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.

Posted by Allen | November 03, 2023 | Hired Attorney | Wrongful Termination

Talia IS your solution.

I worked for a very large corporate GIANT, that everyone knows. They wrongfully terminated me, so I thought, but wasn't sure. I didn't know what to do, and I was just gonna "go with it".. . . however, very many people I spoke with (after working blood sweat and tears for this company for 17 years, to...ld me to hire an attorney). I live in a small town, but I needed a powerful attorney, not a "local one". I decided to browse online,I sought lawfirms in the Portland Oregon area, about 200 miles away, and found "Albies Stark and Guerriero", and decided to call them. After telling Talia about what happened, she went right to work on it. Surprisingly, Talia took me as a client, at no cost, and we went up against this greedy, massive, corporate giant. Not only did I walk away with a nice lump sum, but Talia fought tooth and nail to teach em' a lesson! TOTALLY GRATIFIED.

Unlawful Workplace Practices

Talia took my case against a large, well-funded tech company who is known for stomping the "little guy" - and she stomped back. I'm so impressed; she's incisive, brilliant, thorough, patient, and straightforward. She single-handedly guided me through the hardest thing I've ever lived through personal...ly or professionally and I cannot recommend her enough.

Highly Qualified, Professional Lawyer

I would recommend Talia to anyone looking for a plaintiff-side employment attorney. From our first contact, she listened, asked solid questions, and developed a strategy that would work to my benefit. She was very responsive along the way and took the time to thoroughly answer any and all questions. ... She supported me during every step of the process and was able to get me the settlement I was seeking in a timely manner. Talia is incredibly smart, kind, and a true advocate for justice!

The Light at the End of the Tunnel

I came to Talia lost and confused, in need of her help. She helped support me and give me all the information to make the best choices for me and my situation. She was very upbeat and relate-able. She never stopped believing in me. When I felt no one believed me or listened to me she was there, doing... everything she could. I really appreciated her help. It was a year and half until the end and she was there every step of the way. If I could chose all over again it would still be her!

Employment and labor lawyer | May 04

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."
