Daryl Sinkule: A+ Fantastic Attorney

Daryl is an outstanding, personable, professional, and very intelligent attorney. I was lucky to work with Daryl toward the end of my case, and he treated me as if I was his client from the very beginning. He made sure to answer all of my questions, made time to explain important items, and was very ...easy to work with and talk to. He went above and beyond for me! I would not hesitate to work with Daryl again, and highly recommend him and his very professional firm!

Charles’ Review

At some point in a person's life, the need to retain the services of an attorney will present itself. When that happens, it is vitally important to make sure that the attorney you choose exhibits three things: relevant subject matter expertise, empathy, and dogged determination as your advocate. In... my case, Daryl Sinkule excelled at all three and then some! Beyond his knowledge and experience in employment and labor law, he is responsive, proactive, kind, and a professional in every sense of the word. Daryl’s service, and the resources of his firm, made all of the difference in the outcome of my case. I would not hesitate to work with him again should the need arise. Less

Thoughtful, Accommodating, Winner

Daryl was exactly what I was hoping for in an attorney. As I was completely new to the legal process, I didn't know what to expect, and Daryl took his time to make sure I thoroughly understood everything each step of the way. He was always in touch, either with follow up emails, calls, or texts. Furt...her, as I had to travel to Houston for our case, he and his firm were very accommodating, making sure I had landed, gotten to the hotel, provided me with directions to the courtroom, etc. More important, he worked tirelessly to ensure we won the case - which we did. Even during and after the trial portion, he was explaining to me what was happening and why. In summary, Daryl is a class act and I strongly recommend him and his firm and would without a doubt hire him again. Thanks Daryl!

Incredibly Intelligent, Thorough, Patient and Professional

I could not have asked for better representation than Mr. Sinkule. He genuinely cares about your situation and the outcome. With Mr. Sinkule, YOU dont have to go to battle, he does it for you with such a calm and confident demeanor. I fully trusted his expertise and am glad I did as he took a very s...tressful situation and turned it into a fairly stress free process resulting in a favorable outcome. He is always thinking one step ahead which eased my mind. Most importantly, Mr. Sinkule is honest, informative and will be with you every step of the way. He was very responsive to all my emails and phone calls without making me feel like an annoyance. Additionally, Mr. Sinkule understood my emotional investment in the case and patiently listened as I continuously expressed my frustrations with the other party. He truly is a phenomenal attorney who is on your side. I would HIGHLY recommend Mr. Sinkule.

Professional, Patient, Informative

Mr. Sinkule was such a pleasure to work with. I trusted him implicitly to represent me because throughout the many, many hours of discussions that we had, he was always so thoughtful, professional, and well-versed. His sense of calm was helpful and I knew I could trust him to be level-headed in all d...iscussions with my previous employer. He never rushed me, was always timely in his responses and spent several hours walking me through scenarios, answering my questions in great detail. He was extremely knowledgeable and knows employment law down to the letter. I also felt he was most focused on securing justice and not eyeing profit for his firm. I hope I do not have to use Mr. Sinkule's services again, but absolutely would if I had to and would highly recommend him to my closest family and friends. He is definitely the kind of lawyer you want on your side, fighting your battles with expertise and respect.
