Absolutely Fantastic!
I hired her as a fellow attorney when I had an employment discrimination issue. She was absolutely fantastic, understanding that while I am an attorney, I do not practice in this area of law. She was tough but fair with my former employer, and obtained a favorable outcome for me. Highly reccommend!

Excellent Representation
Jillian was very professional from the beginning. She explained what was necessary and the reason behind her request. I found her very easy to reach. I felt like I was being taken care of throughout the process. I would definitely recommend her as a lawyer. She is definitely the best!
"Jillian Weiss is the first attorney I'd think of in dealing with a matter involving discrimination and/or employment. I've known her for years, have referred both friends and clients to her, and all have advised me that she's been terrific in handling their cases."
