Really helped me out with my ADA issue

I worked for my employer for over 20 years. They were going to terminate my employment after learning I had a disability. Mrs. Janet Wise took my case base on the Americans with Disabilities Act and saved my job and my retirement. My employer now has a new perspective on employees with disabilities. Mrs. Wise would respond to my emails and phone calls even after hours and on weekends! Awesome job!

Very smart Super Lawyer. Very pricey.

No different than any other Employment Attorney. A waste of time because it wasn't a big ticket case. Made me believe they wanted to help and paid $1,500 for them to send a letter. Before there was even a answer back, they wanted more money knowing already this was not something I could put a lot into. Refused contingent (wouldn't make enough) so gave me a outlandish price to represent me knowing my answer. They are part of the problem with this unjust system when it comes to employee protection from employers. Then send me a letter saying I owe $15 more! Absolutely ridiculous and complete waste of time and money. They took advantage and took my hardship and made it worse knowing they were not going to help me! Always about the money and never about what is right! What happen to standing up for others?! Doing what is right?! Oh ya....all about the money!

Excellent attorneys. They were responsive and available and knew exactly how to handle my case. I would heartily recommend this law firm to anyone.

Professional, these days, unfortunately, a scare commodity. Bravo.

Tentative

We had a meeting with Ms. Everhart in November. I feel we got excellent advice, and she spent over an hour with us, so I didn't feel rushed. We were referred to the NLRB, and she said that she would start there because you don't need an attorney. We are awaiting the outcome of that case, and either way, we will come back to Sass law firm for representation with a related EEOC matter. We had called several firms and did an "intake" with somebody that screens cases, 2 called back and said they wouldn't represent us. So the bonus here - even if you are paying $250 - is that you will be heard by an attorney and given legal advice Update: The employer settled with us. I would have preferred to go to court, but my husband already had a new job. The former employer did have to post in their offices some sort of notice advising employees of their rights. Until the gov't allows stiffer penalties for employers that violate NLRB laws, the cost of a settlement is just a cost of doing business.

Great experience with Ms. Wise at this law firm. They truly worked exceptionally hard to reach a positive resolution to my case. Highly recommend as tough female lawyers dedicated to the eradication of gender discrimination in the workplace!

She was "great" until it came down to negotiation in mediation with the same group that she later would go on to do deals with, Hillsborough County. What was a "strong fighter" became silent at the negotiation table, leaving the client to fight on their own. Later I put 2 and 2 together, she was protecting her future position to negotiate by caving and going silent during the mediation process -- knowing she would meet these same people in the future since she made part of her money from suing Hillsborough County. She looks like a nice Quaker lady, but don't trust the exterior.

I went in on 11/15/17 to have a counsultation with an attorney.( Yvette Everhart).I wanted a counsultation with Mrs.Sass but she was not available.From the beginning of the counsultation I didn’t feel like I was being heard at all.She was just going through the routine.It was as if she wasn’t engaged or interested in what I was saying or asked to see any of the evidence I had to support my case and I had plenty.I never felt like she cared about my ordeal at all.She just went through the motions because I paid $250.00 for the consultation.Only to later tell me if I wanted them to represent me in my mediation I would have to pay $4,000 of FRONT!!! Let ‘s be really real.Most people that have employment litigations don’t have a job anymore or they are getting unemployment benefits which max out at $552.00 bi-weekly for approximately 3 months.That’s if you get the most allowed.Where do you expect people to get that kind of money for representation?It’s bad enough you charge people $250 for the initial consultation only to gamble on whether or not you will represent us.My suggestion to everyone is to do your research and don’t get caught up on awards and aclamades.This firm is all about the money,not defending the client only if you have unlimited cash.Horrible experience!!!!!
