This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Former employer added Insult to injury .

Believe me when I say I do not use the term, insult to injury as a cleache . I was on fmla due to a motorcycle accident my employer laid me off after giving me the run around when I tried to return with restrictions. Jessica Fayerman was highly recommended by one of the largest employment firms in ...the Midwest. After several phone conversations with that firm it seemed they were going to take on my case . I was asked to fill out a questionnaire that included my salary , what type of outcome/results I expected and what I felt was fare compensation for my case . Shortly after completing the questionnaire I received an email from the attorney . He went on to say that after reviewing and discussing my case with all the partners they agreed that they currently had to many on going cases & due to their large case loads they could not give my case the full attention it deserved . In truth I believe that after they saw my salary was rather small they felt the possible settlement amount was not worth their time and effort but recommended Fayerman Law .The rejection made me feel a bit insignificant and unimportant and I almost decided to not persue the case . I checked her website and decided to call . She did not see my case as small and made me feel like she really wanted to help me resolve my situation. I would strongly advice anyone in need of hiring an employment attorney to call Jessica Fayerman. I never made me feel insignificant , took the time to hear my situation answered all my questions and put my doubts at ease that I was wrongfully terminated . She always made herself available to answer my questions, returned emails quickly , filed all the paperwork quickly, negotiated with great confidence, keeping me up to date every step of the way . Not only did Jessica Fayerman help me reach a fast and fair settlement beyond what I thought I would receive but she did it faster than I would have ever thought possible due to her experience and knowledge which helped me get my life back on track.

Racial Discrimination

Jessica Fayerman represented me in a racial discrimination lawsuit. From the beginning of the case to the end, I received high quality representation. Jessica was vey knowledgeable and very helpful. She answered all of my questions, whether it was through e-mail or phone calls in a timely manner. She... always kept me abreast of the status of my case. She understood the complexity of my racial discrimination case. I would highly recommend Jessica Fayerman for legal representation.

Governmental Discrimination Case

Jessica Fayerman represented me in a discrimination case against a Cook County governmental agency. She actually listened to my story and extrapolated the pertinent facts from the emotional baggage that comes with any discrimination case. Ms. Fayerman was able to understand the toxic environment th...at I was working in and this is truly a valuable skill in dealing with government discrimination cases. I found her to be a very skilled attorney and very knowledgeable in the area of discrimination law.

Jessica Fayerman: Personable, Professional, Results-Oriented.

Similar to Banking (or Medicine), the Legal profession has an inherant trust built-in as to how the public views us. It is a blessing that should be upheld by a high-standard in our personal conduct as well as in how we perform our professional duties with regard to our clients. With education and ...experiences to guide us, we must take time to not just see a given scenario high-level, but to truly understand circumstances that have brought a respective individual to us for assistance. It is only after this careful analysis and consideration that an appropriate plan of action should be suggested. Although successful professionally in my field, I recently faced a time when I needed guidance during a challenging time in my own career. I decided to partner with Jessica Fayerman in my efforts to right what I felt to be a wrong. With traits and approach previously mentioned, Jessica was excellent in her interactions with me personally, as well as in her preparation for and corresponding approach at the Negotiation table. It is based upon this experience that I would highly recommend Jessica Fayerman as a well-qualified, respected, and effective professional in her area of expertise. AF
