Summer Hart Murshid

Summer was extremely articulate and knowledgeable regarding employment legalalities. She took the time to throughly read through my Severance agreement advising professional comments. Summer was friendly and made me feel welcome even though I had been just laid off from my employer. She even took ...the time during the time I was in the hospital, to check in, ensuring I was okay. I would highly recommend her to friends and family.

My case was tough. I was hurting emotionally and was physically ill over it. I had never known this kind of chess game and I needed someone who could get the job done for me. And, admittedly, I was finding it hard to let go and Summer had to use some tough love with me. She did so in a way that was b...oth professional and compassionate. She made sure that my rights and interests were being upheld as much as she could under the law, she constantly kept me informed by phone and via email, and as the situation became more fluid she offered options. Even if nothing was happening with my case, Summer still checked in with me. From the very first meeting, I knew I was in the right place with her. She even reassured me that she had dealt with people in my situation before, that I was not alone and that helped me a lot. It's hard when you feel like one person against a corporation, but Summer Murshid was my champion. I can't say enough about that.

Summer was exactly the representative I needed in a discrimination dispute I had with an employer. During my initial consultation she was compassionate and easily grasped the issues at play in the dispute. She laid out several options including additional negotiating before getting her involved. ... She believed in the case but obviously was not just in it for the money. When I chose to retain her services we again discussed possible outcomes and options. Ultimately I decided to pursue an out-of-court course of action. She became my advocate, efficiently communicating my desires, my employer's offers and my counter-offers, finally producing a generous severance as well as preserving my right to go to work for a competitor. My work environment had become impossibly strained, and I greatly sppreciated the prompt settlement. Every email and voicemail was answered within an hour...often she left messages for me, not the other way around. She made a very uncomfortable work environment something I was able to walk away from. I know that's her job, but not once did it seem that she was just ' doing her job'. I never felt 'processed'; I felt like a person. I would strongly recommend Summer to anyone with a legitimate employment dispute. She believes in doing the right thing.
