Everyone at the firm was well-informed, they fully outlined the process and its challenges and and more importantly demonstrated genuine compassion towards my particular situation. Working with both Deborah O'Rell and Jack Tuckner, I appreciated their honesty, practicality and transparency throughout the entire negotiation and legal process. I highly recommend the firm to anyone seeking honest and fair representation from an expert attorney.
I went to Jack Tuckner with very little hope. Upon reviewing my documentation, Mr. Tuckner offered expertise and a way forward. I learned over time that he has an incredible amount of experience, and I cannot imagine the number of lives he has impacted. I wonder if he even knows how important his work has been to his clients! Thank you, Jack. His colleague Deborah is both caring and incredibly sharp. In addition to the work of the case, they also understood my psychology in suffering discrimination (much better than I do), so I learned a lot from them, and I've tried to pass that knowledge to others in my profession. I am forever grateful.
There are not enough words to describe just how great of an attorney Jack is. He aided me in a desperate time during my pregnancy where I experienced pregnancy discrimination. He guided me through each and every step, gave me the confidence and strength to push through the experience, and in the end I not only got my job back but was compensated for the time I had lost due to the pregnancy discrimination! I was desperate and he always made himself available to me whenever I needed him- you will not find just any attorney who would do that for you (including late evenings). He was patient, caring, and kind but also fierce in making sure that my employer was very much aware of what they were committing. I am forever grateful and thankful for what he has done for me and deserves the highest of recommendations for the services that his firm provides. Thank you Jack.
Over the years, I have referred numerous employment discrimination matters to Mr. Tuckner and those referrals were all completely satisfied with his efforts and the results he achieved. A superb lawyer who gives all he has on behalf of his clients.
I am very appreciative of my time as a Legal Intern at Jack's firm, Tuckner, Sipser, Weinstock & Sipser LLP. After graduating college, I embarked on a quest to find the most substantive legal experience necessary in order to commit to a future career in law. My internship at Jack's firm is one of my proudest accomplishments, as I now have a renewed motivation to hopefully apply to law school one day to emulate some of the work Jack has accomplished in the women's liberation front. Jack's door was always open for advice, and could span from topics such as how to draft an appropriate demand letter to what sort of path to take once I apply to law school, and beyond. Jack and his team provided a fun yet challenging work environment, and I truly believe that his firm has reinvigorated my interests in public service and civil rights. Hopefully I can return one day as an attorney to work alongside Jack and his incredible team.
Jack Tuckner is a superb attorney. He is passionate about civil rights and genuinely cares about his clients. He takes out the time to make sure his clients know exactly what will happen from the beginning and to answer any questions along the way. His office team is also very helpful and well informed. He is a clear communicator who exeeds expectations when handling a case. I strongly recomment Jack Tuckner as an attorney.
Jack Tuckner is very knowledgeable on his subject; he strikes a good balance between applying the law and finding the best commercial solution. He genuinely cares about people but also is not averse to considering cases on the basis of what is right for the business and the risk that it presents. I personally found him to be a huge source of knowledge and support, which in turn enhanced my own professional development. Interning for Mr. Tuckner was a wonderful and educational experience.
Jack is an expert in his field and was an asset in every way. I thoroughly enjoyed working with him and am thankful for his commitment, compassion, and integrity. He and his team provided an excellent support system.
Working for Jack Tuckner has been the most rewarding experience in my professional life. I have immensely benefited from his most able guidance and presence which have been instrumental in letting me grow as a legal blogger, as an open source technologist, and above all, as a human being in quest for community knowledge and participation. Jack is an outstanding proponent of social justice, an exemplary feminist, and as a leading women's rights attorney, he is every bit as remarkable as his long list of clients gladly affirm. As a legal scholar, he is matchless. As a community activist, he is inspirational. And as a trend-setting champion of women workers' rights, he is relentless. I am fortunate enough to be associated with the truly progressive law firm he leads, and am deeply indebted to Jack for allowing me to know him as my employer, friend and philosopher.
I'm an employee rights attorney representing women facing workplace hostility as a result of pregnancy discrimination, sexual harassment and all other forms of gender inequality.
As a former Bronx public defender during the worst of the crack years, I spent 10 years becoming adept at hand-to-hand courtroom combat (with a notable 80% acquittal rate), and as a civil rights lawyer, I can still wow 'em and win 'em, taking a million dollar jury verdict in a sex discrimination case in federal court (see cases).
Yet I know from long experience that the judicial process bears little resemblance to its silly and fun depictions in film or on TV shows like Boston Legal (though my wife loved the show and the portly James Spader character who reminded her of me). In reality, years of expensive and protracted court battling is often not in a client's best interest.
I prefer to keep my big guns locked, loaded and at the ready, in the event that litigation warfare is inevitable (and to keep pressure on the adversary), but with a view toward negotiating a reasonable and just resolution for my clients, involving either a continuation of their employment until and unless they choose to separate, or a crafted severance strategy, like a negotiated divorce, if this workplace marriage really can't be saved. Imagine how sweet swift justice can be when you stand up for yourself and speak truth to power, before riding off into the sunset for a new start after making a difference in your workplace. That's where I derive my best professional satisfaction, actually connecting with clients and their unique challenges, and empowering them to make a difference in their lives by standing up for themselves, fairness and equality.
If the terms or the conditions of your work feel different or degraded for you because you're a woman, which includes gender pay disparity or any form of sex-based hostility at work--in addition to problems caused by your pregnancy, maternity leave or unwelcome sexual advances of any kind--contact me and let me know what's going on, and do it before they place you on a performance improvement plan, or before they fire you. I'll answer your question or concern personally, so please don't delay.
Most of my clients are in New York but I also represent numerous women throughout the US, including a current sex harassment case in Alaska (goose down suits in court anyone)?!
I love my clients, and when you consult with me as your as counselor-at-law, I'll speak with you no differently than I would if I were speaking with my cousin Rita or my good friend Nancy calling me for advice, as I genuinely derive great enjoyment and satisfaction from making people feel heard, seen, understood and vindicated—that’s what people want and need—that’s what I want and need from any professional I consult--so that’s what I strive to do for all my clients at all times. It’s sort of my holistic thing, the client comes first, and she's way more than the sum of her legal problems. And my clients tend to love me back.
Contact me here with any women's workplace rights questions, or call me at 212.766.9100, and if I'm not immediately available, call or write to Deborah O'Rell, who'll schedule a time for us to chat on the phone or in person. Don't wait until you're behind the 8 ball to act.
And one more thing, if you're considering taking some kind of action against your employer for discriminatory treatment against you, whatever else you do, remember, don't quit!
