- R. F.
I recently resigned (for “Good Reason”) in my capacity as CEO of a NJ based publicly traded company. Although I had an Employment Contract that clearly spelled out all rights and obligations for me and my company, the company refused to honor those rights, necessitating me to seek legal counsel. I contacted Jon Green at Green Savits and received an initial consultation that helped me determine my complaint against the company was valid and well-founded.
Jon listened as I presented my background and the events that led to my resignation for Good Reason. He then laid out a cohesive plan that included the necessary steps that would likely lead to resolution of the conflict in my favor. After the plan was presented to me, Jon proceeded to act on my behalf in a highly professional and efficient manner with opposing counsel. The case was settled out of court, and I believe both parties were satisfied with the outcome. I certainly was satisfied with the outcome without the daunting prospect of lengthy and costly court proceedings and further negotiations.
While all these events were taking place, Jon’s support team (associates) were also highly respectable, efficient, incredibly kind, capable, and professional.
I would have no hesitation whatsoever engaging Jon Green and Green Savits to represent anybody seeking legal counsel for employment matters. I am confident in the people and the firm’s professionalism and expertise.

Jon Green is a consummate high integrity legal professional who not only knows New Jersey employment law but knows how it works and how to work it. He is relentless and tenacious in his pursuit of justice for his client. He’s fearless and will consistently fight to get a fair settlement for you. He doesn’t back down. He’s a client-oriented attorney who listens carefully to his client so that he fully understands the case details and what your objectives are. If he doesn’t know or understand something you’ve said, he’ll ask you to explain further. He doesn’t assume anything. He’s very detail oriented. Jon will be fully engaged in your case and is best described as “all in” once the wheels of justice begin to turn. Jon also will tell you what you need to know not what you want to hear. He’ll give you the good news and the bad news. As the case twists and turns, Jon takes the time to explain it so you understand it and what ramifications it has for your case. Jon works with the client collaborating on strategies and next steps. I was referred to Jon by a corporate labor attorney who recommended Jon because “Jon has a game plan”. Once Jon knows all the details of your case he definitely will have a game plan. That said, he is open to the client’s opinions and is willing to take a different path that the client suggests if it makes sense and is beneficial to the case. Jon was always accessible and his staff and other partners were very helpful. After three and a half years the case was settled amicably out of court. In my opinion, you couldn’t have a better employee rights attorney fighting for you than Jon Green.- Ted S.
