Sadiqa Banks

Ms. Banks did a fine job representing me in an employment law case against my former employer. Her firm was recommended to me by another attorney as being very knowledgeable about the employment laws in Georgia, and Ms. Banks exhibited great confidence - which gained my trust. She was diligent and fi...rm when communicating with my former employer and was able to settle my matter out of court in a fairly short amount of time. I would gladly use her firm again, if needed. **HIGHLY RECOMMENDED**

Not only have I had stellar legal representation from Ms. Banks, but I have also automatically recommended her to at least four other colleagues or family memebers for their empoyment needs. I personally know that Ms. Banks keeps her clients informed, assesses their matters with patience, charges f...ees according to the actual work that will be done and maintains an "up close and personal" relationship with all of her clients. Unfortunately, I know of the one client that has made a dishonest comment about Ms. Banks. What the client below failed to mention is that Ms. Banks was compelled to teminate the relationship with the client based on her own behavior. Prospective clients must remember that you cannot harass your attorney everyday with the same information. I personally know that Ms. Banks works hard on maintaining trust with her clients while providing strategic legal representation in their best interest. The client below should be careful about making such defamatory statements. I know that Ms. Banks and her firm was highly recommended to them by former clients who have had their employment issues resolved to their satisfaction. I am disheartened that a person referred to Ms. Banks can now attempt to defame her just because she has failed to probably recognize her own fault in Ms. Banks having to decide to sever the legal relationship. Ms. Banks has handled at least two employment legal matters for family members and both were highly satisfied with their experience with Ms. Banks. Any client claiming that Ms. Banks "took retainer fees and nothing was resolved" is dishonest at best. I personally know that Ms. Banks will speak with new clients without charging consultation fees, offer additional services without charge, will make herself accessible even on weekends and will educate you patiently about your legal process. I personally know that the client claiming that Ms. Banks "withdrew" found herself without representation because of her harassing nature. Because of Ms. Banks' client service skills, you will easily find that she will contact you first to keep you abreast of your case's status. I love AVVO because it highlights great attorneys, but it also allows for scorned clients to make dishonest and defaming statements. Ms. Banks is trustworthy, responsive, knowledgeable, patient and has stellar client service skills. What more do you need? I will continue to recommend Ms. Banks and her firm to my family and colleagues when needed. However the client that made the statement below me is not being honest...the relatinship was terminated due to the client's harassing behavior, which I new of before I recommended her to Ms. Banks. It speaks volumes when a person 'begs' the attorney to stay on their case based on the quick results achieved withint the first 30 days. Ms. Banks is highly recommended because she is honest, consistent, dedicated, disciplined, fair, accessible to her clients, and adjusts to the needs of her cilents as well. Excellent choice!

When we think of the word "authentic," we think of genuine, real, valid, and bona fide to name a few. In most all cases, these discriptions are not comparables for our experience with attorneys. The experience is often one of high costs; and the attorney relationship or "best interest" is not always... with the client - but those within the legal arena (i.e. defense counsel, judge, corporate, etc.). Only in the end, to feel that you (the client) has been stripped of everything while your attorney and the other side prevail. In my case, Ms. Banks was totally the opposite in every respect. Our attorney-client relationship was true and the communications between us throughout the entire case process was unrestricted; not impeded by the dollar sign. I can personally attest that my experience with Ms. Banks was as described in the first sentence above; and that her personality and the professional services she rendered were just as the title of my review reflects - truly "authentic" in every aspect of my case. Any retention of her professional legal services in any area of employment discrimination would be a definite benefit to the client seeking legal counsel.
