Review of Alan Olson

Mr. Olson was professional, compassionate and supportive. He told me what to expect at my hearing and was very re-assuring. He addressed all of my concerns immediately and made sure I understood the unemployment hearing process. He returned my calls and responded to my emails promptly. I would highly... recommend him.

Highly Recommended, very successful and professional

I hired Attorney Olson due to racial discrimination and constructive discharge at work. He is very professional and knowledgeable. He negotiated with my employer and reached a settlement within a very short period of time. I was very satisfeid and highly recommend Attorney Olson.

Professional and caring

Mr. Olson clarified all issues in my case and kept me well informed. Any misinformation I had was quickly and accurately explained without talking down to me. Because employment situations can be emotional I was, at times, overwhelmed but Mr. Olson kept me calm and I was able to make good decisions ...with confidence. Mr. Olson and his staff led me through a difficult situation and I would not hesitate in recommending him to others.

Focused, Experienced, Balanced, Compassionate.

Attorney Olson provided a mix of experience, know how and compassion in coaching me during a very difficult time. He is fair minded and cares about the outcome of his clients. I highly recommend him to assist you in your employment law issue.

Phenomenal, effective and strategic representation

My employer engaged unethical tactics and unfounded accusations in anticipation of a politically motivated layoff to encourage me to leave the company voluntarily. By leaving voluntarily, I would have forfeited earned commissions and the employer would have avoided a severance payout. Alan took... the time to listen to the entire situation and put together an all-encompassing strategy, laying the groundwork so we could file suit and recover what was rightfully owed to me if a lawsuit became necessary. However, his opening letter to my employer and subsequent negotiations with them were so effective that he was able to recover everything I was owed without filing a lawsuit. Additionally, he persuaded my employer to refund all of my attorney fees as part of the severance settlement. I hope this is a once-in-a-lifetime situation, but if I ever needed an employment attorney again, I would not choose anyone else. In my profession, I frequently negotiate with attorneys, so I have a strong basis for evaluating Alan’s performance. If you need an employment attorney, you need Alan.
