$80K Severance
for Project Manager

Henry secured more than $80,000 in severance pay for a senior project manager at what was formerly a family business.

Justice for
Manufacturing Worker

Henry negotiated an additional year of pay for a manufacturing employee who was terminated due to their disability. The entire issue could’ve been avoided if the employer accommodated the individual and allowed them to retire as planned.

Software Engineer
Shocked

Through strategic negotiations, Henry was able to double the severance package of a software engineer who was let go during a major restructuring.

 

What Clients Say About Henry

“Gave excellent advice”
I had the chance to work with Henry. An initial consultation was all that was needed in my case. Thank you for everything!

David Milito

“Outstanding service”
Henry surprised me with how fast he was able to understand the unique aspects of my case. I can’t thank him and the team at Samfiru Tumarkin LLP enough for making everything so smooth during such a stressful time.

P.G.

“Better outcome than expected”
I had a feeling that my severance package wasn’t right and I’m so glad I contacted Samfiru Tumarkin LLP. Henry immediately identified how much money was missing from the amount I was legally entitled to. If you received a severance package from your boss, don’t sign anything before reaching out to this firm.

T.A.

“The real deal”
I almost didn’t contact an employment lawyer because I thought I could negotiate a better severance package on my own. I would’ve been so wrong. Henry’s expertise made sure that I got EXACTLY what I was owed. Thank you, Henry!

E.N.

“No stress, just success”
Henry and his assistant were so patient with me after I lost my job. I didn’t receive a severance package from my boss, and I was so worried that there was only so much time to get what I was owed. They eased my concerns and I was thrilled with the outcome of my wrongful dismissal case. Thank you, Henry. My family and I will never forget this.
