This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

Generous and Responsive

I came across Usman Sleemi while searching for an employment attorney in my area. He provided valuable consultation and follow-up, which was incredibly beneficial to my employment situation. Thanks to his help and guidance, I am very pleased with the outcome. From the start, Usman has been communi...cative and responsive. He takes the time to listen and offer meaningful advice. And he goes out of his way to ensure that his clients are well taken care of.

Happy Camper!

Usmaan is a very intelligent lawyer, and he promptly returns calls. I am extremely pleased with the outcome and will recommend him at any opportunity I am given. During my case he had to overcome some large obstacles, that I thought would terminate my claim to compensation. However, he was able to na...vigate these issues in a manner that did not weaken my case.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
