This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Where do I even begin with Talia, Amy, and their incredible team?

I came to them during one of the hardest times in my life, after being wrongfully terminated and needing to file a formal complaint against my employer. I felt lost, anxious, and defeated. From the very first conversation, they made me feel safe, supported, and confident in standing up for myself. Ta...lia is an absolute powerhouse. She’s sharp, fearless, and incredibly thorough. She did not let the defendants come up for air; she applied pressure where it was needed and never backed down. She leaves no stone unturned, no detail overlooked and fought for me every single step of the way. Because of her relentless dedication, we came out on top with a life-changing settlement. Amy was equally amazing. She’s kind, very knowledgeable, understanding, and always willing to take the time to explain things. She supported me emotionally through the process, calming my nerves and offering reassurance when I needed it most. Her compassion and knowledge were invaluable, and I genuinely consider her a friend after this experience. Their entire team was responsive, professional, and truly cared about my well-being. I always felt seen, heard, and respected throughout the entire process. I cannot thank Talia, Amy, and their team enough for their strength, empathy, and determination. If you ever need someone to fight for you, this is the team you want in your corner. They are simply the best!!!

A strong adevocate with a deep sense of empathy

Talia and the team at Beacon Employment law are absolutely fantastic. Not only did they provide detailed and excellent legal services, but they centered their work around providing empathy and support during a very challenging situation. Talia was always up front about different options and approache...s to my case. Her clear communication around realistic expectations with regard to time frame and what to expect was helpful and calming in an incredibly stressful circumstance. I always felt comfortable to ask any questions I had, and the team took the time to explain different processes, terms, etc to me so that I could make informed decisions. I hope I don't need employment legal services again, but if I do Talia and her team will be the first ones I contact.

A Lawyer With a Heart for Her Clients

I found myself in need of an employment lawyer. I called three or four lawyers. Beacon was the first, and only, firm to return my call. Everybody at Beacon was great to work with. Talia listened and was compassionate to my situation. At one or two times, she was firm but gentle when she needed to be ...with me.

True Union and Social Justice Advocate

Talia and her team supported me through an incredibly challenging situation after I had to file a formal complaint against my employer. She and her team helped me feel safe speaking up, and they worked hard to secure the best settlement possible. While working through my case with them, they were sup...er responsive to my emails and phone calls, which I greatly appreciated because it showed me they had my back. Throughout my experience, I felt seen, heard, and, most importantly, validated by Talia and her team. Their care, empathy, and willingness to fight for me were crucial as I tried to heal and move on from my experience.

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I have worked closely with Talia in the past and she is one of the most passionate defenders of employee rights I have ever met. She is smart and skilled, but also supremely tenacious because she empathizes deeply with workers who have been treated unfairly in the workplace. Her concern for equity shows in the care she provides to every client. Anyone fortunate enough to have her as their attorney is in very good hands."
