Working with HKM was a very easy process. I was having issues at work and Shifa was quick to help and answered all my questions. She worked quickly to be in contact with others and kept in touch with me regularly to keep me updated. Hopefully I never have any other concerns or issues but if I do, I will be contacting her.

I had a GREAT experience with Shifa! Upon reaching out to her, I had a meeting within the week, and my issue (that had been ongoing for over seven weeks) was resolved within ONE week of my consultation! So grateful for my experience, 10/10 would recommend.

Shifa has been amazing and I would absolutely recommend her to anyone. She goes above and beyond for her clients! Professional , hardworking , and very good communication.

After researching for two weeks, I chose to work with HKM Employment Attorneys and was paired with Shifa Alkhatib. At that time of choosing an attorney, I was very nervous and after talking to two other attorneys and then Shifa with HKM, I finally felt a little more settled with my decisions and only more as time passed. Before even moving forward with the case, Shifa ensured I had all the information up front, all my questions were answered, and everything I needed was done to perfection. (All the while I was dealing with massive PTSD and anxiety, in which I cannot begin to speak enough on how incredibly she handled me during such a hard time in my life, if not the hardest). I'd never dealt with anything before, like the issues I'd faced with this employer.. Shifa Alkhatib made me feel as though she truly had my best interest at heart. She understood what I was trying to accomplish, explaining everything along the way in full detail (which was very important to me as a VERY detail oriented person). I never had to wait to be contacted, she was always on the ball, on time and far exceeded what I had ever expected in an attorney, her communication skills far exceeded what I imagined! Now I may have taken the cake for her most difficult case, or close to it... However with the rapport Shifa built with me, the trust, respect (which is my biggest thing) and communication; I was able to finally let go of most of my anxiety surrounding it all, (solely because of my trust in Shifa) and just let it be what it would. She fought with every last legal tactic she had at her disposal, using outside professionals, consulting her partner etc. In the end, the case settled out of court and I could never say enough good things about Shifa and her team at HKM Employment Attorneys! Enough so, that yes, my case may have been her most/more difficult case(s), but regardless, she worked harder than I could've ever asked for or imagined. So yes, after everything was said an done I brought the office some donuts and a card, and Shifa, flowers and card with a thank you gift. Because that's what you do in my book when you're as grateful as I am.

If you are looking for an employment attorney, it is because you are facing an important, complex issue. I called HKM, was referred to Shifa Alkhatib. After my initial conversation, I knew she was a great choice!!! She proved to be highly knowledgeable, very professional, an excellent tactical negotiator, and very client-focused. She was a beacon of hope at a time when my options appeared limited. Her legal expertise helped me fully understand the complex legal process, what my likely outcomes were and guide me through to the best options available. I cannot thank her enough for all she did for me with my situation, it meant a great deal to me and my family. I will always be grateful for her attitude of "Above and Beyond" to me as her client. Would give her 10 stars..., no, 100 stars if I could.

I recently hired Mrs. Alkhatib to represent me in my employment case. I can't say enough positive things. First, she was methodical and strategic. She was able to dig into my case to determine the best strategy almost immediately. She then discussed the different options and the process that she felt would return the best results for me while leaving all my options available. She was very strategic in her communications with my employer's attorney and this produced the result I was looking for. Ms. Alkhatib's experience, knowledge, and ability to advise and guide me were exactly what I needed. I would recommend her for anyone in need of an employment law attorney.

Shifa represented my on an employment case where I was wrongfully terminated. My former employer is a large billion dollar company who does not shy away from employment cases. After Shifa presented the facts to the opposing counsel and mediator in a very precise manner and as result I received a stress-free settlement that was twice as much as I expected.

She is great knows what she is doing and breaks it down for you know understand she's helped me out and explained it all to my understanding love her and her work thanks alot

I consulted with Shifa. She was empathetic, helped me to understand my case more in-depth & was extremely informative. I highly recommend her and I am sincerely thankful for her time and expertise.
