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

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.

Quick and Pointent

Glen Bryant gave me additional information about a scenario that I was reviewing based on possible workplace threats. And allowed me to prepare my information sources towards identifying these resources in this certain instance.

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!
