SB Review

I truly enjoyed working with Maya and Jeff. They really made it quite easy and made sure I understood every detail throughout the process. They are extremely professional and were able to answer all of my questions and allay my concerns. I wholeheartedly recommend their services for someone in need ...of employment representation.

Great lawyer

Jeffrey Risman is an excellent attorney. I called his office and he returned my call almost immediately. We scheduled to meet the following day. During that meeting he was very patient with his time and addressed all of questions and concerns and was extremely knowledgeable as it pertained to employm...ent law, employer separation agreements, and severance packages. My issue was resolved favorably and he followed up to ensure that everything had transpired favorably. I highly recommend his services.

Excellent Emplyment Lawyer

I contacted Jeff Risman to give me advice on how to handle situations at work as I was harassed and discriminated as a result of my pregnancy. He set down with me for a complimentary consultation and for an hour he carefully took down every single detail that he needed. He didn't promise miracles and... didn't want to push me into lawsuits. He just simply carefully advised me what to do and drafted a letter for my employers. I went through 2 months of hell, but every time I needed to contact him, he was always available. He kept me on track as to what I need to do and asked me regularly for details that were happening at work. I never waited more then 15 min for his response. Thank you for keeping me on track and standing by me while I was in such a fragile state of mind. I still have my job, and I certainly couldn't have done this without your advice and support.

Honest & Trustworthy

Prior to working and consulting with Jeff Risman on my employment issues, I felt all lawyers were self serving and dishonest to a degree. However my feelings have changed 1000% at least when it comes to obtaining advise and consulting from Jeff. I've used Jeff on two distinct occasions. One s...ituation had involved a past employer withholding contractually obligated performance bonus payments upon my departure from the company. Needless to say Jeff provided me with the insight and information to work with my previous employer to obtain what was rightfully owed. We avoided litigation and any legal services. The other occasion was with a potential employer working through a recruiter whom was seeking to obtain confidential information. With Jeff's help we avoided all uncomfortable confrontations and with him wound up going direct to the organizations HR department to fulfill all my new hire needs. Thanks to Jeff I was able to become gainfully employed with out the harassment of the external recruiter. I now feel comfortable seeking guidance from Jeff on other personal and professional matters.
