Clara Hurtado:

I was browsing in the law section of the library and found an interesting book that gave a wonderful

definition of "success" for a lawyer.  It said, "A true measure of an attorney's success has little to do with

the financial consequences of a particular matter for the individual attorney.  Success as a lawyer is

properly evaluated according to such standards as the quality of the effort expended by the attorney, the

extent of the service rendered to the client, the degree of professionalism displayed throughout the life of

the transaction or proceeding, and the extent to which the attorney uses his talent and skills to serve

others."   This made me think of Jack Tuckner.  Money is not his bottom line.  Serving his client to the best

of his ability certainly is.  I thank Mr. Tuckner from the bottom of my heart for all that he has done for me. 

I hope he and I can remain friends, I would truly value that. 

Zoe Stark:

My faith in Jack Tuckner began when he first came to the phone and, after telling me he had to make it

quick but would call me back, spent 50 minutes talking to me about my case!  He got me focused on

moving ahead and feeling like I was not alone and did have a hope in the world of being vindicated and

indeed, winning a monetary settlement.

Jack’s unwavering belief in the righteousness and strength of my case –when everyone else said I didn’t

have one- was empowering.  He was relentless in his commitment to making sure I got the best agreement

and settlement I could. His holistic view of the situation included having me make sure I was making

choices that made the most sense for me on many different levels and for the long term.

I would never hesitate to recommend Jack to anyone experiencing any type of discrimination or unfair

practice in the workplace!

Heather & Amber Langley, aka The Porcelain Twinz:

If you have a voice that needs to be heard, Jack Tuckner will lend you his, and it will echo through the

subway and streets of New York City.  His passion, knowledge and integrity for championing the rights for

women, no matter what their profession, will help those who want to make change possible.  Thanks for

everything.

Kathy McGlade:

"Facing unemployment was devastating.  Finding Jack Tuckner was revitalizing.  Jack is an excellent

attorney, smart and determined.  He listened, worked hard, and kept me focused.  In addition to winning

a generous settlement, Jack helped me stand by my principles and win back my confidence.  Along with

great legal advice, in Jack Tuckner, I found a treasured human being."

Harriet Cohen:

"Jack Tuckner made me like lawyers again."

Florence Bonavia:

Being fired for taking my medications at work was devastating. Your expert guidance and vast knowledge

of women's rights in the workplace got me through this ordeal.

I was so nervous and anxious on the day of the EEOC mediation. I'll never forget how you put me at ease.

It was really interesting watching you during the mediation. You are so confident and a master negotiator.

The best thing is the monetary award you won for me from my former employer. Thanks to you, justice was

served.

Trish Page:

Jack Tuckner, and indeed the entire Tuckner Sipser firm, were a beacon of hope when my entire world

seemed clouded over by the actions of my employer. Working in an (almost) all male environment, it was

eye-opening to see how quickly the wagons circled, and how vicious the retaliation was when my sexual

and retaliation complaints were brought forward.

Jack stuck with me throughout my very complex and far-reaching case. The settlement I received is one

that I would never have been able to get without Jack's help, and what was even more important to me, is

that Jack went far above and beyond the call of duty to make sure the language in my agreement was as

close to what I wanted as possible. His advice about how to stay focused on what was important, not to

take things personally, and how to move on into a new and fresh phase in my family's life got me through

one of the darkest periods of my life; thanks to Jack I have emerged on the other side a stronger, more

self-assured person who now realizes that I have the right to respect and fair treatment in all areas of life.

Evelyn Rivera:

In the short time that I’ve known Jack Tuckner, I felt like I’ve known him forever.  Jack is very

compassionate and understanding and he gave me so much support as I was dealing with a bad situation.

My experience working with him was truly wonderful.  His knowledge and experience is beyond words.

Therefore ladies, if you’re being mistreated and abused in the workplace, Jack is your man.

Marina Piller:

"Through countless conversations that kept my spirit intact while I was ambushed by my employer, Jack

provided me with a world-shifting view in how I can go about redefining my life and changing my

perspective. He has given me not only practical sound legal advice and support whenever I needed, but

also deeply insightful wisdom about the transitions one usually undergoes, one step at a time, from being

engrossed in a single corporate identity to a rich array of possible selves. He empowered me when I was

marginalized at work, supported me irrelevant of the path I needed to take for our case, while

internalizing my goals as if they were his own and delivering outstanding results. Jack is truly

extraordinary."

Rene Cooper:

If ever you experience harassment or discrimination on the job, put it in writing, report it immediately,

and contact William Sipser.

Donna D:

"In this male dominated world, having an attorney like Jack Tuckner fighting for you is a blessing to any

female who has been wronged."

Karen Edward:

"Thanks to Jack Tuckner my case ended on a very positive note.  It wasn't about the money and harboring

negative feelings, but about magnanimity and closure.  Jack was always there for me, honest, pragmatic

and professional.  I sense that connecting to his clients in that human way is extremely important to Jack–

he truly cares."

Shandauh Burgess:

"I felt like Rosa Parks, because I made a change in the company that will benefit other women.  If Rosa

Parks didn't step up, Black people would still be at the back of the bus.  If I hadn't stood up for my rights at

work, other women might still be getting hurt.  Now for the first time, my employer must have a sexual

harassment policy.

Jack was great! He was like a Genie; he made my wish come true.  He granted me a wish that I thought

would never happen.  In the mediation process at the US Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, I

was a little nervous at first but Jack made me feel comfortable and he gently pushed me to make sure that I

had a full chance to tell my side of the story.  The whole process made me stronger:  I never had one

problem with his office.  They always gave me prompt updates."

Josephine Gregory:

I'm very grateful for Mr. Sipser's help! When I first met with him, I left feeling relieved because he asked

all the right questions. I had been contacting other attorneys, but Mr. Sipser did not hesitate to work with

me on a contingency basis. Other attorneys wanted fees that I couldn't afford because I had just lost my

job, which is why I needed an attorney! Other attorneys don't explain much, but Mr. Sipser answered all

my questions and told me what to do next. I was very happy with him as my lawyer.

Susan Terwilliger:

I want to thank you, Jack (and all your staff) for the many months you have worked on my case and the

successful outcome.

There were many times during the negotiations when I know was difficult as a client - upset, angry and

obsessive to the extreme.  You were compassionate about my emotional state, but more importantly, you

helped me get past my emotions and NOT take things so personally.  This state of mind helped me dissipate

the emotional fog, make decisions and understand and actually get what I really wanted - what was really

important. A side benefit - it also helped me sleep better!

I want to express a special thank you regarding how hard you continued to work on the other terms after

the money was already decided.  As you know these details dragged on for 4 months and I really appreciate

your willingness to continue to go to bat for me on these issues, even when there was (quite frankly) no

additional money in it for you.  I always felt that you were deeply committed to getting it right. I just really

have to say thank you again for representing my interests with such integrity.

Andrea Lawrence:

"What impressed me about Jack Tuckner was that when I first met with him, he really listened and was

very understanding.  He didn't use lawyer jargon and he explained the process step by step.  He

understood that for me it was not about the money so much as it was about the principle.  That's how he

operates...it was obvious from meeting with him that his consultation fee was not his main motivation,

unlike other lawyers.  When we had our ADR process, he explained everything to me but he didn't dumb it

down.  He went in with guns blazing when they didn't want to give us what we deserved.  His opening

statement blew the other lawyer away."

Lore Stamboulian:

"Jack made it comfortable for me to cope with an extremely emotional ordeal.  Jack is very knowledgeable

and supportive and he and his staff were always responsive to my countless calls.  He truly identifies and

values the essence of the working mother!"

Dorothea "Dottie" Geraci:

"I want to thank Jack for sticking by me through everything, especially when I was ready to give up.  You've

been an excellent attorney, and more importantly, a good friend.  Thanks for everything.  If and when I'm

ever in trouble again we'll team up.  Thanks so much."

Nicole McMiller:

"Jack is a good man.  When you have problems, you can talk to him.  When I first came here, I was kind of

nervous until I met him.  He made me have confidence in myself.  He kept me up strong–as a woman.  He

thinks like us!  He's a wonderful man and he will always be in my thoughts."

Arely Mendoza:

"Jack Tuckner is an excellent lawyer and a wonderful human being who is supportive, understanding and

caring.  He is there for you all along the way to help you to maintain your dignity and emotional well being

as he fights for your rights in a classy and professional manner.  I thank Jack for his excellent work.  The

mediation was excellent and he helped me to bring closure to my case on a positive note, both monetarily

and emotionally."

Sandra Bongiorno:

"There is no doubt in my mind that if there is anyone who can get the job done, Jack is the man.  He

emphatically targeted the problem, took immediate action and helped me receive results.  He understood

my stressful situation and guided me through every step of the way.  I know that I wouldn't have received

this wonderful treatment anywhere else."

Kimberly Hynes:

"I never had to wait long for Jack Tuckner to get back to me.  No matter how small the question, he always

answered it in detail.  It was a scary thing to begin with, hiring an attorney to represent me against my

employer.  As soon as I sat down with Jack, he immediately eased my fears.  I didn't feel alone anymore."

Ed Bracher:

"I would like to say that having Mr. William Sipser of Tuckner, Sipser, Weinstock & Sipser, LLP represent

me in my age discrimination suit was the best thing I could have done.  He was not only very professional,

but made sure that I was calm and focused throughout my case.  I would recommend him to any of my

friends and family that would need his services."

Pearl Korenblit:

I would like to thank you for being so incredibly helpful and supportive throughout the negotiation process

with my employer.   As I told you on our first meeting, I was very impressed by your knowledge of the legal

issues involved in my case and your sensitivity to how tough the situation has been for me at work. Your

constant advice on how to minimize the legal costs was amazing.   I found each of our conversations, prior

to writing letters or going to meetings with my employer, to be most informative, supportive, and right on

the mark in your predictions of what would come up and how to handle it.  I could not have done it without

you and surely would not have succeeded without your expert advice.

I am amazed at how fantastic a lawyer you are in your field of "women's rights in the workplace" and at the

same time what a great mench (good person in Yiddish) you are. Wow!!!!  I am happy to know that a

lawyer can be so nice and supportive!!!!

Thanks so much!!! You helped make such a difficult time in my life so much more tolerable. I was able to

feel validated by my employer by following your valuable advice.  With great appreciation.

Laura Pereira:

"Jack Tuckner was very attentive and understanding.  He cared about what I was going through–my whole

ordeal.  He always responded quickly to my questions when I needed answers.  His relationship with the

mediator and the other lawyers representing the employer made me feel that I was in the best hands when

it involved fighting for my rights.  You can see that he loves what he's doing.  He's someone you can open

up your heart to.  The staff made me feel so welcome.  They are so cordial and professional.  From the first

day I walked in I said, wow, I like this place."

Karen McIntyre:

"Jack Tuckner took my case right at the beginning and designed an empowering strategy through each step

along the way, from my first consultation to the final resolution in federal court.  My monetary award was

even more than I ever would've expected.  He's informative, intelligent and ethical–the perfect qualities to

have in a lawyer fighting on your side."

Nikki Kilgour:

"Jack was always there to help me.  I never though a lawyer would actually answer calls, and return calls,

read email and actually respond to them, but he always did.  I would tell friends how impressed I was

because of the respect he had for my case.  I felt comfortable with him–that he was truly on my side.  I

think he did a great job and more importantly, I felt he was honest with me from the beginning."

Amy Cohen:

"I loved working with Jack.  He was so compassionate.  I felt that he really cared about me."

Dorina Maxwell:

"Jack was reliable and caring. I used to call him 2 or 3 times a day.  He helped me so much–not only legally,

but psychologically as well."

Kim Chin:

"Jack left no stone unturned.  He went all out.  It's not like he was only fighting for me.  It was personal to

him."

Alexandra Cole:

"Thank God we found Jack.  I never felt that I was on the same level as my boss until I had Jack as my

attorney."

Valerie Washington:

"Jack thinks like a woman.  He made me comfortable enough to tell him anything."

Denise Owens:

"Other lawyers wouldn't take my case because I was in a union.  Jack got me my back pay when my union

wouldn't even try."

Juana Douglas:

"We feel so much better having Jack Tuckner on our side.  God bless Jack and his staff."

Marsha Hafez:

"Jack was like the biblical David going against Goliath with his slingshot.  And it worked."

Joyelle Bukowski:

"Jack always stayed on top of things, from the beginning to the end of my case.  He is in a class by himself

as a lawyer.

Kathleen Britton:

"Jack Tuckner put in the time and energy, using his skills and expertise to negotiate the best settlement

possible under unusual and complicated circumstances.  He did not pressure me to accept a poor

settlement."

Stacie Nielsen:

"Jack Tuckner is the best lawyer I ever worked with.  Informative and down to earth.  Gave me a

consultation and did not limit the time–answered all my questions and gave me honest answers.  Walked

me through a very tough situation and supported me every step of the way.  Gave me the legal

empowerment to resolve the situation in the quickest and least hostile manner possible."

Meredith Start:

"My ordeal was/is one of the worst experiences I've ever had to endure.  I would never wish upon anyone

what I was subject to.  Jack provided me with both the emotional support and confidence to not run away

with my tail between my legs.  Thanks Jack!"

Michelle Granucci:

"Jack was wonderful, I felt so satisfied.  My boss got what he deserved.  Jack had him by the throat.  The

staff was so helpful, Maggie was awesome!"

Tanya Rouse:

"I was being humiliated at work, and I got Jack Tuckner to save the day!  I was facing discrimination and

retaliation in the workplace.  I looked to Jack Tuckner for advice and support, and he provided me with

both.  He worked in a timely manner, which was important because I was expecting my second child at the

time.  He empowered me to help myself with my situation.  He really encouraged me to stand up for my

rights, and to be in control of the situation where otherwise I might have been marginalized."

Iryna Fito:

I've never heard about lawyers who give free consultations by phone when you're not even their client.

That's impressive.  It was a very big pleasure to work with Jack Tuckner.  I think he chose the right

profession in his life.  My first impression was that his occupation isn't just work for him but more like a

style of life.  That's why his cases are successful.  He helps us, women, to make some changes in the world. 

So, if you want to win - work with JACK TUCKNER.

Danielle  R. Combs:

Jack Tuckner is a true asset to the Profession of Law.   He naturally combines intelligence and ability with

empathy ... is hard-working, patient, determined, and understanding.  He is accessible, sincere, caring, and

open to individual needs.  Jack undoubtedly prides himself on gold standard personal and professional

principles.  I thank him wholeheartedly for all of his help, generosity, and compassion.  Moreover, for

being a Gentleman of Such High Integrity.

Kate Darcy:

For women's rights, attorney Jack Tuckner and staff rock!

Erika Klavins:

When I first went to Jack Tuckner it was with my head down and wondering how I would get out of a

situation that that was degrading and discriminating. I felt I had lost control of a bad situation that was

quickly getting worse. Jack Tuckner and Williams Sipser are a wonderful team. They are fighting social

injustice and discrimination against women in the workplace and they are fighting hard. Jack was available

24/7. His strong will and belief in the right for women to be protected from discrimination and retaliation

was cherished when I felt I was completely vilified and ousted at my job.  I knew that I was protected. Not

just because I had a lawyer but because I had the right lawyers. They were the saving grace for me when I

needed legal and moral support. Their entire team went above and beyond so I always knew I had a life

line and wasn't alone. It is a compassion I never expected to find from a legal team, but that compassion

carried me through the process and in the end I walked away from the situation with my head held high. I

am so thankful for this group of extraordinary people.

Diana Koch:

Jack--thank you for your help earlier this year.  I made it to my maternity leave without being laid off

thanks to your strategic behind-the-scene interventions as it related to my blatant pregnancy/sex

related discrimination.  It made the biggest difference in my daughter's and my life.

Koch Shawna

Thank you, Jack, for everything you have done for my daughter Grey and I.  I cannot express to you how

significant the impact you have had on her growth, development and our ability to have time to bond.  I am

so so thankful that I did not get fired.  I cannot tell you how you saved me and my daughter with your

assistance and knowledge.

Quintana Karen

I just wanted to thank you again, Jack Tuckner, for all of your help during a most difficult time. 

Having been sexually harassed and discriminated against at work was very hard to deal with.  Being fired

after such ridiculous and obscene behavior however, was the straw that broke the camel's back.

I am glad to have found an attorney who understood the situation completely and helped teach the sleazy

people I worked for in the auto sales business that what they did was not going to be ignored and "let go"

as they had fully and arrogantly expected.

I've always believed that if a wrong has been committed, it should be made right.

Thank you for "getting it" and helping me right the wrong.  If any woman has been harassed and

discriminated against at work, I would tell her without hesitation to call you.
