The dynamics of the practice of law are changing radically. The old model of providing legal services as a commodity, whereby the client is removed from the process, and sees only the end result—and the bill—is no longer viable.. The client of today is much more sophisticated and demands participation in the process. My approach to the client-attorney relationship is by the knowledge exchange, by which I work together with my client as a partner in every step of the process. I learn the environment which encompasses the client’s goals and expectations. In turn, I strive to make the client more aware of the applicable legal context while helping the client to make more informed decisions. The relationship between client and attorney thrives as each of us becomes more knowledgeable of the needs, concerns, and objectives of the other.. My goal is to make the client-attorney relationship more like a partnership—a relationship that is closer, richer, and more productive and meaningful.. I cannot properly counsel a client unless and until I understand the client’s world, the space in which the client operates. I need to view that world from the client’s perspective and gain as much knowledge as I possibly can about the world the client sees. To counsel an automobile dealer, a real estate developer, a restaurateur, a plumbing supply house, I must know and understand the elements of each of those businesses. To prepare an effective estate plan, a shareholder or operating agreement, a personal services contract, I must grasp the needs of the individual client by putting myself in his or her place.. All too often, lawyers rely on their form books, their computer templates, and, most importantly, their lawyer instincts to be the all knowing advice giver.  Instead, I listen to my client, to learn his or her needs and expectations, and I ask questions when I need to learn more. My focus is always on the client. Once we as attorneys begin to try to impress a client with our knowledge or supposed wisdom, or try to tell the client what to do, we stop listening.  We then lose that focus and do the client a great disservice.

Jonas Urba has lived in and practiced employment law in Westchester County's River Towns since 2011. Urba Law PLLC's primary mailing and service office address moved to Manhattan. Jonas has devoted more than two decades exclusively to employment law matters. He enjoys the practice area welcoming both small employers and employees who believe employment laws have been broken or are not being followed. His formal training and experience with employment law mediation and other ADR venues goes back to 2004. Many don't realize that few employment cases ever see a courtroom. That by no means deters strong defense counsel from putting up big defenses. In New York we have the best. A poorly initiated or defended claim can take decades to resolve. Every client or potential client needs strong facts. Facts are never created by nor recalled by employment lawyers. We have to ask the tough questions. Our clients must either recall the facts, possess documents to support those facts or identify witnesses or electronic or other documents where facts are confirmed. It's all about the facts and the study of people and of organizations. The most important feature of employment law claims is record-keeping and documents. Almost every single case demands keeping records and documents. Sometimes it's the employee handbooks which confirm practices. Other times it's practices that appear neutral but have a disparate or discriminatory effect. Still others are witnesses who we never expected possessed the facts we need. Employment law in New York is always changing. Your employment lawyer must conduct research constantly and often clients are not much interested in caselaw but without caselaw we can neither prove nor defend most claims. Westchester County is an awesome place to live and practice this great area of law. But clients need to decide for themselves who the best employment lawyer fit is for them. Call around. That initial, 15-minute phone conference is free but please leave enough details in a message because spam and solicitations are rampant in today's world.
