George Kieh's Review of Greg Fidlon

I hired the services of Greg Fidlon for a discrimination case that I was planning to file against my employer. However, the case was settled, thereby making it unnecessary to pursue the lawsuit. Clearly, the outcome was due to Greg's outstanding work as my attorney. Specifically, in his work on my ca...se, Greg demonstrated knowledge of employment law; he consulted me at every stage and greatly valued by views; he was courteous and respectful, as well as very prompt in responding to my queries. Above all, Greg demonstrated that he is a caring human being , and not simply a law. Based on my experience, I would highlyrecommend Greg.

Endorsing Greg Fidlon

Although there are no guarantees when it comes to employment related cases, you can count on Greg doing an excellent job for you. While a lot of law firms look for slam dunk cases, Greg was willing to go up against my former employer which is a very large company with its own defense lawyers. My f...ormer employer had gone to the distance fabricating a case against me; however, Greg took my case because he took the time to not only study the case but I believe he also respected my honesty and integrity. In other words, although extremely logical, I believe Greg also appreciates the human aspects of the case. Through his excellent interview and listening skills, he also made good use of the facts and documents that I had collected against my former employer relative to my case. These, coupled with his excellent knowledge of the employment law, we were able to settle the case rather quickly. Greg is the ultimate professional and one that I would recommend to anyone that may be in need of an excellent attorney.

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.

Exceptional Employment Attorney!

Greg has been wonderful! He has remained extremely professional and upheld a high level of integrity during my case. I was referred to Greg by Pre-paid legal and I have been completely satisfied with his level of professionalism. Greg and his business partner Nancy, have been both informative and rel...iable. I could not imagine going through my EEOC mediation without him and the results have far surpassed my expectations. I highly recommend Greg and Nancy; I will definitely pass Greg's contact information on to my closest business colleagues."
