I received assistance from Alan in reviewing a severance agreement. His review was prompt, thorough and insightful. He did a great job of giving me various perspectives on the agreement, and laid out options for consideration that I would not have thought were available to me without his counsel. ...He respected my understanding of the organization and what avenues would or would not be fruitful in dialog with them. I greatly appreciated his guidance and would recommend his services.

My employer chose not to renew my contract last year. The contract stated I was entitled to a year's salary for "termination other than good cause." They tried to claim non-renewal did not constitute "termination," and claimed they owed no severance. But they made a "generous offer" of 40 cents on th...e dollar. I was referred to Alan Olson. He believed they were wrong, and we would prevail in court. But he warned it would be a long battle. He gave sage advice suggesting I concentrate on my job search and let him worry about the legal matters, The case went to arbitration, with a hearing in May, just about a year to the day after the bank notified me of the non-renewal. The arbitrator ruled in our favor on June 30. I received a year's salary plus legal fees. Alan Olson was correct on every issue raised, and was always responsive to my needs and inquiries. I would recommend him highly to anyone with an unethical employer intent on cheating and deception.

Mr. Olson was extremely professional & knowledgeable. I received timely responses to all of my questions. Mr. Olson explained the legal process of my claim thoroughly, allowing me to make informative choices on how to proceed with each step. I would highly recommend Mr. Olson for any employment ca...se & would use him in the future if the need arises.

I found Alan Olson to be very professional and knowledgeable. He encouraged me to stay at my job part time (my new reduced hours), while in the midst of the lawsuit and would check up on me regularly to see how I was doing/handling this stressful situation. As difficult as staying at my job was, it p...roved to be beneficial to my case, as my boss began to show his true colors. In moments that I had doubt, Alan had strength and commitment to see this lawsuit through. He brought back confidence in me and the case and in the end - we won. Alan's attack approach is very swift and to the point; when you'd least expect it! Especially since Alan seems to be very calm and laid-back. Even after the case came to a settlement agreement, my former employer attempted to take away my unemploment benefits...I told Alan about what was going on and within 24 hours (literally) I was paid my back-pay UI immediately.
