Awful

Temple Trueblood should not be practicing employment law. She is rude and condescending. Other reviews must be fake! Please note that she overcharges her clients... google her name and you ll see...

Replied last October 13, 2020

I truly hope that no actual client or potential client of mine would ever feel this way after interacting with me. My goals are to help people to pursue their legal rights under the existing laws, as well as to provide a thorough and down-to-earth assessment of whether or not a potential client may or may not have remedies available under those laws. As 90% of my services are provided on a purely contingent basis the vast majority of my clients are not charged an hourly rate for my services, nor do I charge for initial consultations.

Excellent attorney who is committed to her clients

Ms. True blood expertly navigated every aspect of my complicated case winning in a jury trial. She knew the facts of my case and the law like the back of her hand. She fought for me every step of the way as though it was her own personal battle. She is very pleasant to work with, but I would not w...ant to go up against her!

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!!!

"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."
