We were only looking for advice not thinking we had a case when we got in contact with attorney Eric Lambdin. After explaining our situation we were told we did have a case and he gave us great legal advice. This was our first time dealing with a legal situation and we were very stressed to say the least and Eric was so incredibly helpful. He genuinely cared about our situation and was happy to answer all the questions we had. He guided us through the whole ordeal always staying in contact and always a quick response. The outcome of our case was the best we could have hoped for and more. I hope we never have another legal issue in the future but if we ever did Eric would be our go to. He did an amazing job. Thank you

My mother-in-law passed away in June 2016, and although she had a will and a trust, we knew that family members would be an issue. We knew that it really didn’t matter what was in the documents she left, someone would fight the process. The first thing we did was to contract Mr. Wojcik to determine what the next step was. After speaking with him and his paralegal Regina, they put out minds at ease and we decided to retain their services. During the entire process which took over a year because of her accounts, possessions, and house, the process went smooth. The correspondence provided from Mr. Wojcik through Regina was always spot on. It was obvious that they knew the law and human nature at the same time. On numerous occasions, letters came from opposing lawyers which appeared to be issues, but our minds were put to ease by the responses. If you ever have to go through a process like this for a loved one, it only makes sense to hire someone that understands the process and has human compassion. I highly recommend Mr. Wojcik and his staff. They understand the law and the fees were very reasonable. Thanks again to the team. Sincerely. M&K N

Davis-Wojcik-Duarte Law Corporation Regarding Attorney Mr. Joseph Wojcik, Esq. The sudden death of my husband devastated our family. We didn’t have a Trust to protect our assets. Lawsuits arose and our estate went into probate. It was complicated, involving business, corporate, real estate, trust and family law matters.  Everything we’d achieved during our lifetime was in jeopardy. I chose Attorney Joseph Wojcik because of his excellent reputation in our community. “Joe” is known for his integrity, leadership, pro bono public service, and a trustee on the school board. He will work for you! Joe expertly guided me through a myriad of unforeseeable legal “bombshells” that emerged. His assistant, Paralegal - Mrs. Regina M. Anderson, remained in constant contact, providing emotional support, while giving instruction and clarification of my duties as Executor and Trustee of the Estate. The best advise I can give anyone reading this testimonial is to “put your house in order” long before the need arises. I rest assured, my children are well served by a Great Team - Mr. Joseph Wojcik, Esq and Paralegal Regina Andersen. Godspeed. -PTA

Frank is an honest, tough, and hard working lawyer. After being terminated from my job of 23 years I was devastated but Frank obtained justice for me. He fought long and hard to obtain what I deserved. My case was fought all the way through trial. Throughout years worth of litigation, trial, and almost a year post trial Frank always reassured me that the day would come when I got justice. He gave me great advice throughout my case. He listened to everything I said. He took my case personally and never gave up fighting for me. All along the way Frank had many small litigation victories that gave me the confidence to continue all the way through trial. He's was tough in action but caring and considerate of me. He knows exactly how to handle complicated employment disputes like mine! I am grateful to Frank for everything he did for me.

I met with several potential Lawyers who specialize in Employment Law and ultimately chose Mr. Alfonso due to his experience, attention to detail, and most importantly, ability to connect with me. He gave great guidance and advice throughout my entire case and stayed focused on the things that really mattered. He motivated me when I was down and assured me everything was going well when I was stressed. I will not hesitate to refer him to anyone I come across who has a legitimate Employment Law dispute.

As business owners, we are often faced with legal matters that can detract us from other business purposes. When such matters have arisen in my company, I have had the good fortune of being able to have my own legal team, Alan J, Leahy and his staff at the Leahy Law Firm, APC. Alan's knowledgeable experience and cost-benefit analytical approach has consistently delivered effective results. Throughout the years, Alan has proven to be a formidable advocate and legal representative of our company. His knowledgable experience and immediate responsiveness, has enabled me and my company to stay focused on business. Being able to reply and trust counsel to advocate and advise my partners and I, whether the issues are corporate or in litigation, has been a valuable asset to my company.

I have found the staff of the Leahy Law Firm to be effective and diligent in their work on our behalf. Alan has always been clear in explaining the different options, prospects, and approaches to resolving each matter in as cost-effective method as possible. We would certainly recommend the firm to others who need an intelligent and effective approach to their legal services.

I was put on the streets so I could not fight a case against police when the police illegally impounded my RV I was living in. I was getting harassed everyday by them, now homeless until I was able to put enough money together and bought a truck. 2 weeks after buying this truck outright from dealer for $3000, I was pulled over for no reason. It was literally just so they could impound my brand new truck again and keep me on the street homeless. I spent all I had on truck so I could not get it out of impound and they sold it at auction leaving me homeless with nothing once again. Completely unaware that the cops actually wrote a ticket for this incident, I missed the court date because of them leaving me homeless with nothing for the second time and can’t get mail. They are charging me with misdemeanor drug possession, misdemeanor possession of tear gas. Like wtf (I had a can of pepper spray on a keychain under the seat. There also was no drugs so no paraphernalia want to plead not guilty and fight the case but I don’t want to lose my bed at homeless shelter by going to jail until court date. How can I do this?

Deciding to take legal action is something I never thought I would be faced with; it's very personal, emotional, and not an easy feat. That's why choosing the right lawyer is the most important step in everyone's legal journey. I was lucky enough to have had such a wonderful attorney experience with Christina Cheung. She was my confidant and partner during a very difficult time in my life. I am so thankful for her dedicated service with my case. She was always available to chat when needed and her supportive voice/helpful guidance was instrumental in getting me through this challenging time in my life. I truly appreciate the time we spent together, and will always be thankful for her hard work! She is truly the best ;)

We had a fantastic experience working with Beatrice Phan Law for updating our family living trust. We had created, revised, and updated our trust over the past several years with three other estate attorneys previously, and I can say with certainty that Beatrice Phan Law provided the BEST and most thorough service and planning of them all. We especially enjoyed working with her client services director, Helen Pak, who is AMAZING-- exceptional listener, very attentive and thorough, warm and friendly, professional and kind...all at the same time. Beatrice has a clear process that she follows for her clients, which I appreciate. It's something that doesn't happen overnight, nor should it: creating or updating your trust is an important step in taking care of your family and loved ones, so it does require a lot of thought and time, especially if you need to have those deeper conversations with your spouse about things. Beatrice and Helen were great in working with our busy schedules as well as keeping us accountable and reminded of the upcoming follow-up appointments we had together. We greatly appreciate all that Beatrice and Helen have done in bringing us peace of mind and taking care of us.

Rich is one of the best attorneys in California - without question. I would recommend him, without reservation, for any employment, contract issues, union negotiation, labor & employment matter, training, litigation, etc, for which you need a strong and effective legal advocate - with a great deal of common sense.

We were lucky to find Deanna Stone and Aaron Morris of Morris and Stone Law Firm! I was being named in an Anti-Slapp case by Senator Catherine Blakespear. Morris and Stone jumped in, wrote the Judge a very well thought out and detailed statement with supporting evidence from previous Supreme Court cases demonstrating that I should not be named in the Anti-SLAPP. In the end the judge agreed with Morris & Stone's statement in its "Entirety". It was obvious the judge was impressed with Morris and Stone's defense. If I ever have any legal issues in the future I will certainly contact Aaron Morris and Deanna Stone. If you're reading this review I recommend you call them as well, they give a great consultation are extremely knowledgeable and fair. I'm very thankful that I found Morris & Stone!

She was genuinely interested in my problem and spent about 45 minutes talking to me and even told me to call her back if I had any other questions. Her advice was spot on and did not cost me a dime. In the event I do need an attorney in the future, I will definitely call Deanna again.

I put complete trust in Sally and her team to always act in my best interest to get me the best outcomes possible. Sally was very knowledgable about the credit card industry and I was impressed with the methods and strategies used to get me the best results possible. Throughout the process, Sally's team kept me well-informed and followed up tirelessly with the credit card companies. As of February this year I am 100% credit card debt-free thanks to Sally and her amazing team at West Themis Law.

As a seasoned business professional, I have retained at least 10 attorneys in the past for matters such as bankruptcy creditor actions, partnership disputers, labor law defense, customs disputes, commercial real estate and copyright actions. Of all the law firms my businesses have retained, Sally and her team at West Themis are by far, the most astonishing. They work 10x faster and more efficient than all of the attorneys and law firms that I've used. Sally's methods are very concise, methodical, and strategic. She filed a certain motion in a case that my former attorneys at a larger firm never did. With her firm, I got answers, strategy, and results at much lower rates. Sally is the managing partner at West Themis Law. This law firm has a team of attorneys and professionals that handle different related areas of law that helps them strategize and attack each matter with different areas of law. They don't do copyright. All in all, I am very impressed. I think their secret to delivering quality, fast, and affordable representation is because of Sally's management style and use of technology. Also, I am sure that not locating themselves in a high riser definitely translates to savings to their clients. Like I said, highly recommended.

I hired Kevin to represent me in a legal matter involving a workplace issue. During the year he represented me in this matter he was terrific - always available to answer questions and guide me, offered the right legal advice for my case and never backed down against my employer in order to do what was right and legal for me. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone seeking a lawyer and if need be, I would hire him again in a heart beat to represent me. I really can't say enough good things about Kevin - he is one terrific lawyer.

Mr. Hubbard superbly handled my case which centered around workplace harassment and intimidation. His professional and attentive approach to my needs throughout the process of negotiation is the reason I am writing this review and would recommend his services to anyone. None of my concerns were too frivolous and he was able to easily adjust his strategy to suit my time-table. I am extremely happy with our arrangement and the outcome of my legal matter.

Kevin and his team listened and asked great questions to understand my issue and handled it with great empathy and care. I always felt that they had my best interests at heart. When I called them they either answer right away or called back quickly - even emailed on weekends. Their guidance was valuable and helped me navigate very difficult circumstances. The outcome was in my favor and I was very satisfied with the results. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Kevin or the firm for any legal guidance / issue. They are professionals and care about their clients.

I had consultations with 3 different law firms 1 year ago. When I contacted Allred, Maroko & Goldberg I immediately knew they were the right firm to handle my matter. Michael Maroko made me feel very comfortable during the initial consultations. He has superb experience with discrimination and wrongful termination matters. He understood the situation clearly, thoroughly explained the pros & cons and options. The advice I received was genuine and factual. I was nervous as I did not know the legal process with employment law suits; Mr. Maroko was always very professional, empathetic, and approachable. He explained the process step by step each time there was a development. He fought relentlessly for me, always protecting my best interest. I had a very good and successful experience with Mr. Maroko. I would definitely recommend him to anyone who is in need of legal representation.

Mr. Maroko was my Family Law Attorney more that 30 years ago advising and helping me in matters related to child custody and child support. Although his practice has expanded far beyond what my needs were back then I just wanted to say in reflection these many years later how his honesty, ethics, and skill in the courtroom resolved satisfactorily what was best for my baby daughter. He always put the best interest of my daughter first. And the best advice he ever gave me as a single parent was, "Never Lie To Your Child, because if you do you will undermine your child's trust in you, and then who can your child trust?" And, "never speak badly of your child's father to your child because that will only create unnecessary conflict for your child." Thank you Mr. Michael Maroko for putting me on the right path as a single parent so many years ago which I believe contributed to the successes in my daughter's life today. I have no doubt you are still the same honest and ethical attorney today as you were with me over 30 years ago. I''m sure whoever enlists your services today in the areas of law you now practice will not be disappointed!

He pointed out areas in the agreement which I should be aware of, and identified clauses to possibly request to add and/or rescind. His office will be the first place I contact for any future legal needs in the area of employment law. Thank-you very much, Mr. Herrera.

I had contacted legal aid regarding family law advice and was given a few references. Larry was the only one over the phone that made me feel like a person he genuinely cared about and wanted to help. I was not looking to hire an attorney at the time, but just to get advice and assistance on the steps I should take for filing. After a couple months my situation got a little more complicated for someone with no legal expertise to continue on their own so I made an appointment to meet with Larry in person. As in most divorce cases, my ex was pretty hostile and I felt I had no one to turn to and help me thru the situation emotionally. Larry was available anytime day or night if I had questions/concerns and never failed to make me feel at ease. My case was finalized after a year and a half and I have recommended Larry to numerous friends in need of a family attorney. Although he no longer practices family law, I believe Larry carries the same qualities of compassion & integrity in all aspects of his career, and for that will remain a friend for life!

Thanks to my lawyer, Lorenzo Esteban Herrera, aka, "Larry Herrera," I felt really confident hiring him as my defense laywer over a lawsuit of "Grandparents visitation rights." I, as a parent, and recent widow, was left with accusations of money being owed to my ex-inlaws and also threatened by them to take away my daughter and have full or partial custody. Larry Herrera helped me defend myself as I had every right to in order to continue my life raising my daughter aswell as defending my rights as the beneficiary person on my wife's life insurance. The gavel dropped hard on my inlaws after being exposed of lying under oath and were only granted minimal visitation rights with my daughter at only once a month for a few hours under my terms and conditions instead of what my ex-inlaws were asking for which was; Spending the night every other weekend, holidays, birthdays, and vacation time. Im glad that Larry Herrera helped me with my case because the experience really gave me a sense of strength and courage after reaching victory when the judge ruled her judgement in my favor. I definitely recommend Larry Herrera Law Services to anyone that is being sued by any family member. The only personal advise i can give to anyone out there who is going thru a tough time like I was is to, “Have faith, be strong, and let Larry do the rest!” ;)

I was misled by my dealership and car manufacturer about my car being a lemon and was told I had no recourse. Larry gave me a free and fair appraisal of my case and told me he could help me out. I really felt that if he couldn't help me, he would be honest with me and not waste my time. A few months later Larry got everything taken care of and a buy back for my car. Larry took care of everything and I didn't have to do much more than sign a few documents and fax some papers to him. Most importantly his fee doesn't come out of your Lemon Law settlement. Couldn't recommend Mr. Hoddick enough.

I only had an over-the-phone consultation with Edrik, but through that I was able to tell that he's an honest and capable lawyer. Whereas I suspect many lawyers may attempt to collect money from you as soon as possible, Edrik was forthcoming enough to give me sincere advice as to why I should or shouldn't hire a lawyer for my legal claim. I could easily tell from just that encounter that Edrik puts the interests of his clients before the interests of himself and that he's certainly someone worth hiring.

We hired Ms. Stratton to assist us with a contractor we hired to remodel our home. They tried to serve us a bill nearly 50% more than our original bid. This is not an unusual practice when it comes to home building, but these guys were hiding costs and doubling time and supplies unnecessarily. We were unable to see how they were coming to the amount of the final bill. Ms. Stratton took our case and reviewed all the documentation of the remodel, such as change orders, how they were provided, how they calculated their hours and supervision and, through her expertise, brought transparency and clarity to our case. She ended up uncovering change orders that were not written correctly or given to us in a timely fashion per the law. She also discovered that we were being billed at a 300% mark up over our original contract vs. doubling the cost and time as how the billing should have been done. We wouldn't have been able to successfully dispute these charges without her expertise in the laws of business. She maintained professionalism and respect for all sides during our dispute. We were very impressed by her and would highly recommend her.

What a Wrongful Termination Lawyer Can Do for You

A wrongful termination lawyer specializes in representing employees who have been illegally fired or laid off from their jobs. Wrongful termination occurs when an employer violates federal or state laws, employment agreements, or public policy when dismissing an employee. These lawyers help clients understand their rights, evaluate the legality of their termination, and pursue legal action to recover damages such as lost wages, benefits, and emotional distress.

If you believe you have been wrongfully terminated, a lawyer can guide you through the complex legal process, negotiate with your former employer, and advocate on your behalf to achieve a fair resolution.

When Should I Hire a Wrongful Termination Lawyer?

You should consider hiring a wrongful termination lawyer if you have been fired under circumstances that may violate the law. Common reasons include:

  • Discrimination: If you were terminated based on your race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age (40 or older), disability, or genetic information, this may constitute illegal discrimination under federal laws like Title VII of the Civil Rights Act or the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).
  • Retaliation: If you were fired for reporting illegal activities, discrimination, harassment, or for participating in an investigation or lawsuit against your employer, this may be illegal retaliation.
  • Violation of Employment Contract: If you have an employment contract that outlines specific terms for termination and your employer breaches these terms, you may have a claim for wrongful termination.
  • Public Policy Violations: If you were terminated for reasons that violate public policy, such as refusing to engage in illegal activities, taking time off for jury duty, or exercising your legal rights (e.g., taking family medical leave), a lawyer can help.
  • Whistleblower Protection: If you were fired after reporting your employer's illegal activities to a government agency (whistleblowing), you may be protected under specific laws.

Hiring a lawyer promptly is crucial, as there are strict deadlines (statutes of limitations) for filing wrongful termination claims.

What Does a Wrongful Termination Lawyer Do?

A wrongful termination lawyer provides various services to help you pursue a claim against your former employer:

  • Case Evaluation: Assess the facts of your termination to determine if your employer violated any laws or breached your employment contract.
  • Legal Advice: Explain your rights under federal and state laws and advise on the best course of action.
  • Filing Claims: Assist in filing a complaint with appropriate government agencies, such as the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) or state labor departments, if required before suing.
  • Negotiation: Engage in settlement discussions with your former employer to seek compensation without going to court.
  • Litigation: Represent you in court if a lawsuit is necessary, presenting evidence, questioning witnesses, and making legal arguments to support your case.
  • Documentation and Evidence Gathering: Help collect and organize necessary documents, such as employment contracts, company policies, performance reviews, emails, and witness statements.
  • Protecting Against Retaliation: Advise you on how to handle any retaliation or further adverse actions from your former employer.

How Are Wrongful Termination Lawyers Paid?

Wrongful termination lawyers typically charge for their services in one of the following ways:

  • Contingency Fee: Many work on a contingency basis, meaning they only get paid if you win or settle your case. Their fee is a percentage of the compensation you receive, usually ranging from 25% to 40%.
  • Hourly Rate: Some lawyers charge an hourly rate, which can range from $200 to $600 or more, depending on experience and location.
  • Retainer Fee: A retainer is an upfront payment against which the lawyer bills their hourly rate. Once the retainer is exhausted, you may need to replenish it.
  • Flat Fee: For specific services, such as reviewing a severance agreement, a lawyer might charge a flat fee.

It's important to discuss payment arrangements during your initial consultation to understand how fees and expenses will be handled.

How Much Does a Wrongful Termination Lawyer Cost?

The cost varies based on the complexity of your case, the lawyer's experience, and the fee arrangement:

  • Contingency Fees: If you win or settle, the lawyer's fee will be a percentage of the award. For example, if you settle for $100,000 and the contingency fee is 30%, the lawyer receives $30,000.
  • Hourly Rates: Total costs depend on the number of hours worked. A straightforward case might require 20 hours ($4,000 to $12,000), while complex cases can exceed 100 hours.
  • Additional Expenses: Be aware of other costs such as court filing fees, costs for depositions, expert witness fees, and administrative expenses, which may be billed separately.

Always request a written fee agreement detailing all potential costs.

Top Questions to Ask a Wrongful Termination Lawyer

  1. What is your experience with wrongful termination cases similar to mine?
    Ensure the lawyer has relevant experience and a successful track record.
  2. How do you charge for your services?
    Understand the fee structure and any additional costs.
  3. What is the likely outcome of my case?
    Get an honest assessment of your chances of success and potential compensation.
  4. What is the estimated timeline for resolving my case?
    Know how long the process may take, from filing to settlement or trial.
  5. What steps will you take to build my case?
    Understand the strategy and what will be required from you.
  6. Will my case go to trial, or can it be settled out of court?
    Discuss the possibilities and implications of each option.
  7. How will you keep me informed about my case?
    Ensure there will be regular updates and open communication.

How to Check the Credibility of a Wrongful Termination Lawyer

  • Verify Their License: Check your state's bar association website to confirm the lawyer is licensed and in good standing.
  • Review Their Experience: Look for lawyers who specialize in employment law and have specific experience with wrongful termination cases.
  • Read Client Reviews: Websites like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, or Google Reviews can provide insights into the lawyer's reputation.
  • Ask for References: Reputable lawyers should be willing to provide references from past clients.
  • Professional Memberships: Membership in organizations like the National Employment Lawyers Association (NELA) indicates a focus on employment law.
  • Disciplinary Record: Ensure the lawyer has no history of disciplinary actions or complaints.

What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?

To make the most of your initial meeting:

  • Employment Documents: Bring your employment contract, employee handbook, offer letters, termination letter, and any severance agreements.
  • Performance Records: Include performance reviews, commendations, or any disciplinary actions.
  • Correspondence: Provide emails, texts, or memos related to your termination or any incidents leading up to it.
  • Witness Information: List names and contact information of colleagues who can support your claims.
  • Timeline of Events: Prepare a detailed account of events, including dates and descriptions of incidents.
  • Previous Complaints: If you filed complaints with HR or external agencies, bring copies.
  • Questions: Write down any questions you have about your case or the legal process.

Being well-prepared helps the lawyer assess your situation effectively and advise you on the best course of action.
