After my consultation with Michelle, I knew I wanted to work with her. She was knowledgeable, responsive and immediately inspired trust and confidence. After receiving a suspicious warning letter (after 8 years of exceptional performance) and ultimately being laid off, Michelle helped me assess my options and ensure I got the most fair deal possible. Great, practical advice in a time that can be extremely stressful! I highly recommend her for any employment related matter.

Michelle was fantastic! For a case with some uncertainty for me, she talked me through all of the issues (and potential issues) during our first consultation. Through reasoned discussion and probing questions, Michelle was able to guide me to understanding a difficult situation. Highly recommend Michelle and her entire team!

Michelle and her team worked effortlessly to assist in my wrongful termination case. Their attention to detail and compassion for my case made working with Michelle’s firm hassle free. I honestly felt like I was working with a friend who truly cared and knew the laws that my former employer was not in compliance with. I wouldn’t look further if you are in need of an employment attorney, this firm by far raises the bar. Thank you Michelle and team for a case that was resolved in a professional and compassionate manner.

I hired Michele to help me assess my options when I was "reorged" out of my corp sales position of 19+ years as a top performing member of a couple protected classes. Was forced to exit..their narrative did not match facts and was clearly a politically driven decision. Michele is practical, knows the corporate game and she steered me to the best outcome we could have hoped for. Could not have asked for better, more practical advice and her advocacy on my behalf to opposing counsel was brilliant as well. Would highly recommend her for any employment related matter.

Ms Matheson was thorough in analyzing the situation and provided excellent counsel.

I cannot say enough good things about Michelle. Not only is she extremely knowledgeable and a fantastic attorney, she is also very thorough and responsive - which was sincerely appreciated! She takes the time to explain things in a way that is easy to understand, and you can tell she wants the best outcome for her clients. She absolutely went above and beyond and I am very grateful to have found her to represent me. Hiring her was one of the best decisions I ever made!

Michelle helped me navigate a termination situation with my employer of nearly 30 years. A reporting change suddenly made my value as a long term, excellent rated employee turn to one of termination in less than 60 days. Michelle helped me recognize what was happening, stay focused and take steps to protect my retirement eligibility, pension and communicate effectively with my Boss and HR. It was a difficult period of time, but with Michelle in the background providing counsel, I made the best decisions for me and my family to retire and live to fight another day. Highly recommend Michelle for any employee who needs help when their employment turns adversarial.

I am extremely pleased that I worked with Michelle. I truly appreciated her candidness and her professionalism. She guided me through an exit and because of her legal expertise we concluded with a positive outcome. She most definitely has the knowledge and expertise and I highly recommend her.

Michelle represented me through a very difficult period, following my removal from an executive role at a major firm where I had spent many years. She gave me sound advice regarding the viability of a wrongful termination lawsuit. She ended up negotiating an executive retirement package, and I'm very happy with the result. Michelle knows the law and gives honest feedback about one's options. She was a calming influence throughout a very stressful period. I would definitely recommend her.

Michelle negotiated a more favorable outcome for a complex separation agreement. She listened to understand what was most important to me and then successfully restructured a one-sided agreement, provided a balanced and realistic assessment each side’s positions, and was extremely responsive in time sensitive situations.

Michelle was fantastic - objective, reasonable - a real advocate. She is direct and honest about your situation and helps get the result that is appropriate under the circumstances.

We hired Michelle Matheson to look into a case involving the wrongful termination of a student from a very rigorous program of study. Michelle immediately analyzed the allegations presented and conducted a swift inquiry into the circumstances surrounding the termination. After Michelle agreed to take us on as clients, she ensured our interests were taken seriously by all parties involved and worked tirelessly to come up with a solution. She quickly coordinated with applicable officials & professionals outlining and citing violations of federal disability statutes. Her sound counsel brought favorable resolution to the case and gave the student a much deserved opportunity to continue pursuit of a career in medicine. Michelle represented our interests in an outstanding manner and kept us informed throughout the entire process. As we came to resolution, Michelle was very honest and upfront on all issues from culpability to cost. Simply put, Michelle and her team were fantastic! I highly recommend her legal services.
