EEO case with employer

After several years with my agency I found myself needed to file an EEO case on the basis of racial discrimination. I used Janice's services for a formal and informal complaint. She was very thorough, knowledgeable and prompt. My case was settled with an outcome better than I expected due to Janic...e's representation. I have referred her several times and will continue to do so.

"A thorough Pro"

I was a senior executive for an organization and contacted Ms Jones to assist with negotiating a severance agreement and to ensure that my reputation would not be harmed would as a result of my departure. Ms Jones was practical, thorough and operated with a sense of urgency to resolve this matter to ...my complete satisfaction. I received an appropriate settlement as a result of professionalism and complete understanding of the law regarding the matter. She is experienced, thorough and easy to deal with and I felt her fees were very fair. I talked to several attorneys prior to choosing Ms Jones and I'm so glad I made the choice. Thank you so much Ms. Jones.

Federal Employee Harrassed/Retailiation

I am a 56 year-old black female who works for the Federal government. I was harassed by coworkers and my white supervisor. When i reported it, my supervisor retaliated by writing me up, lowering my rating, and taking my assignments away. I filed an EEO case and hired Ms. Jones for consultation. She ...gave me excellent advice on the situation and let me know without a favorable witness, it would be hard to win the case. Instead, she taught me how to try to settle the manner. She is honest, fair, and extremely knowledgeable of the laws. I recommend Ms. Jones.
