Severance negotiation
Ms. Franklin is efficient, trustworthy and professional. Her efforts are much appreciated. She negotiated a excellent severance package for me. Thank you Jamie.

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.
Jamie Franklin
Replied last April 13, 2015I 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.

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."
