Blaine Balow and his paralegal Jennifer Vukelich-Seltz at HKM Employment Attorneys LLP are top notch professionals. Blaine did an exceptional job representing me and I couldn't have asked for a better person to do so. Blaine is personable, communicates in an incredibly timely manner, and is remarkably knowledgeable in his work. He knows and understands the bigger picture, the steps and details that are essential, and is humbly empathetic and caring in the process. It is with my highest regard I would recommend Blaine Balow to anyone seeking legal counsel in his specialty area.

When my former employer tried to enforce a 35 year old non-compete, I did a Google search for top rated employment lawyers, and reached out to HKM. Amanda Crain was my attorney; she and her staff were absolutely amazing. Amanda is so thoughtful and strategic in her approach and was always available for consultation (along with her team, Meghan and Cameron). The communication couldn’t have been better. Her correspondence with opposing counsel was always professional, and tough when needed. The outcome was everything I expected, and more. On a 1-10 scale, I’d give Amanda and her team a 20.”

Emma, Amanda, Cameron, and everyone else behind the scenes at HKM were beyond amazing to work with! At every turn they were there to help me navigate through a very challenging time and the legal process. A family friend recommended that I reach out to HKM for Emma and Amanda when I was seeking representation because as he put it, they are last people he wanted to be up against! After going through the entire process, from intake to the closure of my case and everything in between, I see why they have the reputation they do! Should any of you reading this review ever find yourself in a situation where you need employment representation, I hope you’re as fortunate as me and get Emma, Amanda, and the rest of the HKM team on your side! If I could give them more than five stars I would!

Amanda and Cameron were incredible and really helped me along the entire process. They made every step incredibly easy to understand and they both provided me with great advice along the way. When it comes to these types of life events you want someone great in your corner and they are as good as it gets. I’d highly recommend working with them. 10/10 Hire them now.

I had an amazing experience working with Blaine. He was communicative, attentive to detail, and took time to thoroughly explain everything. I highly, highly recommend him.

I worked with HKM attorney Blaine Balow at his previous firm after experiencing a wrongful termination. Blaine and his whole team made me feel heard, seen, and supported as we worked through the process which took several months. They were clear about what they needed from me, professional in their approach, kept me informed and educated every step of the way, and did some killer research. Thanks to Blaine's patient, sharp, methodical approach, I have nothing but praise his work. I know that he will bring that same level of expertise to HKM. I will continue to recommended him to friends and colleagues. If you have an employment law issue, or even if you think you might, please contact him at HKM. You will not be disappointed.

I had been experiencing a toxic work environment for over seven months when I contacted Blaine. Prior to our initial consultation, I was continually distracted in both my professional and personal life. I wasn't the person my family, friends, partner, and even dogs knew and loved. I seldom made it to the gym, I rarely got a full night of sleep, and I couldn't focus long enough to enjoy simple pleasures like watching television or reading a book. I felt alone, and worse, like I deserved my superior's unfair, and what I came to learn, *illegal* treatment of me. Blaine was the first person to validate my experience and name what exactly it was I was going through. He walked me through my options, helped me organize my thoughts, and eventually was able to put me in a position where I could succeed because of my work environment, and not in spite of it. Most of all, he reminded me of who I am, what I want, and what I'm worth. Quite frankly, his expertise is priceless.

I would recommend Blaine Balow and his team to anyone who needs representation with an employment issue. I was terminated by an employer whom I had been employed with for several years. After having what I thought was a good working relationship with this employer, my sudden termination left me shocked and confused. I needed answers regarding the validity of my termination and was paired with Blaine Barlow when I reached out for legal advise. After the initial (no fee) consultation, Blaine felt my claims against the former employer had merit. I hired Blaine to represent me against my former employer and I have no regrets. On my behalf, Blaine and his team were able to negotiate a fair and equitable settlement through mediation. Throughout the process, Blaine was straight forward, honest and supportive while keeping me informed every step of the way. Everything a person should want from their attorney. I highly recommend Blaine Barlow and his team to anyone in need of legal consultation/representation.

If I could, I would give HKM Employment Attorneys 10 starts I definitely would. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I’m happy to have worked with Amanda and the HKM team on my case. Everything was done in a timely manner. All needs and expectations were beyond met while working with Amanda and the HKM team. Everyone was friendly that I came into contact with & genuinely care about the situation you may be dealing with. You are more than just heard but listened too. I completely recommend this company for any employment “issues”. HKM will get it resolved.

Before I met with Amanda Crain and Emma Denny, I felt overwhelmed and burdened with a heavy heart from carrying an injustice I felt I was experiencing from my employment issue. When I met with Amanda and Emma and they confirmed the legal aspect of my experience, I didn’t feel I was the lone underdog. Amanda and Emma, through their thorough investigation and legal knowledge, understood the complexity of my legitimate claim to navigate, represent, and empower me throughout the legal process to a successful resolution. I am incredibly thankful that I reached out to connect with Amanda and Emma to represent me!
