Strategic Thinker
Jamie is an incredibly practical, thoughtful, non-nonsense lawyer. She is a great counselor and strategic thinker. And is unflappable. Given her line of business (employment law), being unflappable is really important! I have referred her to 3 other people already, she is an amazing asset.

Fantastic advocate and calming guide through difficult times.
Jamie was recommended to me by a trusted peer to assist me in a difficult employment situation.

Not Trustworthy
I recommend all minority potential clients to seek other counsel. Ms. Franklin worked for the benefit of the entity I was in litigation with. And did not operate in my best interest. She also intentionally did not perform critical interviews on my behalf, after I repeatedly requested that she did.
I cannot comment on client relationships - past or present - but I want to be clear that there has never been any circumstance in which I have worked against a client. Regrettably, a disagreement arose in this particular situation, and, given the nature of online reviews, the best (and only) course is to emphasize that my entire practice is, and has always been, dedicated to plaintiffs and to working on behalf of those who have been wronged. That has never changed, and it never will.

I found Jamie after pursuing an exhaustive track record review of numerous employment attorneys in the Chicago area; after seeing her results I was convinced she was the right attorney for my case. She is one of a kind, a true plaintiff's attorney, someone who defends her clients' best interests fier...

Professional, thorough, and effective
I recently filed a lawsuit for the first time in my life, over a contract dispute where a company failed to make good on payments for work I did. I was nervous going into the process, but felt I had no choice. A colleague referred me to Jamie Franklin, and I could not possibly be happier with the res...
"I endorse this lawyer for all employment law cases. I met Jamie through a mutual colleague and I refer all of my employment law matters to her. Jamie Franklin is one of the brightest, conscientious and hard working lawyers I know. She is very dedicated to the clients she represents and very skilled at litigating a federal lawsuit. Jamie is highly respected by her peers, the courts, and the clients she represents."
"I endorse this lawyer. I worked with Jamie as co-counsel on a complex employee benefits class action and found her to be a highly intelligent, skillful attorney."
