Best in town highly recommend!

Shelley responded to my inquiry right away. He helped me stand up to my former employer and answered all my questions, helped me with arbitration, and more. With his help, I was prepared and a lot less nervous. He always stayed in touch with me by email. I was so glad to have a good attorney on my... side.

He gets results

Mr. Bryant helped me when I had run out of options. He is quick to respond and goes into depth to ensure he has all the facts. He and his staff are incredibly understanding, friendly, and helped me get results fast. He reassured me during uncertain times and thoroughly answered every question that I ...had. I couldn't be happier and am super thankful for what he's done for me. He handled everything with diligence and effectively resolved matters for me. He took up my case when other firms had told me that I didn't have one and got results. Because of Mr. Bryant's efforts, I can go forward with futute employment with confidence knowing that my case was resolved with a positive outcome. I would 100% recommend his services to anyone that's needing assistance in any legal employment dispute.

Shelley Bryant

Shelley helped me with a case and was very good about keeping me informed. Things got complicated when my employer went bankrupt and started liquidating assets. Shelley used the court rules and procedures to extract a decent settlement from a Bk company. I am so glad he was my attorney. I would recom...mend Shelley.

Amazing Attorney

Shelley is an outstanding attorney. He was reassuring, articulate, knowable and effective. He made the process so much easier and gave me peace of mind . Perhaps the thing that impressed me most about Shelley was nothing was "sugar coated". He was very straight forward and told me what to expect each... step of the way.Phone calls were returned without delay; never once did I doubt I was in the best possible hands. Shelley is an excellent attorney who really goes above and beyond for his client, I'd trust him with anything, do not hesitate to call him.I would highly recommend him to everyone

The Best Attorney in the Central Valley

We trusted Shelley with our case because of his good reviews online. He always stayed in touch with me, which is rare for attorneys – they never call their clients back. I appreciated that. His office is organized and neat. He stood up to my wife's company and got a good result. The company attor...ney did not have a chance. Like most people I did not know of any good attorney for my wife’s case. I have a pre-paid attorney service through my work which I never use. So, I decided to give them a call and I found out that they only represent employers for cases like my wife’s. They did give me advise to file a complaint with the office of EEOC to get a right to sue letter from them and then hire an attorney. I did that on my own. When I was ready to sue, I did not have an attorney. I quickly learned that in the central valley there are almost no attorneys that specialize in employment law that want to represent employees. Most attorneys want to represent employers because they have the money. Employees are typically poor and can’t afford a lawyer. I spent weeks comparing all attorneys available in the central valley and Shelley Bryant stood out above everyone. What I liked about Mr. Bryant since the beginning was that he only represents employees and he is the very best!!! He is technologically savvy which was very important for us during this covid-19. We didn’t need to get out of our home. He was always there at any time of the day responding to an email, a text or a call. A lot of times it was pretty late in the evenings (9-10 pm) and he was responding to emails. He is a good listener and explains everything to the clients very well. We are very happy with the outcome and will always keep him as my family attorney as long as he is still working.
