From the very beginning Matthew Clark made me comfortable with the unfortunate situation I was in and I knew I was in good hands. I have never been through a legal situation before and didn't know what to expect but Matt explained everything to me every step of the way. He was so kind and honest and respectful during a difficult time. He put in a lot of work into my case and paid attention to every detail and often times he would email me back after hours or take phone calls late and that shows that he cared about my peace of mind. The whole team was professional and thorough as well. I would recommend this law firm to everyone because we would not have had the outcome we did if it weren't for them. If you want to be represented by someone that treats you as good as a family member would, then Matthew Clark is who you should hire.

I had the pleasure of working with Attorney Matthew Clark, and I cannot recommend him highly enough. From our very first consultation, it was clear that he possessed an exceptional level of expertise and dedication to his clients. Matthew’s professionalism and thorough understanding of the law were evident as he navigated my case with precision and care. He took the time to explain every step of the process, ensuring I felt informed and confident throughout. His ability to break down complex legal jargon into understandable terms was immensely helpful. What truly sets Matt apart is his unwavering commitment to achieving the best possible outcome. He approached my case with a strategic mindset, demonstrating a keen eye for detail and a proactive approach. His responsiveness and availability were also commendable; I never felt like just another client but rather a priority. In addition to his legal acumen, Matthew’s compassion and genuine concern for my well-being were palpable. He consistently provided not just legal support, but also reassurance and empathy during a stressful time. Thanks to Matt, I felt supported and confident throughout the legal process, and I am extremely pleased with the outcome he achieved for me. If you are in need of a highly skilled, dedicated, and compassionate attorney, look no further than Matthew Clark. He is truly a standout professional in his field.

I was a pizza driver for years and saw on Facebook that this firm got people money for unpaid wages. I was skeptical at first because well, it was Facebook but after all the time and money I put in to my car I thought I'd give it a chance. Drivers don't even get paid minimum wage and a lot of people don't tip because they think the driver gets the delivery fee. That goes back to the company 100%! I was thrilled when this company was able to help me get a huge portion of that money back with no hassle! This is a great firm and I would recommend them to any other person who has been a delivery Driver and been cheated out of their pay for years!!

Omar A. Lopez is a fantastic attorney. He always gives the best advice. I suffered for two years in a hostile work environment and was able to keep my job and stop my harasser when management was hoping to fire me because I complained about unfair and unethical workplace practices . This gave me a chance to find another job and keep my good employee records. I was never as upset as I was dealing with that horrible workplace and Mr. Lopez was there when I needed him for morale support. I could have taken the easy way out and quit or let them continue to harass me but I am glad I had Mr. Lopez’ help. I 100% recommend him. He truly is in it for justice and for the best interest of his clients, which is a rarity for lawyers it seems.

The entire experience from start to finish was seamless and stress free (which I've been told is rare!). I would highly recommend the W&H team.

Michael was always friendly, attentive and patient and had my best interests in mind when handling my contracts and all the bumps along the way. Very happy with their professionalism and guidance.

I am so grateful I was referred to Steven Sherman through a local small business resource. He is an outstanding lawyer who expertly guided me (and was my lifeline) through contract negotiations for an acquisition. His thoroughness, attention to detail, and deep knowledge of the law gave me complete confidence throughout the process. What really stood out to me was how much he genuinely cared about my business and its success and how he took the time to make sure I understood and was comfortable with every step. I wouldn't have gotten the deal done without Steve. Highly recommend!

I knew of Mr. Sherman's excellent reputation in helping businesses in financially significant legal matters, so took a chance to ask his assistance with a personal situation which, though with fewer dollars at stake, was also important to me in terms of good neighborhood relations. I was impressed with how quickly he responded, how well he listened to me and immediately grasped both the legal and interpersonal issues, and though obviously busy with more "major" cases quickly took action on my behalf in a most assertive yet professional manner. In this instance presenting his thorough analysis of relevant case law dissuaded the other party from their intent to engage in costly litigation, and won for me a better resolution than I could have imagined in terms of my financial goals and, due to his style of engagement, unexpected respect and good will from the opposing party. He's sharp as a tack, dogged in pursuit of his client's interests, and a warm and compassionate human being.

In my early years I heard many disturbing stories of how people lost a major part of their inheritance to City, State and Federal tax, after their parents died without having lawful protection from the tax system, and the thought of seeking a protection crossed my mind many times. But I kept postponed it to next week, next month, or next year, and year after year until I became much older and one morning I woke up with a terrible thought of how foolish it would have been If anything happened to me and left my family without protection losing half of what really belongs to them. I spoke to a few attorneys but no one could make clear to me this complicated tax process and the fine print, until I contacted the Vishnick-McGovern-Milizio law firm and spoke with Constantina Papageorgiou who is an elder law attorney. Talking with Constantina was all clear and simple to me. She explained everything with professionalism and care. I did not hesitate. Now I have a peace of mind knowing my hard earnings, my home and everything else are protected, and my family will get to keep everything that belongs to them. Dino Pavlou.

None have been able to answer my questions. Oleg was able to answer questions. He turned a 3 month project, into a 40 min conversation. I recommend contacting Le Clerc law for any questions you have about your rights. You can reach out to them on their website. Submit a form. They will respond to you.

There were so many ups and downs along the way, and at times, I felt like giving up. But Gene and Ryan were there every step of the way, offering the expertise, confidence, and support I needed to keep going. I’m so grateful for attorney Jenna’s referral because choosing Sullivan & Sullivan was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. These two attorneys are exceptional at what they do!

She is an absolute bulldog who will fight tooth and nail for her clients. Not only did she tirelessly dedicate herself to my case, she also cared for me on a personal level while still maintaining the utmost professionalism. She was patient with me, made sure I was always well-informed & prepared, and refused to back down from anyone. I almost felt sorry for the opposing council that went up against Traci in my case; she is such a sharp, aggressive attorney who consistently demonstrated her thorough knowledge of the law. She not only won my case bigtime, she also helped me get my confidence & power back in a what felt like a hopeless situation. I will forever be indebted to Traci and will surely recommend her to anyone who may find themselves in need of representation.

Dan Rose has represented me, my family, and several of our friends over the past 25 years. He is our go to guy and a comfort to us, knowing he will always have our backs. He has never failed us. He wins. He is a highly skillful and accomplished professional with an impeccable record of successes in the cases he has taken on. He is efficient and thorough and effective. One may say this about other attorneys, but Dan has something special. He has a fire in his belly. Once Dan is your advocate, he is intrepid and tenacious in pursuit of justice for you. That’s what you want in an advocate. For me personally, what makes him extra special is his sensitivity, compassion, patience and understanding of what people are going through in the legal process and how intrusive it can be. Dan really gets this.He keeps his clients informed every step of the way. When you hire Dan, you not only hire an attorney, but also, you hire a partner who will be in lockstep with you throughout the legal process. I give Dan the highest rating possible. Hands down. He’s the greatest!

Adam has helped me twice, once to set up a trust, and recently to guide me as executor after the death of mother. In both needs, he was so knowledgable, efficient, and personal. I felt that his focus was 100% on my needs, and they were handled better than I expected. There was one issue where he wanted to reach out to a subject matter expert, and it was reassuring that he has a web of expert contacts to call on. For all this, the costs for both was more than reasonable.

When you’ve been wrongfully terminated, there’s only one option, Michael Elliot. When you need support, and commitment Michael Elliott provides that. In a time when you’ve been wronged Michael Elliott cares, not only from a financial perspective, but from an integrity perspective as well. It’s not always about money. Sometimes you want your name cleared, to be heard, and to be given the respect back that you deserve, and he cares about all that equally. Michael Elliott values your time, with little interruption to your new employer, and family time. Within the first few minutes of our first phone conversation, I knew my previous employers team didn’t stand a chance. I was right! He understands you as a client, and gets results in a timely manner, and he expedites the process to the best of his ability. In an uncertain time, you never would have thought you would be in, you want the best! Michael Elliott fills that void undoubtably. In the end it’s all about what’s right, and that’s what was important to me, my family, Michael Elliot, and his team. I am forever grateful for his hard work, dedication, and commitment in making me feel like I was his top priority. With professional representation, and unparalleled trust to get the results you want, and expect Michael Elliot provides all of that.

Michelle not only helped me resolve an issue with my previous employer but also provided emotional support throughout the process as this was the first time in my life I was in need of legal representation. I highly recommend her to anyone in need of legal help especially with regard to discrimination cases. She also got back to me fairly quickly upon my initial correspondence with her (unlike some other lawyers I reached out to) and was willing to fully hear me out and assist me to the best of her ability. Additionally she kept me in the loop in a timely manner throughout the process. She is the best and well worth the price you pay for her expertise!

I talked with several employment attorneys before hiring Michelle to assist with my severance dispute. I ended up going with her because of a very good referral from a close friend who used her for a non-compete matter he had as an EVP. Michelle was well-versed in all aspects of executive severance and got me everything I wanted. It took awhile, but that was not her fault--there were several delays on my employer's part. Despite this, Michelle kept them on track and kept me updated. Her fees were reasonable, which I really appreciated. Could not be happier.

When I got my pregnent, my boss thought it would be OK to just fire me. Fortunately, I found Michelle and she took my case on contingency. She explained that what my employer did was totally illegal, and she was really mad. I can't discuss the numbers, but I am happy with what Michelle got for me. Also, she cared about me and my pregnency.

I cannot recommend Allenby Law enough for their outstanding work on my estate planning. Attorney Dawn Allenby and her assistant Naomi Arana demonstrated exceptional professionalism, knowledge, and attention to detail throughout the entire process. They guided me through creating my revocable living trust, Will, health directive, and power of attorney with patience and clarity, ensuring every aspect was addressed thoroughly. They took special care to include all my properties, such as my townhouse in San Diego and my home in Oklahoma, in my estate planning portfolio. Their meticulous efforts have given me a comprehensive and well-organized plan, providing the peace of mind I need. I now feel confident that when the time comes, my family will know exactly what steps to take without facing any unnecessary financial burdens. Dawn and Naomi’s dedication, expertise, and commitment to their clients’ needs truly set them apart. If you’re seeking top-notch legal assistance for your estate planning, look no further than Allenby Law. I am so grateful for their excellent service!

I was going through a tough time in my life when everything looked like a lost cause. Then, my family found Defense Attorney: Chris Black. At our first meeting, Mr. Black gave me hope. With him on our side, we felt assured that our case would be handled swiftly and smoothly. He kept us updated and was always available to answer our calls and emails promptly. Mr. Black went above and beyond—efficient, courteous, and professional. I highly recommend Chris Black’s legal services to anyone in need. As a unique case, I have truly never met a lawyer like Mr. Black. He keeps it real and is a genuine advocate for his clients. Thank you, Chris, for your solid support and for being such a positive force during that difficult time.

My 1st instinct was to give 1 star, but I settled on 2. That extra star is for the fact that when Cynthia was representing my daughter in a wrongful termination, she was very good. Unfortunately, she dropped us under false pretenses and had left us hanging out to dry. Paid $500 a year ago. Our contract said the $500 would cover the initial EEOC filing, representation at all interviews and possible mediation. In return, if we ended up settling, she would get 50%. After all the papers were initially filed, our EEOC case became a waiting game. With nothing going on in our case, In April, we got an email from Cynthia stating for medical reasons, she can no longer represent us. She did nothing to let EEOC know. As far as we knew, the case could take months before it moved forward, so we just continued to wait. Jump to late November, we were contacted by EEOC to schedule our first interview for 12/5/24. I thought maybe whatever medical issues Cynthia had 7 months ago had been resolved, so I emailed her. No response after a week, so I called her office explaining the whole situation and seeing if Cynthia or anyone could represent us during the interview. Last Wednesday I was promised a call back - never got it. Yesterday (Monday) I received email from Cynthia that she was "still preparing for surgery". I called again after getting the email and was promised a call back - again no call back. Called again today and I'm now waiting on a callback (for the 3rd time). While I'm waiting, I came here to Google Reviews and I see all these reviews dating back to 6 months ago all the way up until 7 days ago. So, this confirms my suspicions that she is no longer taking a medical leave (if she ever was). If no one from her firm is going to attend the interview on Thursday, I would like the truth as to why she dropped us. Cynthia said she was so confident in our case that she was waiving the initial retainer (I think $10k) if we end up going to court. So, did she drop us because it was a bad case or because it was a good case and she wanted to backout of the promise to waive the retainer. I also don't know if she still expects 50% of any possible settlement. This is so frustrating.

Craig Byrnes is incredible. I found Craig after I sought legal representation after my employer presented me with a difficult situation. He was so responsive, knowledgeable, and clear in his approach to protect my interests. Craig is adept at filtering out ethical or emotional issues from legal issues, and does not waste time on futile matters. He is extremely efficient and does not sugarcoat anything. He is great at client management too, keeping me focused on the task at hand and talking sense into me when needed. Craig was able to reach an amicable resolution with my employer to end the situation gracefully and rationally. I don't know if anyone has referred to their attorney as a knight in shining armor, but he is definitely that. I highly recommend him to anyone - you want him on your side.

I cannot explain the great help Craig was to me in my case. He picked up the dirty work another attorney left behind, In no time he had answers for me, that he explained in great detail until I was on board with understanding the big picture. He is extraordinary and professional. Craig kept me in the loop every step of the way, and unlike other attorneys, he never mentioned time spent on the phone nor email exchanges, he doesn't make it about money. He truly cares about his clients and makes time for them. I am beyond happy with the settlement he obtained, and would highly recommend Craig to anyone looking for an honest, professional, experienced and empathetic attorney. If ever there is need of representation again, I would not think twice to call on Craig, the relationship we built and advised he gave me has helped me lifelong.

Mr. Byrnes served me twice. I first met him when searching for an employment lawyer because I wanted a contract if I was to leave my job to go help prospective employer with their business. I was leaving a highly paid job and wanted both sides to be clear as to what we agreed to. Once the contract was signed and I resigned my other job, my employer refused to pay me what was agreed to in the contract. Mr. Byrnes provided excellent advice throughout the whole mess, was strategic in his approach, and was far more knowledgeable that some of the lawyers the employer hired (employer went through about 3 lawyers before finally settling). Mr. Byrnes got me a big settlement. I cannot say enough positive things about Mr. Byrnes. His professionalism is outstanding. He prepared for the case so thoroughly that no matter what opposing lawyers might throw at us, he always responded with facts and law, so they stopped arguing with him. I wouldn't want to have to be on the other side in a case he was involved with. He always told me the truth, explained the law and how judges were ruling on various points, and he listened to my concerns with great sensitivity. Anyone who has an employment law issue can do no better than turning to Craig Byrnes. Ultimately, he stood strong for me and obtained a big settlement for me.

At the time I didn't not know that I had any rights or that I could get help to get medical attention I needed. Without any help or any direction in my situation I felt so lost and depressed. But all of this changed when I met Mr. Fowler, he explained to me my rights, he got me the help I needed to get back on my feet and with time I was able to go back to work.

What a Wrongful Termination Lawyer Can Do for You

A wrongful termination lawyer specializes in representing employees who have been illegally fired or laid off from their jobs. Wrongful termination occurs when an employer violates federal or state laws, employment agreements, or public policy when dismissing an employee. These lawyers help clients understand their rights, evaluate the legality of their termination, and pursue legal action to recover damages such as lost wages, benefits, and emotional distress.

If you believe you have been wrongfully terminated, a lawyer can guide you through the complex legal process, negotiate with your former employer, and advocate on your behalf to achieve a fair resolution.

When Should I Hire a Wrongful Termination Lawyer?

You should consider hiring a wrongful termination lawyer if you have been fired under circumstances that may violate the law. Common reasons include:

  • Discrimination: If you were terminated based on your race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age (40 or older), disability, or genetic information, this may constitute illegal discrimination under federal laws like Title VII of the Civil Rights Act or the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).
  • Retaliation: If you were fired for reporting illegal activities, discrimination, harassment, or for participating in an investigation or lawsuit against your employer, this may be illegal retaliation.
  • Violation of Employment Contract: If you have an employment contract that outlines specific terms for termination and your employer breaches these terms, you may have a claim for wrongful termination.
  • Public Policy Violations: If you were terminated for reasons that violate public policy, such as refusing to engage in illegal activities, taking time off for jury duty, or exercising your legal rights (e.g., taking family medical leave), a lawyer can help.
  • Whistleblower Protection: If you were fired after reporting your employer's illegal activities to a government agency (whistleblowing), you may be protected under specific laws.

Hiring a lawyer promptly is crucial, as there are strict deadlines (statutes of limitations) for filing wrongful termination claims.

What Does a Wrongful Termination Lawyer Do?

A wrongful termination lawyer provides various services to help you pursue a claim against your former employer:

  • Case Evaluation: Assess the facts of your termination to determine if your employer violated any laws or breached your employment contract.
  • Legal Advice: Explain your rights under federal and state laws and advise on the best course of action.
  • Filing Claims: Assist in filing a complaint with appropriate government agencies, such as the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) or state labor departments, if required before suing.
  • Negotiation: Engage in settlement discussions with your former employer to seek compensation without going to court.
  • Litigation: Represent you in court if a lawsuit is necessary, presenting evidence, questioning witnesses, and making legal arguments to support your case.
  • Documentation and Evidence Gathering: Help collect and organize necessary documents, such as employment contracts, company policies, performance reviews, emails, and witness statements.
  • Protecting Against Retaliation: Advise you on how to handle any retaliation or further adverse actions from your former employer.

How Are Wrongful Termination Lawyers Paid?

Wrongful termination lawyers typically charge for their services in one of the following ways:

  • Contingency Fee: Many work on a contingency basis, meaning they only get paid if you win or settle your case. Their fee is a percentage of the compensation you receive, usually ranging from 25% to 40%.
  • Hourly Rate: Some lawyers charge an hourly rate, which can range from $200 to $600 or more, depending on experience and location.
  • Retainer Fee: A retainer is an upfront payment against which the lawyer bills their hourly rate. Once the retainer is exhausted, you may need to replenish it.
  • Flat Fee: For specific services, such as reviewing a severance agreement, a lawyer might charge a flat fee.

It's important to discuss payment arrangements during your initial consultation to understand how fees and expenses will be handled.

How Much Does a Wrongful Termination Lawyer Cost?

The cost varies based on the complexity of your case, the lawyer's experience, and the fee arrangement:

  • Contingency Fees: If you win or settle, the lawyer's fee will be a percentage of the award. For example, if you settle for $100,000 and the contingency fee is 30%, the lawyer receives $30,000.
  • Hourly Rates: Total costs depend on the number of hours worked. A straightforward case might require 20 hours ($4,000 to $12,000), while complex cases can exceed 100 hours.
  • Additional Expenses: Be aware of other costs such as court filing fees, costs for depositions, expert witness fees, and administrative expenses, which may be billed separately.

Always request a written fee agreement detailing all potential costs.

Top Questions to Ask a Wrongful Termination Lawyer

  1. What is your experience with wrongful termination cases similar to mine?
    Ensure the lawyer has relevant experience and a successful track record.
  2. How do you charge for your services?
    Understand the fee structure and any additional costs.
  3. What is the likely outcome of my case?
    Get an honest assessment of your chances of success and potential compensation.
  4. What is the estimated timeline for resolving my case?
    Know how long the process may take, from filing to settlement or trial.
  5. What steps will you take to build my case?
    Understand the strategy and what will be required from you.
  6. Will my case go to trial, or can it be settled out of court?
    Discuss the possibilities and implications of each option.
  7. How will you keep me informed about my case?
    Ensure there will be regular updates and open communication.

How to Check the Credibility of a Wrongful Termination Lawyer

  • Verify Their License: Check your state's bar association website to confirm the lawyer is licensed and in good standing.
  • Review Their Experience: Look for lawyers who specialize in employment law and have specific experience with wrongful termination cases.
  • Read Client Reviews: Websites like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, or Google Reviews can provide insights into the lawyer's reputation.
  • Ask for References: Reputable lawyers should be willing to provide references from past clients.
  • Professional Memberships: Membership in organizations like the National Employment Lawyers Association (NELA) indicates a focus on employment law.
  • Disciplinary Record: Ensure the lawyer has no history of disciplinary actions or complaints.

What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?

To make the most of your initial meeting:
