Cynthia was great! Very helpful and made the entire process less stressful than it needed to be. I would recommend her to anyone. Thank you Cynthia.

I came to Yvette Everhart with a very difficult, multi-faceted predicament. Ms. Everhart was kind and compassionate and she was also very astute asking all the right questions. She provided me with several viable solutions geared toward my ability to carry them out. Ms Everhart gave her recommendation for each solution that she provided, thoroughly advised me of my legal rights and advised me to give this some thought. I retained her services once I decided the best way to go in order to achieve resolution. Ms Everhart was with me every step of the way, She kept me informed. I felt cared for but best of all, knowing I had a brilliant mind working for my great outcome helped me survive one of the most trying times of my life. My case resulted in getting exactly what I wanted and more. I ended up with a very positive outcome and more importantly; I ended up emotionally, intellectually and physically intact. So much so, that I went on to accept the job of a lifetime with a major technology company. I believe that Ms. Everhart was instrumental in helping me achieve those things.

Dear Ms. Sass, I would like to express our extreme gratitude to you for the insightful, topnotch, highly professional and compassionate legal services you recently provided to me during my resolution of a critical and pressing legal matter. There is nothing more important than finding an expert legal advocate to guide and assist when negotiating a situation involving something as important as work-related discrimination, FMLA, and wrongful termination/resignation issues. I performed research prior to selecting you, an expert in this field, to provide me with legal services. You came to me highly recommended, from numerous personal sources. You successfully negotiated a very difficult settlement for a close friend of mine, ultimately achieving his goals. Your reputation within the legal community precedes you as being the most talented and accomplished Tampa Labor and Employment Lawyer representing employees; one who has vast expertise in the areas of wrongful termination, FMLA, discrimination, negotiations and/or litigations. What I found from working with you personally is that you will pursue representation of a legal matter in a way that benefits your client the most in reaching his/her personal goals. I had been advised that you are a masterful legal bull dog, one who will not quit in fighting for the rights of your clients, be it through reaching a negotiated settlement or bringing a case to trial. My own personal experience with you supports every recommendation that I had received about you. It is all true. Thank you for reworking your own schedule to provide me with an initial consult, when you became aware that time was of the essence. You provided me with your undivided attention for an initial consultation, while hearing the story, validating claims from a legal standpoint and providing me with your initial recommendations on how best to proceed. Being a lawyer myself, I know the value of your time, and the great value of a shrewd, brilliant lawyer, who is top in her field and on top of her game as a fierce adversary. That is the kind of lawyer I sought out and needed. Another thing that I soon learned about you, is that you care so incredibly much about fighting on behalf of an individual that you feel has been wronged, the underdog. You are very passionate about making a victim feel heard and affirmed and a Company ( or a School District) accountable in the case where you determine that Federal laws have been breached and a legal cause of action exists. You have vast experience handling sensitive legal issues with the discretion and care required. Equally important is your ability to assess the overall picture from a legal standpoint, and to file a lawsuit on a behalf of a client or encourage trying to first reach a negotiated settlement, if, and only if, you feel that it might be in the best interest of the individual involved. You have shown me personally that you are not about the money, you are about providing the best legal advice and service. You are about helping someone who has legitimately been wronged. You are an awesome person and top legal advocate, Ms. Sass. I am so thankful that I have you in my legal corner. You are the very best lawyer and I thank you for helping me to resolve a legal issue , when for a number of reasons I was unable to see the forest through the trees and advocate on my own behalf. Sincerely Yours, Choosing Anonymity due to sensitive nature of this existing claim

Everyone at the Sass Law Firm was very helpful. From the time I first contacted the firm to the end of the process they were great. If you ever have the need for not only a very competent attorney but a very competent staff you should consider hiring this firm for your legal needs.

This sentiment is shared before the outcome of our five-day trial is known, because these feelings do not stem from a favorable outcome and would not change with an unfavorable one. To each member of the Sass Law Firm – I appreciate and respect every single one of you so much! It has truly enriched my life in knowing you throughout this process and witnessing the way you pour your heart and soul into a case, and your skillfulness, fairness and ethics, thoroughness, professionalism, knowledge, and the way you work together as a stellar team, and – the most lasting on my heart – your compassion. That includes the recent circumstances with my son being admitted to the ICU the morning of our second day of trial (for which you never let be known the huge inconvenience I know that delay and continuance of trial caused), and well beyond – you never even made me feel badly the first morning of trial when I misjudged needed travel and parking time and arrived late. I will always be so grateful to you for believing in me that first day I came to your office and pleaded for help and your expertise – particularly in having felt like the 'little guy' against the 'big guy,' and understanding the hurdle of overcoming a favorable presumption toward a legal professional who is expected to be held to a high standard of ethics. In searching for the best representation when it was needed, so many legal professionals and different resources led me to you. You didn't need or want my case, yet you believed in me and fought so hard for me. If the outcome should not be in my favor for some reason, it will certainly not be because of any shortcomings on this end – on the contrary, I feel you fought for me with the same determination, expertise, and thoughtful judgment that you would have if I were your very own family. From the deepest place in my heart, I am so grateful for that and for all of you! Jennifer

Felt my employer issue was never taken seriously. Glib follow-up phone call ending with offer to suggest another firm. To me, means to obtain retainer was a concern. Perhaps I didn't explain myself well. I'm an executive but a layperson regarding law. Based on personal referral to Sass Law, antipated attorney would help me determine if an injustice occurred. Might ask me questions, request further detail, assess value of documentation brought to consult and offer guidance on usefulness of documentation I didn't bring.

Ms. Everhart represented me and helped me with all the problem I was having with my current employer. Ms. Everhart was understanding and patient with me at all time. She guided me through every stage of my struggle. No one at my work bothers me now knowing she is on my side. I am supper happy I got to know her and that she was my attorney. I am very grateful. You are the best. Thank you so very much.

Ms. Everhart represented me concerning my former employer. She was clear and to the point of all the options. She followed through and did exactly as she stated. The conclusion was better than I anticipated. Her professional and compassionate attitude was appreciated during the stressful time of my case.

On Thursday April 6th 2016 my wife visited with Cynthia Sass. I attended the meeting as my wife has been going through a particularly bad issue at work. We found Cynthia to be caring, compassionate,and very easy to talk with about this most difficult issue. We found her insights extremely valuable and her council prudent in helping my bride of 26 years navigate through these tough times.

Listened to all of my concerns and answered all of my questions. Explained the entire process. Went the extra mile with the opposing attorney. Very professional and I recommend if you are in need contact Yvette

Cynthia is simply the best employment law attorney in the Tampa Bay area. I am always impressed with an attorney with the legal chops and the stamina to dare to stand up for what is right (there are a lot of lazy lawyers out there). Cynthia is experienced, tenacious, intelligent, with the right connections to accomplish whatever a case requires. She is a creative thinker, and is highly committed to getting to a favorable resolution for her client, whatever it takes. She handles claims professionally, listens, and responds quickly to any questions or inquiries. And when she needs to deliver forceful legal moves, she does so with precision.

Yvette Everhart represented me in negotiations with my ex employer. She was fast in grasping all of the issues and complexities. Her analysis and advice was unemotional, and direct. Negotiations proceeded aligned to her forecast, and ultimately to a successful outcome. Her initial fee quote was close to accurate. She was efficient in her file handling and did not rack up questionable costs.
