Employment dispute

Having worked with Jonathan Fitch (Fitch Law Partners LLP) many years ago, I reached out to him for counsel in the midst of a wrongful termination. Jonathan brought Ms. Baer to the case, and she became the lead. Heather was thoughtful, thorough, responsive, and persistent. She proved to be a val...uable and valued strategic partner as we entered negotiations with my previous employer. Although historically intractable, this employer succumbed to the presentation of our highly persuasive position, ultimately agreeing to a severance three times that of its original offer. Further, we reached settlement in fewer than two months--a relief, as I had feared a protracted battle. While I certainly hope not to find myself in such circumstances in the future, I would not hesitate to retain her again. I recommend her without qualification.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
