Gregory Arthur Hitzel

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.

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.

I was terminated from my employment wrongfully, I thought, and was ready to fight. Greg helped me understand that as an "At will" employee, I really didn't have much of a case. He felt a personal letter from me to the employer would be better received rather than a letter from an attorney (and less e...xpensive). He agreed to edit and make a few suggestions to my letter and as a result, I received a better severance than the company's first offer.

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.
