Employment disputes

Sarah helped me resolve some employment issues over the past couple years. In the first issue, she helped me get some wording removed from a termination letter. I was laid off due to economic reasons yet my termination contract forbade me from ever working for the company or any of its subsidiaries e...ver again. Sarah worked to have that removed from the contract. Sarah also worked on my behalf to resolve some issues regarding my employer not taking enough out for insurance premiums. Sarah was thorough in her research on my behalf to get the answers I needed.

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.
