Professional, Experienced & Compassionate

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.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
