Lichten & Bright

I highly recommend Dan Bright as an attorney. My experience was that he was thorough, patient, professional, and fought for my interests. He educated me about the process without being pedantic, so my anxiety was quelled by virtue of understanding the risks throughout. He is absolutely worth consulting on your labor issues

I was referred to Dan in 2014 to assist me with an employment matter. Dan is a person of integrity. He listens to his clients and gives excellent advice on all types of employment issues. I would definitely recommend Dan and his firm. If I would ever need assistance in the future for any employment related issues Dan would be the first person I would call. Thank you Dan for your excellent service.

Stuart is a real professional. I was very unsure about how to handle my situation so I came to him with a long list of questions. He listened patiently and answered them, quelling my fears and making me feel confident about moving forward. Not only was the settlement more than expected it was also paid out within 4 months. I was expecting it to take at least a year. Thanks to Stuart I was able to finally leave a toxic environment and get the money that was rightfully mine.

I had the great pleasure of working with Dan on evaluating an employment agreement for a position and he was simply a joy to work with. Direct, analytical, experienced, and passionate perspective that he brings to the table, walking me through in detail the points to consider and how the language/​provisions affects you legally was very invaluable.
Dan was basically my main legal advocate, helping me understand the the languages in layman terms, and was very patient/​sympathetic for during the process. He’s a very caring lawyer, attentive and responsive!
I highly recommend Dan to anyone who are evaluating employment contracts e.g. non-​compete agreements, to make sure that everyone is a) aware of what they are signing, b) know the consequences of what the implications are and c) know what your rights and options you have during the process.
Again, many thanks Dan for the great assistance and counsel!

I started working with Daniel Bright a year and a half ago in regards to a sexual harassment case with a former (nationwide) employer. From the initial phone call I knew he would be an amazing lawyer. Daniel listened to my complaint without interruption, and not once did he ask for payment or cc up front. He spent almost 2 hours the phone with me and was extremely helpful. He spoke in a language that I could understand and was very straightforward when discussing possible reimbursements and winnings.
On top of being an excellent and knowledgable lawyer, Daniel is a genuinely good person. I put my complete trust in him and had no doubts that he would do the right thing. Dan also took the time to talk to me whenever I had questions, without hesitation. On a personal note, he spent time calming me down and reassuring me of our position when my former employer got ugly and the case took an aggressive turn. On a professional note, he did not let the bigger law firm intimidate us or get away with attempting to bash my credibility. He is aggressive when need be, and completely informed and prepared to take on any obstacle presented to him.
Daniel Bright stood behind me and represented me in the absolute best light. His knowledge of the law is unparalleled and he not afraid to take on bigger and more aggressive companies. Not once did he lead me down a crooked path. I am happy to say that my case was settled this week with an awesome outcome, all due to Daniels diligence.
I highly recommend Daniel Bright for anyone looking for a trustworthy, intelligent and caring lawyer in NYC.

I couldn’t be more happy with Stuart Lichten. He was thorough and professional from the start. He negotiated a settlement that was better than I could’ve hoped for. If you are being bullied by a greedy boss, this is the guy to call! I’m extremely grateful

Daniel Bright is hands down the best employment lawyer in NYC. My case was complicated and required a ton of research, preparation and back and forth communication with a huge law firm that did everything possible to delay the case and make both of our lives difficult. In the end he was totally prepared, aggressive when I needed him to be and was much more on top of things compared to the big law firm that was hired by my old company. Making the decision to pursue legal action against a previous employer is scary and confusing and at times you might loose faith in the system. Dan explained everything, always took my calls and answered all of my emails. For sure I made the right decision hiring Dan.

Daniel was very helpful, efficient and straight to the point. I appreciated his ability to discuss a complicated issue in language I could understand. Thanks!

Wish I met them earlier. They are reasonably priced and extremely nice. Taking a lot of stress away as I deal with my very mean employers. Having worked with them. I’m going to have them review all my employment contracts and termination agreements from now on.
I’ve been scared to hire a lawyer because it’ll be expensive and going to cut into my pay. I’ve been so wrong! Employers put plenty in contracts that protect them and we should protect our rights as well!
As mentioned, they are reasonably priced and worth every penny. You don’t need a 6 figure salary to make their services worthwhile.

I had a couple of questions about terminating my employment with a specific company. I filled out a form on their website and Dan Bright got back to me within 24 hours. He answered my questions in a way that I could easily understand. His advice gave me the confidence to negotiate with the employer. I am thankful to him.

I just recently met Daniel to discuss a situation related to an executive position and employment agreement. I was a bit concerned this company only dealt with union type worker situations but was pleasantly surprised to learn he had a lot of insight and advice related to my situation.
Other attorneys I inquired with would not even listen to me without asking for a credit card first and even then acted like they are doing me a favor. I resent that kind of attitude of some attorneys.
I recommend talking to this guy if you are entering into an employment agreement, ending one and want to know your rights, or for general employment law advice.
Daniel was nice enough to meet with me and get a general understanding of my situation. He was easy to talk to and willing to help.

Never imagining I would ever find myself in a position to need a lawyer, I was very glad to have found Daniel Bright. He is personable, extremely attentive, always quick to respond, more than fair with his fees, and spent more time with my case than I would have expected. I have a relative who is a well-​respected lawyer in another state, and Dan always had the same information and insights about my case as my relative, which made me feel very comfortable and confident in the work Dan was doing for me. I hope I don’t have to deal with any more legal issues, but if I do I will definitely be calling Lichten & Bright!

I was looking for some quick business-​related legal help and they delivered. They took the time to listen to my questions and give thoughtful answers. Much appreciated!

Mr. Bright gave me solid advice when I needed it. I found this firm through Unilocal.Nice to see a helpful attorney who isn’t only after $$ for once. You can rest assured this firm won’t take you.
Thank you Lichten & Bright!

Probably the most tenacious labor/​employment lawyers in the country. If you have a good claim, they will handle the matter professionally and thoroughly. They have represented major unions as well as the little guy, and have a long list of wins.

I worked for a company that was taking tips from their employees. This law firm handled the settlement against the company quickly and efficiently with great results for myself and fellow co-​workers. I would absolutely recommend them for all legal matters.

I recently was owed money from a previous employer. Lichten & Bright came to the rescue and it was the most painless lawsuit experience ever, seriously. They’re supposed to be long and drawn out and hairy and there’s supposed to be frustration and waiting and anger… but no. This firm is great. They fight for you, do the research and you’re almost completely hands off. All I needed to do was respond to their delightful office manager who was fast, professional and easy to work with and then open my mailbox for my retribution money. Beautiful.

These lawyers represented me and some fellow coworkers. The settlement was reached quicker than I thought, in just a few months. Cant complain, I would use them again if I had any problems. Ive called them up a few times for unrelated concerns and they have answered all my questions no problems. They are a small firm so you get that personal attention. The only downside is the office is in Midtown East– no good food around there!

I recently received a settlement in which Mr. Lichten was the attorney for. The settlement was for backpay and tips. I cannot disclose too much information because it is private but I have to say this Lawfirm was great to work with. If and when I had any questions or concerns Stuart always answered them in a timely fashion. I’m very happy with the settlement and would recommend this firm to anyone who has any labor related cases. You can even call them if you have a question, its a small firm and they always are available.
