Austin, we have a problem…read more.. In the field of employment law its no secret the deck is stacked in favor of companies. The US remains one of the least employee-friendly free countries in the world so looking out for your own interests can seem daunting and lonely. That's why you need the right help. I've used Ms Ward for employment advice and appreciate that she's factual and shares what she thinks might not be possible as well as what is. Too many attorneys are happy to string you along - provided you pay the appropriate retainer of course - and not tell you the reality about a proposed action you're considering. Ms Ward gives it to you clearly - as much as anyone can prior to litigation. When I seek counsel I look for experience, intelligence and empathy. Someone who sees the bigger picture, lays out options to consider and clearly articulates risks and likelihoods without a lot of emotional fear-stoking. That's why I'm happy I found her. If you think you might have an employment action on your hands, do yourself a favor: call Ms Ward's office.

He charged me an hour of time ($400) but definitely spent more time than that reviewing and on the phone with me, plus he told me to call him if I had additional questions.

I worked with The Kaplan Group for more than six months while navigating a challenging employment…read moresituation, and I consistently felt well represented throughout the process. My initial intake was with Austin Kaplan, who was exceptionally knowledgeable about the law but, just as importantly, provided clear, real-world insight into what I should realistically expect. He was direct, fair, and accurate in managing expectations, which helped me make informed decisions without feeling misled or overpromised at any point. Andrew Eckhaus and Madeline were both excellent to work with. They were responsive, thoughtful, and thorough, and I always felt that my questions and concerns were taken seriously. Their guidance was practical, well reasoned, and grounded in a strong understanding of the law. I also appreciated how easy it was to schedule meetings using their online system--it was efficient and respectful of my time. The firm's compensation structure felt transparent and fair, and I never felt pressured or price-gouged. Overall, I felt treated fairly and professionally from start to finish. The Kaplan Group demonstrated strong legal expertise, sound judgment, and a clear focus on serving their clients' best interests. I would recommend them to anyone looking for experienced and principled legal representation.

Thank you very much your help, Austin Kaplan. Through the hard and relentless work from you and…read moreyour team, we were able to come to a very favorable resolution with the opposing counsel and party. I highly recommend Austin Kaplan and his team. Unfortunately prior to engaging Austin Kaplan, I had hired a previous attorney from a separate firm. The other attorney was unreliable, did not return messages weeks at a time, was unethical, and was not helpful. The other attorney disappeared after I paid him a big retainer. However when I hired Austin Kaplan, he was a godsend compared to the previous attorney. He took over the case and got us on track immediately with the case. Austin is smart, prompt, very wise, extremely nice, gives good reasonable counsel, and he bills very ethically (unlike my previous lawyer). Thank you again for all your help, Austin. I consider him a great attorney and a friend now. It makes all the difference in the world which attorney and firm that you pick. Go with Austin Kaplan and his team. I will recommend him to all my friends and family. I would use him again in a heartbeat. He is worth every penny and more.

Jack has always been clear about his abilities and expectations with me and the outcome of our time together has been nothing short of beating my expectations.

His insight is invaluable and consideration unparalleled. Thank you, Jack, for all that you've done and continue to do for us.

He called me bright and early Monday morning, taking plenty of time to explain my options (and didn't bill me for the first consultation!) He then worked with to reach a resolution with the company I had signed an advertising contract with that had not delivered on their promises. His pricing was very reasonable, considering he saved me many thousands of dollars with the contract he was able to end early. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Thank you, Jack!

I am writing to formally express my deep dissatisfaction with the representation I received from…read moreMichael Balcezak at the Melton Law Firm. While I have the utmost respect for John Melton--whom I consider to be an excellent attorney--he turned over my case to Mr. Balcezak, whose handling of it I found to be negligent, unprofessional, and consistently lacking in diligence. From the outset, there were ongoing issues with communication, preparation, and follow-through. A particularly troubling example occurred on April 11, 2025, when I inquired whether the arbitrator's decision had been received. I was then sent a copy dated March 17, 2025--nearly a month earlier--with a note stating, "Attached is the Arbitrator's decision (my apologies, I thought Michael or John had already sent)." This was the first time I had seen the decision, and I only received it because I asked. This delay in communication regarding a critical document is unacceptable. This situation is just one of many. Other serious concerns include: Exhibit Preparation: Many of the exhibits Mr. Balcezak prepared were irrelevant or unused. Important records that should have been included--such as one meant to directly challenge a key testimony--were omitted. Closing Brief Miscommunication: I was told the information was included in a "closing statement." However, I later learned that arbitration only allows for a closing brief, not a spoken statement. I had asked repeatedly to review the closing brief before submission. Despite consistent follow-ups, I was not given the opportunity. Additionally, Mr. Balcezak agreed--without consulting me--to grant the opposing side nearly 60 days for submission. I was not informed of this extension until after the fact. Failure to Provide Critical Documentation: I only received a copy of the closing brief ten days after it was due--and even then, only after persistent follow-up. If I had not continually requested it, I believe I would never have received it at all. Inadequate Witness Examination: Mr. Balcezak handled most of the witness questioning, but repeatedly failed to ask the specific questions we had discussed--questions that were crucial to establishing facts in the case. Overall, I felt that I was not only inadequately represented, but also actively excluded from meaningful participation in my own case. Mr. Balcezak's handling of the matter caused me unnecessary stress, confusion, and, in my view, compromised the integrity of my case. On the night of December 6th, 2024, I provided an internal review as I felt that John wasn't aware of the situation, however, problems only worsen afterwards. I had no intention of posting outside the office. However, when things worsen, I felt I had no choice but to warn potential clients so they would not endure what I had to go through.

From the very beginning of the ordeal of fighting the insurance company Trevor was available, patient, and really took the time to explain all the milestones and what we should expect from the process. He fought for us and fought hard the whole way. We all received settlements that were several multiples more than we ever thought would have been possible! He was able to secure a settlement worth hundreds of thousands of dollars for us and I couldn't be happier! He gets amazing results that I have not seen from my experience dealing with other lawyers. I recommend him enthusiastically and without reservation.
