Great attorney !!

Lisa assisted with a claim against an employer. I found her to be knowledgeable, great at communication and strategic in the way my case was handled. Being in this situation was very stressful on a personal level and having a fantastic attorney makes all the difference. I hope to never be in this si...tuation again but would hire Lisa again, without reservation, if I was.

Positive Experience

I had a very positive experience working with Lisa and would recommend her to others who need a staunch advocate and supporter. She listened carefully to the circumstances of my complaint against a former employer and quickly grasped the details, concluding that I had a case worthy of pursuit. She ...is very professional and meticulous. Her written letters did a great job of capturing the facts and explaining the essence of our case. I appreciated that she asked for my input and respectfully listened to it and took it under advisement. The overall effort took longer than I expected, but Lisa remained steadfast and encouraging throughout, even when my confidence sometimes wavered. It felt good to know she was in my corner. She was thorough in her research and very clear and articulate in her status updates. It was evident that she remained consistently focused on my case. It was very easy to maintain the thread of our conversations throughout the entire multi-month process. I never wondered where things stood. This extended to her precise accounting and invoicing. Though I suspect this is a customary practice, I nevertheless found it very helpful. It served more than one purpose. It provided a detailed list of actions completed and a glimpse into her thoroughness, and it also inspired confidence that she was leaving no stone unturned in her fight to win my case. Thanks to Lisa, we achieved a desirable outcome!

Lisa is the lawyer you want in your corner!

I cannot express enough gratitude for the legal assistance provided by Lisa during a challenging period in my professional life. My case was complex in that I was still employed by the company while pursuing the discrimination charge. Lisa was dedicated to protecting my rights which made a signific...ant difference in my ability to face the challenges with confidence. Lisa always made herself readily available to address my concerns and answer my questions at every step of the way, offering a level of personal attention that I doubt I would have received from a larger firm. Lisa is the real deal – no-nonsense, efficient, and dedicated to getting the job done promptly. I wholeheartedly recommend Lisa to anyone facing employment-related legal challenges. Thank you, Lisa, for making a profound difference in my life during a challenging period.

Glad to have Lisa Fried-Grodin on my side!

I was referred to Lisa Fried-Grodin by another attorney who had a conflict in my case. I contacted, consulted with, and hired Lisa to represent me in an employment matter. Lisa asked many questions throughout my time working with her and I feel that she really understood my situation. I found Li...sa to be thorough, detail-oriented, and a strong advocate. Lisa was particularly attentive to the details of all written documents. I learned a lot about the laws pertaining to my situation. I think the end result in my case is much better than I ever could have imagined and is a direct result of hiring Lisa. I am happy that I found my way to Lisa and that she was my legal advocate.

Lisa Made All The Difference

Lisa was highly recommended considering her exceptional reputation in employment law. Her expertise and dedication to my case were evident in her work from the very beginning. She was clear in her advice, easy to work with, supportive, and decisive throughout a process with many twists and turns. ...She was hard-working and always one step ahead in the process. She stood beside me, offering excellent guidance every step of the way. She fought for my rights with her incredible experience, and knowledge of employment law. Lisa made all the difference in achieving a successful outcome. I was fortunate and honored to have her represent me. I highly recommend Lisa Fried-Grodin! LH
