Excellent Wrongful Termination Attorneys

My experience with Kelly Armstrong and her team was excellent. I really appreciated having them represent me and help me with my legal claims. I was very nervous to come forward and hire an attorney for the first time and Kelly reassured me and expressed compassion for me throughout my case. She unde...rstood how hard it was for me to confront my manager and employer. I felt as if I had the strongest team helping me win my claims with great success. Give this firm a call and see what you think for yourself. I can vouch for a great experience and result.

Very satistified

I recommend Kelly Armstrong and her firm. She was very professional, knows employment law backwards and forwards including a lot of the new great laws that were recently passed in California for employees like me. Outstanding representation and result. I really enjoyed working w her and her team and ...felt like I was in excellent hands. They were also very supportive of me as they fought the other side and quickly resolved my case so I could have closure and be happy again.

Hire Kelly Armstrong!

I found her through a google search and consulted with several other firms before hiring her which was the best decision I ever made. I decided to hire her when I went to her with an employment claim, she probed me with hard hitting questions right away and took control of my case. She not only han...dled in a timely manner but made me feel as though my well being was her top priority. She is incredibly thorough and her team is incredibly efficient. You would be doing yourself a great disservice not to hire her.

Effective representation

Ms Armstrong was powerful in the representation of my case that had a favorable outcome. During the process she was supportive and easy to communicate with.

Best, Aggressive and Efficient Lawyer

I worked with Kelly Armstrong recently and was impressed with how quickly she attacked the issues and resolved my case. Sometimes I wondered if she was from New York due to her aggressive style, but I really believed she cared about me and my life, was passionate about the work she does 24-7 and she ...got me a great result. Tough, but gets results,

Sexual harassment lawyer | Jun 28

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I have known Kelly for many years, having consulted with her on several matters relating to my own practice. Kelly is highly knowledgeable about all aspects of employment law. She is truly tenacious, fighting for her clients with passion, expertise and skill. Kelly is very organized and meticulous about the quality of her work. Because she is so competent and aggressive, many defendants will just settle early on in the case, which is great for the clients and spares them all the stress and time commitments associated with protracted litigation. I would highly recommend Kelly to anyone looking for one of the best employment attorneys in San Francisco"

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.
