  • Phenomenal Trial Attorney

    “One thing I liked about Axelrod & Associates, LLC: Gene Axelrod has over 40 years of experience in employment law. He is a phenomenal trial attorney in employment law cases. It is obvious. He has the experience and success in countless cases over the years. It was not surprising that Attorney Axelrod and his team handled my case so professionally. Both Attorney Axelrod and Cynthia took the time to answer all my questions and to find out as much information about my situation as possible. It was obvious that each case they handle is different-they do not take a “one size fits all” approach in any way. They make decisions based on you-the client, and really listen to you to find out about your situation. This really sets them apart from other law firms.”

    “I approached Axelrod & Associates LLC because of a disturbing incident at work. My goal was to get justice to prevent this situation from happening to any other employee in the future.

If my case came to that, we knew that Gene Axelrod would be the very best attorney to represent me.”

Anonymous Endorsement

When the company that had employed me for more than 30 years closed with little advanced notice, life suddenly became scary and confusing. Fortunately, a friend suggested that I seek the advice and assistance of a law firm experienced in employee termination matters, and recommended the Axelrod Law firm. I’m so glad that I took my friend’s advice.

In my first conversation with Attorney Eugene Axelrod, he listened to my concerns, asked me a number of key questions and suggested that I call him in a few days to allow him to research the specific issues related to my situation so that he would know exactly how best to proceed. The next time we spoke, Attorney Axelrod explained how he would handle my case, what to expect, approximately how long it should take to negotiate the best possible deal for me, and what he would charge for his services.

I was impressed with Attorney Axelrod’s competence, his carefully reasoned approach, his willingness to spend lots of time in preliminary discussions with me to help put me at ease, and the very fair and reasonable fee he would charge for getting me the best deal possible.

He was always responsive, kept me updated with how things were going, and finally was able to substantially increase my severance package. Essentially, he turned what began as a nightmare into a period of hopefulness that finally ended well. I would enthusiastically recommend the Axelrod Law Firm to anyone facing a difficult employment or related issue.
