With a property in Atlanta, Georgia and a full family presence in the State of Florida, maintaining a distant property was an ordeal for my mother. A property that no longer held her interest, Refuge Law went well beyond their means to assist us with the resolution of the property. At every turn, we were assisted and no situation was left uncovered to satisfy all the parties involved. This is a matter that has brought comfort to the family and has allowed my mother to breath easy from this point on. We truly appreciate the services provided to us by Refuge Law.

I requested Troy to be my closing attorney, and he was absolutely amazing! Troy is very knowledgable and personable. He was able to exceptionally explain the closing process to me, and he always responded fairly promptly to my requests/answers. I would absolutely work with him again in the future!

I found Ms Oluyemi to be extremely knowledgeable regarding employment law and fair employment practices. One of the things that impressed me the most was the case law that she discovered to support the facts of my case. Ms Oluyemi has familiarity with other professionals and firms in the industry. This was very helpful in knowing the audience of opposing counsel. It is obvious that she has a passion for what she does. Other factors were a 5 start such as integrity, timely responses, organized, legally articulate and professional. I highly recommend Ms Oluyemi to represent anyone!

Troy Refuge with Refuge Law provided beyond excellent service with all of my real estate needs. I highly recommend him. Troy’s knowledge in Law and Real Estate and his great Customer Care makes him The Best of the Best.

Troy did a great job helping me during a real estate transaction. He is very knowledgeable and thorough. He also was accessible and if I had any questions, he quickly responded to them. He also followed up regarding any requests made to the other attorneys involved in the transaction to ensure that they remained prompt. I highly recommend Troy for all of your legal needs!

Sheri Oluyemi is a brilliant, impartial, and candid attorney who was recently successful in helping me to receive a favorable verdict against a federal entity that’s statistically difficult to win against especially if there is a hearing. I’m happy to do a review on Avvo about my experience because I found Mrs. Oluyemi on this site. And, it was the favorable reviews that prompted me to contact her. Without her, my employer offered me a very small sum of money; and wanted to keep a wrongful termination on my record, but allow me to be reinstated the day I signed the settlement agreement. However, this would have been without any backpay, and no acknowledgement of their wrongdoings. Yet, with her legal expertise, I was awarded my job back with full benefits, backpay with interest for over a year without pay, all attorney fees paid, compensatory damages, and the judge did find my employer guilty of discriminatory actions, which resulted in a wrongful termination. To be able to witness Sheri so elegantly utilize case laws, past practices, evidence, etc. to cross examine my employers’ leadership team and their witnesses and observe her as she caught them in several lies on the stand to the point that you could hear some stutter and stumble over their statements while others provided contradicting statements to the previous witness that was on the stand was not only amazing, but almost surreal. Being in that hearing room, for me, was like being in a live remake of the Erin Brockovich or The Rainmaker movies or any scenario where the human defeats the giant in the end because I witnessed one person (Sheri Oluyemi) single-handedly defeated an entire legal team. They had, at one point, 4 or 5 people in the hearing room on their side boastfully conversing back and forth with each other throughout the 2-day trial to my ONE. But, with Mrs. Oluyemi as your attorney, I can attest that ONE attorney to believe in your case, believe in your truth, and truly believe that you did not deserve whatever wrongful act done to you by your employer is all that you need. Throughout this almost 2 yearlong drawn out ordeal, there were lots of ups and downs. But she was very patient; consistently active in her efforts; and encouraging to me, as a client, throughout the process. And honestly, whether I won the case or not wasn’t as important to me as being able to courageously stand up and speak out against my employer with my evidence and truth and have an attorney to believe in me based on that evidence and not be afraid to go against my employer even though the odds where against me to win. To me, being brave and exposing my employer for so many discriminatory and retaliatory acts against me while employed was more important than a win. Although, I’m eternally thankfully for the win, I’m equally more appreciative of Sheri’s commitment to my case and heroism of going against a billion-dollar funded industry and not selling her client out by taking side deals or forcing me to take settlements deals that were absurd and not in my best interest. She was very thorough, patient, attentive, and she made sure she did her research before given me her feedback about what she believed we should do next and why by stating the pros and the cons. I liked that she gave me options. Also, I was extremely impressed that as the attorney, she still made sure that she didn’t initiate communication with the other party at all without getting my feedback. And to me, as a client and not the professional, it made me feel like I was an active participant in my own case rather than a robot being forcefully instructed what to do and what to accept without any explanations. I irrefutably recommend Sheri Oluyemi as the perfect attorney to defend anyone who has employment or labor relation issues with their employer regardless of how small or large the company is or past history of employee’s not being successful at winning their cases.

Sheri was simply great! She worked to conclude my case expeditiously, advising me and keeping me abreast throughout the process. She was very thorough in her communication and preparation, which aided in our positive outcome. Sheri had an amazing sense of understanding and regard throughout our process. I would surely recommend her to anyone seeking services in areas of expertise.

I work with Troy Refuge on two issues. The first is still not complete and I have to continually ask him for updates instead of him taking the initiative to see it through to the end. The second issue he provided me with no value. He was supposed to review a lease and integrate terms from another document into the lease and provide me a draft redlined copy that I could provide to a commercial landlord. Instead, he provided me some notes on a new document. I assume they were good notes but my real estate agent would not touch them. He said it's a legal document, which is why I hired a LAWYER to make the changes. I tried to explain this to Troy and was willing to pay extra for him to do the job correctly. I called to offer feedback on the service i had been receiving and before I could do so, he started off by being defensive and said he does not need the money and does not have to work with me. This attorney possibly knows his field but in the end, I hire an attorney to make my life easier and to provide me with sensible advice and options, not to robotically do things that are not really valuable. Hopefully he can learn to take feedback in the future and improve his practice.

I had a garnishment dispute with my employer. My employer was to deduct my wages over a past student loan. When I called the attorney for the loan I realized that no monies was being sent. My employer said that all was being handled correctly. So I got in contact with Sheri and she did amazing work getting to the bottom of the issue. With a few call and cutting some red tape she discovered that the payroll department was sending the payment to the wrong people. Sheri is a very competent and knowledgeable attorney, who explained her steps to me all the way. When I showed frustration and weariness, she stayed steadfast in resolving this matter. Without a doubt I feel that this matter would never reached this point without her. I hope I will never go thru any situation like this again but if I do I know who to contact. Thank you Sheri

Sheri completed all the paper work necessary to put my start-up in business. She also prepared contracts between my company and independent contractors. Awesome experience working with Sheri.
