You need a great lawyer, Jeffrey Risman is your man.

Jeffrey Risman is an excellent attorney. Caring and compassionate, he will work his hardest to secure the best possible outcome for a case. Rarely do you find such characteristics embodied in one person. From our initial meeting, I knew I made the right choice. Jeffrey listened and gave me the se...nse of urgency to my case that I wanted. In a past issue with a former employee, I used a different law firm, and my experience was terrible as it felt I could never talk to my attorney, and spoke more with legal assistants. In dealing with Risman & Risman, no week passed without Jeffrey personally reaching out to me to provide an update on events occurring on my case. He made me feel more like one of his friends, rather than just feeling like a client. I can whole heartily recommend Risman and Risman Law Offices to any of my friends and family. Their services are truly top notch. Jeffrey, You Rock!!!!

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.

Excellent Lawyers!

A few months ago I was discharged from my job when I informed my employers who are attorneys I was pregnant. I knew at the time what had happened to me was absolutely wrong and unfair. How to prove it was my first concern and who was going to assist me was my second concern. I went on the website an...d came across a few attorneys I felt would be able to assist me with this case. One of them was not able to do so and dropped the case. I then went back on the website and came across Risman & Risman, PC. When I spoke to Jeffrey about my case, I knew I had found the right attorney! When your dealing with the law it can be a scary thing, especially in my situation where I was going up against a well known law firm. It can be very intimidating! Dealing with attorneys Jeffrey and Maya they made me feel very comfortable and they went over all details, not just once but several times with me before dealing with the problem at hand. That showed they are not hasty but they take their time to figure out how they are going to handle your lawsuit. They also take the time out to hear what you have to say and they are very respectful and considerate. Jeffrey and Maya make you feel like they are truly on your side, especially when you feel the odds are against you. I was extremely happy with the results of my lawsuit/settlement, especially considering my attorneys had to go up against some pretty difficult attorneys. Should I ever have another problem in the future, I will definitely consider working with these two attorneys again. Once again, thank you Jeff and Maya!!!

Knowledgeable & Dedicated

I came to Jeffrey regarding discrimination by my manager. He listened carefully to my concerns and then clearly explained my options and how best to proceed. I was very stressed, but I immediately felt at ease because Jeffrey's knowledge of the law and dedication to me as client were apparent from ...the start. Thanks to his efforts and advice, there has been a marked improvement at the workplace. I highly recommend Jeffrey.

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.
