Run away from this attorney. I had a long conversation with her. And I am happy she never represented me.
Firstly, she is low-qualified. The best advice she gave me was about her hourly rate (and she repeatedly reminded that request for money). Other advises were not valuable. So I am happy such a low qualified person never represented me.
Secondly, she violated multiple norms of ethics by yelling on her clients. I am afraid of what will she do in the Court and how can she control herself.
Run away from her. Never pay to her - it is not worthy.
Read also reviews of other users at Google maps - something is definitely wrong with this attorney.

I hired Rebecca to represent me when my employer tried to have me terminated due to my disability. Rebecca was professional and here legal advice was spot on. My former employer saw I was not going to be discriminated against with Rebecca. I would use Rebecca for any employment matter.

Rebecca knows her stuff and is extremely smart, compassionate and straightforward. I would highly recommend her if you are experiencing wrongful termination related issues. She really helped me as I was lost. I cannot express how happy I am.
Thank you, Rebecca!

I hired Greg Owens for my Workerman Comp Case; although he was personable; he didn’t do right by me. The Attorney for the Insurance Company talked him into taking out taxes from my Settlement amount; and it wasn’t until after the fact that I learned that Settlements are Tax-
Free. So basically; due to Greg Owen’s lack of knowledge; I lost money I should’ve had in my pocket. When I called him to get a response; he told his assistant to tell me to go and hire a CPA? Thanks Greg!
I wouldn’t recommend Greg for anytime of Workerman’s Comp or Unemployment case.

I retained Mr. Owens recently and we are only in the beginning stages of my case. In the few weeks we've been working together he has gone above and beyond to respond to my emails and reach out to me with updates. Being in the legal profession myself, you often do not find an extremely responsive attorney that takes their "off the clock" time to respond and reach out. I'm extremely impressed with his responsiveness and compassion. I definitely felt extremely comfortable moving forward with Mr. Owens and I know he'll work hard to advocate for me as he has already done so.
I definitely recommend Mr. Owens as you would not be dissatisfied. Nothing is a guarantee; however knowing your attorney is hard at work for you that in itself is a win.

Greg Owens was superb in handling my Wrongful Termination Case. I had contacted other Attorneys, but by far he was the most Professional, Diligent, and Respectable. I can say without a Doubt; if it wasn't for Greg Owens and his Law Partner; Miguel Bouza, I would still be trying to finish my case. I highly recommend Greg Owens; I would use him again without any hesitation. Thank you.

She is an absolute abomination as an attorney and needs to step down or be recalled as the DA before we all go down. She was elected via rank choice voting. It doesn’t get worse than this woman.

I went to Ms. Weiss at a low point in my life as well. I’ll be the first to admit, my case was messy due to a lapse of judgement on my part, but the fact clearly demonstrated that I was inappropriately terminated from my job for pure retaliatory reasons. Ms. Weiss appeared gung-ho to take my case at first, but her tone changed abruptly. I believe she thought poorly of the choices I made in my personal life, and it affected how she represented me. She did get me a settlement, took a third of it, and would not assist me when the final portion of the settlement was paid out incorrectly. I would not recommend her again.

Do not go near this woman! She is a disaster! Dropped me like a hot box of rocks when she got pregnant. Lied about progress. Failed to communicate. Ignored me for three months. Showed up with a text today saying how sorry she is to decide to close her practice. She already missed a statute of limitations. Said she “has walked this journey with me”. How absurd. She is unstable if she thinks this!

My employer "eliminated my position" when I took a FMLA approved leave in October 2017. I interviewed several attorneys and selected KC to handle my case.
KC was extremely knowledgeable and within minutes of our initial meeting ending, she had already sent documents to the company to inform them of our intent to file a lawsuit. Within a few weeks, she was working with them to get me an acceptable severance.
KC was able to get me almost 9 times what my past employer had told me was all they would agree to giving me. The negotiations were complete in less than 60 days.
KC was not only knowledgeable and confident but her communication with me was outstanding. This all occured during the holidays and she kept me informed through everything.
I highly recommend KC and am beyond pleased with the outcome.

I hired Howard after a one on one consult to represent me in a age discrimination/unlawful firing complaint against an employer. Howard was always happy to answer any questions/concerns I had at any given time and always returned my emails or calls in an expedient manner. I was extremely happy with the outcome and highly recommend that you hire Howard Bolter as your attorney. (Plus he looks very dashing in his bow ties!!!).

I was privileged to be able to work with Howard Bolter who handled an employment case for me recently. I found Mr. Bolter to be a very capable and knowledgeable attorney who pursued my case as though it were his only case.
Not only did I find Mr. Bolter to be an excellent attorney, but he was also thorough, professional, concerned, and caring. He always maintained regular contact regarding my case, he was quick to proceed with the next steps while keeping me advised during every step of the negotiation process, and he worked tirelessly to serve his client in the best manner I could have expected. On a personal note, I also found Mr. Bolter to be a true gentleman in all of his endeavors.
I would highly recommend that should anyone have the need for an attorney with Mr. Bolter’s expertise that they call him immediately. Should I ever have a need for counsel in this area in the future, Mr. Bolter will be my first and only call.

Mr. Bolter was incredibly helpful to me when seeking his counsel. He contacted me via phone first to get an overview of the situation. After doing so, I hired him to look further into my case. He was diligent about his research and was able to provide me sound advice on how to advance. I took his direction each time and am very happy with the outcome. I would absolutely recommend Mr. Bolter for anyone seeking counsel regarding employment law. He took great care in my situation and was able to help me quickly and successfully put my case to rest.

I was mislead by a roofer. I relied on his expertise and experience to repair the leaks in my roof. Months later, after full payment and a "brand new roof," there was a significant amount of rain water that came through my : living room, dining room, bedroom, kitchen, and patio. I felt anger, shock, disappointment, and overall extremely stressed, This quickly became a battle that required me to seek professional help. Michael went above and beyond, working tirelessly to resolve this misfortunate situation. THANK YOU MICHAEL for settling this matter in my favor. You are highly recommended!!

I used him in the Mid 1990's. I was arrested in a drug sweep "wrong place at the wrong time" and he beat the charges before they even went before the magistrate therefore I did not have to waste time or money getting a bogus arrest expunged. I've used him for a Civil Rights Lawsuit as well. He's a good lawyer to have if you can get him.

My experience with Michael Lorence could not be further from what the last reviewer describes. I am truly baffled. I would hire him in a heart beat, however, he encouraged me to explore lawyers who would not have to travel as far to the court - thereby costing more money - where my teenage son will need to appear for a citation. He could have used a hard sell and, honestly, I was so scared and worried I would have done whatever he suggested. Mr. Lorence was kind, compassionate, and went above and beyond to provide legal guidance and support. I live in Maryland and needed help understanding and navigating the law in PA. In my opinion, Mr. Lorence is a "mensch-" Yiddish for "a good, kind and compassionate man." I have many friends who have children at the University of Pittsburgh. I will not hesitate to recommend Mr. Lorence to them and their families.

I was unfairly terminated from my previous employer due to a disability and Mr. Kirby did a phenomenal job from beginning to end. He took my case despite my previous employer's clout in the community and was open with me about how their reputation may affect the process and the outcome.
Mr. Kirby was thorough, diligent, and I greatly appreciated his patience with me as I was still reeling from my termination. It was obvious from the beginning that he cared not just about winning, but he was also angry on my behalf for how I was treated. He explained the legal process in a way I could understand so that I could make informed decisions. As Mr. Kirby explained, he was my lawyer, so he wanted me to direct the decision-making.
Mr. Kirby seemed to have great relationships within the local legal community. He was also always on top of deadlines and often wanted to get paperwork filed well before the deadline.
Finally, I don't know if I would have made it through that time of my life in one piece if it hadn't been for his encouragement and his excellence and genuine care in dealing with my case. Even if we hadn't had a positive outcome, I feel very grateful for Mr. Kirby and would recommend him to anyone.

I hired Mr. Kirby to represent me in an employment discrimination case in November, 2016. I was fired by my employer after requesting reasonable accommodations to help me work with a chronic illness which affects my right hand and foot and causes neuropathic pain. I will address three strengths which benefited me in working with Pat. 1) He educated me about the law in terms and language I, as a non-attorney, can understand; 2) He was thorough in his review of documents pertinent to my case, and 3) he was tactful in speaking with me about the things that were said and written about me, as well as toward the defendants in his depositions of them. I learned much about tact and diplomacy from watching Pat.

From the first meeting with Attorney Pat Kirby, my wife and I felt we'd made a connection with a professional that we'd like to have in our corner. He made us feel that he had an understanding of what I had gone through and, although empathetic, questioned & somewhat challenged my situation & position in a manner that made me feel he was taking me & my case seriously. After agreeing to take my case, he was off and running on my behalf, and kept in touch with us every step of the way. If I had a question or needed to contact him for any reason, I was always able to talk to him personally either the same day or certainly within 24 hours of my call. He and his legal assistant, Danielle, were great to work with and were both professional as well as compassionate.
My wife and I were very pleased with the outcome of the case, resolved in less than a year, and would highly recommend Attorney Patrick Kirby.

Samuel Kanupp represented me in a difficult Whistleblower, FMLA retaliation case, unlawful termination. He is passionate about his work and advocating for those who are unlawfully wronged by current or previous employers. I could not have asked for better representation, Mr. Kanupp quickly understood my situation and the facts of my case. He is extraordinarily well versed in Employment Law, and is passionate about helping people who have suffered unlawful retaliation in his or her employment. Mr. Kanupp is a tireless and compassionate advocate for his client. He submitted all court documents timely and thoroughly, he kept me updated on the process, prepped me for depositions, mediation and counseled me in all aspects of my case. I am most impressed by his ability to direct examine witnesses in deposition. He came well prepared and did a great job. I felt vindicated by the proceedings. It was a healing experience for me to sit-in on the depositions of my former employer with Mr. Kanupp

As a senior paralegal, I have worked with many, many lawyers over the past 30 years. Mr. Thomas is one of the greater advocates I have ever had the pleasure of working with. I am very grateful to have had him in my corner for this critical legal action. He was very knowledgeable of the legal issues of my case and ferreted out the relevant facts to address and apply towards those issues. I could not have asked for a better advocate working on my behalf. When it came to my hearing, he went in with a "let's get to work" attitude. He was easy to work with and kept me informed at every decision point. I cannot thank Mr. Thomas enough for the time and attention in placed toward my case. I would highly recommend Mr. Thomas and his team for any action requiring a labor law attorney.

Attorney Thomas has a great reputation for being a strong arm protector of employee civil rights. Especially with all the obstacles he faces with Florida laws in favor of the employer. He has his work cut out for him because of the horrific laws. However, he is a great attorney and will work very hard to protect his clients no matter what obstacles in his way. Thank you Attorney Archibald (and his Paralrgal Daniella) for taking on my case and protecting my civil rights!

I highly recommend Judith. She knows the law! And is savvy and seasoned. Vast experience and knowledge. Her team is outstanding! Judith cared about me throughout this trial as she saw the toll it was taking on me, but I come out the other side shining! I highly recommend Judith to have in your corner!

Dorian was an excellent choice for us after my termination. She took the time to listen to what I had to say and what was most important to us. Once we had agreed that she would be representing me, I had no worries about a swift and just resolution to the case. Dorian kept us informed at every step and also gave us a realistic view as to which way the case could go. She is a hard worker, thorough, and professional. Dorian is who you need representing and advocating for you.

I can't begin to tell you how pleased I am to have Linda Albers representing me. She truly is the best attorney that you'll ever meet.
I approached Ms. Albers about my case, after a previous attorney that I retained decided that my case was "too difficult" to win, and therefore no longer wanted to represent me. Upon my first conversation with Ms. Albers, I knew that I was in the perfect hands. Not only was Ms. Albers not afraid to approach my case, but she identified aspects of my case that hadn't been explored by my previous attorney.
In the two years that I have worked with Ms. Albers, she has made herself available to speak to me each and every time that I have reached out to her. Additionally, she is as brilliant as she is warm and compassionate. Her understanding and comprehension of the law is masterful.
Ms. Albers is as passionate about my case as I am, as she crusades for my justice. She is truly phenomenal!
While there are thousands of attorneys to chose from, Ms. Albers is the finest attorney that you'll have the privilege of working with.

After figuring out who many of his other clients of his who he scammed, a large group of us have decided to write to the bar about him. He will threaten you about taking your house, garnishing your wages and many other tactics to milk you for money you don’t own. After having an experience with him, having to fire him and then hiring another atty who was fair and professional, I knew the difference between an honest atty and one who only cares about money. Err on the side of caution and stay away. One of his prior staff members says the same thing. Someone needs to shut him down.

19 Nov, 2021 by My life ruined by
What a terrible disappointment. I never wanted to go through a law suit in my life, but since I was hit by a car family and friends urged to do so. I don’t recommend suing.
I did everything I was supposed to do, went to doctors appointments, physical therapy, etc. I didn’t do this because of the law suit, I did it because I was in pain. This case has been going on since 2018 and my trial was November 2021.
I met my lawyer for the first time a week before my trial. The FIRST. I was supposed to “meet him” in 2018 when signing legal documents but instead I met his secretary and was told he was too busy. The second time at the office (when I did my deposition) I met one of his colleagues who was purchasing Christmas presents for his children next to me and not listening to a word I’m saying.
He did not go over my case with me until WEEKS before a trial. And when I say go over l, I mean a half hour lunch that he was two hours late for.
I never felt confident with him, I never even met him! He absolutely didn’t go over all the paperwork ,which resulted in me looking like a liar to the jury, because he didn’t even know everything he needed to about me. The defense used the same documents against me. I strongly believe if he would have read the documents and did his JOB. Today would have been a different story.
It’s not my job to go through all the paper work and documents, that’s what you hire a lawyer for. Now I wish I had, and never hired him.
Find somebody else who actually cares about his cases instead of taking on a bunch and hoping he wins one for a fat pay check.

Even if she initially agreed to take on our case when others wouldn't, the entire process felt slow and lacked the urgency we expected. Her communication, while present, often left us feeling more anxious than reassured, and we found ourselves constantly having to follow up for updates. We felt like she wasn’t as proactive as she could have been, and the settlement took longer than we anticipated. While the case was eventually resolved, the experience fell short of our expectations, and we wouldn’t recommend her services.

I was going through a very difficult extended divorce. My first lawyer and I did not see eye-to-eye, I found Lu through a Google search and I am so thankful! Lu took over and fixed everything. My divorce involved a difficult custody battle, military assets, property, retirement accounts, and more. Lu was knowledgeable, sweet, personable, and always showed up ready to battle despite the numerous continuations of the other party. Lu showed an amazing presence with the other attorneys and judges. She always had a light and calmness to her when the situation was so heavy and dark. I am very happy with the outcome of my case. While I hope to never need another divorce, Lu will be my first call for ANY future legal concerns.

What a Sexual Harassment Lawyer Can Do for You
A sexual harassment lawyer specializes in representing individuals who have experienced unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, or other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature that affects their employment or creates a hostile work environment. These lawyers help victims understand their rights under federal and state laws, such as Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, and guide them through the process of filing complaints, negotiating settlements, or pursuing litigation. They also assist employers in implementing anti-harassment policies, conducting investigations, and defending against claims.
Whether you're an employee facing harassment or an employer seeking to address or prevent harassment claims, a sexual harassment lawyer can provide the legal expertise needed to navigate these sensitive issues.
