I had a really long ongoing dispute issue regarding Labor Law issue with a Security company going back as far as 2016 until 5/2019. I was originally with another law firm but it was to complex and needed someone who specializes in this area. I also got the hint it wasn't a big enough of a case for them as well. So they referred me to Labar Adams. I left a message and got a call back from a lady by the name of Judy Cane. I met her at the office and prior to that based on the emails I gave her she dug right in and literally within a few hours she could CLEARLY see what the other big branded law firm couldn't grasp. I was amazed and relieved and impressed and happy someone confirmed I wasn't crazy as I am really good at math. I loved how she took it all in stayed in touch I met with her on 3 different occasions. Did a lot of emailing back and forth. She is very busy so calling her does work but you must remember you are NOT the only client. She will respond even if it takes a few days. I had to do a LOT of waiting but not because of Labar Adams office, the Security company just was NOT cooperating waiting for the last minute for every thing including responses. Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years went by, and then I get the call from Mr. Labar himself. The company insulted us with an offer to settle, and quite frankly after hearing everything I too was insulted by the offer. I loved loved loved how Mr. Labar put it, and was aggressive pursuing the matter. He gave me advice and I made the decision, and it was placed into action. Then they (security company) got stupid and wanted to go to Federal Court. Yep, we followed through without backing down. Now they wanted to settle before a court date was placed, and today I got the email my check has arrived. I am happy this part of my life is over, but more so I am happy Mr. Labar, and Judy Cane were on my case, and could see what 2 others couldn't and dug into it even though it could of easily been passed up.
Some simple things some people should know when you decide to come here:
1) Be open, honest and show EVERYTHING
2) Patience. If it's not life threatening, life altering have some patience. I had to wait through 3 holidays and a non-responsive cooperating company. It takes time, but a nagging customer is one they do NOT have to take or accept. Patience is key. This means call maybe once every 2 weeks, email once a week. You are not the only client, and there are other cases. This is ESPECIALLY true if your dollar amount is low. They too have bills. It's gotta be worth their time.
3) It's not about what you know BUT what you can PROVE. Remember this.
I took this matter on because it was NOT about the money. It was the principal of the matter. They tried to play me for a fool. They kept putting it off. I didn't need the money. I wanted it, but didn't need it. When you pursue this assume you wont get it or don't rely on it. That way when you do, you are happy and if you don't you are not financially in a hard spot. I did this to show others (ex-co-workers) there that they too can fight for what is rightfully theirs.
Lastly One thing I loved between the two is Judy has this positive energy and very detailed outlining all the numbers and hours. Mr. Labar has this energy as well but he breaks it down in good ol' plain English and is aggressive. I couldn't help but think, "glad I'm on your side" cause I would hate to be on the other line against you. He tells you his plan and that's that. I got in and out of the office in no time. It was amazing. I have had longer consultations that were not fruitful and useless yet here its in and out. What took the other firm 10+ months and accomplished nothing they did in 14 months and kept me informed on everything.
Mr. Labar and Ms. Judy did a wonderful job and was great in communication. I totally recommend them and wouldn't hesitate to use them again if needed. read more
