Highly Recommend

Shelley Bryant was an incredible resource during a difficult time. He was able to review my documents efficiently and answered all of my questions quickly by email. With all the uncertainty from this pandemic, I was happy to have the assistance of an employment expert on my side. I will certainly be ...referring others to him!

Posted by Tom | April 12, 2020 | Hired Attorney | Employment & Labor

Awesome attorney. Highly recommended!

Razor sharp, honest, fair, and incredibly responsive; if you need help, Shelley Bryant and Bryant Whitten, LLP will fight for you every step of the way. I was referred to Shelley by another friend/attorney who thought I might have a case, but also said I should work with someone who specialized in re...presenting employees with employer disputes. Without Shelley’s help, I truly believe that I would have been outgunned by an army of the employer's attorneys and a near unlimited amount of venture capital backing that would have tried to grind my case on for years and years. Shelley however, is a driver and he’s incredibly efficient; he knows how to keep things moving and avoid the delays and gamesmanship tactics that your employer's giant law firm might attempt. He values his own time and likewise will never waste yours. Whenever it was needed, he made sure I was updated with calls, emails, and text messages. At the conclusion of my case, I honestly felt like I was represented by the better attorney. Shelley was ahead of the other counsel every step of the way, anticipating the correct timing of events and keeping in front of everything. Overall, working with Shelley and Bryant Whitten, LLP gave me great confidence in the midst of a very awkward and uncomfortable situation. While I hope to never need an employment attorney again, I’m so glad I was referred to Shelley - I trust him and his firm and would highly recommend them to anyone who wants an amazing attorney that will fight for their rights.

Attorney that will stand up for you

Shelley responded to my inquiry right away. There was never a time that Shelley didn’t respond the questions that I had. I was able to be confident in deposition because Shelley helped me prepare without him helping me prepare I would have been very nervous. I would recommend Shelley to anyone who’s ...looking for a great employment discrimination attorney.

Excellent attorney

I had an employment discrimination case. Shelley responded to my inquiry right away. He told me what to expect so that I was a lot less nervous. He always stayed in touch with me by email and or phone. I was so glad that I had a good attorney because he stood up to the company's attorney. Any que...stions I had regarding my case he was always available to answer promptly. He is honest and clear.

Excellent attorney

I had an employment discrimination case with a company in the bay area. I knew I had a case but I could not convince 4-5 attorneys that I initially contacted and I was getting convinced that maybe I cannot do anything despite the severe discrimination I had encountered. Then I found Shelley based on ...his great reviews. After contacting him, he carefully reviewed my case and pointed out the possibilities in my case. During the 6 months it took to resolve the case successfully, he was always quick to respond to my emails, always within 24 hours. I could not be happier with his performance. In addition, he is super ethical and fare regarding the his fees. I would highly recommend him.
