I'm one of those old school guys who has ran a business on a handshake and some basic guidelines. I've paid my employees very well, been very kind to them and paid them like my contemporaries have. After getting my first letters from the Labor Commissioner, I got some real bad advice too. After the Retaliation guy called me, I was standing over a cliff watching 30 years of work ready to go crashing down. After searching the web and making a few phone calls, Lisa Sherman was the attorney I hired. I liked that I actually talked to the owner. This is not a story that was going to have a happy ending. Lisa was very up front about that. This was about knowing the system, how to deal with all parties involved and create a scenario where we could reach a reasonable settlement rather than letting this go all the way forward. Lisa let me do some ground work. We met and came up with a game plan. She communicated well, keeping me in the loop. Settlement day came and when she went into action it was impressive. Calm, cool and collected, Lisa presented the numbers. She found an obscure formula that calculated overtime for piecework employees that saved me a lot of money. Lisa knew how she wanted this scenario to play out and willed it to happen. In 45 minutes it was over with everyone smiling. We reached a reasonable settlement and had a great weight lifted off my shoulders. Lisa works tirelessly, is knowledgeable and patient. I found her to be a person who knew how something was going to play out and used her skill and expertise to make it happen. Lisa will be a good resource going forward also. Guess I have learned that staying in business is as important as being in business. I would recommend Lisa Sherman in a heartbeat.

Lisa is our go to employment lawyer for California. She has assisted us with complex classification issues and many other employee disciple/termination and wage/hour matters. She is very responsive and thorough and would highly recommend her.

I engaged Ms. Sherman to research and present a legal education course on the subject of legal ethics in the age of social media. She did an outstanding job. She researched the topic very thoroughly and developed a highly informative presentation on the subject.

When my attorney was unable to take a deposition of a third party in my litigation case last year, Lisa stepped in at the last minute. I was so impressed by her knowledge of my case, the legal issues, and how effectively she deposed the third party witness whose admissions turned out to be critical to my case. Soon after, opposing counsel, two attorneys from a large law firm, started inundating my attorney, Pam, with lots of motions while tying her up all day in depositions that were far from her office. Thankfully, Pam asked Lisa to assist and join her as co-counsel on my case. It turns out that because of Lisa’s extensive experience litigating my legal issues on behalf of employers, she was the perfect fit to join our team. Lisa was critically important in defeating my employer’s motions for summary judgment, not to mention, all of the emergency motions and pre-trial filings that followed. Even when there were a lot of unanticipated setbacks, Lisa always stayed positive and successfully adjusted our strategy. After our judge issued a 43 page single-spaced order denying my employer’s motion for summary judgment, the win was short-lived because my employer quickly filed a motion for reconsideration which was granted before my attorneys even had a chance to respond. Lisa spearheaded the efforts to seek emergency relief which ultimately resulted in reinstating all of my claims for trial. While my case was resolved the week before trial, I know that Lisa’s contributions to my case were instrumental. If you are considering whether to retain Lisa, look no further. Eric B.

Lisa went above and beyond my expectations. She was attentive and diligent in her work. I found her to be extremely helpful in assessing my case and produced positive results for me. I would highly recommend her to anyone in need of a employment and labor attorney.

When you hire Lisa as your attorney you are hiring a human being first, and that is exactly how you will be treated. Lisa took my case and from day one she made me feel like she was in my corner and would fight for me. She not only treated me with respect but as if I was a member of her own family. With Lisa I hired an attorney and ended up with a true friend for life. Not only would I recommend Lisa to anyone looking for an employment attorney I will use Lisa in for any and all of my businesses in the future. Her knowledge of the law is exceptional and you will always be treated like a person and not a percentage. What more can I say about Lisa? Hire her!!!

I was referred to Lisa because I had a difficult labor law issue. I found her work to be thorough, on time and extremely helpful in resolving the matter. Lisa's integrity and persistence helped me resolve the matter to my satisfaction. I would recommend her unreservedly to those who need help in the labor law area and who don't want to pay the heavy overhead charges of large or even mid-sized law firms.

It was great working with Lisa Sherman. You always feel that she "has your back." She is very prompt at responding to all concerns and interprets legal matters in a comprehensible way. And she got us very positive results. Highly recommended.

Lisa has worked as co-counsel with our firm on multiple, complex legal matters over a period of years. She is an experienced, effective litigator with great research, writing, client, and court room skills. She has done outstanding work on every matter she assisted us with and has made our lawyers and our clients very happy to have had her on our side.

I have had the pleasure working with Lisa Sherman for many years. She is a smart, savvy attorney who commits herself fully to all of her cases. She is a fierce litigator and is not afraid to ask the difficult, but necessary questions. She is especially skilled with employment matters and understands the nuances of employment law. I cannot recommend her highly enough.

I've worked with Lisa over the past 3 years and she is extremely knowledgeable. She brings years of first hand experience and knows what you need for your business regardless of the size. Lisa will make sure your business is in compliance and that your HR practices and agreements are up to today's standards. Furthermore, Lisa is very personable and a joy to work with. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a sharp and experienced labor attorney.
