Gregory Arthur Hitzel

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!

Greg took care of my wrongful termination case. He was compassionate while I was still a mess from the shock of being wrongfully terminated, hardworking as my legal advocate, and helped me have a voice when I felt voiceless. I would highly recommend Greg. He was knowledgeable, experienced, ethical, a...nd trustworthy and I always felt like he had my best interests at heart.

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.

Greg and Sara initially investigated a case for me and we decided to file a lawsuit. The lawsuit/litigation ended up becoming extremely involved with a lot of very technical matters and many people involved. Throughout the almost three years I worked with Greg he always was on top of my case, he re...membered every detail about it (technical and not technical) and he provided HUGE emotional and technical support for me and my family. He worked on the case as if it was his own matter putting my interest ahead of anything else; he was so involved and determined that I always felt like it was the only case he was working on although I was well aware he had other clients. Greg was very obviously passionate about my case, trusted me and at the same time he was upfront with me about risks and concerns. He always understood and remembered my concerns and made sure those are thought of and cared for before making any move. He was very patient, spent a lot of time answering every question I had and listened to all of my concerns. Greg brainstormed with me on technical matters. He is very organized in the way he files documents and findings and he tracks items very efficiently making him extremely effective in complicated cases. He is very thorough with investigating the case and discoveries- I cannot imagine any fact in a case can go unnoticed by him. Greg was never shy about reaching out to his other lawyer friends to ask their opinions any time he thought there could be a benefit to my case. Greg helped close my case very effectively and he continues helping me every time I reach out to him. I have referred friend and family to his law firm and I will happily keep doing so.
