more than an attorney

Alan worked with me, despite the challenges I presented as a client. He sifted through mass amounts of data to distill that which was most important from a legal perspective. He staved off my impulsive instincts and handled my micromanaging with aplomb. He answered my questions intelligibly and pati...ently. Alan was also clear as to expectations and was a great communicator, which I valued given the stress of the situation. Though I imagine he was quite busy with all the employment issues wrought by the pandemic, Alan was easily accessible. He provided me not only with a great outcome (2.5 times more than my original offer!) but also a confidence in the process. I'd hire Alan and his firm again for any employment need.

Expert Advocate

All my life, I’ve had attorneys in my extended family to go to for legal advice, but none of them had special expertise in employment law. Then unexpectedly, I was faced with a difficult workplace situation. For the first time, I needed to find legal help outside the family and didn’t know where to... turn. I searched the internet for a legal specialist in employee rights. I was impressed by Atty. Alan Olson’s website, detailing his many years of distinguished legal experience, achievements and credentials. I found he had successful experience in handling cases like mine. From the first phone call, I found him calm, kind, reassuring and easy to talk to. Even though I was going through some of the most stressful, discouraging days of my life, he put my mind at ease, knowing I had an expert advocate on my side. Atty. Olson always made himself quickly available when I had concerns. He returned all my calls and emails right away and his staff was helpful and a pleasure to work with. As a skilled negotiator, Atty. Olson helped me get everything I wanted and much more than I expected. He provided expert, reliable legal advice that I could count on. On his end, he moved my case along quickly, covering every detail, as if I were the most important client he had. I can’t begin to imagine how I would have handled this situation on my own. Retaining Atty. Olson was money well-spent. I highly recommend Atty. Olson if you are an employee and are experiencing legal problems in the workplace. The attorneys in my family were so impressed with how he helped me that they will be referring more friends and clients to him in the future.

Excellent Service

I utilized Alan regarding a dispute with a former employer. From the initial consult all the way thru to settlement Attorney Olsen and the staff were professional, courteous and timely. The case proceeded almost exactly as described in the initial consultation and Attorney Olsen always described th...e potential and likely outcomes of my case. I was very pleased with his service and gladly recommend his firm.

Knowledgeable and Real

I initially consulted with Mr. Olson as a supportive witness for someone else’s wrongful termination complaint. I knew that what happened to the person that I was there to support was clearly wrong and felt strongly that she had a case. I knew I had also been wronged but it was not so clear to me th...at there could be a case without Mr. Olson sharing his expert knowledge and experience. He confidently guided me (the two of us) through the process. I feel that his advice and communication is down to earth and real. Ultimately, I am satisfied with the resolution of this case, the guidance of Mr. Olson and the help of his team. I would recommend consulting with Mr. Olson if you feel that you have been wronged and need a strong advocate in an employment dispute.

The expertise I needed

I was in a very difficult situation at work and needed someone with expertise in employment law. Attorney Olson clearly had the experience and know-how in the field to represent my interests well. He gave me excellent advice and did a great job of advocating for me. With his help, I was able to reach... a fair and just settlement with my employer. It was an unexpectedly good outcome so I'm very glad I hired him. He has my enthusiastic recommendation.
