Great Lawyer

I was a client of Greg Skidmore, an attorney at Mercer Law Group. I am a former Federal Employee, and filed a formal EEOC complaint. Greg quickly got up to speed with my case, and knew exactly how to proceed. Greg worked with me to achieve a favorable outcome through the EEOC process that was beyond ...my expectations. Greg Skidmore patiently guided me through this long and complicated process, and was able to both overturn the Federal Agency's initial dismissal of my case, and then achieve a settlement. He strategically planned for contingencies in case certain milestones in the process didn't result in favorable outcomes. Like most attorneys, Greg has a busy caseload. But he consistent gave so much attention to my case that I often felt like his only client. Greg asked relevant questions and request for information that resulted in a favorable outcome in the quickest possible time. I give Greg Skidmore my highest recommendation.

Saved Retirement

I was looking for a skilled law team to be able to take on a Seattle area billion dollar company who were trying to end my 28 year career because I was 59 years old and they were trying to avoid paying me my 30 year pensions and the benefits I was due. During the last 4 years of my employment I was ...worked hundreds of hours of overtime to tire me out while being roughed up by my three supervisors. By the time I made it to Gregory Skidmore and his team I was literally hanging by a thread under the threat of termination. Gregory immediately took me under legal protection so I could take a medical leave and recover from a near collapse from all of the abuse I received from my employer. When I recovered, Gregory and I were able to go forward with my case, meet with the Workplace Responsibility representative and not only stop the billion dollar company from firing me, but Gregory and his team recovered all my retirement benefits and two months of administrative leave so I could make it through the year and get my full retirement. I would have been happy with that settlement, but Gregory’s team also negotiated an additional year’s salary to help me pay for the retirement gap until I reach 62. The skills and quality of Gregory Skidmore’s team are unsurpassed and if you need legal help, you can count on Gregory!

Great service

Greg helped me negotiate a severance agreement with my former employer. He represented my interests well and negotiated favorable terms on my behalf. Excellent follow-through and communication so I knew exactly where things stood.
