Civil and Environmental Engineer

Greg was responsive and empathetic. He was diligent in reviewing all aspects of my case and made me feel comfortable in an uncomfortable situation. His advice went a long way towards winning my case.

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.

Truly the best, knowledgeable, caring, professional.

Hiring an attorney is not like hiring a plumber. If you hire the wrong plumber you can usually reverse it. If you hire the wrong attorney, you may never be able to recover. Hiring Greg, and Teller and Associates was clearly the right choice for me to handle my wrongful termination case. This w...as not an easy case, and for me, quite emotional. Both Greg and Stephen really went to bat for me. When I didn't understand, they explained. With any attorney, the proof is in the end, what was the outcome. In my case, they did a really amazing job. Where it counted, we won. I would highly recommend Greg, and Teller and Associates.

Resolved my complicated and difficult lawsuit with kindness and integrity! Savvy legal powerhouse with a heart of gold.

My harassment/retaliation lawsuit was incredibly complicated and difficult for me both personally and professionally. I chose to retain Teller and Associates based on both their experience and conservative approach to helping me obtain a positive resolution. Greg worked tirelessly going through thous...ands of documents on my behalf. His kindness and patience throughout the process helped me a great deal in dealing with the many losses associated with my situation. He took the time to listen and follow up with me and guided me in the right direction without fail. Greg Hitzel and the Team at Teller and Associates were the perfect choice for a great resolution!

Satisfied

Workplace discrimination is a pernicious ordeal and finding a lawyer can feel like another painful step. Greg was receptive, supportive, and forthright from our first conversation. As things progressed, I was impressed by his calm against a particularly powerful and cutthroat corporation. I believe w...e were able to reach the best outcome, and I feel as good about the experience as one can reasonably expect in such a stressful situation. Although I hope to never have occasion to do so, I would not hesitate to seek his advice again.
