Hollie L. Wieland

Hollie Wieland was outstanding to work with from our first conversation. She provided thorough explanation and professional insight during every stage of our engagement. I appreciated her extensive knowledge on our case and on the EEOC. Her willingness to not only work with us, but educate us along t...he way, showed she was invested in strengthening our business. She was sensitive to our unique situation and was careful to understand each detail. Hollie consistently ensured we remained on the same page through responsive and thorough communication. She worked in a way that instilled confidence in our decisions. Finally, she is backed by an outstanding team of legal professionals, namely paralegal Jennifer Buckley, who was instrumental in our case. I would highly recommend Hollie Wieland and Sears & Associates.

Hollie was referred to me when I was searching for a lawyer who specialized in Employment Law. She tool on my case, she listened well and provided guidance as to how to respond to my former employer. I tried to do my homework about Title VII before speaking with Hollie. She honored the little info... I knew, gave me ample opportunity to speak (write) my thoughts and then took time to explain the law, including past rulings and how they informed what I could/should expect. She maintained cordial and open dialogue with my former employer and worked expeditiously to bring the negotiations to an amicable conclusion. Appreciate how Hollie remained empathetic yet firm and decisive throughout the process. She remained fact based and responsive. She acknowledged her own limitations and was open to different perspectives, humility which I greatly respect. I recommend Hollie to anyone who needs this type of representation.

I was like many people and had no idea where to go, or who to go to, when I found myself needing an attorney. I was totally at a loss when I was terminated from my job after complaining about workplace harassment by a superior. I was under financial and emotional distress and had zero understanding o...f the legal process ahead of me. In my search for a lawyer, I came across Ms. Hollie Wieland. After learning about my situation, not only was she kind and compassionate, but she was also able to clearly explain what my legal rights were in layman terms. Hollie and her wonderful staff were amazing, pulled out all the stops, and were dedicated to standing up for my rights. Hollie was straight forward in telling me what to expect every step of the way. She not only won my case but helped me change the culture at my former place of employment (by requiring they implement harassment resources) so that this sort of behavior does not continue for current and future employees. I highly recommend Ms. Hollie Wieland!

I hired Hollie to help me with a boss who had a small business that was inappropriately run to the point where when I unexpectedly sustained a work-related injury, my boss fired me and told me she would not be paying unemployment OR medical bills. I'm middle aged and have never been fired. Ever. The...re was no basis for it except that the boss did not have workers comp insurance and did not want to pay my work-related medical bills. Hollie and her staff worked tirelessly to ensure that my medical AND attorney fees were paid in full by my boss. The boss had to pay in monthly installments, as she could not afford a lump sum. So Hollie's staff went above and beyond in monitoring the monthly payments (even when I wasn't paying attention due to being busy), and contacting me to verify that the payment cleared. I was not charged for the time it took the staff to email me regarding these payments. I HIGHLY recommend Hollie Wieland and her staff (particularly Jennifer). They are kind, understanding, timely, efficient, supportive, and professional.
