After being terminated from my employer abruptly and unexpectedly for false accusations, I was lost and confused. I had never been fired before, nor had I ever been accused of the things they accused me of. They were quick to try to get me to sign a severance agreement that waived all of my rights. I did a quick search for an attorney and came across Mitchell Katine. I sent in a contact us form on his website and he immediately contacted me. The initial phone conversation was genuine and not rushed, and ultimately he asked me to bring all of my documentation into the office so that I would be able to show him what was going on. Though I was dealing with lack of income during the holiday season from being out of work, I knew I needed guidance and needed to spend the money. Best $250 I had ever spent on a consult.
When meeting with Mitchell, he took his time to get to know me and the issues that came up. He reviewed the severance agreement they gave me and provided his opinion on how to proceed but ultimately let me make the final decision with the facts of how to approach this situation I was in. After we came up with a game plan of how to handle the severance agreement, Mitchell offered to handle communicating the change requests to the severance agreement with my former employer's HR team. When they did not answer and sent an email to me about contacting their attorney, Mitchell stepped in and took the lead on handling it all for me. He did not stop helping even through the unemployment filing process. Every time I had a question or a thought or just needed some guidance, Mitchell was available by phone or email and was very quick to respond.
Mitchell truly cares about his clients and his community and it shows. He not only went above and beyond what I originally paid for to help me out, but he also took the time out of his busy schedule to learn about me. He helped me understand what was happening and helped me plan how to get back on my feet with health insurance and unemployment. He's not just an attorney, he's an amazing person who wants to help those who need it.
I would highly recommend anyone who finds themselves in a situation where they feel burdened or overwhelmed to reach out to him. You'll find his personality infectious and his desire to help will give you reassurance that despite the negative you're going through, there is still positive people in the world. He will definitely be the person I will always turn to and have in my corner when I need him.
THANK YOU SO MUCH MITCHELL! read more
