Attorney Review

Attorney Wynter Allen represented me in an employment termination, retaliation and discrimination case. She was always polite and professional. She is extremely knowledgeable in the area of employment law. Her rates were fair, and the time spent on my case efficient. I was kept updated on all hap...penings in my case. She attained a successful outcome (reinstatement with backpay) for me in a case involving a federal agency. Bottom line she is an excellent attorney, always takes the high road, and I would highly recommend her to those with labor and employment issues.

A person you can trust with a fair and expert perspective

Wynter certainly demonstrated her expertise in the area of employement law in my engagements with her. She reviewed the facts, asked the right quetions, and provided expertise in the matters at hand. However, in a city full of "smart" lawyers, what sets Wynter above and beyond, is her ability to list...en to her client's needs and in concert with the client, come up with a comprehensive game plan. She provides timely responses and is focused on your matter. She provides clear options and the potential results from pursuing certain approaches. She's not just about "getting the other guy" but doing what is right and just. She had fair legal fees and does not "inflate" her hours to bill more. Wynter was a reassuring and professional presence in my interactions with my employer and I would recommend her and the firm to others.

Top Employment Attorney Who Will Fight For You

Ms. Allen represented me on a severance issue with my former employee. She showed compassion for my situation and was always extremely practical in presenting me the options available. Even though I was not a big client, I felt I had Ms. Allen's complete dedication to my case. She was very respons...ive to every inquiry and prompt in handling the case. I could not have asked for better representation.
