After being terminated I contacted Samfiru Tumarkin LLP about a wrongful dismissal case, they helped me every step of the way. When I didn't understand a problem they were more than happy to explain it to me. Great Company!

I was wrongfully terminated after 4 years on the job. After trying their Severance Pay Calculator and watching a few episodes of the Employment Law Show, I reached out to Samfiru Tumarkin LLP and I'm glad I did. They settled my case out of court and got me a very fair settlement in what I consider to be a very short amount of time.
