Defense vs. Threatened Legal Action over Non-Compete Agreement

When my former employer lost a contract, as an employee who worked completely on commission, I was no longer able to earn a living. I sought alternative employment in my field, and was forced by lack of response from other employers to take a position with the only firm that would employ me, a direct competitor of my former employer.

As a result, my former employer threatened legal action to enforce a non-compete agreement. John's personal demeanor and up-front fee-for service, rather than straight hourly billing, approach let me know that he would be working on solving my problem, rather than figuring out how he could add billing hours. When the first option we pursued failed to alter my former employer's stance, John counseled me on the best option to take to prevent my former employer from getting the upper hand, and costing me a significant amount of money.

I am happy to say that, because of the actions we pursued, my former employer backed off, and issued a statement indicating that they would not pursue further legal action. While the actions we took would have resulted in arguing a case in court, I was able to avoid it, and achieve the result for which I had retained John.

I am very happy with John's knowledge, his candor, and the way in which he enjoys representing the 'little guy' against corporations which may not always be acting fairly.

I would be happy to recommend him to anyone I know in need of an employment lawyer from the employee side.
