Vera was quick & prompt in responding to my request about employment question. Their team was upfront about hourly charges & willing to hear out the situation before signing retainer agreement

Vera did a wonderful job of asking the right questions to get to the heart of the issue and then clearly laid out all of the options. She is great at explaining the "legal" in clear terms, and has a keen sense of negotiating and strategy.

I had a fantastic experience working with Vera and her team. Their expertise in employment law is unmatched. They were responsive, kept me informed throughout the process, and patiently addressed all my concerns. They provided excellent advice and negotiated a favorable settlement on my behalf. I'm truly grateful for their expertise and would recommend them without hesitation.

I was in a sticky situation with a manager that my workplace that was not taking sufficient action on. This manager put my six figure salary and my six figures of unvested stock at significant risk, at a time where the manager knew I had my emotional bandwidth compromised with family issues at home. I needed help understanding how to navigate these waters, and to protect my family. Vera Fomina massively exceeded my expectations by listening to my story, reading through my materials, coaching me through my situation, and preparing me for if this went to litigation. Six months later, I am in a SIGNIFICANTLY better place, with a significantly better manager, and a restored sense of professional sanity. Where Vera's legal coaching has been gold is that most of my peers that have been in the same situation escaped with pay cuts, gaps in employment, or making other sacrifices that I was not forced to take. I am extremely grateful and HIGHLY recommend Vera Fomina as well as her associates at Skidmore & Fomina.

Vera is brilliant! She is knowledgeable, professional and honest. She truly cares about her clients and negotiates for their best interests. I was referred to Vera, after many attorneys I had contacted would not consider my case. I met with Vera and Greg and they were willing to take my extremely complicated, long term embedded contractor and wrongful termination case. They were also willing to take my case on a contingency fee basis and immediately started to take action. Vera has extensive knowledge of employment law. Vera and her team researched every possible option and took the time to explain them in detail. She will help you decide which option is best for you. Vera and her team quickly respond to calls and emails. She is not intimidated by giant corporations and their many attorneys. She always remains calm and focused. Vera is also a great negotiator. She was able to settle the case in Mediation before it went to court. The settlement included ending the lawsuit that was filed against my company related to my case. Vera and everyone on her team worked together to achieve a successful settlement, with the best possible outcome in our favor, after almost three years of negotiations with many corporate attorneys.

Vera did an incredible job for me. Not only is she knowledgeable, but she also understands the process, how the other side thinks, and what they most likely will happen next. She is very calm, and with a positive yet logical attitude. Last but definitely not least, she is great at negotiation, and definitely exceeded any expectations I had before starting the process.

Vera brought her A game in our wrongful termination suit resulting in a great outcome. She asked the right questions and saw the points of leverage at every interaction. She had persistence and patience throughout. I’m glad she was on our side.

Vera was very honest, professional, and confident. When it came to dealing with the other side, Vera was tough and relentless. She truly fights for her clients. I highly recommend her.

Vera is an attorney with extensive knowledge of employment law and remarkable ability to think outside the box. I appreciated Vera’s patience, resourcefulness and honesty and would recommend her to anyone who is dealing with an employment matter.

Vera is awesome, extremely easy going, knowledgeable and more importantly Honest and Fair. She'll take the time to explain everything and even refer you out to someone else if your needs are not in her area of expertise. I don't know too many attorney's that do that. I ended up using her to draft up an employment agreement. She was communicative, thorough and enjoyable to work with. I would definitely recommend her services.

I had a pleasure of working with Vera Fomina on a number of complex employment-related issues and appreciated her knowledge, experience, courtesy, and honesty. I would highly recommend Vera to anyone seeking legal representation in the employment area, as I have no doubt that she will keep your best interest and unique needs at the forefront.

Vera was extremely professional, prompt and understood what I was looking for. My entire experience was exceptional- easy and virtually stress-free. I could not have done this on my own and I am very grateful to Vera for her expertise . Highly recommended.
