Jeff's attention to detail, keen understanding of the law, experience and professional approach was elite and surpassed all of my expectations. I would strongly recommend Jeff as an advocate and as counsel.

Ms. Martinez represented me in a labor dispute with a former employer. She aggressively and vigorously handled the various legal issues and hammered out an extremely fair settlement in a remarkably short amount of time. I cannot recommend her highly enough for anyone looking for representation in the fields she specializes in.

Thank you Ms Wilhite for representing the mature stripper and being victorious in the pursuit of woman's rights to equal employment opportunities. I'm a mature woman and schooled in musical theater vocalist musician I was recently called names and denied employment by a entertainment company This ma n was so vicious and I actually had an Acute Emotional Reaction because of his callous unprofessional stupid remarks Age discrimination certainly hurts and does not belong in any work place be it a movie theater, clothing outlet or Strip clubs.

I hired thm after I had fired another attorney for not working my case. Before I hired this firm, I saw close to eight other firms and noone wanted to take my case. This firm stuidied the case and even do they saw potential problems with the case, they took it while seeing al lthe favotable aspects of my case and what it meant to me. They have kept me always informed and being very honest and thruthful with their representations to me, I will not hesitate to recommend them to anyone, I carry their business cards with me just in case.

Our organization is a Texas-based not-for-profit corporation with revenues over $500,000,000. I worked with Sidd on three major projects in 2016: • C-level Employment Agreement • C-level Separation and Release Agreement • Employee Handbook In each instance, the final work product was entirely compliant with current law and well-protected our organization while maintaining fairness to the employee(s). Sidd had near-immediate availability and made us feel like we were his most important client. He was able to take our objectives and readily present them in a manner that had even opposing counsel offering compliments on the contracts/documents. Sidd was fittingly cautious and prudent in guiding us to achieve our objectives. When appropriate, he provided various options for us to choose from. When necessary, he provided case-law to support his position. And at all times he was enjoyable to work with: no drama and always results-orientated. It’s common to roll out lawyer jokes ad nauseum, but it is rare to work with one so competent, so reasonable, and so enjoyable. I unequivocally recommend Sidd Rao to any organization needing an employment attorney.

I went to Sidd originally to try to help handle a bad situation at my work, just to get out of the predicament I was in and worried about. He was prompt in listening to me and took time to not only explain things as well as address issues I didn't even realize were there until pointed out to me (thin gs your average joe like me would just accept as okay even though they aren't). He really helped to guide me as well as worked out a game plan and kept me in the loop the entire time, I never had to reach out to him for updates. I felt so nervous going into him even though my partner is in law and yet he took all the pressure off--I felt like I was in good hands the entire process. Not only was the issue resolved but I came out in a better position than I was even expecting (and much faster than I anticipated). I highly recommend him as he's professional, down to earth, knowledgeable, friendly, prompt, and clearly very good at what he does. I can't say enough good things, honestly!

Mr. Rao displayed competence and professionalism in defending my employee rights in a Texas Work Commission case involving my employer. His tenacity and attention to detail resulted in a positive outcome in my case. He treated me with respect and valued my opinions, which made it very comfortable to work with him. I highly recommend Mr. Rao to anyone dealing with employee-related issues.

Martin Shellist is an absolutely brilliant lawyer in many levels. I had been involved in lengthy and drawn out lawsuit that looked like it would never end and was financially debilitating and caused enormous levels of stress. After over two years, we brought Marty in and within a matter of weeks the suit was wrapped up. He looks at things from every angle. He does not allow manipulation and will call out whomever needs to be called out. He knows the law and how it works. He addresses issues through various angles, so that strategies are in place and issues are handled and not dragged out. I trust his guidance, knowledge, insight and intuition completely. I highly, highly recommend him.

Elizabeth · employment law · May 2026

I would recommend Martin Shellist for any labor related issues. He is extremely knowledgeable and will give you the best recommendation on how to resolve your case in the quickest and most efficient way. He works with tremendous care and really considers his clients circumstances. He knows how to get things done. Anybody who has dealt with legal issues understands that that quality is one of the most important, because nobody wants to be entangled longer then necessary! If you are looking for somebody who knows the law, is brilliant, cares about his clients, and gets the job done, Martin Shellist is the attorney for you.

Jose · May 2026

Excellent lawyer, knowledgeable, well- informed, honest, consistent, and patient. I would not hesitate to call him again or recommend him. He achieved what I needed.

Donna · employment law · May 2026

I hired Martin to settle a rather complicated divorce from my previous company. Like any divorce, there were issues that needed to be negotiated. Martin was on top of it all. He was super sharp and most importantly took the time to understand all the issues, the players and the priorities. He set the gameplan and executed it so well. Martin is a great lawyer but he's also trustworthy, responsive and really kind. I've met a lot of lawyers and it's not easy to find this combination. When it comes to employment law, he is simply the best.

From the very beginning, he demonstrated deep expertise in employment law, a strategic approach to the issue, and a level of professionalism that immediately put me at ease. He took the time to understand the nuances of my situation, explained every step clearly, and advocated for me with precision and confidence. His guidance was not only legally sound but also empathetic — I always felt heard, protected, and empowered throughout the process. Thanks to his skill and persistence, we achieved a resolution that honored both my contributions and my rights. I’m truly grateful for his partnership and would highly recommend him to anyone navigating a challenging workplace matter.

I can't thank Ian Scharfman enough for the incredible support and legal expertise he provided during my two cases. From the very beginning, Ian took the time to understand my situation, and his dedication was apparent every step of the way. His professionalism, attention to detail, and in-depth knowl edge of the law helped me not only win both cases but also regain the confidence and strength I needed to get back on my feet. What really stands out about Ian is his genuine care for his clients. He was always available to answer questions, explain the legal process, and offer advice, no matter how big or small the issue seemed. His strategic approach to my cases was brilliant, and I never once doubted that he had my best interests at heart. Thanks to Ian, I’m not just in a better legal position but also in a much stronger place mentally and emotionally. He gave me the strength to move forward, and I will forever be grateful for his hard work and dedication. If you need an attorney who will fight for you, look no further than Ian Scharfman!

This was my first time consulting a lawyer for any reason, and Mr. Scharfman did an outstanding job guiding me through the entire process!

Jessica B. · employment law · May 2026

I realized that I needed representation for my discrimination case just a few days before meeting with the EEOC, and with such short notice, Ian agreed to be my council. He really knows how this process works and was extremely helpful with my settlement. I honestly could not have done this without his help. He guided me through every step and went above and beyond to be my voice, where I could not, and articulated my grievances better than expected. I would hire Ian Scharfman again multiple times over if I could.
