No matter the social setting, be it work or play, 90% of the people I've met introduce themselves and then identify what they do.  They don't identify the number of kids they have, or whether they are married or single.  They identify their jobs, their careers, or their line of work.

 

For better or for worse, our jobs and our careers define our lives.  It's where we spend most of our waking hours. 

 

When something negative happens at work, it has a profound affect.  Many people live paycheck to paycheck, and any disruption at work can affect our ability to support our families.  It can also have a shocking affects on our view of ourselves. Our jobs are deeply personal.

 

This is why I practice employment law.

Best of the Best
Kristi has always gotten me out of a jam. No matter the situation her advice and experience has helped me when I needed it most. Her card is the only Woman's card that my wife will allow me to have in my wallet.

Employment related long term disability claim
There are no words to truly express how wonderful Kristi is. She worked so hard on our case to make sure that we received the benefits that we were entitled to. She had to fight an international Fortune 500 company who have more money to throw at claims like ours and yet for a very, very reasonable fee was able to broker a settlement that was fair to everybody. I would hire her again in a second if I ever had this type of need again.

Health Insurance Nightmare...
We came to Kristi as we had a health insurance nightmare.. Kristi was able to help us immediately with our case and it was over before we knew it. She grabbed the bull by it's horns and the insurance company did not get away with the inhumanity they had sued us for... The nightmare was gone as well as the awful experience we had endured from the collection agency involved. I would recommend Kristi to anyone!! Hands down.

Straight to the solution with no hassle
I just wanted to thank you for all of your help regarding my case. Without your knowledge and expertise, I would be still lost in the dark without knowing where I am. Ms. Rothschild handled my matter with expertise and knowledge above and beyond my expectations. I would highly recommend her!
