Excellent Attorney

I utilized Mrs. Earle in defense of an appeal of my unemployment benefits case. I was surprised at how thoroughly and quickly she understood my case. She represented me on the phone hearing with the Administrative Law Judge and the employer. She was very thorough and aggressive with my case and wo...n the hearing hands down. I now collect my unemployment benefits weekly as deserved. I would highly recommend her for any case involving her specialty, Labor and unemployment law.

Dedicated, aggressive and talented

Ms. Earle was impressive from the first moment we met. She is upfront and forthcoming, and will not give false hope or promises. She understands all aspects of employment and labor law, and has the courtroom experience to back up all the "book smarts". I found her to be very tenacious and aggressi...ve, but never beyond what I was comfortable with. She communicated with me very well during all aspects of the case to ensure that I was happy and comfortable with the decisions we were making. This was a perfect approach. She always kept me informed and worked closely with me, developing a deep mutual trust. This was a very good feeling. I always knew that she understood my position, and I trusted her to defend it vigorously. I highly recommend Ms. Earle.
