Very knowledgeable attorney
Mr. Peckham was remarkable. He took the time to explain the strong points as well as the weak points of my case. He was very open and honest about my up coming EEOC Mediation. In the end he believed in me and took my case at a very reasonable and modest fee arrangement. I would definitely recommend this super lawyer.
