Posted by Cam | November 03, 2023 | Wrongful Termination

Tells it to you straight

I was unexpectedly terminated from my job of several years and felt very unsure on what to do. I was referred to Hillary, who told it to me straight about the Pro's and Con's of moving forward with a case. Talking to them felt very easy and they asked me solid questions that helped me understand what... a case would look like going forward. During the consultation, Hillary was quick to understand what entities might be involved as well as what level of court this case could be taken to. They made it clear what kinds of benefits I could receive from winning a case like mine, but there could be some serious professional aftermath that could follow my career whether I win or lose. At the end of the call I realized that while I was terminated and my life wouldn't get put back together right away, I am asking the right kinds of questions to the right people. She made me conclude that the circumstances that led up to my termination weren't in my control and that I had at least taken the correct steps to doing the right thing.

I highly recommend working with Hilary

I had a great experience with Hilary. I needed support after unexpectedly losing my job, but I was anxious about what I was getting into. Hilary helped me understand my options and handled the execution. At the same time, her style and approach made me feel like I was always in control of the process.... I was very happy with the results she achieved. I would work with her again in a heartbeat.

Highly recommend Ms. Hammell

I had the opportunity to consult with Ms. Hammell in regard to employment issue in the health care industry. On first impression she asked all the right questions and offered me an honest opinion about my situation. With great attention to detail and care she outlined few strategies for me, which all...owed me to make an informed decision about my career. Ms. Hammell is dedicated and honest person and recommend her services.

Absolutely Knowledgeable

I needed to consult with an attorney regarding a sexual assault matter. Hilary spoke to me for some time, giving me the information needed to confirm how beneficial it would be to pursue my case. Hilary gave honest and forthright information of the pros and cons. I had a feeling that to proceed, wo...uld have great pitfalls, but could not find any attorney who would actually discuss the facts, of the case. Hillary Hammell was that attorney who actually spoke openly about the case. The honesty she gave was invaluable to me. And for that honesty, I am recommending her to anyone who wants an opinion / consultation on any sexual assault situation. I am indebted to her knowledge and expertise in helping me clarify my questions. Thanks to her, my life will continue healthy and happy.
