PREVAILING against MAYO CLINIC

I am a former Research Fellow at Mayo. Mr. Rimas achieved a crushing victory of a Motion for Protective order against Mayo Clinic over my deposition location. And I am confident and looking forward to prevailing my summary judgment and trial. I have hired Mr Vytas Rimas since 2018 for litigation ag...ainst Mayo Clinic for wrongful termination & discrimination. So Far, it has been a unique experience. Mr. Rimas has extensive experience litigating major institutions and governmental entities. Equipped with his Experience, a strategic plan and professionalism, Mr. Rimas & his team go too aggressive on your opponent and strongly advocate for all of your rights with high standards. They smartly deal with opponent meanwhile reasonably accommodating your suggestions. They analyze & utilize well any & every information you provide. Work hard with him and you will gain good results. On personal level, Mr. Rimas is very nice and friendly with good sense of humor. He is someone whom you would love to have as your lifelong friend/attorney/representative/advisor. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED WITHOUT HESITATION.

The Best Attorney Ever! He Will Fight for Your Rights!

I hired Vytas when I was wrongfully terminated as a public school special education teacher. He was knowledgeable, compassionate and most importantly, he believed in me. Vytas is Amazing! Not only is he extremely personable, down to earth , and friendly, he CARES! He was considerate of my needs, wa...nts and thoughts. Not only did I completely trust his guidance, but appreciated his knowledge and familiarity with the court system. Not only did he keep me informed with all the proceedings and what needed to happen, but took care of going to court for me, getting the right paperwork in on time, and negotiating on my behalf. I would HIGHLY recommend Vytas for any of your litigious needs. He is an outstanding education employment attorney and he genuinely cares for his clients. You will see that immediately as he is always willing to go that extra mile, without hesitation to make sure his clients feel comfortable, informed and empowered. He is a pleasure to work with and will fight for his clients to the end. So,if you have been improperly discharged from your career as a public school teacher, or any type of employment you should speak with Vytas as soon as possible. He is an experienced attorney who will be able to advise you of your rights. I would HIGHLY recommend Vytas for any of your litigious needs. I endorse Vytas without reservation!
