Posted by anonymous | October 02, 2015 | Hired Attorney | Employment & Labor

Excellent attorney who knows employment law inside out!

Mr. Keegan was extremely helpful when I retained him for a matter with my former employer. Mr. Keegan was forthcoming, and provided excellent advice and assistance on how to navigate this. Because of his efforts, I was able to receive a severance from my former employer, and was able to ensure that t...hey could not adversely impact future employment endeavors. After moving on to a new role with another company, Mr. Keegan even followed up with me to see how I was doing, and to see if I was enjoying my new role. He was extremely personable, which made my unpleasant experience with my former employer more tolerable. I am very happy with the outcome, and would recommend his services to anyone in need of an employment attorney!

Extremely Satisfied

Marcus was very knowledgeable of the laws in place. He was able to read the opposition, which led us to receiving a victorious settlement. At first, I was nervous because the company is one of the largest in the world. He never waivered. He stuck with the law and the facts of my case. We Won!! I high...ly recommend Marcus Keegan!

Caring & Honest

As the title states, Marcus is an extremely caring and dedicated attorney who puts the needs and best interests of his clients first, while not hesitating to be honest about the possible results. He was highly professional, accessible, and flexible with regard to scheduling (or rescheduling) teleconf...erences and in-person meetings. Most importantly, Marcus was able to break down legal jargon into laymen's terms, allowing me to better understand my options and potential outcomes. Furthermore, when I was in need of an attorney to assist a family member with a type of law that Marcus does not practice, he provided great referrals for colleagues that he felt would offer the same professionalism and concern for my family's case. Essentially, Marcus is an attorney who truly cares about the well-being and overall satisfaction of his clients, and through his warm personality and integrity you feel that he will not lead you astray and is providing the best legal advise to help resolve the matter thus restoring your peace of mind during what is likely a very difficult time for you and your loved ones.

Employment

Although there are no guarantees when it comes to employment related cases, Mr. Keegan will provide services that will make you feel as if you are a human being and nothing less. My former employer had gone to the distance fabricating a case against me; however, Marcus, took my case because he took... the time to not only study the case but I believe he also respected my honesty. In other words, I believe Mr. Keegan will do well in years to come for the people, firm will do very well continuing to appreciate 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,. Although, we were unable to move forward with my case. Marcus will provide the ultimate professional services and I would recommend to anyone that may be in need of an excellent attorney.
