If you are looking for counsel that will take the time to understand YOU, your needs, your wants, and what is in your best interest, look no further. Several years ago, I stumbled across the Laura A. Panos Law Office online when in need of employment law advice. Recently, when I needed very strong an...d capable representation for a personally and professionally upsetting and difficult employment situation, I knew that Laura would be the right representation for me. I cannot say enough good things about Laura and her office. She is incredibly knowledgeable, competent, compassionate, and passionate. It is the combination of all of these traits that I believe makes her so outstanding at what she does. Effective and aggressive representation with a unique perspective -- it is right there on her website. It's that description that brought me to her the first time, what I found to be true and brought me back the second time, and should I ever need her in the future. Laura will help guide you to what YOU need, understanding you as a unique person first and foremost. And, based on what you want, she will fight for you like no else will fight for you. I am thankful for Laura's legal representation. Even more so, perhaps, is the confidence knowing that I had someone truly in my corner when dealing with a very emotional and upsetting employment situation. If you've read this review - look no further. You've found the lawyer you've been looking for.

From the first day, Laura has been a tireless advocate. Her knowledge of employment law is exceptional and her genuine desire to help women with employment issues is unparalleled. She is smart, determined, hard working and compassionate. I vetted a lot of attorneys and I am so happy I chose Laura Pa...nos!! She doesn’t stop until the job is done. I can’t recommend her enough.

Laura is very good at listening and remembering the details of a complex situation, as workplace issues often are. She is also very kind and cares about my wellbeing, which I appreciate. She is responsive and communicative. She is very good at figuring out strategies to identify and achieve the desir...ed outcome. I highly recommend her!

I will always be profoundly grateful for the invaluable help Laura Panos provided to me when—at age 61 and after more than 20 years of dedicated and well-regarded service with a company—“my position was eliminated.” (I love how they phrase that: They’re not casting out a human being, just eliminating... a position! It’s strictly a business decision, with no moral ramifications.) It feels like a mugging. You are afraid, angry, diminished, and vulnerable, and amid this sudden torrent of emotion, they thrust incomprehensible legal documents at you with imminent deadlines to sign them. Panos was like a fierce gunslinger that stood between me and a remorseless corporate lynch mob. She was expert in the legal rights that I didn’t know I had, as well as the tactics the company was using to circumvent them. She clearly explained strategies to me with no bullshit, gave me options, and then completely took charge of negotiations. The lawyers and human resources personnel at my company were arrogant and efficiently heartless. The bottom line was all. But she extracted significant concessions in severance pay and health benefits that really helped reduce a lot of financial trauma. But more than that, she also extracted a bit of justice. She represented me as a person. Throughout the entire grueling process, she was always available. She listened with great patience, kindness, and caring. She held a mirror up to the corporate types, constantly reminding them that a human being was involved. She recognized how important it was to stand up for that. And that reminded me that I was a worthwhile human being—a feeling that my employers had squeezed out of me and that she helped restore.

Laura represented me for over two years in an employment-related matter, and I would highly recommend her services! I was extremely impressed with her effort and patience, as well as her results throughout the process. Not only did I feel as though I was her only client (I definitely wasn’t), I also ...got the impression that she was going the extra mile simply because she wanted to make the world a better place. I consider myself a very detail-oriented person who can write well, but I realized I was outdone by Laura in both regards as I watched her strive to perfect our legal responses over and over again. I’m not permitted to discuss the details of my settlement, but I can say that the outcome was much more fair than it would have been had I not worked with Laura. You’d be crazy to be represented by anyone else in an employment-related issue when your reputation and livelihood are at stake!
