Posted by Mark | September 27, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Wrongful Termination

Highly Recommended

In 2014, my wife was notified by company management that her position within that company was going to be phased out. This was after she had completed almost three decades of dedicated professional service. The severance package and motive for termination made no sense to us so we decided to seek leg...al advice. I was retired from Twenty Eight years of employment within the Criminal Justice System and knew many attorneys but not the attorney best suited for this type of civil litigation. I made three separate inquiries, independent of each other about a lawyer or firm that we should seek out to best resolve this issue. They were a 1. RETIRED CIRCUIT COURT JUDGE 2. RETIRED ASSITANT DISTRICT ATTORNEY 3. PRACTICING ATTORNEY OF A NOTABLE LAW FIRM. All three of these individuals without hesitation stated Mike Fox. (MICHAEL R. FOX, FOX & FOX, S.C.) Our first meeting with Mike involved a detailed work history and any circumstances that may have led up to her termination at her place of employment. Mr. Fox detailed the possible remedies that we could seek and also what he believed to be both the merits and the negative possibilities involved in litigating this case to its conclusion. We were advised by Mr. Fox at the inception of this case that it may not be resolved for several years. During this entire period of time, Mr. Fox kept us updated regarding the status and progress of the proceedings minimizing the negative emotional impact the termination and the case itself would have on our lives. He could make us laugh when we were down or felt the legal system was tedious and unresponsive. We learned to trust Mr. Fox and his legal skills completely and our trust was well placed. Mr. Fox’s representation far exceeded our expectations. He could talk to us on a very personal level, putting aside the legal speak but he was dogged and fearless in his pursuit of our welfare. I would have no hesitation nor would my wife of highly recommending Attorney Mike Fox or his firm to represent anyone interested in the pursuit of a satisfactory resolution to any type of civil litigation. Respectfully, M.Bradley

Best of the best

I’m incredibly grateful I found Fox & Fox to represent me on my claim of employment discrimination. I’d never been involved in a lawsuit before and wasn’t sure where to turn, how to find a good attorney, or whether I even had a case. I had just been fired from my job after a series of troubling ev...ents with my employer, and it left me shaken. A friend who was familiar with situations like mine and the lawyers who handle them recommended Fox & Fox as the best. I reached out to them, and Mike Fox and Mary Kennelly agreed to represent me. I could not have had better guidance through the legal process, better advocates in the court room, or better partners to navigate a very difficult time in my life. Mike and Mary related to me on a very personal level, always attentive to the stress that I might feel as the litigation progressed through various stages.   They balanced empathy and rigor beautifully: both were supportive and sensitive to what I had been through, while maintaining their intense focus and legal perspective. Mike and Mary bring so much experience and intelligence to their work, and they were alert to aspects of the case I would never have thought of or known to bring up. They were consistently on point when arguing our case, presenting my testimony, and examining my employer’s witnesses. Their preparation and execution impressed me. More than anything, I was proud to be represented by attorneys with such integrity and high ethical standards. Mary and Mike fought for me with respect and grace. They consistently exceeded my expectations and made me feel valued, protected, empowered and understood. I highly recommend Fox & Fox to anyone looking for expert counsel.

Incredible knowledge of complex legal issues

I hired Michael Fox and Peter Fox to represent me in a complex breach of contract case. Michael's knowledge of complicated legal issues were second to none. During the federal trial, Michael was able to communicate, educate, and change the original opinion of the Judge in regards to several complex... issues. I could not be more satisfied with Michael Fox (or his partner Peter Fox).
