Positive Feedback for Rasha Zeyadeh

I had the pleasure of working with Rasha Zeyadeh and would strongly recommend her services based on her professionalism, her tremendous knowledge of employment law, and her creative tactics. She is diplomatic, patient and explains her strategy in detail, always considering her client’s best interests.... She is very giving of her time when speaking with her clients and is a very genuine person – a rare quality nowadays. Her situational assessments are invariably on point and she always has short- and long-term strategies of which she keeps her clients aware. Rasha has an unceasing ability to continuously generate innovative approaches when faced with adverse or unfavorable situations. She provided me with excellent advice and representation and is the consummate professional.

Best experience with the attorney

I've had a rather complicated issue related to my former employment. The matter was complicated not only by itself but also by the time constraints due to my visa status. During the consultation, Mr. Wiley explained in depth all the possible ramifications of my issues and assured me they're available... to represent me, unlike most of the attorneys I asked - and there were many of them. I was happy to start working with Rasha on the matter. Rasha demonstrated high professionalism and readiness to fight at every single step we moved through. Despite my former employer's best efforts to drag out the matter and all the hypocrisy we had to encounter, along with the most expensive attorneys on the other side, Rasha has managed to successfully negotiate. In addition, Rasha was able to provide detailed explanations in a friendly manner every single time I was not sure about the next steps. That was a remarkable experience and I highly recommend both Rasha personally and Mr. Wiley's firm to anyone having serious issues with his/her employer.

#1 Recommended Attorney

I give my full 100% recommendation that she is hands down who you want on your side. No doubts about it! She has great knowledge, skill sets, and experience. She helped guide me in what the exact steps would be in regards to helping me with my Employment Discrimination case, her answers are very cle...ar and thorough. This situation of my Employer was so hard and difficult already, going through a process like this isn't easy. When I asked her questions she answered them precisely and in a way I could understand. With all my questions and all my several concerns she listened, she truly listened and was completely honest, professional, and most uprightly ethical with me. Difficult situations arise for us all. If you need help, she's the one you want!

Retaliation and harassment lawsuit

Almost a year ago, I found myself in need of legal representation. Since I am not native to the Dallas-Fort Worth area, I asked a local Tyler, Texas attorney for Dallas Employment Attorney recommendations. He referred me to Rasha and said he had only met her once but she made an outstanding impressio...n on him. When I first met Rasha and explained my case, not only did she clearly explain the legal ramifications of harassment and retaliation in the workplace in layman's terms but also what the process of filing a civil suit would entail. While being honest with me about the length of time and the additional emotional distress this could cause me, she also instilled a sense of hope in me. Throughout the course of my case, Rasha continually encouraged me and provided such sound and professional legal advice that guided me through what would normally be an extremely intimidating process. Rasha taught me a little about the law (as much as I could understand) and taught me a lot about life. Rasha has truly touched my life in way she will never truly understand. Rasha is a pure form of a woman who loves beyond herself and watching her work and have the gusto to fight for me is a quality I admire. I know she put in long hours and researched laws outside of the typical workplace retaliation and harassment laws to give my case more of a legal standing beyond previous precedence of how employment civil suits are normally resolved.. In the end, the conclusion of my case was fair and it brought a sense of relief that I had not felt in over 300 days and I walked away with my dignity and a newly inspired way to look at not only standing up for my own rights but appreciating that sometimes there is a necessity to seek legal action against those who have maliciously harmed you and restricted your quality of life. Rasha has helped me get my life out of other people’s hands. Thank you Rasha are three words that can’t begin to encompass how grand my appreciate for your talent and your impact on my life has been.

"Rasha and I attended law school together, and she was always a top advocate. It would be difficult to count all of the awards and accolades Rasha received, but I can tell you that she is a passionate attorney who takes action. Rasha is fearless in the courtroom, but she is also razor sharp in her legal analysis. Although I have not worked with Rasha directly on an employment case, I know that her clients are in amazing hands. Additionally, she is the only employment attorney my firm makes referrals to."
