recommended employment lawyer

Elizabeth Faulkner exhibited professionalism and a deep understanding of employment law while managing my case. She clearly explained the complex legal considerations and intricacies, ensuring that I fully understood the implications and next steps throughout the process. Elizabeth was proactive in h...andling my case and zealously advocated on my behalf. Having her support was an invaluable advantage. If I ever need representation again, she will be my first call. Thank you, Elizabeth!

Complex employment law issues

Elizabeth has all the qualities you want in your attorney: 1. Communicative--responded promptly to call calls and emails. 2. Diligent--pursued the case as discussed without delay. 3. Knowledgeable--not just in the intricacies of the law, but in the actual value of the case. 4. Efficient--fees ...charged were reasonable and fair for the exceptional expertise provided, and the matter settled favorably. We have been thoroughly pleased with Elizabeth's advice and representation on more than one occasion. She is truly a lawyer's lawyer--for employment law, the one you want in your corner!

If you want a prompt response from a skilled employment attorney . . .

contact Elizabeth Faulkner. I recently consulted Ms. Faulkner on an employment issue. The issue came up unexpectedly and required an urgent response. Ms. Faulkner was there to assist. Her response was immediate, well-reasoned and explained in terms I could understand. She helped me work out a plan o...f action that I was able to implement without delay. She saved me money, time and headaches. A very knowledgeable and skilled attorney.

Solid attorney whose ethics and morals are unsurpassed

I was referred to Attorney Elizabeth Faulkner by a former EEOC attorney after my previous attorney stopped practicing and terminated all of his clients. Due to an immense amount of errors, time delays as well as missed filing deadlines on the part of my former attorney, I did not believe I would be a...ble to find an attorney (and it had to be “the best of the best”) who would accept me as a client. I was incredibly lucky that Elizabeth did, knowing full well the plethora of mistakes she would inherit due to my former attorney’s lack of ethics. Elizabeth was completely honest with me from my first meeting with her to my last, and was unbelievably responsive. Elizabeth is a solid attorney whose ethics and morals are unsurpassed. Due to the experience I had with my former attorney, it was difficult for me to believe in another attorney and at times, my follow-up with Elizabeth was shoddy at best, but she never gave up on me or my case. She never sugar coated the facts, she was straight forward, she involved me in every step of my case, even the times I would tell her “I trust your judgment, do what you think is best,” she would respond by informing me that although she appreciates my faith in her, I must read, review and decide what “I” would like to do, if “I” accepted the terms. I learned so much from Elizabeth, not just about employment law but also how an attorney is supposed to act, I know how lucky I was to have Elizabeth as my attorney. She fought hard for me and for that I am forever grateful. Due to Elizabeth’s advocacy on my behalf, her professionalism and her immense knowledge of employment law, she was able to obtain a settlement for me from my now former employer. It took Elizabeth less than three months to obtain a settlement on my behalf when I had been with my former attorney for almost two years with no movement on my case at all. Elizabeth took what was nearly impossible and made it possible. Elizabeth also made several attempts on my behalf to obtain monies owed to me by my former attorney and ensured I received each of these emails. When her attempts were thwarted by my former attorney she provided me with the information required to retrieve any and all fees that are due to me from him. She did not have to do this, yet she did. This, on its own, shows that Elizabeth is willing to go above and beyond for her clients. I cannot say enough about Elizabeth as mere words do not do justice for all she did for me.
