Stephen James Wiard helped change my life

I can’t say anything more about Stephen, Sandy, and the team at Feher Law APC. This was a challenging situation for me and my family to go through for the first time, and to relive the situation was traumatic all over again. First, I was hesitant about if I had a case in the first place. I called ...and interviewed Jonathan Tran, the first phase of discovery. That took three separate interviews until they determined they had merit for my case. I was both excited and nervous about starting this legal process. That’s when I was introduced to Sandy Lu, my first piece of the legal journey. She was incredible in keeping me updated on all of the timelines of the legal process. She gave me realistic expectations, answered all of my questions, and addressed all of my concerns. Once the legal process was well on the way, I was introduced to Stephen. He allowed me to see my case from a different perspective. He gave me another set of realistic expectations concerning the deposition process. He held my hand during the most challenging process because I needed it. As I went through the deposition, Sandy and Stephen were with me every step, and once again, they kept my expectations in check. However, Feher Law with Stephen and Sandy was underpromised and over-delivered when the final agreement was made. As a family, we went through hell to get to where we are now and would NOT be here without the support, the fight, and the determination to make things right for me and my family. I am forever indebted to the team at Feher Law and will recommend them to anyone who needs a legal team that will fight for them til the end.

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

Exceptional!

Stephen was with me the entire way while I went through one of the most difficult experiences I have faced. He was always available to me with any questions I had and more importantly he was constantly there for the emotional support I needed (and I required a lot!). Our outcome was positively unexpe...cted, by me anyway, and I feel vindicated. This was all due to Stephen's professionalism, support and keen knowledge of employment law. If you are looking for someone to represent you who is extremely intelligent, professional and supportive, Stephen is the person for you! I would recommend him to all my family and friends in need of an expert in this type of law.
