Amy Semmel

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...nd was very responsive. We were able to reach a settlement with my employer within the allotted time frame and she was able to substantially improve the deal. I also felt that Amy was very fair with her billing time and rate, and would recommend her to others seeking representation for wrongful termination.

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 ...it comes to explaining everything. If I had a question or concern, she would immediately respond by email or with a phone call. She is very detail oriented and strives to get a fair resolution which she did on my case. I can't express how much I appreciate what she did for me. Thank you Amy!

Amy is amazing!!! With very little time left under the statute of limitations to file a law suit, my attorney got sick and could no longer handle my case. That is when I found Amy. From the very first time I spoke to her on the phone I knew she was not like other attorney’s. She was very strai...ght forward and honest about my case and presented herself as a very knowledgeable and experienced attorney. She gained my trust and confidence from the very start. And that never changed. Not only is she knowledgeable and experienced, she is all hands on and works hard for you. She personally handles your case. You have no doubt working with Amy that she knows as much about your case as you do. There was not one time that she put me off to her secretary or paralegal. She handled every single one of my phone calls, questions, even the dumb ones and emails herself. She took the time to explain everything that was happening and never seemed rushed or in a hurry. She keeps you in the loop about the status of your case, gives you her opinion about what is happening, even if it is to her detriment. She carries herself professionally and exudes strength and confidence. Especially when dealing the opposition. She knows when to be strong and take a stand and when to concede for the greater good. Amy makes you feel like you are her only client not just one of the many cases she is juggling. She is not your typical attorney. She is much more. She is the best attorney anybody could ask for.. I would recommend her without any reservation or hesitancy.

I hired Amy Semmel in 2015 to represent me in a humiliating and emotionally draining employment matter. After my initial consultation with Amy, I knew she was the right attorney to represent me in my lawsuit against my former employer. Right from the start, Amy and her staff took the time to sift t...hrough the details of my case. They asked the right questions, provided counseling on the legality of my case, and most importantly, were very honest about the strengths and weaknesses of my case. Amy and her staff got just about as angry as I was about the incompetent and defamatory actions of my former employer, which put me at ease. Amy and her staff were very easy to work with, always responding to my silly questions in a timely manner. They made sure I was well prepared for my deposition, as well as ensuring I responded to complicated interrogatories. She fought to get me a fair resolution to my case. Her firm is small but mighty and her staff is fully engaged in your case. I highly recommend Amy for your employment-related legal needs!

My lawsuit was about sexual harassment and I wanted to find an attorney that would understand my situation. I had just been through a very difficult time and the lawsuit was even more stressful. Amy has an amazing ability to make people feel comfortable. Her confidence really gave me the strength to ...get through. I would recommend Amy Semmel to anyone needing representation. Amy is strategic, tough and incredibly talented. If you are looking for good representation with someone to literally guide you through a tough time in your life then stop because you found her. Amy Semmel will handle your case informing you and making sure you understand the process. I was pleased with Amy Semmel and the entire staff.
