I have been part of a class action for over 5 years. A few months ago left my contact for someone to call me back. So far no call which I can understand they are busy. I kind of was a cry baby until Mr. Ottinger gave me a call to explain to me how these cases work. For Mr. Ottinger to call me and take time to educate me on class action cases means a lot. Transparency is critical in any relationship and this firms leadership is very sincere. I want to thank the staff from reception all the way up. Keep up the good work and I apologize if I jumped the gun. Best, Kinjy *****

I highly recommend Ottinger firm,quick result, excellent..

He was very tolerant with me and always assured me that everything was going to be ok. I highly recommended them. Thank You!!

I'm I like this book

They handled my matter quickly and professionally.

Amazing firm, I recieved quick and efficient results. Benjamin Weisenburg was a terrific attorney, producing speedy recovery to my case. I will be recommended every friend I know to this firm, for fair justice in their time of need!

Prior to hiring Ottinger Law, other Attorneys fumbled with my case creating an almost unrecoverable case for Ottinger but, Ottinger quickly picked up their fumble and carried the ball over the goal. They. Turned a loser, by other Attorney’s opinions, into a Winner.
Ottinger’s higher level of knowledge and experience in Employment Law had me realize, even at will employees, have Rights and the Employers, discharging them, don’t have a free pass to do so.
Ottinger took a career ending ugly situation and put the life back in it.
“Ottinger; They Know the Law!”

Robert was referred to us by a friend of our family, who is also an attorney. He was extremely responsive to our initial call as well as his legal review. I highly recommend him for employee related matters.

2013 1/2 - The situation I brought to the Ottinger Firm PC was upsetting to say the least. Once I walked in to the Ottinger Firm PC a sense of comfort came over me. I knew I was at the right firm getting the right help I needed. Mr. Robert Ottinger made sure I knew everything would get better for me. I can say, anyone feeling as if something is wrong, please go to the Ottinger Firm PC, they will help you and your confidence will be returned.

2013 2/2 - My experience with the Ottinger Firm was from beginning to end very successful. I came to them with a situation that I didn't know how to handle and was very impressed with the attention I received. I truly believe if it was not for this firm, I would still be in a place which did not deserve the kindness of me. Thank you again for giving me my confidence back.

Robert Ottinger is a lousy attorney. I would never hire him or his firm again. He's incompetent, doesn't know a thing about cases, or what what's going on in his law firm because he's never there. Don't waste people's time or get involved with a client's case if you cannot handle it.

I have used Ottinger Firm for my personal employment contracts and recommended friends and colleagues to consult with Ottinger. Services are excellent, staff is knowledgeable, accessible, helpful. Highly recommend.

Benjamin Weisenberg has been incredibly helpful and knowledgeable. This firm is accessible and very professional. I highly recommend.

Ben has been exemplar in his advice, insight and counsel.

Absolutely a positive experience! Benjamin and his team were always in contact with me laying out all best case scenarios. I truly felt I had the best team in my corner looking out for my best interests. I would highly recommend using this truly dynamic team!

Super helpful when I was negotiating my employment contract. Helped me understand what was there and how it could impact me in the future. Caught some "gotchas" that I did not.

The Ottinger Firm handled my case quickly and professionally. They kept me abreast of any changes or issues and won my case. Everyone there was very friendly and made me feel comfortable enough to ask any questions without feeling overwhelmed.

My case involved a very large company, and I was very doubtful about taking it forward in the first place. I consulted with Ottinger in New York first, and the employment attorney I worked with there was able to calm my fears and get our case started. The case did not last very long, and was instead settled for an amount I am very happy with.

Responsive, participatory, articulate, respected in their field, highly competent; I felt well represented and would recommend them without reservation. Incidentally, I was referred by lawyers who represent employers as the best "other side" counsel.

My experience with The Ottinger Firm was a very positive one! Both Ari Graff and Robert Ottinger dedicated exceptional time, energy and detail to my case, and made me feel as comfortable and supported as possible in what was for me, a very uncomfortable, stressful, totally foreign terrain. As I approached The Ottinger Firm, I was coming right out of a very negative and disheartening experience with seeking legal counseling for my very first time, that I was not at all satisfied with, needless to say, I was feeling extremely vulnerable, skeptical and jaded, not just due to my past employment issues, but now also due to my perception of the competence and caliber of Attourneys out there. Then I met Rob and Ari. My gut instinct (which is usually on point), was to trust these guys, that they were cut from a different cloth, not just in it for the money or the fanfare, but really in it for their clients, for justice, for what's right, and hungry, determined and ready to tackle the case and support me and lift me back up! As my case unfolded, they took great care to making sure we had quality face to face meetings when needed, and countless in depth phone calls and texts, very often after hours to accommodate my schedule of being a mom to a baby. I found myself anticipating our phone calls with even a little excitement, even though this was such a highly unsettling and anxious time in my life dealing with this legal situation, I came to know and rely on the fact that Ari would somehow always make me feel so understood and supported and respected, and had such a good grasp of my case, so many insightful revelations, that I would walk away from every exchange somehow feeling a little bit better, just knowing he was in my corner and covering me on every base.
Regardless of how my case unfolded, and how unexpectedly things ended up turning out, and whether I feel good or bad about the outcome, after all is said and done, my feelings towards Ari and Rob and The Ottinger Firm are nothing but positive and supportive. Even Daniel, one of their junior associates, who helped out on my case as well, was so smart, professional, respectful and kind, and was a pleasure to work with. That should say a lot about the quality of Attourneys they are. I always felt they were being honest and real with me and not sugar coating their own hidden agendas, even if it wasn't always what I wanted to hear or accept, I knew they would show me both sides of the coin and ultimately, I knew I could trust them, which for a wounded, and huge skeptic like me, was huge. I would never take the time to write a review if it wasn't from the gut and if it wasn't really one I wish I would come across and read while I was in such a vulnerable and stressful time in my life when i was seeking legal representation, and I needed good sound advice and referral based on experience from another likeminded person out there who I felt I could trust. I never imagined I would end up feeling towards Ari and Rob, not only respect and appreciation for them as Attourneys, but even more so, loyalty, and care for them as I would towards my friends. That's the impression they leave with me. My recommendation is still, no matter what, to do your own homework and due diligence and meet with a few Attourneys and compare to make sure you find the right fit for your personality and needs, BUT once you inevitably do come back to The Ottinger Firm, know then, that you are in good hands and with good people who will go to bat for your through and through. Best of luck!

The Ottinger Firm was able to negotiate my severance and bonus, the attorney was always in communication and worked consistently in my benefit, and helped create a stress-free situation.

Talk about restoring ones faith in mankind! That may sound dramatic but after dealing with such deplorable humans for so many years, it’s refreshing to interact with considerate, understanding and attentive individuals. I came across the Ottinger Firm less than two months ago, when I had a dispute with a former employer. I felt completely despondent and hopeless that there would be any way to rectify the wrongdoings that this company had caused!

That is when I did a little digging and came across the Ottinger Firm. From my very first phone call I was completely at ease. After a brief description of my case, I was on a 3 way phone call with Mr. Ottinger and one of his lawyers Ari who specializes in cases related directly to the nature of my circumstance. Together, they explained in detail all of the transgressions of my previous employer enlightening me to the fact that this is in fact a big deal! There are laws that protect us for a reason, so I should not feel “silly” to go after what is rightfully mine.

From there on I had the pleasure of working with a gentleman named Benjamin Weisenberg who was amazing! Clear, concise and thorough information was relayed to me with every step of the process. The company made it as easy for me as possible setting up phone meetings through online scheduling. Calls were to the point and expressed in language I understood…not lawyer jargon that can be overwhelming and frustrating. He was reliable and always followed up with me before I felt I wanted to follow up with him. The Ottinger Firm is knowledgeable, organized and above satisfactory! We settled on an amount that I was beyond happy with; especially since all I did was sit back trusting fully that I was in good hands. The whole process was painless, efficient and quick. I cannot say better things about the Ottinger Firm. If I had more than two thumbs…they would all be WAY up!!

Great value and great team. I'd recommend them highly.

Very helpful!

My Fiancee actually had called the Ottinger firm on my behalf in response to an issue with my previous employer in which they reneged on an agreement. I would have been out almost 20k. I went over my case with Robert and within a few days I had spoken with "the team" who worked on my case. The lead on my case was always available to take any of my calls and explained all too me each step through. Not only did they get me the money's owed to me, but got my prior employer to pay for their services! I have and would recommend The Ottinger Firm to anyone having issues with their employer. Two Thumbs Up! They also had a system in which I could review all correspondence and documents relating to my case online which was a nice addition to their service.

I would recommend The Ottinger Firm to anyone! I needed a firm with the brains and confidence to handle a powerful financial company. I met with a few top tier firms, but the decision was easy after I met with Robert Ottinger and the EEOC. During the consultation, Robert Ottinger asked great questions and accurately predicted that they would settle the case. After the consultation, I met with the EEOC for some questions about the process. An investigator at the EEOC asked about the firms I had met, recognized The Ottinger Firm, expressed respect for the firm, and even gave me his card to have Robert Ottinger contact him to catch up on things. The decision was easy after that. Ari Graff was the primary attorney for my case. I thank Ari so much for his dedication, patience and brains. Incredible writer too. The confidence Ari showed when dealing with a tough opponent was very impressive! I was very happy with the settlement, and the strong, but diplomatic approach of the firm. I have a lifetime of peace of mind thanks to The Ottinger Firm.

I reached out to Robert Ottinger a few years ago when I was let go from my company without warning. Due to the circumstances at the time, many people were recommending that I respond with legal action, but I really had no idea if I had a case, or where I would even begin. Robert patiently responded to all my questions, and was very reliable when I needed a quick response on anything. His expertise in the field put me at ease during a difficult time, and he helped me resolve my situation in a very satisfactory way. I highly recommend Robert Ottinger's services and his firm.

The Ottinger Firm is a knowledgeable and inviting place. I worked with Robert Ottinger on my case. He knows the law and is able to guide you step by step. When you are not clear on an issue he listens and lets you know where you stand. I had a dispute with a former employer and after reviewing my documents he knew I had a case. He resolved my issue and I won. I can't thank him and his staff enough. I would recommend the Ottinger Firm to anyone that is looking to resolve a labor dispute. These guys Rock!

Faced with Labor law issues that we had little experience dealing with, our advisers referred us to the Ottinger Firm. When first meeting Robert Ottinger, I could see why he's so well respected in both legal and business communities. In addition to being a good guy, he really took the time to understand our business and its unique culture. He helped establish a game plan for us and instrumental in carrying it out. When push came to shove, he's the guy you want working with you instead of against you.

Now that we have established a strong working relationship with the Ottinger Firm, we feel like we are much more prepared to deal with most any Labor Law issue.

Fair, compassionate, understanding, but most of all, relentless. Robert knows his stuff and is incredibly thorough. He's savvy but down-to-earth, and believes in justice not because he's merely expected to, but because he truly desires to see wrongs righted and simply CANNOT STAND IT when big business tries to push the little guy around. Robert's in your corner, and that, as they say, is a relief.

The Ottinger Firm is a top tier New York City based employment law firm. The Ottinger Firm's attorneys, paralegals, and administrative staff are courteous, intelligent, dedicated, and professional. My lawyers Robert Ottinger and Ariel Graff consoled and reassured me during a time of great distress for myself and my family. Additionally I felt more than adequately prepared by them for my trial in federal court, which ended with a jury verdict in my favor against my former employer on all claims.

I strongly recommene working with Ottinger firm. Chris, Ari, marshall and John plus the entire staff is extremely professinal and efficient.

Strongly recommend The Ottinger Firm for anybody seeking legal review of contracts. My attorney, Christopher Davis, is very knowledgeable and was able to guide me through the contract process, ensuring I did not expose myself to significant legal risk.
