Excellent Employment Attorney

Attorney Elizabeth Coke helped me when I needed it most. After she provided me with legal advice about my current employment situation and outlined how my case would move forward, I knew I was in good hands. I would highly recommend Ms. Coke for anyone who values an intelligent approach to finding a ...resolution. Ms. Coke's knowledge of employment issues and her dedication to her clients is evident through how she practices law.

Excellent, knowledgeable and personable attorney

I have known Beth for a long time and never thought that I would have to consult a labor attorney. When I was riffed from a company that I was employed by for over 20 years, I consulted Beth concerning the separation package offering. Beth’s advice helped me to negotiate a better deal with my former... employer and when I found new employment in a similar field, Beth came through with advice and suggestions concerning a non-compete agreement the new employer required me to sign before hiring. She knows her stuff and made every effort to answer my questions in layman’s terms. She is easy to work with and does everything she can to help. I would recommend Beth Coke to any of my family or friends and would recommend her to you also.

Amazing Attorney

I have had the pleasure of working with Beth Coke for over twenty years as Assistant Superintendent in our school district. I hired Beth for labor and employment law issues for a district with over 5,000 employees. Beth has a keen understanding of labor and employment law and she has the commitment... and diligence to see issues to their conclusion. Services provided by Beth during our 20 year service agreement included fact finding, representation at DOAH Hearings, representation in law suits and consultations with union issues to name just a few. I also hired Beth to represent the Superintendent in labor law issues as well as providing legal advice to Board members. Beth has the personality to work with all types of people concerning a myriad of issues but make no mistake; she knows her stuff and she will impress you with her work !

Amazing Labor Attorney

Beth is by far the best labor attorney that I have had the pleasure of working with. She not only handled my issue but made herself available by phone, email and in person during the entire process. I would HIGHLY recommend her if you need someone who will stick by you through the entire process.
