Professional and Caring

I had a consult with Kit on an employment matter I was facing. While she could not take on my case, I felt I received great insight into my situation to help me make a decision that felt best for me. She was very professional but very kind and understanding as well.

Great breakdown of a separation agreement!

Overall, great consultation walking through everything in my separation agreement. I appreciated the detail in going through each section and understanding the takeaways from each, and any gotchas that might've come up. Kit was more than happy to answer any of my questions about each section and brea...k things down in layman's terms. I think my only feedback, and maybe this is for the entire firm, is that it felt like all the upfront detail I provided through the intake process and chronology form was either forgotten or overlooked somehow prior to the consultation. I was asked to start from the beginning and share my goals and chronology all over again before we jumped into the document, and it felt like everything I provided earlier was unnecessary, so the detailed intake process felt like a waste of time at that point, especially when I'm already paying the fee before the meeting. Not a huge deal, just something to think about refining. Thanks for the consultation! It made signing my agreement painless and straightforward so I could get it done with confidence and be equipped with the right knowledge.

Thank you for taking the time to write this thoughtful review! It was my pleasure to help you navigate the ins and outs of the agreement. We sincerely appreciate your feedback about how we can further improve our intake process to ensure it's as comprehensive yet seamless as possible.

Kit is awesome!

I'm very impressed w/Livelihood- the firm, the people, process. It was very easy to make contact, complete an intake form, and schedule a call with an employment attorney. I had a consult with Kit about a potential employer issue- She was super nice, smart, knowledgeable, professional- and a... great help to guide me on options and next steps. I highly recommend her to anyone in need of an employment attorney.
