True Greatness!!

I am incredibly fortunate and grateful that I had Alan Olson as my attorney. He handled my wrongful termination case amazingly, and won me more than I could have ever imagined. But that was just the icing on the cake. Anyone who has gone through a wrongful termination understands the tremendous st...ress and distrust you go through, not to mention feeling like David versus Goliath (when up against a large company). The manner in which Alan handled my case and proving himself as my advocate, from start to finish, reduced my stress level tremendously and reassured me that I was in “great” hands! He is highly knowledgeable and experienced in employment law, and has a unique style that is smooth, strong, brilliant, captivating, and even entertaining. I also wish to mention that he added a gesture above and beyond what he had already done for me that was entirely unexpected and further proved his truly fighting for you. I HIGHLY recommend Alan as an employment attorney! He is true greatness!! Alan - THANK YOU again for everything!

Glad I made the call to this Attorney

Atty Olson provided the necessary information upon consultation that allowed me to make an educated decision on how to proceed with my situation of sexual harassment and retaliation by my employer. After retaining Atty Olson, he did what he said he would do, both in terms of filing appropriate docume...nts with the correct departments and with my employer, and keeping me informed and included with the process. Atty Olson made me aware of circumstances about the proceedings, along with his suggestions for how to handle different aspects and what to ask for, but always allowed me to make the determinations regarding what the final decisions were. Ultimately, a settlement was reached that I was more than satisfied with, thanks to the work of Atty Olson. I would not hesitate to recommend Alan Olson, and if the need ever occurs for me again, this would be the only Atty I will call.

Alan Olson

Someone recommended Attorney Olson to me after I met with another lawyer, who seemed out of his depth in terms of employment law. Mr. Olson understood my position as soon as I opened my mouth. He was quick in helping me see my options. He also read my severance agreement and quickly figured out what ...I needed to do to ensure that it was fair. He gave me several solid suggestions on what parts of the agreement to negotiate. Mind you, the lawyer I saw prior to seeing Mr. Olson had told me that I didn’t have much of a case since I was as an at-will employee. That other lawyer also told me that my severance pay was actually quite generous and that I should just take it. But, Mr. Olson figured out, much like I suspected, that even though I was an at-will employee, I had a real basis for potentially bringing forward a suit. I am very grateful that I consulted Mr. Olson. I am also appreciative of his expertise and professional handling of my situation. He gave me the leverage I needed for negotiating a suitable settlement with my former employer. I am not one for writing reviews, but I had to write this one, so that any other person in the same position knows that having an at-will contract does not necessarily mean that the employer wins. You just need to see an experienced lawyer such as Mr. Olson.

CEASE AND DESIST THREATENING LETTER

I am a Sales Associate who after leaving her previous company was "reminded" in a threatening letter of my obligations as listed in the employee handbook. Additionally I had copied a few files for my client's use. Atty. Olson asked numerous questions to qualify the situation and obtain my stance. ...He then began working with opposing counsel to reach a settlement letter. During the process he pointed out things that he felt could weaken my stance with another judge (who would be unfamiliar with my case) should any future situations arise. Atty. Olson was timely and always gracious to provide updates, even when I was merely being impatient. As I am unfamiliar with the law, he explained everything and had a very calming effect, reassuring me of the things which were very common practices and nothing to be alarmed about. I hope I don't ever need an Atty. anytime soon, but if I did I would definitely go back to Atty. Olson.
