Impressive employment attorney

Working with Mike Fortney was a very positive experience. He was creative and aggressive in developing and successfully executing a legal strategy to encourage the other party to settle a very complex 2023 employment contract dispute. His negotiating skills were impressive. His communication was time...ly, and he took the time to succinctly explain each maneuver. His billing was quite fair…worth every penny. I highly recommend Fortney Law Group.

Great Experience

Mr. Fortney handled a breach of contract case for me. He grasped the main issues of the case quickly, and was able to reach a settlement in my company's favor without spending too much time on the case.
