Would highly recomend
I am writing about my experience with McElroy Law Firm, LLC, particularly with partner Rachel L. McElroy, and her outstanding expertise in employment law and litigation.

She was wonderful!
I loved her focus on trauma-informed lawyering. She understands that starting/resolving a complaint is a big event in the person's life and she wants to help her clients get through it and then move on with their lives.

One of the very best attorneys that I have ever worked with
Rachel is a brilliant litigator, has complete command of the most nuanced law arguments, tactful and pragmatic in how she applies the law and presents arguments. As a result, she has excellent court presence and inspires a high degree of credibility. Rachel demonstrates the highest level of integrity...
"I worked as co-counsel with Rachel on a complicated legal matter, and I also know her from the workers' rights legal community. She is very bright, and cares a lot about her clients. I highly recommend working with her."
"I have co-counseled with Rache on a matter. That means that we both were an attorney for an individual getting sued. Rachel is fantastic. I really loved working with her because of her intelligence and diligence. With respect to her intelligence, she often thinks of points that I do not. That's the hallmark of an attorney that you want on your time. With respect to her diligence, Rachel is more on top of her cases than most attorneys I've met, she always keeps the client in the loop, and you can be sure that Rachel will not make any mistake because she was not prepared. Rachel is a very fine attorney and one of the best I've worked with. I would definitely endorse her to any potential client."
"Yes, I am biased, Rachel is my wife. However, with that said, since I know her so well I can speak to what an amazing attorney she is. She treats every client with respect, gives them honest advice, and fights for their rights if they have been illegally wronged. Obviously I highly recommend her!"
"Rachel is a former colleague and a friend, While we don't always get to choose the former, I'm glad that relationship led to the latter. Rachel is a trusted sounding board and I often seek her input when my practice requires the perspective of a lawyer in her jurisdiction. There is no better compliment I can give than to say that Rachel is my "go-to" when I need assistance in Western Pennsylvania."
"Rachel and I worked together on several employment discrimination issues. Rachel is an attorney that truly cares about her clients, and will fight to make sure they are heard. I highly recommend Rachel for anyone considering litigation against their employer."
"Rachel McElroy is an intelligent, hardworking and compassionate lawyer. Her clients are lucky to have her."
"Extremely bright attorney dedicated to her clients. My go-to source for employment law issues. I endorse her without reservation."
