Client

I hired Greg to review a severance agreement. His advice was practical, thorough, and to the point. He is also very responsive so I would recommend him wholeheartedly.

Huge Help

I hired Greg to advise me during a stormy severance negotiation with an employer. He provided direct feedback on the content of my communications, overall tone, and legal pitfalls to avoid. Additionally, his advice on tactics and pacing at each round were critical to my success. Throughout the wh...ole process, he heard my needs clearly, gave direct, effective advice, and always kept me focused on the goal of a successful compromise. The final compensation was 50% more than I expected, but beyond that it really gave me back a sense of agency in the process. Highly recommended!

Excelled lawyer, truly cares about workers and outcomes

Greg negotiated a severance for me and did a great job - I was made whole after being let go. He is transparent about the particulars of your issues and more than fair with cost.

The Perfect Approach, The Best Outcome!

Greg represented me in an employment dispute which involved complicated issues. There were certain unanticipated alleged facts which completely took me by surprise. I consulted with Greg and he was extremely knowledgeable. This was after I called over 15 attorneys in the Seattle area. Greg really ...knew how to connect and explain my options to me. Among the many qualified attorneys I spoke to, Greg was the only one who offered true guidance. Greg implemented an effective and expedient approach which resulted in a successful outcome in my favor. His legal expertise in the matter was exceptional. He treated opposing counsel with professionalism and respect. I believe it is this level of integrity and civility which resulted in a far better outcome than I had hoped to reach. Also, he fully kept me informed throughout the process and turned a very stressful situation into something I was able to understand. I immediately felt peace and relief. He consistently presented my options and empowered me to make decisions I did not know were available to me. The candor and integrity throughout the representation demonstrated his extensive knowledgeable and experience in this practice area. I highly recommend Greg and would recommend him to my family and friends and anyone who needs employment law counsel.

Excellent Advice

I consulted with Teller & Associates regarding my separation from a former employer. My situation was complicated and quite unique, in that I had already gone through an arbitration and years later the EEOC began their own, separate investigation. Greg was very professional, friendly, highly knowledg...eable, offered great advice and helped me navigate through the entire process. The EEOC decided in my favor and my former employer was held accountable for their wrongdoings. Working with Greg was a great experience and I highly recommend him to anyone with questions/concerns about employment related matters involving sexual harassment, retaliation and wrongful termination.
