Professional and Proficient

Attorney Anderson-West quickly advocated for me when dealing with an employer. She consistently followed up with their attorney and supported my desire to seek justice. Michele was professional and empathetic in her approach. She is truly an advocate and will seek justice for her clients. She quickl...y resolved my issue. I emphatically recommend her.

Significant Help with my Case

Michele was kind, responsive and knowledgeable regarding the details of my case. She assisted in providing guidance and legal advice regarding litigation options against a former employer as well as advice regarding the defense of a small claims case with the same employer. I would highly recomme...nd working with her and would not hesitate to utilize her services in the future.

She’ll go for the easy settlement, thats about it

Michelle was pretty nice at first but her intentions became questionable. I filled a claim against my employer. She seemed to be on my side but then she started advising me to do things that I felt work against my best interest. I still did them, because I thought she was the professional. Sh...e stopped investigations from continuing with the Equal Employment Opportunity Coalition without telling me. Conversations became a battle to get her to listen to me and stop believing my employer. When I got the right to sue. She disappeared and became difficult to get ahold of. Right as we approached the filing due date for the right to sue. She called me into a meeting and dropped me. So I wouldn’t be able to file the right to sue. I found out about some of the questionable stuff she did, when I contacted the EEOC and asked them how I could file the right to sue without an attorney. Unfortunately Michele’s disappearance and waiting until the end to drop me, caused me to miss my chance of filling. It was as if she was working with former employer, the entire time to sabotage my case. My employers attorney knew what my employer had done. I understand he was doing his job, as much as I disagree with his methods. I just never thought Michelle would just believe everything he said and just go along with it.

I pride myself on always being honest with clients as to the strengths and weakness of their case. Sometimes clients, such as the person above, has expectations that are not warranted by the facts or by associated laws. It is apparent that I did not communicate effectively with this client and will work very hard to ensure effective communication and manage client expectations going forward.

We won the appeal!!

Michele was very helpful in my unemployment claim appeal. From the beginning she explained in detail how we would defend our case and what to expect throughout the process. She always returned my phone calls and E-mails in a timely manner. I would highly recommend!!

The Very Best

Michele Anderson-West as the best lawyer I could have hired for my employer discrimination case. She cared about my case and made sure I understood each step of the way. She returned my calls and emails quickly, usually that same day. I had many questions and she patiently answered each one. She ...was always professional in her correspondence with the defendant but was firm when she needed to be. I received copies of all correspondence. One email from the defendant's lawyers thanked my lawyer for her professionalism. Michele Anderson-West was the perfect lawyer for my case because of her knowledge of employment discrimination and her hard work in winning my case.
