Greg Fidlon

A disgruntled former employee of my company filed a complaint with the U.S. Department of Labor alleging unpaid wages. Not only was the former employee paid appropriately, but he had actually embezzled tens of thousands of dollars from the company. Against this backdrop, wherein the stakes were cle...arly high, and wherein we were allotted 14 days to respond, I went shopping for an attorney. I interviewed several lawyers whose sole agenda, it turned out, was to discuss money, rather than the facts of the case and if they could actually help us. This was the extent of their so-called ‘free consultation.’ When I got to Greg Fidlon, however, he was genuinely engaged, asked great questions and gave me his assessment of the way ahead. After which, fees were discussed, based on what would actually be required of him. (What a novel concept!) Thereafter, I went to his office with my paperwork. He never made me feel like I was just a dollar bill. He never looked at his watch or tried to rush me along. The typical attorney tact. He was genuine and thoughtful. We devised our strategy as a team. He consulted with me throughout the ordeal. He ALWAYS got back to me the same day, even on the weekends, when such was completely unexpected. And, ultimately, the Department of Labor found no merit in the former employee’s claim, based on our representation of the facts and Greg Fidlon’s strategy for presenting same. As an MBA, I have had to contend with innumerable attorneys since 1986. This is the first, and so far the only time I’ve actually ‘enjoyed’ it. I would highly recommend Greg for any employment-related matter. My only regret is that he doesn’t practice all fields of law!

Greg Fidlon was recommended to me by a legal service team that I am a member of to help facilitate a discriminatory termination dispute with a former employer. At the time, I was searching for a legal representative that would not only represent my best interests but would also provide guidance as it... relates to my overall legal rights. I also needed help in determining what would be the appropriate path to proceed with given my particular circumstance. Needless to say that when I had my first meeting with Greg, I was very pleased with the approach that he took to work on my case. His level of knowledge within his field was impressive as was his commitment to achieve the best resolution for my case on my behalf. Throughout the process, the level of communication with Greg was regular and timely and I never felt rushed or pressured into making any decisions that I did not feel was right for me or that would go against my own personal beliefs. Greg helped to negotiate the terms of my settlement package, to include medical coverage as well as additional compensation for me and my family at an increased value than what my previous employer first offered. The overall process took a few months. Given the different paths that the process could have taken, I was very pleased that we were able to reach a settlement in such a short period of time. Out of pocket fees were within industry standard and were well worth the outcome. I definitely feel that I faired far better than if I had not had Greg representing me. I would definitely retain his services again in the future and would recommend him to family and friends.

Greg Fidlon was recommended to me by the Georgia bar to help facilitate a separation agreement with a former employer. Although I have never needed to seek the support of professional counsel in the past, as I indicated in the title of this review above, I was very impressed with the diligence, subj...ect-matter expertise, candor and overall professionalism displayed by Greg Fidlon as my attorney and thus would be hard-pressed to imagine a better experience. In short, he displayed a level of integrity that all of his colleagues, within his profession, should aspire to. The primary thrust of me seeking counsel was to ensure that the initial separation agreement offered by my employer was in my best interest given the particulars surrounding my resignation. At the onset of my interaction with Greg, I shared with him that I was not interested in filing suit of any sort against my former employer but rather just wanted to be certain that the terms offered in the separation agreement adequately protected me and my family. Greg listened very well and never attempted to push any sort of pre-conceived agenda nor did he try to strong-arm me into filing any suit. Rather he objectively listened to the details surrounding my situation and provided some suggestions that we should make to the separation agreement to protect my interests. From that point onward, Greg dealt on my behalf directly with the attorneys from my former employer: which allowed me to focus on other priorities - throughout the negotiation process. Greg provided updates on a regular basis as warranted: I always felt that I was keenly in the loop. Ultimately, Greg was able to negotiate all of the terms that we wanted in the separation agreement that protected both me and my family. Moreover, Greg was also able to negotiate additional financial compensation and additional medical coverage both of which were beyond my expectations. Greg also handled the process in a very expeditious timeframe. The entire process was completed in a matter of weeks. In terms of costs for his services, Greg was very up-front with the estimate, and how the billing process works. If anything, the number of billing hours and the cost to me were lower than what I had expected. In summary, I would strongly recommend the services of Greg Fidlon and will not hesitate to use him again in the future if the circumstances present themselves. Furthermore, I would also seek out his advice on other attorneys that he might recommend if the particular legal needs were not conducive to his areas of expertise. Regards, Stephen

ATTORNEY GREG FIDLON WAS SURPRISINGLY ATTENTIVE DURING THE INITIAL CONSULTATION. SO MUCH SO THAT ON THE DAY OF MEDIATION, HE SURPRISED ME WITH AN EXACT RECALL OF EVERYTHING I SAID. I DIDN'T THINK HE HAD WRITTEN OR REMEMBERED ALL I SAID. HE USED IT ALL DURING HIS OPENING STATEMENT, AND THAT ALONE I... BELIEVE WON THE CASE. I WAS THEN AND STILL AM VERY THANKFUL TO HAVE HIM AS MY LAWYER. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND HIM.
