Alan Lescht & Associates PC

Katherine Lease was such a great resource and I am so grateful I was able to work with her during my conflict at work. It's never easy being falsely accused of wrong-doing and I still can't believe my former employer got away with so much of what they did, but the difference in the way I was treated by the investigators was night and day once I had Katherine Lease representing me. She was understanding and knowledgeable about my situation and also made sure to push back on the investigators when they tried to get me to sign documents without having a chance to read over them. This past year was hard for me, but finding a lawyer like Katherine reminded me how valuable the work lawyers do is and how important it is to stand up for yourself. Thank you Katherine, your support during this whole process meant more to me than you'll ever know.

I was discriminated against by my employer and found myself in need of a quality employment attorney. Alan Lescht & Associates was recommended to me so I called. Alan Lescht is the managing partner and is a quality individual. He’s an honest guy and I strongly recommend his firm. Ms. Nekeisha Campbell joined my case after it began however, you would not know it by her performance. She took the time to study the case facts and within a month or so she knew them as well as I did. Throughout the lengthy process, Ms. Campbell was very aggressive and proactive and always fought to move my interests forward. She knew the process, law and her depth of knowledge on employment issues was astounding. Her broad range of experience really shined when dealing with my employer during every aspect of the process. She was very responsive, explained the process, timelines, policies, procedures, caselaw etc. so I always knew the best path forward. She’s an experienced litigator and will fight aggressively to ensure your legal issues are resolved in an appropriate manner. I strongly recommend Alan Lescht & Associates and more specifically, Ms. Campbell as she’s the best attorney I’ve ever worked with. In addition to being an outstanding attorney, she’s a quality person who cares about her clients and puts their interests first. I’m grateful that Ms. Campbell represented me and if you need a quality, professional, skilled, experienced litigator for employment issues, call Alan Lescht & Associates and ask for Ms. Campbell.

I contacted Alan Lescht after experiencing sexual harassment and retaliation at work. The firm promptly took my call and set up a consultation with one of their partners - Ari Wilkenfeld. From the start, I felt comfortable sharing my experience and received excellent legal advice and moral support throughout the entire ordeal. I really appreciated that Ari was able to keep up with rapidly changing situation - he quickly responded to me and set up calls to discuss the best path forward with very little notice. He was also conscientious of the fact that I do not have a bottomless wallet, did his best to keep costs affordable for me, and honestly laid out potential financial obligations that would arise from the various legal paths open to me. This made it much easier for me to accurately analyze my options and the risks that came with them. My legal cases dragged on for the better part of 7 months but I always felt supported and like a priority for Ari. Even when it looked like we were going to have to change our definition of "winning," Ari let me take the lead in the decision as to what that win would look like. In the end we won both of my cases and - importantly to me - I retained the ability to speak about my experience. I hope to never have an experience again that requires an employment attorney but if I do, I'll contact Alan Lescht and Ari Wilkenfeld again.

This a great firm and it started with them being the only firm that would take my case. I am a 68 year old, who was discriminated against for my age by the Government agency I had worked for for more than 37 years. Alan took my call, did a consult, saw my case for what it was, and took my case. Katherine Lease was my assigned attorney and she was awesome. Katherine is extremely intelligent, dedicated and articulate. From beginning to end, she always kept me well informed and never tried to B.S. me. The agency I had worked for thought they had their bases covered, but Katherine; through her research and well articulated arguments made them realize they were wrong. If you need a really good labor attorney firm, Alan Lescht and Associates, PC is the place to go.

I hate doing this but at the end of the day 600.00 was provided on my behalf and I really didn't get anything in return. First time my initial consult was 300.00 and I was only told to submit my EEO complaint before time ran out. I did this came back and paid another 300.00, I spoke to another attorney who at first stated he wouldn't take my case and really not say why. He later he then decided to take my case and requested I pay 7,000 plus in six days. With this he only offered help with a written appeal verses requesting an administrative judge. When I asked for more time that was not an option. They wanted the money but the appeal processes didn't even start yet. Also, when I asked to speak to the counsel who contacted me via legalmatch. I was then told that my offer was revoked and to contact him. I have dealt with other attorneys on other matters and never dealt with this type of treatment or service. 600.00 is a lot of money to pay for very little service and communication. Also it is my money paying for services, do I not have the choice for whom I wish to deal with? I was just asking for feedback to be communicated and what is lacking in my case. I am disappointed that I had to pay this type of money to be treated this poorly. I do know that legal assistance is expensive at best, but I didn't know that you have to almost assume you are being offered free favors despite you paying for very little service.. I wouldn't recommend this firm for this very thing it appears that the attorney in question that I dealt with saw that I asked for a favor rather than a service.
