A consummate professional who secured my executive severance

After a contentious departure from a major financial firm, I was facing a complex battle over my executive compensation and non-compete agreement. Jonathan Ben-Asher was recommended to me, and from our first consultation, his 45 years of experience were evident. He meticulously dissected my employment contract, explaining every nuance with clarity. His deep specialization in representing professionals in employment disputes was exactly what I needed. Jonathan’s strategy was both aggressive and shrewd; he leveraged his profound knowledge of employment law to negotiate a settlement that not only protected my severance package in full but also significantly limited the restrictive covenants. His recognition in labor and employment litigation is clearly well-earned. Throughout the process at Ritz Clark & Ben-Asher, he was a steady, strategic partner. I felt completely confident in his hands and am profoundly grateful for the outstanding result.
