Not what I wanted to hear, but fair
I wanted to hear something different, that I had recourse to sue my employer for a certain reason, but Jodka very fairly and concisely pointed out that I wouldn't have a case. Thank you for saving me time, effort and money.

Awesome
Attorney Judka answered my questions quickly. She clarified things for me in a way that allowed me to understand them immediately. Because of her I am able to make a decision based on facts instead of "what ifs". I'm grateful she was the one to answer my questions.
