Posted by Nicole | September 16, 2024 | Hired Attorney | Wrongful Termination

Very professional!

Patty Rose was retained by my daughter in a wrongful termination dispute with her employer. Patty was recommended by another attorney that I know here in Olympia who told us that she was very knowledgeable in these types of cases. Patty is an extrememly busy person but she took the time to drive all ...the way down from Seattle to meet with us. We were so impressed with her professionalism on this case. Patty is a professional and certainly went above and beyond everything we expected. She eventually won the case for my daughter who was then reimbursed funds that had been paid to ESD. She also proved to the company involved that they cannot mis-treat employees like this. This is why I give her a 5 star rating. We could not be happier with the outcome and it really bothers me to read these negative opinions. I think maybe sometimes people have unreasonable expectations especially with someone who is as busy as she is.

heartily recommend Ms. Rose

Ms Rose was great to work with and came through with excellent results for my case. In addition, she was very flexible in her hours to accommodate my needs. She was also extremely supportive such as through her generosity of letting me use her office equipment at times! Ms Rose was very knowledgea...ble about law related to my case and always acted very professionally.

An Attorney Who Really Cares About Working People

Patty Rose represents me in an ongoing employment case that involves wrongful termination as a result of whistle-blowing and workplace harassment. I sought her out initially simply because she had done such a great job representing my wife during an employment dispute several years ago. Patty... is very knowledgeable about the law and takes the time to explain things in a manner that anyone can grasp and understand, which is an important aspect for people who are undergoing the stress and hardship that labor & employment problems can bring. Most impressively, Patty goes beyond mere attorney/client representation, as she is very much an inspired and dedicated advocate for all issues relating to employment and labor laws, particularly those that effect working people of all classes. (Think of her as your David who is willing to stand up to the Goliath that is the employer who has treated you badly). She has my highest recommendation and you will be in very good hands with her as your attorney.

Employment law is a very fact-specific area with lots of options; I always try to make the various options seem less complex and happy I succeeded here. Patty

Understands Employment Discrimination Law

Ms. Rose demonstrated to me that she cares beyond expectations and thoroughly understands her field of law. Best understanding of Federal Employment Disability Discrimination that I have ever found.

The federal EEO process is one of the most tortured ones out there and am always glad to help people weave their way through its many twists and turns. Patty
