Amy was helpful in quickly resolving a dispute regarding my switching agencies and dealing with a prior employer who was very unhappy with my decision. She was able to guide me through the process and provide recommendations, while also being very transparent and knowledgeable about what could happen...

I spent a week researching about a dozen employment lawyers in LA and OC and found Amy through a recommendation from another lawyer who I liked but who was conflicted out. I only had 3 weeks to present my argument to my former employer. Amy jumped on my case immediately and worked over two weekends a...

After calling Amy and discussing my particular situation early last year, she listened and offered her professional opinion which led to her accepting my case. She gets to the point quickly and does not mince words. Her staff is friendly and everyone is on task all the time. Amy is excellent when ...

I was extremely pleased. She took on the case while many refused. She was clear on the downside from the start. She charged according to a rational scale and stuck to it. And she delivered exactly what i wanted in response to excellent work. Trying to think of something negative to say but my mind go...

I was referred to Amy by another lawyer for a couple of very tricky employment lawsuits. From day one, Amy was knowledgeable about all areas of the lawsuit and provided detailed instructions and explanations for everything that was to come. She is a straight shooter with a great attention to detail,...
"Amy is just a brilliant attorney. Smart yet understated. Amy has this rare quality, leaving a highly positive impression on anyone she meets. I endorse this lawyer."
"I know Amy from a professional organization of which we are both members. I know her to be a genuine Attorney who truly cares about her clients. She is selective with the cases she takes on because she fully commits herself and puts all her energy into the client's matter. Amy regularly obtains settlements in the high hundreds of thousands range, as well as some in seven figures. She has tried numerous cases to verdict, some for employees and some for employers. She also will not hesitate to take the case to trial if necessary as she is a diligent and zealous litigator. Amy is highly experienced in all employment matters, but her passion is representing clients dealing with retaliation for whistleblowing and reporting discrimination. I highly endorse and recommend Amy because her clients can count on her to achieve the results they deserve."
"Amy possesses a combination of both large firm and trial experience that is rare these days. She is an experienced, aggressive litigator who is well-respected in the employment law community. I fully endorse Amy for your employment law and litigation needs."
"Amy Semmel is the best employment attorney a person could ever find. She is exceptionally bright, talented and innovative. Before turning to the representation of employees, Amy represented employers/businesses for many years. She understands what drives the employers and insurance companies “across the table.” Amy not only knows a lot about substantive employment law, but is a tenacious advocate for her clients, consistently getting the best results possible. She has substantial trial experience, and will try the case if a reasonable settlement is not offered. She is smart, organized, and committed to the interests of her clients."
