A great lawyer and talented advocate

Facing a professional licensing issue can be devastating  After consulting many attorneys about my situation, most of whom gave me inadequate or inappropriate advice, I decided to contact Ms. Packard.  Not only did she listen to my concerns with sensitivity, she analyzed my case from the perspective... of a lawyer who is at the forefront of her profession.  Ms. Packard possess impeccable judgment, and she turned out to be spot on about my case.  I could not ask for a better result, and I am extremely grateful that I found someone with the skills and experience to resolve my case with the best possible outcome.  I highly recommend Ms. Packard, and because of her, I look forward to continuing my professional career with confidence and consistency.

Attorney Packard Consistently Performed at the Highest Professional Level in my Employment Dispute

In November of 2008 I retained Tamara Packard to assist me in resolving a dispute with my former employer. From the initial meeting to the signing of the negotiated agreement two months later, Attorney Packard acted dilligently, professionally, and assertively on my behalf to bring about a settlemen...t I was more than pleased with. My former employer is a small (100 employees) privately-held company. It was reluctant to provide the information necessary to establish a fair settlement. Attorney Packard countered their attorney's every argument against releasing information with her superior knowledge of applicable labor laws. I completely trusted her advice during the negotiation of a severance package, and I have no doubt that she got me thousands and thousands of dollars more than I could have, on my own. I was kept fully informed every step of the way and at no time did I feel she was "running the bill". She patiently explained the legal concepts in our strategy and I felt she really was a powerful advocate for me. She handled every step of the process, from the initial contact to the negotiated payout and redemption of my stock in the company, in a thoroughly professional manner. Without hesitation I give my highest personal and professional recommendation to Attorney Tamara Packard.
