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.

ADR Professional

Shelley helped me negotiate a severance. He always responded to me without delay. He reviewed my severance agreement and provided great advice. I felt like my attorney was better than the company’s attorney and there was no way they could take advantage of me. I am so grateful he did not charge f...or this and just wanted to help me out of a bad situation. He cares. I am very appreciative of his help.

Highly recommended! Very personable too!

As a senior employee, I was issued a letter of intent to terminate from a very large organization in CA for matters that were, arbitrary, undocumented, targeted, and discriminatory. After submitting my claims response to Shelley, he helped me re-craft a responsible request to my contingencies (includ...ing adding more I had not thought of). The organization was not willing to mutually agree, Shelley called them, and the next week the employer's attorney agreed to all my requests. Including a large severance. Without the help, availability, and knowledge of Mr. Bryant I would not have been confident about my abilities. I highly recommend him for services, weather its to review a claims agreement, needed legal advice to pursue justice, or any matters related to your employment goals. Lastly, above all the stress, worry, and confusion I felt in dealing with this, Shelley always spoke with humanity and made me feel that I was a real person, under stress, and eased my feelings through his polite and kind hearted emails/replies. I can't thank him enough for helping me close the chapter with a successful result!

Best Lawyer

When I first contacted Shelley he responded to my inquiry right away. The first thing he told me was to be honest with him so I was; he was very patient with me from day one. He always stayed in touch with me by email. When it was time for me deposition he told me expect so I wouldn’t feel nervous, I... was so glad that I had a good attorney because he stood up to the company's attorney.
