Passman & Kaplan Pc Attorneys At Law

I hired the law firm of Passman and Kaplan to represent me in a disability discrimination and retaliation case against a Federal Agency. My case was very complicated and last about two years (ended in 2012). The attorney was very knowledgeable about EEOC law and their experience was very obvious during discussions with the Agency. The EEOC Judge even seemed relieved to have such an educated attorney handling this matter. The attorney was very patient and sympathetic with me, educated me on all the processes and provided expert advice on all decisions. He communicate very well and I always felt well informed. Ultimately, I won the case and felt extremely satisfied with the outcome and results. I would recommend this law firm to anyone needing assistance with any situation involving a matter related to the EEOC.

I hired this firm to appeal my disability retirement denial from the USPS. They were highly professional and extremely helpful. I felt completely out of my depth going up against my former employer. There was no way I would have been successful on my own. Mr. Andrew Perlmutter was gracious and supportive through the entire process. I found out two weeks ago that the decision to deny my disability retirement had been reversed. Yes, I've had to pay legal fees, but that is the best investment I could have made. I would highly recommend this firm and Mr Perlmutter for anyone who needs help going up against the federal government.

I found attorney Johnathan Lloyd a few years ago when I was forced into litigation by my federal agency and I can honestly say that the positive outcome of my case was a direct result of the expertise and skill of Mr. Lloyd. I found Mr. Lloyd when a close friend recommended Passman and Kaplan and they told me this law firm was the best for mitigating EEO-related matters. As a federal employee in the public-sector, Johnathan’s involvement in my case was from the very beginning of the EEO process through settlement two years later. Through professionalism and a solid knowledge-base of public-sector law, Mr. Lloyd skillfully navigated the steps in the EEO process. Although Mr. Lloyd was a junior lawyer at Passman and Kaplan at the time (a few years ago), Mr. Passman provided mentoring oversight to Mr. Lloyd and they worked together in a true partnering relationship. Mr. Lloyd displayed professionalism under all circumstances, even during times in which the opposite parties in our legal dispute engaged in less-than-professional behavior. I was not aware of Mr. Lloyd’s workload at the time (I can imagine it was very busy as most lawyers are!), however, Mr. Lloyd always provided direct attention toward my case, and made me feel that I was the highest on his priority list. One perspective very much worth emphasizing, was the honestly and the desire for Mr. Lloyd to find the best possible outcome for me and my situation. On multiple occasions Mr. Lloyd diligently sought amicable settlement with the federal agency in which we were involved, often times with the thoughts of costs of the EEO process when the agency decides to “drag the case out”, which the agency did in my particular circumstance. Mr. Lloyd had made unique and creative settlement offers that would have been beneficial for my situation, however, would probably have meant less revenue for his law firm. These instances demonstrated honestly, integrity, and a true commitment to garnering the best outcome for his client. On multiple occasions it was required that Mr. Lloyd travel out of state to represent me during settlement negotiations and alternative dispute resolution. He did so happily so I could feel secure in my representation and so as to provide the best services possible. I strongly feel that it was Mr. Lloyd’s skill and diligence that resulted in a VERY favorable settlement that I didn’t even think was possible when the entire EEO process began. In the end the Agency had no other choice but to recognize the facts of my case, and it was a direct result of Mr. Lloyds detailed analyses, impeccable detailed-oriented nature and oversight of my case that this result came to fruition. I would not have had the “happy-ending” I had if not for Mr. Lloyd and the expertise of Passman and Kaplan. On a side note, the close friend who recommended Passman and Kaplan to me also had a very favorable outcome to their particular case, which in my opinion reflects the new generation of Passman and Kaplan attorneys continuing the legacy of quality and skilled labor representation for public-sector employees. If you are looking for an HONEST, DILIGENT and VERY skilled labor law firm, I would very much recommend Mr. Johnathan Lloyd for representation in any labor and employment-related dispute.

My primary attorneys were Edward Passman and Johnathan Lloyd. I have nothing but praise for their hard work and dedication during the year and a half they represented me. My initial consultation was thorough and they shared their game plan with me. This was a very difficult time for me and I appreciated the kindness, understanding of my personal struggle and guidance they were able to provide. The interviews with Federal managers got to the heart of the issues. I am extremely satisfied with the results and have the greatest respect for these gentlemen. I also appreciate Mr. Kaplan’s manner and how he took care of me by making an early morning meeting in the midst of a terrible blizzard.

Passman & Kaplan are simply the best. You need their talent and expertise if you expect to challenge your agency and prevail. They represented me in an eight year dogfight and made the experience much less stressful than my previous attorney. My agency tried every dirty trick in the book right down to the damaged hearing. My only regret is that I didn't switch firms earlier. My attorney was Adria Zeldin and she was absolutely amazing. Confident, experienced, professional, and saavy. The attorneys at this firm do the work so you don't have to ... remember the adage ... you get what you pay for. After your civil rights have been violated, isn't it worth the money for excellent legal representation?
