Phillips & Associates, Attorneys at Law, PLLC

I recently had the opportunity to work with the professionals at Phillips & Associates and was very pleased with their work! Bill, Marjorie & Brittany were all involved in discussing & addressing a wide variety of issues that ran the gamut from one end of the legal spectrum to the other. They were all enormously helpful in moving the issues forward to a successful conclusion and I was very pleased with the outcome.

When ever requiring legal assistance you want someone you can trust. And that’s what I found here. Lead Council Marjorie M. is absolutely amazing at what she does. Not only did I find Marjorie and her staff trustworthy but they had my back every step of the way. Full transparency, honest answers, support, and a caring environment. They really showed a passion for assisting those who have been taken advantage of and or discriminated against. If you’re looking for professionalism at its best, look no further, because here I found NYC’s best! Thank you again to Marjorie and her amazing team!

Hey guys! Another review for guys for you to read! I wanted to speak to you about this Law Firm that I worked with. I absolutely LOVED working with them the whole process through. I know most law firms or companies aren’t typically good with this, so I was pretty amazed at how persistent and strong communication skills they had with me the whole process through. Casey, My lawyer called me immediately every time he had an update. Even if it was a small update, he called me! I would highly recommend going here for any kind of legal issues you may have questions about. In the beginning, I was udderly afraid of going through anything legal. Every question I had was answered. I am glad to say that I am completely satisfied with the service that was provided for me.

I would recommend Steven Fingerhut to anyone in need of employment law services. Steven consulted me and showed a lot of patience, knowledge, and understanding. He is someone I trust and people like him are tough to find.

Any time I have an employment-​related legal question, I ask Casey. Not only does he give me thoughtful, well-​researched answers, he also advises me on how to best approach the situation. I highly recommend you reach out to Casey for any of your own, your colleagues’, or family and friends’, employment legal concerns.

I have reached out to Phillips & Associates, specifically Marjorie Mesidor, for legal counsel on more than one occasion. Ms. Mesidor’s approach to servicing her clients is to listen first (which believe it or not has not been my experience with most attorneys), ask specific questions, then provide swift and direct recommendations. She is a clear communicator and explains all possible outcomes. I have always left meetings or calls with her feeling very informed. Though she is the ultimate professional, she manages to be warm and caring at the same time. I highly recommend Phillips & Associates and Marjorie Mesidor.

I’ve had the pleasure to work with Nicole and Dorina, and I must say they were great! They were very understanding and kept me up to date with my case :) Lets just say they care about their clients!

I have nothing but the best things to say about Marjorie Mesidor. I affectionately call her «the beast»! She has a breadth of knowledge and expertise. More importantly, she is committed to seeing you through your issues, no matter how long it takes! Whether it’s negotiating with an opposing party or simply reviewing a contract, Marjorie’s first question was always the same: what is our end game? Once she knows what YOU want, she devises a strategy from there to work in your best interest — always! She’s honest about what you can expect, can explain nuanced issues as plainly as you would like, and is patient and sensitive all the while. She’s brilliant, and I would not go anywhere else if something else came up for me. As cheesy as it sounds, even my mom has consulted with her!

Professional!!! Nicole Welch assisted me in a claim and was very swift professional and knowledgeable. Nicole always keep me informed every step of the way and believed in me. She is fresh and witty and I am overjoyed that she represented me. Not only was she very professional but very empathetic and showed great passion.

Last Spring I needed help with sorting through paperwork I was receiving from a former employer and subsequently an offer from a new employer. It was a lot of legalese and I was not comfortable moving forward. Marjorie Mesidor at Phillips & Associates broke it all down for me and gave me the information and the confidence I needed to make the right decisions. Everything turned out great and I would recommend her to anyone who needs help negotiating and navigating the mountain of paperwork companies throw at you!

I went to them with a work discrimination case. Sat with an attorney for a couple of hrs, telling my story and him going over things to make sure I had a good case. We agreed I did. But when it came time for my opponent’s lawyers to talk to mine, there was a different lawyer from this firm, who never talked to me before at all. When opposing lawyers «said» a couple of things (i.e., lies), this lawyer turned on me, said I had no case at all. Firm dumped me. Not long after, I came across the term «settlement mill», referring to law firms that make a living from no-​brainer cases. These firms will no way in H fight for their clients. The last thing they want is to actually go to court. If any resistance to demands are encountered, they run. That means if they like your case, you could likely do it yourself and not let them take their big fee. I’m giving 2 stars because the attorney I spent time with seemed sincere and took that time. But my overall experience with them is that this is a settlement mill. They were of no help to me at all. I wound up going the pro se route. If I can’t trust myself, who can I?

What’s better than a free consultation? This is the firm that will do that for any employment related issues!

I recently called upon Marjorie Mesidor who is a leading attorney at Phillips and associates with respects to a new employment contract that I was contemplating to join one of New York I-​banking firm.
Upon an initial review of the contract Marjorie was able to guide me and advise me on the best means of protecting myself an an employee at will with the firm.
With her guidance I was able to protect myself and protect my career to efficiently and effectively make an educated decision regarding my next career moves.
I have recommended Marjorie to several other family members and friends alike who have used her services and guidance when it comes to matters relating to employment law.
I found dealing with Marjorie to be very informative, she is through and quite knowledgeable in her trade and very honest straight to the point and very sharp !
She’s the kind of attorney you want on your team representing you at all Times !!!
She is simply one of a kind and a master at her trade by far

I had the pleasure of working with Ms Marjorie Sharpe and recommend her to anyone for matters in employment law and discrimination. She knows her stuff and always makes time to make sure I understood what was happening and was comfortable in what she was taking care of on my behalf. She is relentless and unwavering, a powerhouse really. She’s recently appeared as a legal expert on news segments about employment rights and modern day discrimination issues! She’s amazing and you’ll feel secure in having her handle your case. Again, I’d recommend to anyone! If she can’t assist, you will be referred to an associate who can.

Never again I trusted this law firm to assist me with the harassment at my place of employment back in April– 2015, Overall they did nothing to help me. CASEY, the attorney to handle the case did no kind of Investigation. Here it is a couple of months later and I just got laid off. The harassment is on going

Very very nasty people. They work for more their benefits then yours. They did not update me on my status of the law sue while it was in action, yelled at me while I was emotionally unstable, and when I received a settlement they did not mention that taxes were not deducted and ended up owing 40% of my settlement all together to the IRS and the state of NY.
He did not help me when I had questions after my case was closed.
The exact words I received were «You should ask google»
Very immature and after I posted a review he was very nice and answered my previous question and asked me to delete this.
I WILL NOT!
I was screwed over, the lawyer was not on my side, do not hire these people!

Phillips and Associates, especially Marjorie Sharpe, guided and competently advised me during a very difficult time of my life and career. During my initial meeting with the head of my former employer’s Anti-​Discrimination Committee, I was extremely emotional and was unable to exercise sound judgment due to the hostile work environment that I was subjected to. During this meeting, Ms. Sharpe was assertive, attentive, poised and persuasive as she presented my position and allegations. Thankfully, Ms. Sharpe was able to settle an agreement with my former employer and I am very pleased with the end result. With that said, I highly recommend Phillips and Associates, especially Ms. Sharpe, as legal counsel if you are being subjected to any form of discrimination in the work place. Going to work is hard enough, no one should have to be subjected to nor tolerate such shameful behavior.
