Won my employment legal issue

I am a client of Ms. Quinn and paralegal Peg, and she won my case in settlement. I met Colleen from a referral of a referral. I was facing a hostile work environment because of my sexual orientation (I'm a gay pastor/Chaplain) at the Veteran Affairs Hospital. I filed a EEOC against the Veteran Affair...s and won with Colleen leading the fight. She was costly for me, but was worth the risk. I say that not only in hindsight after winning the settlement, but I say this because I watched her advocate for me, with me, and I felt was with me throughout all of it. In my David and Goliath battle against the Federal Governement, Colleen and Peg picked up our little stones of my story and just like the story reveals, we won. I felt confident in her ability to help me navigate this. She also listened, like really listened, to the things that were impacting me and how they were impacting me. Also, Colleen allowed me to participate in my case and help keep my invoices as low as possible, too. I did research, wrote notes, worked on questions, organized my evidence. I was able to do all that while saving funds. I trusted her skill and training to take my non trained collection of things to be that things that she needed and she did so, expertly. On the documents for submission, she did her parts with such skill and precision. When interacting with opposing counsel and the judge, Colleen spoke with confidence and exerpertise. She was cool, calm, and a ninja. But most of all, Colleen and Peg believed in me. Being a gay, married, pastor in a christiandom that will constantly reject, including family, Colleen and Peg became my family, my believers, my cheer squad, my high five, my hug, and my lawyer. I will always remember Colleen and Peg and my heart will forever be grateful for the kindness, advocation, and just good lawyering that helped me win my case. If you are looking for a fantastic lawyer and a kind human, consider hiring Colleen and her team. She is an earth angel, wearing the white hat, and fighting the good fight. Thank you Colleen and Peg for being my lawyer. I pray that your work continues to fight the fight that others in my community can't do alone. Thank you for standing with me and so many being othered in all the ways. You are a true hero.

Client

Mrs Quinn was an incredible lawyer that pay attention to every little detail. She has a fire in her to win! She's efficient and effective. She has helped me with a wrongful death and intentional tort case. Sadly, I'm still going through court trying to get justice for my son but the time that I did ...use her she was fantastic.

The best adoption attorney!

We initially hired two lawyers that were not honest and didn't know what they were doing with our inter-state domestic adoption. We had paperwork unfiled, left incomplete or incorrectly done, which led to an overwhelming amount of stress, and thus stranded in another state clear across the U.S., una...ble to go home with our newborn son for almost a month. Colleen Quinn and her team came to our rescue and took over the adoption process. They were amazing and completed the needed process in a matter of days, which took almost a month of feet dragging with the previous lawyers. They were very thorough and cautious as to not have any issues in the future, explained every detail, and stayed in touch with everything. She and her team were an answered prayer. We are so grateful for their expertise.

Great help with our surrogacy journey

Colleen and Charli had helped us through our journey of surrogacy. They have been extremely helpful from the initial consulting, the contract drafting to the legal documents application. They always respond to our request quick (even during holidays or weekends). Colleen is very knowledgeable and pat...ient to answer any questions you may have. We greatly appreciated their help along the way. Definitely would recommended to other intended parents who need help with surrogacy.

Colleen was our attorney for a contested adoption and she is FANTASTIC. She's incredibly thorough and knowledgable about adoption law. We would recommend her to anyone for an adoption matter. She will make sure you have all of your questions answered and she takes care to make sure you understand ...the process. Highly recommend!!

"Although I'm an adoption attorney in another state, when I needed expert assistance in a chapter on assisted reproduction technology in an adoption book I was writing, Colleen's excellent reputation in the ART field made her the first person I called. Her knowledge is extensive, surpassed only by her ability to make complicated subjects easy to understand. I think she is an exceptional lawyer in the adoption and ART field."

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
