Gets the job done!

There is no doubt that engaging in a legal matter will be stressful and time consuming. It is at a time like that to hire the best in the business. I was a client of Mr. Bryant's and hiring him was the best decision I could have made. During the entire case my stress was reduced by Mr. Bryant's knowl...edge of every step of the process and timely communication. Mr. Bryant is an expert in employment law so you don't have to be. I highly recommend hiring Mr. Bryant to lead your fight to right a wrong. You will be glad you did!

Shelley Bryant allowed me heal!

I was in-house attorney for a very large corporation in the Central Valley of California. After a serious bike crash, they refused medical leave for a traumatic brain injury and separated shoulder. While I was supposed to be avoiding stress, they denied my FMLA right to a written guarantee of reins...tatement. They continued retaliating against and harassing me for trying to exercise those rights and for filing complaints of discrimination and for back pay. I chose Shelley because he's the best employee attorney in the area and I didn't have to pay unless he got paid. He took on one of the most prominent employment law firms in the San Francisco Bay Area. He conducted a thorough investigation of my personnel records, did an outstanding job with discovery, and successfully negotiated a resolution that exceeded my expectations. His competence allowed me to finally heal and move on to the next chapter of my life. Thank you, Shelley.

Shelley Bryant

Mr. Bryant was a tremendous help to me in settling my case! He was extremely accessible to me and gave me expert advice in a timely manner. He is very calm and collected, and knew how to handle my fear and anxiety. He is very knowledgeable with labor laws and EDD guidelines and is not afraid to give ...you his honest opinion. Mr. Bryant even took the time to return my frantic phone calls and/or emails while on vacation in Europe! His staff is very friendly and willing to help in any way. Most importantly, Mr. Bryant cares about what is best for his clients, and acts in their best interests even at a personal loss. I would without hesitation recommend his expertise to anyone who is in need of an attorney for work related situations.
