I recently used Whitten & Lublin as I was wrongfully dismissed in this difficult and new era we have all found ourselves in. I had Nasyr Asmi as my lawyer. He was very informative and explained the procedures to me, as well as being successful in accomplishing a better overall severance for me, in comparison as to what I was offered initially. I would definitely recommend him and the team . Great job Nasyr, thanks.

I had retained Nasyr Asmi in supporting me with my employment case. With his great knowledge and experience, the journey was seemless right from the initial consultation, pre-mediation counsel and during mediation. What stands out with Nasyr is his professionalism, meticulous with detail, communicates well and being a skilled negotiator. I was very comfortable and confident in knowing I had made the right decision in choosing Nasyr to be in my corner. I would highly recommend him to others with similar employment situations.
