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.

Excellent experience

My role was eliminated through a restructuring at my company. Lisa helped me understand my options and was able to negotiate a reasonable settlement. Lisa did a great job of assessing the situation and articulating the issues to my employer in a very direct and confident way without being antagonis...tic. The process to resolve took 2 months however her time charged was very reasonable - she was great at being very efficient with her time which I greatly appreciated. We were dealing with a very large and sophisticated company which she held her own against.

Effective and Compassionate

Ms. Fried-Grodin represented me in an employment matter. When we first spoke, I was confused and unclear about what my rights were or what to expect. She explained the laws clearly and was honest with me about what I realistically hope for in the way of a settlement. She's compassionate, smart, knowl...edgeable, and confident, and it was clear from day 1 that I could trust her to have my best interests in mind. She was exceedingly generous with her time, and I was well-represented. Highly recommended.

Extremely Satisfied

I retained Lisa to represent me as she has experience representing both the employee and the employer. In this case, I was the employer. Lisa is an excellent listener. She quickly identified and understood the key issues at hand. She was excellent with her attention to all of the details of my ca...se.. She was extremely timely in her communications back and forth both with me and with opposing attorney and, regularly monitored due dates from opposing attorney and initiated contact when needed. She reviewed with me both pros and cons of different strategies. Lisa was very professional and prompt in her communications with me both verbal and written. She was very easy to talk to and to arrive at an agreed upon approach. I always felt extremely confident in Lisa's representation of me and her thoroughness when it came to applying the law to my case. I also felt personally supported by Lisa at all times throughout the process and again, always felt that I was listened to. I am extremely satisfied with the outcome of my case; an outcome that is much better than I could have ever expected. Lisa did whatever it took to keep the case moving with the goal of getting it resolved as quickly as possible. And, Lisa made the process seamless particularly given the current COVID situation. I would highly recommend Lisa and her firm to anyone who has an Employment Law situation either as the employee or the employer. Lisa is an excellent Employment Law attorney.

Highly recommended

I found Lisa here on Avvo so I thought it would be appropriate that I leave a review here for the benefit of future readers. Lisa took my complicated employer case in 2016 and took great care and time to truly understand the merits of the case. It was a sorted tale that went back nearly a year. L...isa was able to absorb the intricacies of the situation and understood it as well as I did by the end. She was not the only attorney I consulted, but she was most assuredly the one that paid the most attention and took the time to understand everything. Lisa guided me through a difficult time in my life and continually explained the rationale behind her suggestions but always allowed me to make the final decisions (and to take my time doing so). She would always take the time to discuss the pros and cons of any decision we chose to pursue. I cannot thank Lisa enough for her time, patience and expertise on the subject matter of employee/employer law. I would without hesitation recommend her to anyone seeking counsel for an employment matter.
