Jeffrey Responded Right Away

I’m still in the early stages. However based on how quickly I received a response and the empathy and temperament displayed, I’m happy with this firm and would recommend to anyone.

Thank you Jeffrey!

Jeffrey was an excellent lawyer and I would highly recommend him! I'm so grateful that he agreed to take on my case. He is the last person your company will want to hear from!

Very straight forward and honest assessment of my employment question

I had a nice long phone consultation with Maya Risman at no charge She was thoughtful and straightforward regarding concerns I had regarding my current employment situation / Performance Improvement Plan. Her assessment was without pretense and I will definitely hire this firm if I need further/fut...ure help with my situation.

Thanks so much for the kind review, although I believe it was intended for my partner, Maya. https://www.avvo.com/attorneys/10007-ny-maya-risman-949547.html

Hostile work environment and planned exit

I came to the Risman law firm for assistance with a very messy exit from my previous company. At the time I was working for a large company that was going through changes and found myself in a highly abusive situation, feeling completely powerless going against this massive corporation. I needed help... and protection and serious advice on how to get out amicably and professionally, while getting what I deserved. I started working with Jeff who guided me through this year long painful battle between said company and myself. The entire time he responded promptly to my emails, calls, and texts at all hours- literally responding late at night and early in the morning during dire times. I cannot put into words how stressful this time in my life was and he gave me the peace of mind I needed. Jeff came up with an executable plan for my exit, and at the time I was nervous/stressed about the plan- in the end he was totally right. Dealing with corporations is a game he clearly knew how to play. It was readily apparent he has experience and knowledge in these situations. I would highly recommend the Risman firm to a friend.

Thank you Jeffery!

I had such a great free consultation with Jeffery today that I don't think it even should have been free. He didn't try to rush me off the phone it was him that did most of the talking and he kept asking me for more details of my situation to better assess it. I wasnt looking to hire an attorney f...or a case but just for some legal perspective from a professional on a work situation I find myself in and he gave me a number for another agency that might be more fitting in terms of cost and the short amount of time that I needed to speak with a lawyer. If anything should arise with an employer of mine in the future and I actually do need to hire a lawyer I will contact him again.
