Vernon has been absolutely amazing. A year and half after I had been injured at work and after receiving medical treatment, it was time to start the settlement process. I was given an offer and wasn't sure if it was good. I found The Sumwalt Group on Google and saw the 5 star reviews. I reached out to them to see if I could get some advice. Vernon was the one to call me and gave me some wonderful free advice on countering and what would be a good amount. He also looked over the settlement agreement I received to make sure it wouldn't mess up any potential social security/disability in the future. Vernon made me feel like he cared and like he wanted the best for me on this settlement and helped me to avoid having to hire a lawyer and drag out the process. I hope I never get hurt on the job again, but if I ever do I will definitely reach out to them again.

Mr. Daniel Lyons worked relentlessly as my Attorney on my Employment Case, where he fought tirelessly for me for over a 10 month span, and during that time he consistently was dependable, knowledgeable, professional, amazing throughout the mediation process and most importantly he always kept me informed on the status of my case and coached me on what I needed to do to help him get me the best results. With a case so complicated, over so much time it is unbelievable how much information needs to be stored, processed, recorded, referenced, reframed and presented---Mr. Lyons has an impeccable photographic memory and was able to command the respect of EVERYONE in mediation, as he utilized all of the information collected over the ENTIRE case period to conclude MY BEST OUTCOME in this case!! He's just the BEST!

Missy & Megan came through in true time of need. Missy was referred to me through a friend, and I am so glad I went with her. Missy was informative about my divorce, emergency custody and custody. Megan was able to represent me in court and came prepared with all the documents needed to present to the judge. I never had to second guess any work, and they always kept me up to date on any upcoming court dates or rulings we received. I even called in for minor questions and Megan was always available to quickly answer. Megan, Missy and Lisa are a great team! I truly appreciate them.

I was in a car accident and contacted SeiferFlatow attorneys. They immediately had their Case Manager Todd contact me. Todd walked me through the whole process and kept me informed throughout the process. Adam Seifer also made phone calls to insurance companies and kept me up to date. The whole experience was easy and professional. My case was handled swiftly and within a very short time was settled. I highly recommend SeiferFlatow.

He is too cocky and arrogant.And he did not keep his word when he said he was going to help and make sure that I had information and other things he did not. Make sure.
You talk with him thoroughly.And you get things in writing.

I’m a social worker and speak with lots of people on a daily basis. He is very knowledgeable and I look forward to having him represent me in my matter against my employer. He is a caring attorney and knows when he has a claim and that is what you want. He picked out all elements of the claim and knew which he can tackle with confidence. With that being said, I know that there is no promise that a claim can 100% be achieved and he is upfront about that which is apart of their ethical responsibilities and speaks volume on his character.
Thank You,
Mr. Littlejohn

Herrmann and Murphy do a great job of managing their cost structure and hourly rates to optimize effectiveness at the lowest possible cost. I was very satisfied with their approach and could not be happier.
Kevin was my lead and Sean sat in to present a fearless front to our foe. Not only was I completely satisfied with the outcome but we also had quite a bit of fun on what easily could have been a stressful event.
If you want serious legal representation from extremely capable attorneys who do not take themselves too seriously, feel comfortable aligning with Herrmann and Murphy.

Kevin is an experienced attorney who listened well to my situation. He has handled cases like mine before and worked with my former employer previously. He set reasonable expectations from the beginning, let me know what would likely happen and followed through on what he committed to doing. My case had a positive outcome. The process worked just as Kevin had outlined. He and Sean communicated with me all through the process. I would recommend him and his firm without reservation.

Laura Noble was recommended to me by another lawyer that I know well. She agreed to take a look at my case to see if she felt that she would be able to assist me obtain a favorable outcome. A demand was sent to my former employer which unfortunately fell on deaf ears. Despite this, Laura kept continuing to advocate on my behalf until it became apparent that a decision had to be made on how the case could move forward. Due to her heavy workload and the actual case facts, she wasn't able to take my case through litigation but we mutually agreed that litigation wasn't the best avenue based on the circumstances. She also provided me with an additional resource should I decide to litigate my case. Laura was receptive, helpful, responsive, knowledgeable and fought hard for me. What I really liked about Laura most was that she was direct and to the point and told me up front what her expectations were and how she would fight for me. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a hard-working and well respected professional lawyer in the employment law field.

My experience was positive and I am grateful that I chose the Noble Law firm to represent my case.
I was referred to Noble Law Firm by other lawyers whom I called directly for advice prior to actually speaking to Laura, which gave me an immediate sense of confidence that my case will be handled by experts. Indeed, the Noble Team Firm demonstrated excellence in their expertise in addition to their already known extensive legal work experience and stellar academic background. From initial interview by Laura who spoke to me immediately on the same day I called the firm, followed by Deirdre who immediately took care of the paperwork and scheduled a meeting with Nick (as my lawyer) for office consultation proved efficiency and commitment to my case. From my first conversation with Nick, you become aware of his integrity and knowledge, and more over the passion he exudes for his work. Any concern or question I had was immediately addressed; any information I requested was promptly forwarded; and phone calls were answered in a timely manner. My opinion and thoughts regarding my case when discussed with my lawyer were treated with respect and attention and I think that’s important in a lawyer-client relationship. I felt validated that my input was heard and I received an honest response, which showed my lawyer took the time to listen and deciphered information pertinent to the case.
From experience, I strongly believe the Noble Law Firm can help resolve cases (simple or complex) on employment- related matters. It took 3 months for Noble Law Firm to resolve the case but throughout, both Laura and Nick continued to show honesty, genuine warmth and kindness. They cared and were strategic in seeking resolution for their client’s best interest.
I highly recommend the Noble Law Firm without reservation to anyone seeking legal representation on employment matters. Thank you so much!

What a Sexual Harassment Lawyer Can Do for You
A sexual harassment lawyer specializes in representing individuals who have experienced unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, or other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature that affects their employment or creates a hostile work environment. These lawyers help victims understand their rights under federal and state laws, such as Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, and guide them through the process of filing complaints, negotiating settlements, or pursuing litigation. They also assist employers in implementing anti-harassment policies, conducting investigations, and defending against claims.
Whether you're an employee facing harassment or an employer seeking to address or prevent harassment claims, a sexual harassment lawyer can provide the legal expertise needed to navigate these sensitive issues.
When Should I Hire a Sexual Harassment Lawyer?
You should consider hiring a sexual harassment lawyer in the following situations:
-
For Employees:
- Experiencing workplace harassment: If you are subjected to unwelcome sexual advances, comments, or behavior that creates a hostile or offensive work environment, a lawyer can help you understand your rights and the steps to take.
- Retaliation for reporting harassment: If you've reported harassment to your employer and are facing retaliation such as demotion, termination, or other adverse actions, a lawyer can help protect your rights.
- Failure of employer to address complaints: If your employer does not take appropriate action after you've reported harassment, a lawyer can advise on how to escalate the matter legally.
- Constructive dismissal: If the harassment is so severe that you feel forced to resign, a lawyer can help you pursue a claim for constructive dismissal.
- Negotiating settlements: If you're considering a settlement with your employer, a lawyer can negotiate on your behalf to ensure you receive fair compensation.
