Brenda H. Feis's Lawyer Endorsements

Endorse Brenda

Employment and labor lawyer | Apr 11

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"Brenda is an outstanding attorney and advocate. She is extraordinarily smart and caring. As an employee advocate, she understands how businesses think and knows how to advance her clients’ interests in the most meaningful way. Brenda is strategic in how she approaches each client matter and does not follow a cookie cutter method like some other lawyers do. I originally met Brenda when she was opposing counsel in a case, and she impressed me with her knowledge of the law, the courts, and how to achieve her client’s desired goals. Brenda is an excellent listener – a crucial skill for an attorney. She is deeply involved in all of her matters, and she is in the tranches with her clients. She is a terrific lawyer and person."

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"Brenda is an excellent lawyer. I had the opportunity to litigate opposite her years ago and since then have worked on another matter with her. She is hard working, thorough and committed to representing the best interests of her clients. She is a tough litigator and knowledgeable on the law."

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"Brenda is a superb labor and employment attorney. She is creative and determined, and she has an exceptional command of the law as well as practicality, combined with broad interpersonal skills that enable her to relate with persons from all walks of life. I never hesitate to refer clients to her that have any potential labor or discrimination claims, as well as those individuals who require counseling and strategizing to address issues in the workplace, to secure benefits or to protect rights."

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.
