I received assistance from Alan in reviewing a severance agreement. His review was prompt, thorough and insightful. He did a great job of giving me various perspectives on the agreement, and laid out options for consideration that I would not have thought were available to me without his counsel. ...He respected my understanding of the organization and what avenues would or would not be fruitful in dialog with them. I greatly appreciated his guidance and would recommend his services.

I was referred to Alan Olson by my doctor who has been practicing for decades and is no stranger to health-related employment conflicts. After my first meeting with Alan, I walked away feeling both relieved and confident that I had an ally in dealing with a very powerful employer. My problem was ...an unusual one, and it didn’t lend itself to a routine solution. Alan listened carefully to the many details of my situation, we talked about various options, and he assessed each for me. I understood the likelihood of which options might work and which were likely not to work, and why. Alan was very up-front about cost and how he saw events unfolding. He negotiated on my behalf and resolved my problem in a matter of weeks. I was very pleased with the outcome. In the aftermath, we had some details that required attention, and he was just as prompt, attentive, and responsive to my emails as he had always been. He saw my case through to the end with diligence and care. I would recommend Alan C. Olson without reservation.

Having been terminated from my position without cause, I consulted with Alan about possible recourse. It was a complicated case but I could tell that Alan was understanding the issues by the great questions that he was asking. He took thorough notes and in the end he gave me his opinion that we had... a case. After Alan's initial letter to my former employer, things began to happen immediately. The letters written by Alan were factual, to the point and clearly articulated our position and our requested remedy. Although my employer refused to deal with me, they definitely took notice when Alan began corresponding with them. I couldn't be more pleased with his professionalism and results!

My employer chose not to renew my contract last year. The contract stated I was entitled to a year's salary for "termination other than good cause." They tried to claim non-renewal did not constitute "termination," and claimed they owed no severance. But they made a "generous offer" of 40 cents on th...e dollar. I was referred to Alan Olson. He believed they were wrong, and we would prevail in court. But he warned it would be a long battle. He gave sage advice suggesting I concentrate on my job search and let him worry about the legal matters, The case went to arbitration, with a hearing in May, just about a year to the day after the bank notified me of the non-renewal. The arbitrator ruled in our favor on June 30. I received a year's salary plus legal fees. Alan Olson was correct on every issue raised, and was always responsive to my needs and inquiries. I would recommend him highly to anyone with an unethical employer intent on cheating and deception.

He is a very comforting attorney in time of crisis, his staff is also great, He always got back to me by phone or email. He listened to what I wanted to be done and made me feel like I was a very important client. I would recommend him to anyone needing a employment, sexual harrasment case or any o...ther areas of law that he practices.
