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.

Retaliation claim

Sleemi helped me with my retaliation claim and was able to recovered all that I was entitled to and more. I recommend Sleemi for anyone that is going through some retaliation at work or are not receiving overtime pay.

Outstanding

Usmaan Sleemi has been a fantastic lawyer for me over the years. I originally hired him to help me with a labor lawsuit against a prior employer, which he won for me. He was extremely thorough, attentive and made sure I was fully prepared for the hearing. Since then Usmaan has provided me with plenty... of advice and support through various legal matters that have come up in my life. Usmaan has always managed to steer me in the right direction, whether it be providing sound advice through a consultation, or referring me another lawyer that may be better suited to fit my specific needs at that time. He is always a pleasure to deal with, responds in a very timely manner, and will spend the time necessary to fully understand the issue at hand. I will continue to recommend him to friends and family for any legal matters.

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.
