Outstanding Lawyer

Leiza provides A+ legal advice and support. She is simply the best at employment and labor law. She fought to remove my non-compete restrictions. Her intelligence and dedication to winning is second-to-none. Her efforts have allowed me to continue working and growing my practice.

Posted by Jesse | February 11, 2019 | Hired Attorney

Integrity to fight for justice

Our company's reputation and livelihood was on the line. We knew we needed an intelligent aggressive lawyer that didn't care only about the money but mainly about fighting for what was right. We weren't her biggest client but she made us feel that we were. She provided guidance and support along the ...way and never backed down from the fight. Her expertise and wealth of knowledge in her field sets her apart from the rest.

Grateful

I couldn't be more grateful to have met Ms. Dolghih. From the first meeting, she was interested in knowing my entire story and then formulated the most pragmatic approach to resolving the issues. She loves her job and it shows. I've recommended her to many colleagues and will continue to do so.

Posted by Kris | July 27, 2018 | Hired Attorney

MD contract lawsuit

I hired Ms Dolghih on another lawyers recommendation because I needed someone to appear in court with me over a contract matter. She was always available, very responsive and very knowledgeable of the law and it reflected in my outcome. She traveled from her home to another city on several occasions ...for my lawsuit. I would recommend and/or use her again with no reservations.

Strong Client Advocate

I hired Leiza to represent me, the employee, in an employment agreement review and negotiation. Her excellent communication skills and repertoire of non-compete/non-solicit knowledge contributed greatly to my final acceptance of a fair agreement.
