Discrimination Lawsuit

Glicel was my attorney during a discrimination lawsuit. As a neurodiverse individual, the entire ordeal was very difficult to deal with. Glicel was kind and understanding, and would always check in on me to see how my mental health was doing. Her empathy and care helped me through the process. She is... knowledgeable and walked me through every step. We were able to achieve a positive outcome. I am thankful for her experience and wisdom. I highly recommend Glicel.

Prompt, professional and knowledgeable

I reached out to Glicel after being abruptly terminated by my employer. Within the hour she asked me follow-up questions to better understand the nature of my dismissal and whether or not I had a basis for a case. Within two emails, she provided enough clarity and guidance that I ultimately conclud...ed that I did not have grounds for discrimination or retaliation claims. This provided me piece of mind and allowed me to move forward with my life. Although I didn't end up hiring Glicel, she was very helpful to me and I appreciate her counsel and time she spent with me. I highly recommend her.

Unemployment Insurance Issues

I am an employer who consulted with Glicel about an employee issue to get a better understanding of whether I would owe unemployment, and Glicel gave me a very prompt and thorough answer. Highly knowledgable, and very efficient, I would definitely recommend her to either side, employer or employee w...ho want to know their rights.

Superb Counsel

Glicel represented me in a wage and hour lawsuit. She was attentive, knowledgeable, and unfailingly polite. Her advice was excellent and always timely. She is a consummate professional: firm when necessary but always cordial. She speaks and acts with authority and confidence. I am extremely pleased ...with the result she achieved on my behalf.

A lawyer for the people

Glicel helped with a Wage & Hour litigation matter and did an outstanding job. The best part about working with Glicel is having the ability to communicate with her directly, as oppose to her staff. Glicel is very knowledgeable and was always available to discuss my case, whether it was by telephon...e or through e-mail. This made me feel that my case was especially important. She did not make me feel that I was just "one of her many clients" but actually someone with a case she believed in and wanted to fight for. At the end, the case concluded with a favorable result. I would hire Glicel again in a heartbeat.

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.
