Outstanding Legal Representation

We hired Michelle Matheson to look into a case involving the wrongful termination of a student from a very rigorous program of study. Michelle immediately analyzed the allegations presented and conducted a swift inquiry into the circumstances surrounding the termination. After Michelle agreed to ta...ke us on as clients, she ensured our interests were taken seriously by all parties involved and worked tirelessly to come up with a solution. She quickly coordinated with applicable officials & professionals outlining and citing violations of federal disability statutes. Her sound counsel brought favorable resolution to the case and gave the student a much deserved opportunity to continue pursuit of a career in medicine. Michelle represented our interests in an outstanding manner and kept us informed throughout the entire process. As we came to resolution, Michelle was very honest and upfront on all issues from culpability to cost. Simply put, Michelle and her team were fantastic! I highly recommend her legal services.

Excellent Employment Attorney

When I was included in my former employer’s reduction in force, I believed I was wrongly terminated. I paid for a consultation with Michelle and am very glad that I did. Michelle confirmed my belief and pointed out all relevant state and federal law. I hired Michelle to pursue the various claims ...against my employer. Without filing a lawsuit, Michelle negotiated a very favorable monetary settlement, which included full reimbursement of the fees I paid to her. It was clear that Michelle knows employment and business law VERY WELL, and throughout the process she took the time to explain all relevant law to me, as well as the reasons that my employer’s attorney included various terms in the agreement. Michelle thought to negotiate various favorable terms in the settlement agreement that would not have occurred to me. Michelle was extremely effective and efficient.

Excellent representation

I experienced a termination from a job held for many years, complicated by a recent diagnosis of a serious medical condition. Michelle explored the options presented by the facts of the situation, clearly explained my legal position, offered some practical suggestions and negotiated what I thought wa...s the best possible outcome for me under those circumstances. Her legal expertise and common sense approach made that happen in a reasonable period of time. I am very satisfied with the result and grateful to have had Michelle represent me in this matter.

Workplace discrimination

I hired Michelle in November 2015 for a wrongful termination which included discrimination. From a 50 minute phone briefing, Michelle was able to put together a letter for me that included every name, date and detail I shared with her. in my review of the letter I found only one name misspelled. E...very detail was accurate and was just as I had stated during the briefing. When it came to decision making, Michelle left them pretty much up to me, though, she advised me well on options and what next steps in her opinion might be best. Michelle was able to keep my case out of court and mediation, and we verbally settled in mid-Feb. The rest was just paperwork with my final compensation arriving April 15th. Michelle handled my case with the highest degree of professionalism and I would not hesitate to recommend her services to anyone.

Absolutely The Best Employment Lawyer

I was hurt on the job and immediately "re-organized", layed off. It is very hard to find a employment lawyer. My wife and I finally found and called ten lawyers. It seems they all pre-qualify to rate how much your case is worth to them. Three called back to qualify further and one would see us. He s...aw us at six pm and took six hundred dollars to tell us that he could not help us. He treated us like he was doing us a favor by taking our money. We finally found Michelle Matheson, (480) 889-8951 and her fabulous assistant Christina. We left a message, they returned our call and we went to see them. We were treated with dignity, as we were fairly depressed at this point. Michelle never hurried us, went over all the material and proceeded to work on our case. In the end she negotiated a sum of money for us and her fees. No court. My wife and I are very grateful to Michelle and Christina and would highly recommend them! Thanks, John
