Excellent employment lawyer

Atty. Olson was a huge help to me in resolving a very stressful situation with my employer. His composure and quick responses were very comforting during the legal process. Atty. Olson negotiated well on my behalf, and I was able to get a much higher settlement than my employer was willing to offer.... I would recommend Atty. Olson to anyone who is looking for expertise in employment law. I also think it is very important that Atty. Olson works on behalf of employees, not employers.

Alan came through.

Alan and his team came through for me. Had a difficult employment discrimination case with a large airline. Outlook wasn't good but Alan put me at ease with assurances that it wasn't over until it's over. He pulled it off with his expertise and professionalism. He landed a decent settlement for me. C...ouldn't be more happy and pleased. Alan and his team were always upfront and very frank of what we were up against and the possible outcomes. I appreciated his frankness and he and his team prepared me what to expect. Thanks Alan!

FMLA Complaint- A Success Story

My job was eliminated while I was under FMLA protection. At my husband's urging, I sought the advice of Atty Alan Olson. After a brief telephone session, it was determined I did indeed have a case against my former employer. We scheduled a meeting. Since this was my first experience in the lega...l system, I was admittedly quite nervous. That feeling went away soon upon arrival, as I was warmly welcomed by Maggie, the receptionist. I was taken to a large, comfortably appointed room and offered a beverage while I waited. Atty Olson was timely and professional. Not knowing what to expect, I relaxed when I found he had a comforting, assuring demeanor-and was not intimidating. He was kind and patient, answering all of my questions (some of which were probably silly). He was honest when explaining likely outcomes of cases such as mine -favorable and not. He made sure I understood the legal process and actions taken involving my case, I felt assured and confident throughout. Alan Olson is very knowledgeable of labor law and employee rights. When I needed to contact him, he was quick to respond by email, even on the weekend! If Alan was not available, an associate would call within a short time. I am very happy with how my case was handled and satisfied with the settlement. He and his staff were all responsive, professional and pleasant. I would not hesitate to recommend Atty Alan Olson to anyone!

Atty. Alan C. Olson

Atty. Alan C. Olson was fabulous to work with in my recent unemployment case. He offered very constructive and genuine feedback and was a great guide in emphasizing the important facts of my case. I was also surprised, but very impressed that he made me feel at ease when he placed a call to me the ...morning of my hearing. He said he wanted to make sure I was awake, in good spirits and was well rested as I made my way to the courthouse. Most importantly, he reminded me of the things we talked about and informed me of situations that I might encounter. Overall, he was great to work with and I was very confident that I was in the hands of a very talented attorney. Thanks for Everything, Angela
