Thank you

My lawyer, Guemen, shows genuine concern for her clients and is highly professional. She possesses extensive knowledge in her field and diligently addresses all my concerns, always providing timely responses. The entire staff supported me throughout the entire process until the end.

Helpful and Kind!

Marcia and her staff answered all of my questions I had about my case! She always updated me on my case and was even supportive when a member of my family passed last November. I recommend everyone to go to Ms. Guzman if they were terminated with wrong reasoning by their jobs!

Wrongful termination

Very helpful throughout the whole case. Thank you so much for your help. Always updating me on the case. They were very helpful and nice, didn’t feel discriminated on the contrary I was happy with their service. Definitely do recommend this place for others to come to!

Gracias Dios mío por la abogada que elegiste para representarme.

Cuando uno tiene un problema legal es muy difícil saber a qué abogado recurrir por ayuda, sobre todo porque al momento de elegir un abogado se debe buscar uno que sea especialista en el caso específico que nos toca enfrentar en ese momento. En mis 7 años de haber trabajado en restaurantes yo nunca h...abía tenido la necesidad de buscar un abogado pero cuando comenzó la pandemia necesité la ayuda de un especialista en Workers’ Compensation, porque estaba seguro de que mis derechos de trabajador se habían violado. Entre mis amigos y mis compañeros de trabajo no encontré la referencia que buscaba, tuve que buscar un abogado por mi propia cuenta, con la incertidumbre lógica de no saber en manos de quién quedaría mi caso y sobre todo qué cuidado se le iba a dar a mi caso. Busqué en el internet y en este momento estoy seguro de que Dios me ayudó porque puso mi caso en las manos de la abogada Marcia Guzman de la firma Attorneys for Workers’ Rights, quienes me demostraron, tanto ella como la firma que representa, tener un profesionalismo para atender mi caso y una atención hacia mi persona realmente fuera de serie. Mi inglés deja mucho que desear, pero siempre estuvo en comunicación conmigo en español, además de la abogada Guzman, una secretaria o paralegal de nombre Lidia que me tenía al tanto de la situación del caso en todo momento, tanto por teléfono, texto o email. Hoy en día mi caso ya se resolvió mediante un arreglo con los dueños del restaurante, que yo considero justo para compensar por las violaciones a mis derechos. Gracias Dios mío por la abogada que elegiste para representarme.

Great Lawyer,

I have had a difficult time with the management company of my condominium complex. Sometimes my statements don't reflect payments made. Sometimes I don't get my statements, and they are not always pleasant when I request that I get a copy emailed. The latest conflict started off with their taping ...a demand notice on the 30 that I complete a task my the 24th. The management company had told me that they were going to replace that door 4 years before when the repairs to the unit above me were being completed. I had not contacted the management company as they are extremely difficult to deal with and not always competent as evidenced b the fact that they demanded that a task be completed 6 days before the notice was dated. Wanting peace in my retirement and the threatening tone of their communication, I decided to hire a lawyer to communicate with them. Ms. Guzman and her team have been wonderful. I was willing to have the door painted rather than replaced. Instead of my following up, Lidia in Ms. Guzman's office was relentless in following up, and after 5 months the door is now painted. Ms. Guzman and Lidia have consistently explained to them that they do have to supply me with accurate statements and my payments do have to be posted. They keep me informed and keep my blood pressure in check. I am so thankful that they represent me.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
