It was clear to me almost immediately that Jeremy was someone with deep legal knowledge and experience, who understands exactly what it takes to win a case. I found Jeremy to be generous, efficient, highly strategic, and quick to respond. If you work with him expect a direct, concise, and no-BS style of communication. He's a kind person with a great sense of humor, but he also won't allow you to waste his time (and won't waste yours either) -- a great quality for a lawyer to have tbh.

Mr. Pasternak, you did not keep your scheduled telephone appointment with me. You did not bother to…read morecancel or explain. I do not understand why you have so many positive reviews because they do not reflect my experience with an insensitive and arrogant person. Moreover, you lack wisdom. You assume that because the potential client's salary is not high that the case is not worth your time. You are wrong. I am thankful that you did not take my case because I did very well without your assistance.... justice prevailed and I don't need to share my win with you. It's been a learning experience for me. I now understand that for lawyers, it's all about money and that reviews are not reliable.

I was referred to Gomerman Bourn & Associates by another law firm after experiencing employment…read morediscrimination, retaliation, and lack of accommodation following a work-related injury at a large academic medical health system. From the very beginning, communication with the office was excellent. The office assistant, Salma, was responsive and helpful, and attorney Anthony Tartaglia provided outstanding representation. Maria Bourn also oversaw my case and was involved through the process. I communicated in detail and at times I was concerned that I might be providing too much information. Anthony welcomed that communication and reassured me that sharing too much information was always better than leaving out something that could be important to my case. That level of care and concern gave me a great deal of confidence throughout the process. The guidance, communication, and representation I received from Gomerman Bourn & Associates were excellent. As a result of their efforts, the university medical center agreed to provide some accommodations before we moved forward with litigation, although litigation remains an option if necessary. I highly recommend Gomerman Bourn & Associates to anyone seeking knowledgeable, responsive, and dedicated legal representation. I am very grateful for the support and guidance I received from Anthony Tartaglia, Maria Bourn, and the entire office.

Salma was full of information about what to do, expect, and how to proceed was terrific. She wasn't pushing any agenda and asked some great questions. She felt my pains and was matter of fact.

Arkady represented me in a wrongful termination/civil rights violation case. Specifically it was a…read morereligious and political discrimination case. It was a 4 year long battle and Arkady never gave up on me even though at times it appeared there was no light at the end of the tunnel. The employer had 3 well paid attorneys vs. a lone Arkady so it was a David vs. Goliath situation. You may think you are looking for an attorney to do all the work for you but you really should be looking for a good partner that you can brain storm and collaborate with because each industry is unique and each industry represents a different set of challenges that your attorney may not be familiar with. A good case is built on a good partnership between you and your attorney. Arkady quickly got up to speed in my specific niche industry and we formulated a plan of attack specific to my unique situation. In the end Arkady helped me build an amazing slam dunk case and negotiated a wonderful settlement 1 month before our jury trial was scheduled to start. I was so grateful with what he did for me and my family that I named my son after him.

I will definitely recommend their firm to anyone looking for legal advice. Thank you for being the voice I needed.

I rarely write reviews anymore and almost never write bad reviews at all…read more The background -- I am an enterprise salesperson working in a high tech industry. I had an issue where my company was withholding a large sum of commission, probably somewhere in the ballpark of ~$200k. When I reached out to Minnis & Smallets, I received a prompt response to my inquiry that I was not a client they wished to represent -- was not even granted a brief call with an actual attorney to explain my situation. They literally have an entire page on their website (too wordy btw) devoted to NON-PAYMENT OF COMMISSIONS. So, I'm very curious as to what level of compensation issue cases they are handling if they have the privilege to turn down a probable six-figure judgment in my/their favor...? Oh, and the woman I spoke to was very inarticulate as to why the representation was denied, which was also odd. Bad experience and am happy to go elsewhere.

I was referred to The Hackett Law Firm by Dylan after by another firm and choosing them was one of…read morethe best decisions I made. Dylan was incredibly professional, responsive, and on top of everything from day one. He helped me navigate a difficult business conflict, stayed on top of every phone call and detail, and put together a strong defense that ultimately resulted in my case being dismissed. I truly appreciate all of Dylan's hard work and dedication throughout the entire process. I highly recommend The Hackett Law Firm to anyone looking for excellent legal representation. They truly go above and beyond!

I worked with Dylan for nearly two years on a very complex employment case, and I cannot recommend…read morehim highly enough. From the very beginning, Dylan brought a rare combination of intelligence, empathy, and integrity to every step of the process. He is exceptionally sharp, deeply strategic, and also genuinely human. He took the time to explain things clearly, answered questions patiently, and stayed consistently communicative throughout a long and emotionally demanding legal journey. What stood out most to me is that Dylan truly cares about people. He intentionally does not work with large corporations, and that value shows in how he practices. He understands how ugly these situations can be because he has seen the other side, and he uses that knowledge to protect his clients with thoughtfulness and precision. When it came time for mediation, Dylan was outstanding. He handled it with calm confidence and skill, and he was able to navigate the process in a way that prioritized my well being while still advocating effectively. I felt supported, informed, and safe the entire time. Legal matters like this are not just technical, they are deeply personal. Dylan never lost sight of that. He stood by me for the entire duration of my case, and I will always be grateful for his professionalism, compassion, and steady presence. If you are looking for an attorney who is brilliant, ethical, and genuinely on your side, Dylan is someone you want in your corner.

She was quick to respond to my inquiry, wise and efficient in gathering data, and when she realized I wasn't going to be the best match shared a referral and provided guidance on engaging the referral. Perhaps, most importantly, when I expressed a sense of giving up, Ms. Armstrong stopped my self-doubt and, with kindness, told me to advocate for myself and my rights. Advice: Start with Ms. Armstrong and her firm. You will not be disappointed. You will be empowered.

That information shouldn't have to be a result of multiple follow-ups with misinformation. Still not a great experience but appreciate the effort of the business owner attempting to rectify it.

From the moment I found Hoyer, Hicks & Gage and retained Ryan, however, I felt that I had a steady and trusted advocate by my side. Ryan was an experienced, professional, reliable, and incredibly supportive attorney throughout this difficult and complex legal matter. Throughout the case, Ryan and his team carefully guided me through a complex legal matter and helped me navigate potential pitfalls. Ryan helped me understand the importance of preserving relevant evidence and making thoughtful, well-informed decisions at each stage of the process. Having an attorney I could trust and rely on for both legal guidance and practical advice made a tremendous difference during such a challenging and stressful time. One of the qualities I appreciated most about working with Ryan was his transparency and genuine respect for my decisions. He clearly explained my options, the potential risks, and his recommendations, while always respecting that the ultimate decisions were mine to make. I never felt pressured to take a particular path. Instead, he listened to my priorities and worked with me to pursue a resolution that reflected my goals and choices. Thank you, Ryan and the Hoyer, Hicks & Gage team, for helping me bring this difficult chapter to a close and move forward with my life. I am deeply grateful to have had Ryan as my attorney. I would highly recommend Ryan to anyone looking for an attorney who is knowledgeable, dependable, transparent, supportive, and, most importantly, genuinely respects his clients' choices and priorities.
