Superb Professional

Tracy Lemmon was my attorney in a difficult wrongful termination action. Tracy's powerful representation and compassionate personal support resulted in a satisfying settlement. Without Tracy, I could not have seen this action to conclusion. Cost-effectiveness and vigorous client advocacy are hallma...rks of Ms. Lemmon's practice. Tracy Lemmon is the advocate and attorney every client deserves.

A True California Employment Law Expert!

Tracy is a rare find. She has the unique combination of having practiced law both in-house for corporations in addition to having her own private practice. She took the time to understand the case; provided very clear and objective advice and recommended a number of options to allow me to pursue a ...successful wage claim with my former employer. Tracy is detailed and writes very compelling communications chock full of facts, details and specific requests. She knows her stuff and specializes in representing individuals (not corporations). I am please to say that my case was settled before we had to go to the Labor Board or Arbitration. I couldn't be more pleased with the outcome--and attribute her advice and counsel to the success of my outcome.

Review of Lemmon Employment Law & Conflict Resolution

Tracy Lemmon & Lemmon Employment Law & Conflict Resolution made what could've been a laborious and uncomfortable process into a smooth experience. Throughout her firms representation of my case, Tracy was able to listen to my needs, carefully navigate the challenges, help define the goals, and achiev...e those goals. She focused on my expectations, allowing us to partner together to find a fair and just resolution with my former employer. Throughout the process, I could tell she viewed litigation as an opportunity for her client to define and preserve their legal rights. She helped me achieve my goals with a former employer that was in clear violation of California Labor Laws. I highly recommend Tracy to anyone who feels they are not receiving fair treatment from their current or former employer.

High Integrity and is always looking after you

When things started to get uncomfortable with my old employer (a Fortune 500 Company), I retained Tracy Lemmon for advice and counsel during a time when my boss was not-so-subtlely pushing me out the door, telling me to enjoy a shorter commute and hen pecking my every act. Ms. Lemmon took the time t...o understand my long term goals as well as the history of my workplace issues. With her strong hand and a jointly-crafted plan to guide me, I was able to deal with the system, the process, with confidence. When my employer stopped playing fair, Ms. Lemmon was ready to jump in as my representative and she brought home the severance terms I was hoping for without anyone filing suit or any legal papers. It was such relief to move to resolution, and to be able to move on with my life. I couldn't have navigated those waters, or achieved that $$$ result, without Tracy Lemmon and Lemmon Employment Law & Conflict Resolution. 5 stars!

Excellent & Knowledgeable Employment Law Attorney

My company restructured my role and informed me that in 30 days I no longer had a job. I retained Tracy Lemmon to help me through this transition because I know she is fair and assertive and seeks the best outcome for both parties. Tracy was always responsive during the transition--she reviewed all t...he paperwork and returned my emails and phone calls promptly. I had a minor issue in getting certain final expenses reimbursed because the employer thought the law requires more detailed information than it actually does. Tracy's comprehensive knowledge of employment law and her excellent mediation skills were key in me getting the full reimbursement amount. She respectfully educated the employer on the true legal requirements and gave me solid advice on how to handle this issue. Requiring an attorney can be daunting--requiring an attorney for employment matters even more so--but Tracy makes the mediation process straightforward, manageable, and empowering. I highly recommend retaining her.

"I was co-counsel with Tracy on an unusually complex, long-running and difficult employment age-discrimination case against a law school. She impressed me at every stage with her knowledge, personal and considerate attention to the client, careful planning, reasoned and forceful advocacy, and clear communication with all parties. I'd happily work with her again and she'll be my first choice if I ever need an attorney."
