My firm was experiencing a major expense reduction and my position was to be eliminated. There was a meaningful discrepancy between what I believed the firm's obligations were to me and the firm believed their obligations to be relative to severance. I initially engaged with Scott Oswald as he reviewed the merits of my position. Subsequently, David Scher assumed responsibility for advising me and interfacing with the firm. The dynamics of the conversation changed immediately upon Dave's involvement and we had full resolution on primary terms within three weeks. Both attorneys were professional, knowledgable, responsive and very effective in a negotiation environment.

I highly recommend David Scher and The Employment Law Group (TELG) for labor and employment matters. From the outset, he served my interests in a very timely, professional and knowledgeable manner. David is always prepared for opposing counsel's next move. Working with Scott Oswald, the two are a formidable team that protects their clients interests, along with strong involvement and support of the firm. David's skilled handling of my case and cool head led to an out of court settlement early in the litigation, enabling me to save tens of thousands of dollars in upfront costs and possibly two years of litigation and appeals. He along with the team at TELG are to be commended for their commitment to professionalism and protection of the rights of the everyman and the everywoman, who find themselves facing discrimination and retaliation, or other unlawful acts, by employers who believe they can violate the law with impunity. David and TELG prove them wrong!

Dave worked on a case for me and he was excellent. I am honored to know him. He was very efficient and professional at all times. I trusted him hundred percent and I was right. He also helped me to put my life together during very difficult times when the case was active.

Thomas Jefferson once said that, "The Tree of Liberty must be watered, occasionally, with the blood of patriots and tyrants." When a citizen finds themselves abused and attacked by a powerful and wealthy organization that tramples on their rights, ignores the constitution and due process; and does so with the arrogance of the powerful and the financially secure the individual can feel isolated and afraid. David Sher, R. Scott Oswald and the Law Employment Group are patriots. The Law Employment Group is willing to use their considerable expertise, knowledge and resources to close distance with the cooperate drone and fight for the rights of the individual. David Scher will not allow himself to be intimidated or distracted from the issues and the rights of his client. If you find yourself in a similar position you can have no better ally.
