Greg Fidlon's Reviews

I want to express my deepest sense of gratitude and appreciation to Attorney Greg Fidlon & Attorney Nancy Baumgarten, for all the hard work that they put forth into my case (Internal Grievance filled with my employer). Their attention to detail and professionalism far surpasses their firm's reputation. Because of their diligence and dedication to their craft, they were able to bring my case to a successful close, one that I could live with. Should I have a need for their services again in the future, or know of anyone looking for a top notch Employment Law Firm, I would not hesitate to recommend them!!!!

I was turned down by 5 law firms untill i talked to Mr. Fidlon.I contacted
Mr. Fidlon from California.Mr. Fidlon took the case with no promises
and kept me informed every step via email and phone calls.Within a
very short time and in a very professional manner,Greg presented a
strong legal case that made my former employer raised a white flag
and settle my case to my complete satisfaction.Greg knows his stuff,
he is what i call a very friendly legal pit bull,

Said it would take 2 weeks to produce letter to company. After 2 weeks his colleague sent me 20 irrelevant questions via email, then both of them said they did 't get my answers via email. Then said they needed 3 more weeks. Greg called and told me he had not worked on my case at all and I would need to pay him for his colleague to transfer work back to him. I said that wasn't acceptable. He then resigned and wanted me sign a document which released him from everything. Of course I said no. I found a new attorney and he wrote the letter that night in 1.5 hours! All Greg wanted to do was have his colleague bill hours to make him money while he didn't work at all.

I hired the services of Greg Fidlon for a discrimination case that I was planning to file against my employer. However, the case was settled, thereby making it unnecessary to pursue the lawsuit. Clearly, the outcome was due to Greg's outstanding work as my attorney. Specifically, in his work on my case, Greg demonstrated knowledge of employment law; he consulted me at every stage and greatly valued by views; he was courteous and respectful, as well as very prompt in responding to my queries. Above all, Greg demonstrated that he is a caring human being , and not simply a law. Based on my experience, I would highlyrecommend Greg.

Although there are no guarantees when it comes to employment related cases, you can count on Greg doing an excellent job for you. While a lot of law firms look for slam dunk cases, Greg was willing to go up against my former employer which is a very large company with its own defense lawyers. My former employer had gone to the distance fabricating a case against me; however, Greg took my case because he took the time to not only study the case but I believe he also respected my honesty and integrity. In other words, although extremely logical, I believe Greg also appreciates the human aspects of the case. Through his excellent interview and listening skills, he also made good use of the facts and documents that I had collected against my former employer relative to my case. These, coupled with his excellent knowledge of the employment law, we were able to settle the case rather quickly. Greg is the ultimate professional and one that I would recommend to anyone that may be in need of an excellent attorney.

The main issue in this case concerned unpaid overime wages. Greg was obviously well-informed on the laws and applicable regulations involved He accurately interpreted the facts presented and realistically predicted the opposing parties likely settlement offer.

I was particularly impressed with his ability to gather and analyze the highly detailed data concerning the dates, hours worked, parties involved, etc. from the Excel spreadsheets and Word documents I provided. His computer savvy greatly reduced the billable time required to prepare for the negotiations with my former employer.

I hired Greg for an employment dispute with my gov't job, he was very knoledgeable, about gov't practices and law, I was always well informed of every move he made, He was very responsive to any questions or inquiries that I came to him with after working with him I found him to be a very trustworthy lawyer, He got a feel for what I wanted and I trusted him to make decisions for my benefit and just as I thought he did an excellent job with my case, Everything I wanted in a lawyer for this case Greg fit the bill, I would highly recommend him to anyone who need a lawyer for any employment issue. Thanks Greg

Greg has been wonderful! He has remained extremely professional and upheld a high level of integrity during my case. I was referred to Greg by Pre-paid legal and I have been completely satisfied with his level of professionalism. Greg and his business partner Nancy, have been both informative and reliable. I could not imagine going through my EEOC mediation without him and the results have far surpassed my expectations. I highly recommend Greg and Nancy; I will definitely pass Greg's contact information on to my closest business colleagues."

I used Greg for an employment separation agreement negotiation. He was responsive and knowledgeable - a refreshing experience with the legal industry. He often sent emails in the evening and called me to update or confirm topics.

A disgruntled former employee of my company filed a complaint with the U.S. Department of Labor alleging unpaid wages. Not only was the former employee paid appropriately, but he had actually embezzled tens of thousands of dollars from the company. Against this backdrop, wherein the stakes were clearly high, and wherein we were allotted 14 days to respond, I went shopping for an attorney. I interviewed several lawyers whose sole agenda, it turned out, was to discuss money, rather than the facts of the case and if they could actually help us. This was the extent of their so-called ‘free consultation.’ When I got to Greg Fidlon, however, he was genuinely engaged, asked great questions and gave me his assessment of the way ahead. After which, fees were discussed, based on what would actually be required of him. (What a novel concept!) Thereafter, I went to his office with my paperwork. He never made me feel like I was just a dollar bill. He never looked at his watch or tried to rush me along. The typical attorney tact. He was genuine and thoughtful. We devised our strategy as a team. He consulted with me throughout the ordeal. He ALWAYS got back to me the same day, even on the weekends, when such was completely unexpected. And, ultimately, the Department of Labor found no merit in the former employee’s claim, based on our representation of the facts and Greg Fidlon’s strategy for presenting same.

As an MBA, I have had to contend with innumerable attorneys since 1986. This is the first, and so far the only time I’ve actually ‘enjoyed’ it. I would highly recommend Greg for any employment-related matter. My only regret is that he doesn’t practice all fields of law!

Greg Fidlon was recommended to me by a legal service team that I am a member of to help facilitate a discriminatory termination dispute with a former employer. At the time, I was searching for a legal representative that would not only represent my best interests but would also provide guidance as it relates to my overall legal rights. I also needed help in determining what would be the appropriate path to proceed with given my particular circumstance. Needless to say that when I had my first meeting with Greg, I was very pleased with the approach that he took to work on my case. His level of knowledge within his field was impressive as was his commitment to achieve the best resolution for my case on my behalf. Throughout the process, the level of communication with Greg was regular and timely and I never felt rushed or pressured into making any decisions that I did not feel was right for me or that would go against my own personal beliefs.
Greg helped to negotiate the terms of my settlement package, to include medical coverage as well as additional compensation for me and my family at an increased value than what my previous employer first offered. The overall process took a few months. Given the different paths that the process could have taken, I was very pleased that we were able to reach a settlement in such a short period of time.

Out of pocket fees were within industry standard and were well worth the outcome. I definitely feel that I faired far better than if I had not had Greg representing me. I would definitely retain his services again in the future and would recommend him to family and friends.

Greg Fidlon was recommended to me by the Georgia bar to help facilitate a separation agreement with a former employer. Although I have never needed to seek the support of professional counsel in the past, as I indicated in the title of this review above, I was very impressed with the diligence, subject-matter expertise, candor and overall professionalism displayed by Greg Fidlon as my attorney and thus would be hard-pressed to imagine a better experience. In short, he displayed a level of integrity that all of his colleagues, within his profession, should aspire to.
The primary thrust of me seeking counsel was to ensure that the initial separation agreement offered by my employer was in my best interest given the particulars surrounding my resignation. At the onset of my interaction with Greg, I shared with him that I was not interested in filing suit of any sort against my former employer but rather just wanted to be certain that the terms offered in the separation agreement adequately protected me and my family. Greg listened very well and never attempted to push any sort of pre-conceived agenda nor did he try to strong-arm me into filing any suit. Rather he objectively listened to the details surrounding my situation and provided some suggestions that we should make to the separation agreement to protect my interests.
From that point onward, Greg dealt on my behalf directly with the attorneys from my former employer: which allowed me to focus on other priorities - throughout the negotiation process. Greg provided updates on a regular basis as warranted: I always felt that I was keenly in the loop.
Ultimately, Greg was able to negotiate all of the terms that we wanted in the separation agreement that protected both me and my family. Moreover, Greg was also able to negotiate additional financial compensation and additional medical coverage both of which were beyond my expectations.
Greg also handled the process in a very expeditious timeframe. The entire process was completed in a matter of weeks. In terms of costs for his services, Greg was very up-front with the estimate, and how the billing process works. If anything, the number of billing hours and the cost to me were lower than what I had expected.
In summary, I would strongly recommend the services of Greg Fidlon and will not hesitate to use him again in the future if the circumstances present themselves. Furthermore, I would also seek out his advice on other attorneys that he might recommend if the particular legal needs were not conducive to his areas of expertise.

ATTORNEY GREG FIDLON WAS SURPRISINGLY ATTENTIVE DURING THE INITIAL CONSULTATION. SO MUCH SO THAT ON THE DAY OF MEDIATION, HE SURPRISED ME WITH AN EXACT RECALL OF EVERYTHING I SAID. I DIDN'T THINK HE HAD WRITTEN OR REMEMBERED ALL I SAID. HE USED IT ALL DURING HIS OPENING STATEMENT, AND THAT ALONE I BELIEVE WON THE CASE. I WAS THEN AND STILL AM VERY THANKFUL TO HAVE HIM AS MY LAWYER. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND HIM.

Greg is very knowledgeable and does great work. He responds promptly to emails and phone calls. He helped me understand the issues at hand to help me make the best decision. We resolved the issue in a timely manner. I will seek his advice if future issues come up and definitely recommend him to everyone.

Greg listened to my issues and provided feedback on the best course of action for the result I wanted.

Excellent knowledge of employment law. Greg provided expectations that, at the end of the day, was right on the money. He provided excellent advice with my case, collected a larger settlement than expected - hard hitting and no nonsense approach. Not only did we settle out of court, recieve a more than expected but it was an open and shut case in less than 3 weeks.

The negligent employer couldn’t snake his way past him.

I highly recommend him and his firm for any employment compensation issues.

Greg was very knowledgeable about the subject matter relative to my case. He was quick to return my calls and/or e-mails and kept me well-informed of each and every development in my case. I would retain his services again in the future if needed. I would also recommend him to a colleague or friend without reservation.

In the course of representing me and my organization over several years in a very difficult, contentious case, Mr. Fidlon has done an outstanding job, writing superb pleadings, giving excellent counsel and keeping me advised of all of the developments and options in the case. He has always been available when needed and has answered every question to my satisfaction. He also brought about a successful result with this strategy and legal writing skills. The arguments he advanced on our behalf were accepted and adopted by the Court with regard to both preliminary issues and the ultimate resolution of the case.

Our medical practice was introduced to Atty Fidlon via an employee matter. Atty Fidlon was professional, reliable, courteous, and provided the best legal advice.
I highly recommend Atty Fidlon to any individual, company or organization seeking an honest attorney with the highest standards of justice.

Handled my matter in an expert, and highly professional manner. Dispensed good advice, was always available and responsive. I wouldn't hesitate to work with Greg again.
