Yes, there are lawyers out there with integrity.

I was put in a difficult situation when I was fired in July 2022. Being a member of a Union for 36 years you would think they would do all they could to help me. That wasn't the case, Mr. Hilferty helped me jazz up a letter to my Union on his own time to see if this would get them to acknowledge my r...ights and their responsibilities for representing me. It didn't work. After contacting him and stating I wanted to sign a retainer and have his law firm represent me, he offered to help me file a complaint with the NLRB and do a weekly phone consultation at no expense to me. I believe Mr. Hilferty to be a straight shooter and a man of integrity. That is why I hired his firm to help me to get my Union to do the right thing. Because of the professionalism of Mr. Hilferty and his staff and the beautifully written letter that was sent to my Union, I'm finally going to arbitration and know the path would have been so much more difficult without them in my corner. I can't thank him enough for all his help from day one.

A great advocate for those experiencing workplace harassment.

From the beginning, Mr. Hilferty has been a wonderful advocate and champion in helping get resolve on my case involving workplace harassment. His knowledge and guidance is appreciated more than words can convey. And the resolution of the case was more than I had hoped for. Thank you so much for your ...hard work.

COVID Collateral Damage- JO

COVID has caused significant uncertainty & angst globally. When it came time to have to separate from my employer much, much sooner than I ever would have wanted to. Mike helped organize a strategic exit. The agreement was reflective of the problem at hand- COVID. This allows me to move on to look fo...r future employment in an untainted fashion. I was unfortunately only with my former employer for 6 months which does not look good on a resume! Now both employee & hopefully employer can move on with as little impact as possible during these COVID times... Thanks Mike & team!

Mr. Hilferty Jr is a great lawyer

After meeting with a few lawyers barley listened to me and they refused to take on my employment case but Mr. Hilferty and his team sat with me and listened to my concerns, helped me, and gave me the confidence to move forward with my case. I really would like to thank him and his team from the botto...m of my heart.

Everything You Would Want in a Time of Need from An Attorney

I recommend Michael Hilferty without reservation. I hired him to represent me in a highly contentious employment matter based upon his renowned legal expertise. Not only did he adeptly navigate my case with opposing counsel, but he provided me with a level of support that was invaluable in such a str...essful situation. Michael was highly responsive to both my questions and the very tight deadlines of my case. He afforded me all the time I needed to dialogue with him, clearly and honestly explained my options, and ensured all aspects of the case were addressed to my satisfaction. Moreover, Michael exhibited genuine empathy toward me and several times checked in with me to see how I was handling the stress of the case despite the demands of his many other duties as Managing Partner. Without a doubt, the conditions of my separation from my former employer would have been much worse if I hadn't hired Michael.
