The Spiggle Law Firm only adds "Insult to Injury." I would not recommend this firm to anyone. I had a lengthy waiting period for an intake call. I was told by the client engagement manager that I spoke with on this call that the Spiggle Law Firm only represents employees. Unfortunately, I was initially assigned by the the firm, Shari Youtz, to represent me in my case. I quickly learned that Ms. Youtz has never had any experience representing employees. She has never filed an EEOC claim on behalf of an employee. Rather she has supported the legal division of a large government contractor in its defense of EEOC cases filed by employees. After learning this, I requested my case to be transferred to another attorney. It was transferred to a contractor attorney - Joanne Dekker. Her fees are well above market rate at $600 an hour. When I finally got to speak with her, she was not apprised of the full facts of my case - despite me having already had a 45 minute recorded phone with the client engagement manager where I detailed my experience of harassment and retaliation. Furthermore, I had previously sent several emails to the firm's paralegal (who I later found out is also a contract worker for the firm and not an employee of the firm). The emails contained attached files which evidenced and fully described my experiences. I was charged for nearly 5 hours of the paralegal's time for her to basically print out these documents. In addition, to not being fully apprised of my case before speaking with me, Ms. Dekker was not empathetic and supportive on the call. Rather she was hostile and rude and it became clear that she did not see much money in the case for her to make as an attorney. She subsequently charged me for a demand letter that was never sent and that I neither requested nor consented to have written on my behalf. In the end, my case was not settled after I spent a considerable amount of time and money, wherein quite literally the only services the firm provided was to request from me information and supporting documents, print what I had sent them, and write a 1 paragraph letter of representation. Lesson learned - never hire a firm without FIRST speaking with the attorney that will represent you. Ms. Dekker is a cold-hearted contractor and Ms. Youtz has no experience representing employees.

Mr. Spiggle was quite responsive and helpful in its work on my behalf. I would certainly use Mr. Spiggle and the firm again should the need arise.

Two years ago I was in a very bad place at work. I found The Spiggle Law Firm quite by accident online and began working first with Shannon Beebe, then later with Joanne Dekker. Joanne was absolutely wonderful to work with. She was kind and patient and empowered me to work through a complicated and emotionally exhausting process. In the end, in large part due to Joanne’s diligence and hard work, I was able to get resolution. The Spiggle Law Firm made it possible for me to see the process through to a highly successful result. Thank you Joanne! I highly recommend The Spiggle Law Firm.

Tom Spiggle is clearly an expert in employment law and has assembled a fantastic team. Their webinars and free resources are excellent. Their paid services are worth well beyond the fees charged. I appreciate Tom’s calm demeanor, positive approach, and honesty. I also appreciate their positive impact on the community. I highly recommend the Spiggle Law Firm.

Team was very helpful , courteous and knowledgeable.

I was recently facing difficulties at work, and reached out to the Spiggle Firm for legal advice and support. Tom Spiggle was incredible at helping me navigate understanding my rights and the context of my employment situation from an impartial perspective so we could truly strategize around my next steps. Even just after our first consultation, I felt confident in my rights, prepared to stand up to any additional bullying I might experience, and aware of potential next steps if legal action was necessary. The intake process was also incredibly efficient and supportive. I had reached out to two other firms a few months back, and felt rushed and like the process was a little haphazard. One even wanted to charge me $500 before they would even look at my intake form to decide if I had an action or valid legal concern worth talking to an attorney about. The technological systems the Spiggle Firm has in place to coordinate intake calls, as well as the interim resources and support provided, make you feel instantly valued and that you matter to the firm. When reaching about employment situations - a place most of us spend the majority of our daily lives - it can be incredibly overwhelming. I am so grateful the Spiggle Firm helped me find a soft landing space in what otherwise felt a bit like a freefall. Thank you so much for your command of the law, strategic mind and insight, and confidence in providing support and analysis. I am sincerely grateful and would absolutely retain this firm in the future.

The Spiggle Law Firm treated me with the best attorney client service they could offer. My Lawyer, Shannon Beebe made me feel completely at ease through out the entire process. I knew my case was important but having a law firm that stands firmly behind you, is the best feeling a plaintiff could have. I’m happy with the results we were able to achieve for my case. I would recommend this firm to anyone who has employment issues such as work place discrimination, pregnancy discrimination, etc. They fought for my case and I am happy I chose them.

They're fabulous! If you're pregnant and have been discriminated against, contact them!

I've used Tom's services before for employment law questions. His team responds quickly and provides great information. Been very pleased with all interactions. Happily recommend him to others.

I had the pleasure of working with Shannon Beebe for seven months at the end of a long and complex employment case. Shannon was always able to navigate the layers of the case's complexity, even when they seemed endless, and she invariably got to the bottom of the issues at hand. She was thorough and exceptionally diligent in her work, leaving no stone unturned in her review of the case and no point omitted in her presentation of it. When it came time to discuss settlement, Shannon showed a knack for effective negotiation, knowing how to bring in numbers that all parties could live with. She knew when to be flexible and when to draw a line. She will give you sound advice on litigation, recommending against it if it does not help you, but having no fear of going to trial if necessary to defend your interests. Shannon is above all a lawyer who cares about her clients, takes the time to explain difficult issues clearly, and, perhaps most importantly, listens carefully to her clients' concerns. She never acted unilaterally but always kept me informed and made sure all options were open until I could make a choice. Shannon is one of the most courteous, friendly, and gracious people I have worked with in any setting. She is also among the very brightest human beings I have been lucky enough to work with in any setting. Above all, Shannon is someone you can trust. She always put my concerns front and center and defended them tirelessly. I never once worried that she was pushing a line of inquiry or negotiation that was not in my best interests. Bottom line, Shannon is a smart, tough, effective, trustworthy fighter who knows how to win. I would highly recommend Shannon Beebe to anyone needing help or advice in the area of employment law.

I received excellent support from the Spiggle Law Firm during a difficult time. The lawyers are clearly experts in their field. They provide the information you need to make important decisions and do it in a very supportive manner. I highly recommend them. .
