I spoke to Jeffrey to discuss a problematic employment situation and see what options I had in terms of legal action. He listened to my story, asked specific questions to get the full picture and discussed my options, while explicitly weighing the pros and cons of each. After the consultation, I felt... empowered to make an informed decision about my future, with the new perspective I had gained.

After being terminated from my employer when trying to return back to work after a disability I felt lost and didn't even know the right people to call nor the steps I needed to take. Many lawyers rejected my case but Jeffrey Risman was very empathetic and took the time to listen to me and took on my... case. He was always available when I had any questions and always kept me posted on what was going on. He managed to have me reinstated in about two months and a half, and still followed up with me to see how things were even after his job was done. He is a great labor lawyer and I highly recommend him to everyone. ES 7/2/14

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.

Things are never good when you find yourself needing or even thinking about, an employment lawyer. Even though my case wound up being a relatively simple one, it wasn’t something that I would have been able to handle on my own. And despite me obviously not being one of Jeffrey’s biggest clients, h...e still provided me the same excellent advice, was extremely patient with my craziness and anxiety, and got back to me just as promptly as he did with the other reviewers on this website (“within minutes” would not be an exaggeration). I have already indirectly passed his name on to someone else needing help with an employment issue and would definitely recommend him.

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.
