Best Employment Lawyer

Handled both my Federal Qui Tam and WFMLA cases successfully. Always responded to my questions even at night and on weekends, that is truely rare. Took the time to see how the cases affected my family situation and fought with passion. Always gave advice that was of benefit to me first. Really sav...ed me and have recommended him to several others. A real class act and a great role model.

Review of Alan C. Olson

Mr. Olson was very good and very understanding. I used him for my long term disability insurance that they were fighting. He always got back to me either through email or phone and I always understood what was going on, he kept me informed. I would definitely use him again if needed, and would rec...ommend him to anyone, and I could not say that about my first lawyer. He his absolutely top of his class!

Thank you, Alan. You made a difference on my behalf.

I spent a good amount of time looking for the right attorney to represent my best interest. Upon finding Attorney Olson I met with him for a consultation. He walked me through the process and how to best address my situation. After this consultation, I felt confident in his ability to represent me a...nd my situation. I hired him immediately. Attorney Olson helped me out in a difficult and complicated negotiation with my employer. He took great care to get the best outcome. I'm glad I found him.

New mom's benefits get taken away and majority of job responsiblities outsourced.

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.
