my attorney review Eric Panitz helped me through my employment related case. He reviewed my case, then accepted it. He helped me prepare for every occurrence that might be possible, such as preparation for depositions, mediation, and trial. He prepared me for what to expect in any given situation that might occur. He made very clear what his expectations were of me and my case so I always knew where I stood. He was helpful and knowledgeable. I would certainly recommend him and use his services again if I needed them.
