Jill Schwartz & Associates

I want to thank Jill Schwartz, John Hunt and their staff for representing me. They were extremely professional and treated me like family. Jill was very detailed in explaining my options, addressing my concerns and choosing the proper coarse of action. Jill and John accomplished all that the...y said they would and always kept me updated of the progress of the case. Jill Schwartz is the only law firm I would ever consider using. I highly recommend Jill Schwartz and her associates for any employment and labor issues. They are the best and I am eternally grateful.

Posted by Mike | March 15, 2018 | Hired Attorney | Employment & Labor

Highly recommended

Jill S. Schwartz was referred to me by a close colleague after she witnessed the unethical treatment towards me by my former employer. During initial meetings with her and her associates she was very empathetic and quickly acknowledged I had a good case and started devising our legal position and str...ategy. Throughout the process Jill and her associates kept me up to date on the status of the case and was very responsive and thorough. As with most legal issues it took quite a long time to resolve but I never had to call Jill for updates, her firm was very proactive in keeping up abreast of any changes and/or what the next course of action planned. She did an outstanding job negotiating with the lawyers representing my former company and secured a fair settlement that I would NOT have been able to receive without her representation and advice. Jill is straight forward and I strongly recommend her.

Great advocate

Jill Schwartz and her team worked tirelessly on my behalf, the best I could ask for! Thanks for your support through a difficult time.

Posted by anonymous | January 25, 2018 | Hired Attorney | Lawsuits & Disputes

Best in practice!!!

Jill Schwartz and her team are extremely professional and compassionate. Her attorneys and staff professionals walked me through the process, coaching and reassuring me every step of the way. I knew Jill was the right attorney for me the moment I met her, and I appreciated her keeping me in the... loop about filed papers and every little step that needed to be handled to move our case forward to a successful outcome. I am forever grateful and highly recommend her firm.

I was fortunate to have been given a referral to Jill's Practice and Jeffrey Hammer was the attorney handling the case with Jill being actively involved. From the onset, they took the time to listen to the case and strategized various approaches. They are extremely competent with Labor Laws and had ...my best interests in mind and there was very little for me to do as they took charge of the case. All the staff in the office is very personable and professional. I am very pleased with the outcome and will definitely seek their guidance again without any hesitation on employment related issues. If you are like me and like to research several lawyers in the area, don't waste your time as Jill and her Team are amongst the top lawyers in the Orlando area. Thank you Jill, Jeff and Team for your support with the case and look forward to working with you again.

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
