Skilled and knowledgeable legal counsel
Ms. Franqui provided me with counsel during my layoff. Her analytical, research, communication, and interpersonal skills were considerable. Not only did she provide great services, but she also was a reassuring presence during a difficult time.

Elizabeth Franqui's Lawyer Endorsements
"When client resources were unable to provide an answer to a pressing employment law matter, Liz was prompt, accurate and articulate in explaining the legal issues and I was able to provide my client with the correct answer in no time. I greatly appreciate that Liz made my client's concerns a priority. Her knowledge and professionalism are superb."
"I highly recommend Elizabeth Franqui as an exceptional employment law attorney. When I was in need of counsel regarding my rights as an employee, Liz gave me excellent advice. She was knowledgeable, honest, and compassionate. While my circumstances were such that I did not need to retain an attorney at the time, I would definitely retain Ms. Franqui's legal services should they ever be needed in the future."
"I endorse this lawyer. Ms. Franqui has worked with and assisted me on two major cases. One ended in a million dollar settlement for our clients and the other in a $2.35 million jury verdict in favor of our client. I can honestly say that neither outcome would have been as stupendous without Ms. Franqui's invaluable work and input. She is highly-skilled, dedicated, innovative, dependable, and professional. I cannot say enough good things about her or how lucky we were to have her involved in both matters."
