Posted by anonymous | August 20, 2020 | Hired Attorney | Wrongful Termination

Managed a very difficult defendant and defendant's attorney

Ms. Jenkins managed my retaliation and wrongful termination case. While I'm sure these are standard for her, I believe the defendant's attorney was perhaps one of the most difficult anyone has ever had to work with. In dealing with him, his clients and the matter, she handled it all well, without eve...r having to disturb my day-to-day life and work. This alone, was a feat in itself since the defendant's attorney was truly the most erratic, unreasonable, confusing and uncommunicative human being, much less professional, that anyone has had to work with. Although I did not receive the settlement amount that I felt was due, I also recognize that it was a better outcome than it could have been. All in all, it was an outcome that weighed more positively in my favor. While I hope never to have to use an employment attorney again, I would consult Genevieve again should a similar matter occur.

Involuntary Termination!? For doing my job!?

I found myself in a situation where I needed an employment attorney. The situation that I needed representation for required advanced and specified knowledge of employment law. I was in a emotional and financial depression until I found Genevieve and Excelsis Law. She helped to resolve the issues I h...ad with my former employer and provided results that greatly eased my depression, both financially and emotionally. Thank you once again to Genevieve and Excelsis Law. If your in a similar situation call her right away.

Professional, direct, and a pleasure to work with!

Genevieve helped me with a case related to employment law. Throughout the entire experience, she talked me through my options, what our strong evidence was vs. what might not work in our favor, what my paths were for resolution, etc. I felt very well taken care of and there was never a moment where I... felt like I couldn't understand my options. I enjoyed working with her and she made it a pleasure despite the reason for the working relationship.

Highly Recommend

The experience I had with Genevieve Jenkins couldn’t have been better. It’s clear within the first minute of meeting her she is extremely competent and well versed in labor law. She was able to break everything down for a clearer understanding of what to expect. Not once during our many interactions ...did I get even the slightest impression she was in it for herself. She is professional, warm, compassionate, and trustworthy. After speaking with her I had a sense of calm and self-assuredness I hadn’t experienced in months. Ultimately, I decided that at the time I didn’t have the emotional reserve required to pursue legal action against my employer, despite having what Genevieve determined to be a strong case. When I told her that I wouldn’t be going forward with the lawsuit, she had already spent hours of her own time working on my case, and despite this, she was kind and encouraging (which I believe speaks volumes about her character). Having her on my side during this extremely difficult time was invaluable. I can’t recommend her highly enough.

Our Hero!!

Our family was put through a terrible and dire situation, with a landlord that left us out on the street, homeless and ended up losing everything we owned through their illegal actions. We were hopeless, lost, broken, and didn't know where to turn to. Genevieve was a God sent, she pick us not only in... spirits but got us shelter and hope to our overcome our ugly situation. Genevieve is a caring professional with tremendous knowledge, she kept us well updated and walked us through every detail of our case. Genevieve gave us peace of mind and comfort knowing that she was determined to get us the best legal representation. Our family owes her a life time of gratitude not only for getting us our home back but showing us that true hero's exist.
