Temple is the voice for the people that feels unheard.

I had an issue with a company and decided it's time to take a stand against what I believed was injustice. I reached out to Temple and explained my concerns and expressed to her that this has to stop. Without hesitation she reviewed my documents and accepted my case. I am very satisfied with the outc...ome. Temple's knowledge of the laws and professionalism is unmatched. I would recommend her to everyone that feels they don't have a voice, when it comes to being mistreated. Temple can and will walk with you step by step. You will never feel alone. Temple is unafraid to challenge any company when you gather your facts to support your claim. I salute her.

OUTSTANDING ATTORNEY

OUTSTANDING ATTORNEY!!!! Words could never explain her output. She is very dedicated to her clients, she cares about her clients. Ms. Trueblood treated my case as if it was her own. She knows the laws as if she wrote them. Ms. Trueblood is a delight to work with, yet she is a "breast" and I would ...not want to go against her. I thank God everyday for blessing me with an awesome legal mentor, Ms. Trueblood.

Absolutely the very best!

I would highly recommend Temple Trueblood to anyone needing legal services with regards to employment law and discrimination! I found myself needing legal representation, and having never hired an attorney before, I was very unfamiliar with the process. Thankfully, someone recommended Temple Truebl...ood. I have never been sorry! Temple was always professional, kind and caring, but most of all very intellectual and knowledgeable. It was apparent right away that she was definitely one of the best in her field. I felt like she was always genuinely concerned about me and my case, and was always just a phone call away. She was able to answer any question I had, and her staff was just as kind and caring as she was. She was aggressive when she needed to be, and was never intimidated by others. I was always thankful she was on my side. I would highly recommend Temple! She is definitely superb, and one of the very best!!!

Excellent Lawyer

Temple was fabulous and able to guide me through the process so that I was able to stand up for what was right. She was very caring and put everything out there in a way that I could understand.

Thankful I was put in contact with Temple Trueblood

Temple made me feel like it was ok to stand up for myself. She listened and seemed genuinely concerned with my personal feelings. I was upset and embarrassed by what I was going through and had a hard time getting through my deposition without crying uncontrollably. Temple stopped me and told me I... shouldn't be embarrassed, I should be proud because it takes courage to stand up for yourself and that I had done nothing wrong. She said the majority of women that go through this kind of thing are too afraid or embarrassed to speak up. I was sexually harassed and wrongfully terminated. For me this case wasn't about money, it was the principle. I needed the people responsible to be exposed and take responsibility for their actions. Through out the entire process she kept me informed and made sure I was comfortable with what was happening. This was my first time using an attorney but I couldn't of asked for a better one. Not to mention the other attorney was obviously intimidated by Temple during the depositions. We didn't end up going to court but I feel certain Temple would of been ruthless in court. I am very thankful that I was put in contact with Temple Trueblood and would highly recommend her.

"I am pleased to endorse Temple Trueblood. I may be the only lawyer who has worked with Temple as co-counsel and against her as opposing counsel. In both matters Temple was the consummate professional. She is a zealous representative of her client but fair and collegial with the other lawyers. Her critical thinking, analytical ability, work ethic, and understanding of the law would well serve anyone with an employment problem. I encourage anyone with such a problem to contact Temple and am pleased to give her an unqualified recommendation."

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I endorse this lawyer. I have co-counseled with Ms Trueblood many times and am very familiar with her skills, her tenacity, and her relationship with clients. She is a dogged litigator and has a keen insight into the facts and available law on the case. She possesses thorough familiarity with the procedure of the courts in which she practices. She is supported by highly qualified staff and paralegal back-up, as well the financial resources to see any case through. She prepares exhaustively for discovery, especially depositions, and explores all avenues to ferret out the critical information. She defends her clients in depo and trial and aggressively yet ethically pursues opponent witnesses throughout. Her trial skills are organized and effective. She is tireless. She has certainly surpassed my skill level despite her much younger age. I would recommend her to any client."
