    Review Barbara Quindel

    Professional, Experienced & Compassionate

    Posted by

    Ms Quindel dealt with my FMLA claim complaint against the City of Milwaukee. She has the expertise and experience with work/employment laws and has had many cases against the City of Milwaukee. She is honest, friendly and caring. Often times, she was the only one who understood the frustration of being chronically ill, but being denied the use of FMLA. She responded with compassion and knowledge about what options were available. I am certain if I had not chosen her as my attorney, I would still be looking for work and not have been able to wipe my employment slate clean for my future career choices. I will continue to recommend Ms. Quindel and her firm, Hawks & Quindel to anyone with employment issues, especially with the City of Milwaukee.
