Jean E. Huffington's Lawyer Endorsements
"I am honored to given Jean my highest praise and a strong endorsement. Jean and I met when we had an employment discrimination case against one another. Jean was a strong advocate for her client, fiercely advocating throughout the discovery process, motions practice, and the entire litigation. She was always well prepared and demonstrated a commanding knowledge of employment discrimination law. After the litigation concluded, Jean and I have remained in contact over the years. She has always been polite and professional. Jean is a great attorney who cares deeply about helping her clients!"
"I endorse this lawyer."
"I met Jean several years ago when she was recruited and hired to work at the firm I was with. since then we have both opened our own firms. Jean is an excellent attorney and has achieved impressive results for her clients. I respect Jean's work to the degree that I call her to consult on cases and refer cases to her that my firm cannot handle for whatever reason."
"Jean is an exceptionally bright, articulate, intelligent, calm & thorough lawyer. Her ability to readily size-up issues and produce top-quality results on behalf of her clients make her the "go to" counsel in employment law. I can not recommend her highly enough."
"I endorse this lawyer's work. She recently receoverd a multimillion dollar verdict against the State of Washington in a three week jury trial. The verdict was upheld on appeal. Jean is a fabulous attorney with great demeanor and an outstanding advocate. "
