Excellent Lawyer - Look no further

I would like to take this opportunity to thank Attorney Olson for representing me for an employment related case. I was employed by a large medical center in greater Milwaukee area. Mr. Olson was extremely professional in helping me with my case. I, unfortunately, experienced unusual circumstance...s in past 3 years and had to work with at least 4 other lawyers for various unrelated cases (not related to employment). From my experience with all these lawyers, I can attest that Attorney Olson is an exceptional lawyer and very patient and is a credit to his profession. I wish there were more lawyers like Attorney Olson. I truly believe he worked beyond the compensation he received. Although I was expecting a different outcome, I am very satisfied with his work and his professionalism. I know Mr. Olson did his best to help me. I highly recommend him for his services. I advise you not to look further and I recommend that you contact Mr. Olson for legal advice first. He will have your best interests in mind. Lawyers are like doctors. Not all doctors are good doctors, the same applies to lawyers. Alan Olson is a great lawyer, very knowledgeable but most importantly he will have your best interests in mind.

Unfair Forced Retirement

After 41 years with my company, I was forced to retire several years sooner than I had planned without an adequate severance plan. There were questions of age discrimination and all around unfair treatment to an employee as loyal and respected in the business community as I was. Researching employme...nt attorneys lead me to Alan Olson. Attorney Olson accepted my case and for a year we worked together to obtain the largest settlement we could, one which was much better than previously offered by my former company. Attorney Olson always kept me in the loop explaining strategies and options. I thank Alan Olson for helping put this chapter behind me in a positive light. I strongly recommend Alan Olson for legal issues relating to employment.

So glad I went to attorney Olson!

Attorney Olson got me the settlement he told me he would get after I was terminated from my job illegally. It took a little longer than he thought however he didn't let the other side intimidate him into settling. He knew that I was terrified of going to court so he prevented that from happening ...while still getting the settlement we wanted.

Al Olsen went against some of the biggest guns in the country and didnt blink, Hire this guy if you want to win!!!

I hired Alan Olson to fight one of the biggest defense contractors in the world. Yes, they played their games and Al was there at every curveball to smack it right back at them. At one point the attorney for the defense contractor even made the statement that their legal firm was so big that Alan O...lson's firm would be buried by them. It did not work out that way and Al had them multiplying their settlement offer many times over. I was completely delighted in the service and legal assistance I received from Al; he was dialed into the facts that would make the Big Defense Contractors law firm change their position and ultimately settle the case. If you want an attorney who will stick with you until the end and is committed to his client, Al is the right choice. When an attorney goes head-to-head with one of the largest defense contractors in the world and is able to protect the case from being dismissed and then forces the opposing party to the settlement table, and then they multiply their settlement offer many times over, I knew I made the right decision in hiring Al’s firm. I would STRONGLY recommend him to anyone who needs an employment attorney. Al does fight for the little guy and he wins!!!!!
