excellent help for employment issue
I needed my severance agreement reviewed on a quick turn-around and it went very well. She answered questions I didn't know I had!
"Jennifer is a terrific employment lawyer. She knows the law, and is able to explain it. Her advice is always measured to the situation and not "one size fits all.""
"Jennifer's counsel was invaluable. She helped get our start-up off the ground, and saved us from tripping on some serious landmines. Highly recommend!"
"I endorse this lawyer. Jennifer is an excellent attorney and individual. We served together on the board of the Austin Small and Solo group at the Austin Bar Association for 3 years. I was always impressed with Jennifer’s ability to navigate the dynamics of the group and be an excellent treasurer of the board. When I became chair, she agreed to stay on the board another year. Jennifer is smart, hard working, kind and very good with people. In fact, I recently asked for her advice on a business matter and she gave me solid and thoughtful ideas for my situation. Jennifer is the type of lawyer and human being we all strive to emulate. I am grateful to know Jennifer Ward."
