Posted by anonymous | June 21, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Discrimination

A kind-hearted advocate for his clients; a cold-blooded adversary for the other side.

Bryan Vereschagin actually reached out to me, in a disability discrimination lawsuit against my former employer. When speaking to several different attorneys, there was always this sense of classism and division between me--a lay person with no legal education--and them--perhaps a Stanford gradu...ate, or something of that nature. When I talked to Bryan, that class divide was immediately eliminated. He was talking to me, on my level. I cannot express how much I appreciated that. Bryan called me, and he was warm, and cordial. "I'm a straight shooter," he began our consultation with. He had reviewed the discovery file in full before our consultation, and left no detail out of the consultation. He had a full understanding of what exactly happened, and who was responsible. That was a first, since most lawyers would get kind of frustrated by the complexity of the situation, and the different "characters" involved in this lawsuit. Bryan was warm, congenial and reassuring. He knew this was a wrongful termination and pointed me in the right direction. I wish I could have hired him, but timing was of the essence as my employer moved quickly to blacklist me in the industry. Even after we decided to have someone else represent me, he kept in touch and spoke to me like a friend. When we were closing our dialogue by email, I asked him about how he made it to the top. This would probably annoy most lawyers, since it's not related to a case and not related to generating money out of an hourly rate, from a retainer fee. Thanks Bryan..I'm considering just copying his career path to make it to the top. In our communications, I could tell the man knew what he was doing. He was a warm and kind advocate for me, and yet I know he would be a cold-blooded, results-driven adversary for the other side. I hope you'll excuse my breaching of professionalism here, but let me say this.. I'm pretty sure you're considering hiring this man to sue an employer. At that point, the employer has likely violated the law at your expense; they have probably taken enough rope to hang themselves with. Now if you get Mr. Vereschagin in the mix, you can picture that he is kicking the chair out from under them after the noose is around their neck. He has never lost an employment case, and is well-qualified to set your employer straight when they violate your rights. I can't thank this guy enough. Best lawyer I've talked to thus far. Just a really good vibe, really good guy, but most importantly--he will get things done. He was, in every aspect, exceptional. I hope to be in touch with him next time I need to file a lawsuit, and at the rate I'm going, this might be sometime in the near future. --RM

"I The space allotted for this endorsement is simply insufficient. I have had many opportunities to work with attorneys from other firms and from other states. None has been as enlightening, educational, and beneficial as my involvement with Bryan. He is aggressive, sincere, and thoughtful in his approach. In the course of what was a very complicated mutlistate, mutliparty litigation Bryan was always able to see the path through the forest. Like a bloodhound he could track the claims, parties and cases to their lair and then with a keen legal mind he was able to extract a very successful resolution for all of the Plaintiffs in the matter. I would refer any client to Bryan without a moment of hesitation, and would gladly turn my own case over to such capable and qualified hands. Simply and directly put, Bryan William Vereschagin is one of the top legal minds I have had the pleasure of working with in my nearly 15 years of practice."
