First-time employment contract

I was entering into an employment agreement for the first time as part of a executive level job offer. This being new territory for me I was really looking for an attorney who could help guide me through the process, answer my extensive questions, and be able to keep my best interest in mind. Michael... was great - he put my husband and I at ease, was able to answer our many questions, and overall felt like an advocate. He was very trustworthy, honest, and upfront - particularly when explaining the process and fee structure. He was also very responsive and available especially as this process was occurring over the Holidays. Overall, I would highly recommend anyone to work with him.

Greeted by papers on a Saturday morning, my world was upside down. I needed help, and knew that I needed legal advice. I turned to Mr. Frasier, where he quickly jumped at the opportunity to help with our case. Going into the details with Michael, he was knowledgeable and was patient with our quest...ions. He went into great detail to answer our concerns and quickly put together a plan forward. The result of our experience was fantastic, not only did Mr. Frasier meet our end goals, he exceeded them! I would gladly recommend Michael Frasier and his firm.

Michael Frasier provided me with excellent legal advice and representation in a wage dispute. First of all, he is enthusiastic and passionate about the practice of law-he sincerely enjoys his profession. He is experienced to begin with and, equally important, will conduct any research necessary f...or the case at hand. He demonstrates insightfulness and long term strategic thinking in his execution and process during the case. Michael has a high degree of ability in explaining the legal process, steps, risks, costs and potential results in terms understandable to a layman; he is also most patient in doing so. While always optimistic during our case, he gave honest, realistic and direct advice and opinions. He always listened to my questions, opinions and comments and responded to them honestly and thoughtfully. I consistently felt that he always had the time for me and my case. I give him my highest recommendation.

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.
