Posted by Suzie | July 23, 2022 | Hired Attorney | Wrongful Termination

Impeccable Attorney

I was termed unjustly during covid. I went to Shouse Law Group who referred me to JML Law to handle the case. I wondered why they sent me to them, but I soon quickly learned it was because they were the best to handle employment termination issues. My JML attorney Stephen Wiard listened to everything... I had to say with an empathic ear. He was kind and caring. He is a very professional attorney with impeccable employment law knowledge and skills. If Stephen finds merit to your case, he will not let you down. He will work hard and not faulter to make sure there is retribution to the life altering event that you had to endure. I highly respect Stephen Wiard and the law firm he works for. I recommend to all.

Thanks Stephen ! You treated me like family… like an older brother

I needed an employment law attorney with vast experience in wrongful termination/ age discrimination settlement cases. A friend of mine who is the past President of the Los Angeles County Bar Association, referred me to JML Law and Joseph Lovretovich. Joe Lovretovich listened to my story and ...immediately agreed to take on my case. I was assigned to two incredible JML attorneys who represented me - Nicholas Sarris and Stephen Wiard. I learned so much from these two attorneys. They guided me through the legal process and kept me informed every step of the way. Although my year-long case was stressful for me, Nick & Stephen treated me like a valued family member… like a brother. They were always looking out for me. My main contact at JML was Stephen Wiard. He was absolutely incredible keeping me informed of everything along the way and offering advice and suggestions on how to proceed. Due to a strict confidentiality agreement, I can’t say much about my case. But, I am THRILLED with the advice and representation I received from JML Law and Stephen Wiard. Lastly, the attention to details and caring for the client continues with Stephen. Long after my official dealings with Stephen concluded, he provided more assistance and advice that proved to be extremely beneficial. With sincere appreciation, Roger Hancock RETIRED
