Very informative and helpful

Ms. Lawless was extremely generous with her time and called to review my complaints after a brutal wrongful dismissal. Unfortunately, though it was wrong and brutal it did not have the characteristics to be a violation of employment law. I so appreciated her expertise and time. She also did provide o...ther actions or remedies for me to consider too.

"Therese is an outstanding employment attorney that is well recognized in the Bay Area legal community for her achievements and involvement in the National Employment Lawyers and California Employment Lawyers Associations. Therese has been nominated as a Super Lawyer for over ten years and was also rated as one of the top 50 women attorneys in Northern California. I have known Therese for a long time and would highly recommend her to anyone with an employment matter. Her skills as an attorney are top-notch and she is truly an impressive person that doesn't let down."

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
