Extremely Helpful

The first thing Marjorie did was help me feel that my feelings were valid. I was in a very difficult work situation where I was seeking to leave an employer with fair compensation as they attempted to remove me without proper severance. She listened to me. She made me comfortable and helped me find t...he strength to stand up for myself. Marjorie was always very clear about what I should expect and set realistic outcomes. She helped with my communication to my former employer and how to objection handle. In the end, I actually walked away with more than I expected.

Best there is

After multiple traumatic experiences, including consulting with attorneys who had little to no empathy, Marjorie became the light I needed in so much darkness. She always maintained a respectful, professional, demeanor and was there for me throughout the entire case, making it as comfortable for me a...s she possibly could. Her kind, and understanding ways however, should not be underestimated or mistaken for weakness. She will fight like hell and do whatever it takes to ensure justice is brought to you. She is extremely knowledgeable and I had no doubts in her strength and abilities. Thanks to Marjorie and her team, justice has been brought to me, and I am eternally grateful to them all.

Never Alone

These have been the worst two years of my life. After being sexually harassed by my supervisor and fired for complaining about it the pandemic hit and I could not find a job, anywhere. Depression set in and I could not function. But Marjorie stayed on top of my case and regularly checked in with me ...to make sure I was OK. It was a small thing. But, it made me feel like I was never alone. When it came down to settling my case she was so passionate and said everything I wanted to say but couldn't. In the end she got me what I wanted. She didn't let me give up and really made me feel taken care of.

Reliable

Ms Mesidor helped to get me dismissed from a class action case where I was being falsely named. She reviewed the relevant documents, carefully explained the details of the case, and confirmed that I was being unnecessarily involved. She followed up with with the attorneys who filed the suit and drew ...up the nessasary paperwork required to clear my name from the suit. There were multiple rounds of follow-up required and Ms Mesidor was diligent and patient with me. I would hire her again and absolutely recommend her legal services.
