I was looking for an attorney to protect my rights against discrimination and retaliation in the work place. After many phone calls and phone interviews with to several attorneys, all efforts seemed like a dead end. Through my friend and mentor, God led me to Attorney Mark J Berkowitz. I have never felt so secure having Attorney Mark as my attorney to represent through what might be a lengthy process. As an Electrical Engineer, with an MBA, I appreciate and benefitted from his laser focus on what is relevant information to the filing. He drafted all relevant complaints, filings of discrimination in an expeditious manner. We are not near the end of the process, I feel very secure in his competency, patience, and his accessibility and returning phone calls same day. He met with me on a holiday when the courts were closed. That is how dedicated Attorney Mark Berkowitz is. I highly recommend attorney Mark J. Berkowitz. I want him to represent my case as we navigate the process.
A great help to those clients that really need help with difficult cases, very considerate and fair attorney with great experience.
I had the privilege to have Mark represent me during an employment discrimination case. Mark is very knowledgeable of the law and procedures. I would highly recommend (and I do very often) Mark legal services.
After I resigned from the company I was employed for and opened my own business my former employer unjustly accused me of breaking a non-solicitation agreement. Mark was able to negotiate a settlement that allowed me to keep my new business open and gave me the proper guidance to steer clear of future problems. I believe Mark is very well versed in employment law and I would reccomend that anyone having work related issues, to sit down and have a consultation with him.
I have used the services of Mr. Berkowitz on two occasions and I find his attention to detail and knowledge of employment law to exceptional. I would not hesitate to strongly recommend him to prospective clients.
