I was referred to James Meehan at Walden Macht Haran & Williams when a former employer threatened legal action over a non-compete agreement, jeopardizing my new role. From our first consultation, James demonstrated a command of New York employment law that was immediately reassuring. He meticulously analyzed my situation, explaining the nuances of 'Labor and Employment Law - Management' from a strategic defense perspective. His recognition by Best Lawyers was evident in his approach—he was not just reactive but proactively built a compelling case regarding the agreement's overreach. James navigated negotiations with a perfect balance of firm professionalism and pragmatic counsel, ultimately securing a favorable settlement that allowed me to move forward without litigation. His four years of focused experience yielded results that felt far more seasoned. For any business professional facing employment-related challenges in New York, James provides exceptional, clear-eyed representation.
