TL;DR: I highly, highly recommend The Finkel Firm if you’re looking for the best legal team to fight for what you deserve. More details below. I first reached out to The Finkel Firm regarding an employment-related case, at a time when I was uncertain whether pursuing legal action was the right decision. I remember feeling so much anxiety and pain from what had happened—but from my very first call with Jake Finkel, the owner, I immediately felt a sense of reassurance. Jake was kind, understanding, and confident that his team could help me find a path toward resolution. After taking some time to think, reading reviews, and reflecting on my conversation with Jake, I knew that if I was going to move forward, this was the firm I wanted by my side—and I’m so grateful I made that choice. I was then assigned to the incredible Sheryl, the main attorney on my case. Sheryl is deeply knowledgeable, meticulous, and truly passionate about fighting for her clients’ rights. She took the time to walk me through every step of the process, answer my endless questions, and make sure I always understood what was happening. As someone completely new to the legal world, that patience and care meant the world to me. I also want to give a huge thank you to Jasmin, the firm’s litigation assistant, who worked tirelessly behind the scenes to help organize documents, manage communications, and keep everything on track. Her responsiveness and compassion made such a difference throughout this process—she was always there to make sure I felt supported and informed. Going through this case with The Finkel Firm has not only been incredible from a legal perspective but also a deeply personal journey of healing. They were able to help me heal from what I thought would be one of the hardest chapters of my life thanks to their combination of legal excellence, empathy, and dedication. If you’re ever in a situation where you need strong, compassionate, and truly capable legal support, I wholeheartedly recommend The Finkel Firm.

I had a great experience with Jake, Sheryl, and Jasmin. Everyone was kind, supportive and communicative throughout the whole process, plus I got more than I was initially expecting. I would definitely recommend the Finkel Firm to anyone needing legal help.

The Finkel Firm is exceptional! They took on a very challenging case when others wouldn't. As I faced silencing and threats, they stepped in and I could breathe a sigh of relief. From start to finish, they provided exceptional legal representation and genuine support. My attorney Gene Feldman was not only brilliant but has a heart of gold. Edwin took care of every detail and they both provided amazing support throughout the entire case. Ali, the “the closer” Ali was a phenomenal negotiator. They all took the time to understand my situation, fought tirelessly on my behalf, and achieved a very positive outcome. Not only did we prevail, but they validated my experience and gave me back my voice. Jake Finkel is a man of high integrity who stood behind his promise to see this through to the end. He has put together a truly incredible team of individuals, each with a unique skillset which is what I think makes them different. I highly recommend them to anyone seeking a firm that is not only talented but truly cares about what is right and just. Highly recommend!

Unfortunately I had to seek the services of an attorney. After much research and reviews I called the Finkel Firm. I was not disappointed in my decision. Sheryl Marks is wonderful. She would very thoroughly explain to me what the laws are, she would go over several possibilities that could happen with my case. She prepared me for everything and then some! Jake Finkel is amazing also. He was very compassionate and thorough. I felt protected and comfortable with the two of them handling my case. I could tell that they truly cared about my outcome. It wasnt just about winning, it was about righting a wrong. I wish I could give this firm more stars.

10 out of 10. An unbelievably efficient, trustworthy, and hardworking Law Firm. Had a situation with a former employer, and ended up going with the Finkel Firm despite other offers for representation -- this feels like one of the best decisions of my life. Thank you to Donel and Jake for stewarding me through this harrowing situation, and for empowering me to both understand and contribute to my case. They fight for you, without making you feel like you're in a fight.

Atty. Eugene is truly a disability champion! From the very beginning, he encouraged me to fight for myself and for what is right. As someone going through their first lawsuit, I was nervous and unsure, but Edwin, his assistant, patiently explained every step of the process. Atty. Allison was also amazing—she fought hard for what I was entitled to and never backed down. I honestly can’t say enough good things about this team. They are compassionate, professional, and relentless when it comes to advocating for their clients. If you’re doubting or unsure, don’t be—just contact them. You’re in the right hands!

I had the privilege of being represented by Eugene and Edwin in a wrongful termination case, and I couldn't have asked for a better legal team. From the very beginning, they fought hard on my behalf, ensuring that every detail was addressed and that I was treated fairly. Their commitment, professionalism, and tireless effort resulted in the best possible outcome — a settlement that far exceeded my expectations. Eugene was relentless in fighting for justice, and Edwin did an outstanding job keeping me updated every step of the way. They always made sure I understood what was happening and what to expect next. Their communication, honesty, and dedication made a difficult situation much more manageable. I highly recommend them to anyone in need of legal representation — especially in wrongful termination cases. They truly care about their clients and will go the extra mile to get the results you deserve.
