Rory was patient, attentive, honest, and knowledgeable. He gave me an excellent understanding of my case and a lot of clarity during an extremely difficult time. I highly recommend him for anyone looking to sort out an employment issue.

Great attorney who helped my family get through a rough time

The work that Rory did, as an attorney who knows the law and as a compassionate person who cared about us, made a big difference in our lives. I can say definitively that Rory helped us find the closure that we needed and gave us a chance to rebuild our lives. It's almost never a good thing when ...you need to hire an attorney, but after talking to Rory for the first time, my wife and I knew we have the right person to represent us. Rory impressed us right away, he is passionate about employment law and was honest about our chances. We needed someone like him to handle my employment case - a complex case involving loss pay, equity, bonus and a hostile work environment. It was very important for us to have an attorney who believes in my story and help me through the emotional distress that came with it. He struck a balance between keeping me in the loop on legal matters while being mindful with I was going through. On top of that, I appreciated his commitment to get the best result for my case. Rory made sure we understood the strategy and tactics through out the case. When we get stressed and concerned, he reassured us in a very direct but caring way. His line was "leave the stress to me and let me know if you want to talk". On top of that, he was very responsive and always get back to me when I needed to talk to him. He showed his understanding of the law and when he contacted my employer, they had no choice but to respond. He predicted what their next moves would be and planned accordingly. Never once we lost confidence with his (and his partners') work. As for the result, we avoided trial and settled after mediation. The outcome of the case is a settlement with an amount that is more than we could hope for (5x) . While the settlement was great, the feeling of having Rory and his partners helping us win was even greater. If you hire Rory (although I hope you never have to), you'll get a real person who genuinely cares about you who happens to be a great attorney. Win or lose, I sincerely believe that Rory gives you the best chance to get what you deserved. Good luck.

Rory Know Employment Law

I'm so thankful I was referred to Rory. Rory was able to negotiate my settlement and get me 3x what the initial offer was. Rory is up to date on employment law where many company lawyers are not. This gave us a real advantage in arguing for an increase. Rory took the time to explain things to me ...in layman's terms so that I understood my case thoroughly. Additionally, he went over all evidence with a fine tooth comb, making sure that he had all the facts before engaging in a conversation with my previous employer. He had a very calm demeanor but you could also tell that if he needed to engage in a fight, he was prepared to do so. He is diligent, thorough, explanatory and knows the letter of the law. Would highly recommend.

Can't recommend Rory enough

Let me say right off the bat: if you have a relatively complex legal matter related to salary, bonus, or equity, Rory is your guy. I was let go from my job and when I requested my bonus and vested equity, my former employer clammed up. I brought my case to several lawyers who said that my case wa...s too difficult, or not winnable. Where other lawyers shot me down, Rory listened carefully and reviewed every line of every document I sent him. He never stopped believing in me or my case. Throughout the process, he made me feel comfortable with the different legal matters at hand, carefully explaining them. He indulged my amateur ideas based on my own research and without condescension or skepticism reviewed them on their own merit. While I hope not to use Rory's services again, I feel at peace knowing that if something were to come up, I know exactly who I'd reach out to. Thanks Rory for getting me the result I deserved!
