I retained DeLong Caldwell Bridgers Fitzpatrick & Benjamin to help with two separate issues relating to my employer. The first was a compensation dispute regarding hourly versus exempt status and the second was to negotiate and finalize a separation agreement upon my leaving my employer. I found each person at the practice to be very courteous and respectful during each encounter.

I first utilized Mr. Mitchell Benjamins’ legal advice in 2016 to help negotiate the terms of my non-compete for my new job offer/contract. He was extremely helpful! He not only educated me and empowered me to negotiate a more amenable non-compete, but he also pointed out some other areas of my contract that could be negotiated for an overall better contract.
