    Cortney shegerian is an amazing attorney! I am so lucky I was referred to her by another attorney who didn’t handle employment cases. She took care of my sexual harassment case and I felt like she made sure that I got the justice that I knew and felt I deserved. On top of it, the person who was harassing me was fired!

    Cortney Shegerian is a brilliant and devoted attorney. While working together, she always made me feel like the results of my case were personally important to her. She fought for me and had more empathy than I ever could have imagined any attorney giving. I am extremely thankful - I would not have made it through this without her, and I give her my highest recommendation. Thank you, Cortney!

    Cortney, Heather and the staff at Shegerian Conniff were extremely helpful to me. They worked diligently on my case and I have the highest praise and respect for their team! Cortney was prompt in responding to my initial inquiry, made calls on my behalf immediately and surpassed my expectations. She made the process very clear; she was easy to talk to and walked me through each step along the way. I had total confidence in her. I would highly recommend Cortney to anyone in need of representation. It’s nice to know that there’s attorney’s out there who still care!

    Extremely kind and helpful Employment Lawyer

    Cortney Shegerian is one of the best lawyers I've ever encountered. I met with her and her partner, Heather, at a really vulnerable time for me. She was extremely helpful in explaining the relevant law regarding my potential case against my employer and provided advice on how to best protect my job. She was focused on what was the best outcome for me instead of what was a potentially beneficial outcome for her. And she was super patient and kind throughout the meeting. I would recommend her and her partner, Heather, to ANYONE who has been wrongfully fired, harassed or discriminated against at their job. Or to anyone who thinks that they might be getting wrongfully fired, harassed or discriminated against.

    Cortney Shegerian was so helpful and professional. She was prompt, friendly, knowledgeable and a good listener, answered my questions and gave me advice on how to proceed next. Although I didn't end up being their client, she still treated me like one with followup email, I can only imagine how well they will take care of their clients.
