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.

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
