Endorsing Mr. Greg Fidlon for Age Discriminations Complaints

I was turned down by 5 law firms untill i talked to Mr. Fidlon.I contacted Mr. Fidlon from California.Mr. Fidlon took the case with no promises and kept me informed every step via email and phone calls.Within a very short time and in a very professional manner,Greg presented a strong legal cas...e that made my former employer raised a white flag and settle my case to my complete satisfaction.Greg knows his stuff, he is what i call a very friendly legal pit bull,

Focused Effort

The main issue in this case concerned unpaid overime wages. Greg was obviously well-informed on the laws and applicable regulations involved He accurately interpreted the facts presented and realistically predicted the opposing parties likely settlement offer. I was particularly impressed with h...is ability to gather and analyze the highly detailed data concerning the dates, hours worked, parties involved, etc. from the Excel spreadsheets and Word documents I provided. His computer savvy greatly reduced the billable time required to prepare for the negotiations with my former employer.

Fantastic experience: can not imagine how it could have gone better!

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
