we intended I believe Jonathan was always working with my best interest in mind. Thank you, Jonathan, Jessica and Lisa, as always I value and appreciate your time spent on my case. Best to you all. read more

I found this law firm just like you did after seeing all of the good reviews. Believe me, it would be an understatement to say that everything here is true. You will know this right away. Mr. LaCour is amazing. I contacted them in the beginning to get a sense of my case and whether I actually had a claim. They took their time and were sensitive to my situation. I had a workplace incident and I was terminated. We signed a retainer in September and we settled the case early this year. The matter was very sensitive with very serious allegations. Throughout the entire time I felt like Mr. Lacour was attentive, and available. That he had my best interest at heart. He wasn't in a rush to settle and take on another case. He put in a lot of time and effort for me and I am so happy with the result. read more

Where to begin, my former employer was a mad house, where employees were subjected to yelling and weren't paid overtime and even given all of their breaks. I called Mr. LaCour's office when I finally decided to call it quits and find a new job. That place was too toxic. He was able to get me all of the back overtime that I worked, plus penalties, plus costs, plus even more. I was shocked, and am so happy that we are able to put this behind me with some money in my pocket and my dignity in tact. If you are even considering calling this firm, do it now! You won't regret it. I always felt like Mr. LaCour was 100% on my side and had my best interest at heart. Let me tell you, this has been an ordeal and what he was able to do was exactly what I hoped for. read more

My former employer was going through financial difficulties and was unable to pay what I had earned. After threatening to quit and starting to look for work elsewhere, I was recommended to search Yelp for an attorney to help with my case. Mr. LaCour was incredibly quick to respond. By the following day, the company was notified of due payment and my case was settled in less than a month. I could not recommend Mr. LaCour's work more highly. Should anyone find themselves in a similar situation, he's the one to go to. Thank you Jonathan and Mina for helping me with my case, you were a pleasure to work with. read more

I had an issue with a final paycheck from a prior employer. Weeks had gone by and I still had not gotten paid, even though I was already terminated. Jonathan and Natalie were both extremely patient with me, thoroughly informed me of all the labor laws and the penalties that were available for unpaid final paychecks. Unlike prior experiences that I have had, Jonathan actually answers telephone calls rather than divert his clients to a paralegal. Tremendous customer Service! I highly recommend this law firm as they were able to resolve the case, settle the matter without having to file a lawsuit. read more

I can't thank Jonathan enough for his help on my case. He fought for me like it was his own personal fight. The thing that stood out the most is that he is a fighter like no other.

In all my life, I've never come across someone who is so energetic and passionate about fighting for justice and what is right. I called and consulted with all the big name attorneys before making a decision. None of them come close to Jonathan. He is on another level and one of those special individuals you might see once in a lifetime. read more

I was looking for some guidance regarding an employee agreement with my new company and Mr. LaCour was wonderful! I emailed him the agreement and amazingly within a few hours, he responded. It turns out there were a couple things included in the agreement that could have allowed the company to possibly take advantage of me, but Jonathan was quick to point those out and recommended some adjustments. If you have an employee agreement that sounds sketchy, give them a call and they'll get back to you very quickly. Thank you Jonathan! read more
