Cecilia Brennan conducted a legal training for my organization earlier this year. She has strong expertise, she's professional, organized and a pleasure to work with. I'd recommend her to anyone!

Great service! Trabajar con Cecilia Brennan fue una magnífica experiencia. Yes, bilingual. She helped us in the legal aspects of worker owned cooperatives via zoom with powerpoint allowing us to have an important Q&A session at the end. -César Castro/East LA Community Corporation - Community Wealth Department

Cecilia Brennan went above and beyond to provide participants in our workshop an excellent training on the legal considerations of starting a worker owned cooperative. We had to revert to an online session at the last minute due to COVID-19 and Cecilia was still able to deliver a presentation that went above expectations.

I believed I was unfairly terminated from my employer of 33 years and sought the counsel from HKM. Cecilia Brennan provided not only excellent advice and assistance, but listened and supported me in what was a very stressful and sad time in my professional career. Thanks to her and the firm I was able to self-advocate and obtain additional separation pay. I highly recommend HKM and especially Cecilia for employment issues.

I highly recommend HKM Employment Attorneys especially Cecilia Brennan in the SD office! She is very personable, responsive, knowledgeable, thorough and was able to advise me through a complex employment matter that crossed state lines. I also found that she was able to translate the "legal position" into words I could understand. Overall, I would encourage anyone struggling with an employment issue to reach out to Ms. Brennan for advice. I also found that the price was excellent value considering the complexity of the matter.

Cecilia was wonderful and did an amazing job. Throughout the process, she was very considerate and made sure that we were on the same page when moving forward with the dispute. I never felt pressured and she made sure I didn’t settle for less than I deserved, metaphorically.

I can't say enough great things about Cecilia. Not only is she very responsive but she also checked in on me throughout the process. She was awesome to work with, knowledgable, & to the point - and truly made things very easy during a stressful time. She went above and beyond for me and I will absolutely be reaching out to her in the future for any employment legal advice.

Cecilia Brennan and Daniel Kalish helped me with a number of issues I had with my [now former] employer. They were incredibly responsive and understanding of my unique situation from the start. Throughout the process, they gave me really sound advice and always took the route I was most comfortable with. They listened and heard me with a genuine sympathy. Their excellent negotiating skills with counsel for a very large global corporation helped me to receive nearly 10x more compensation than I would have without Cecilia and Dan’s representation. I am very grateful I found them and I would encourage anyone experiencing illegal work treatment/conditions to trust their expertise.

I am so incredibly grateful to have Cecilia Brennan represent me through what probably was the most challenging time in my professional career. Not only is Cecilia professional and an expert in her field; she really shines in her genuine compassion and empathy - and that made all the difference! As someone who have never been in a situation like this, Cecilia was so patient and communicative throughout the whole process. Dan Kalish also helped advise me in this case, I’m thankful for his expertise (and humor!) - Dan definitely helped calm my nerves and made the situation less scary. It honestly meant a lot that they both listened to me, heard my struggle, and fought for me. The entire process was thoroughly explained to me, from confusing contractual jargon to any questions that I had - no matter how strange, billing and fees were also transparent. I was always offered honest, realistic legal counsel, and was never pressured into agreeing to something I was not comfortable with - which was an initial fear of mine. If you’re looking for representation and counsel, look no further than the fierce advocates over at HKM. Thank you so much Cecilia & Dan!

Cecillia was awesome to work with, she was extremely competent, understanding, and surprisingly responsive. She, and the team at HKM definitely provided the balance of legal power and leverage I needed to protect my interests. Would work with her again or recommend her in a heartbeat.

I can not say enough good things about Cecilia and the team at HKM. Cecilia walked me through the difficult process of litigation with a brilliant strategic process and also a caring and compassionate attitude. I hope I never need to use her services again, but if I do I would not trust anyone else with my case. Do yourself a favor and give Cecilia a call to find out for yourself how she can help you.

I recently connected with Cecilia to review an employment contract. She went above and beyond to make sure I understood line for line what everything means. She also offer her opinion but made it my clear, it was my choice to take things our or keep them in the contract. She has great people skills because she made it easier to trust her opinion. Overall I strongly recommend everyone to work with Cecilia in the future.
