Smart, Communicative, and Kind Legal Help!!

Greg and his team worked tirelessly over 2 years to resolve our Employment Wage cases. He is fair, communicative and kind with his clients; and firm and assertive with his opposition. I would highly recommend his services to anyone who needs legal aid or advice. Thank you Rekhi & Wolk!!

Thorough, competent, and hardworking attorney!

I retained Greg to assist me with filing an unequal pay claim. This was one of the most difficult times in my life. From the minute I picked up the phone to consult with Greg, I realized that I was going to be in good hands. Greg and his legal staff were/are phenomenal. Anytime I had questions ...about my case, he promptly and thoroughly answered them. Greg also did not shy away from explaining the weaknesses in my case. This is something I find to be very admirable in the legal field. Greg is honest and upfront, which I truly appreciated. As an attorney myself, I knew I needed to retain someone with expertise in employment law. The legal services I received were above and beyond my expectations. At all stages of my case Greg thoroughly explained the law to me and addressed all my questions. Greg helped me obtain a just resolution to what was arguably one of the most difficult periods of time in my life. I was able to find closure because Greg and his firm were on my side. I highly recommend Greg's legal services.

Class Action

The firm of Rehkhi & Wolk, specifically Greg Wolk, recently represented me as one of 4 plaintiffs in a class action suit filed with the United States District Court for the Western District of Washington, "Mendis, et al. v. Schneider National Carriers, Inc.", regarding failure to pay wages owed to th...e plaintiffs and members of the related class. The efforts of Mr. Wolk led to a most favorable result for the plaintiffs and the related class, even though the defendant was a formidable and well-financed corporation. Mr. Wolk was extremely well prepared, helpful, and forthcoming about all aspects of the case. All members of the firm were professional, patient, and courteous throughout. Integrity and ethics are clearly held as a top priority by the firm. I highly recommend the firm and Mr. Wolk.

Thank you Greg!

Greg and his team were incredibly kind and understanding AND very very helpful. I came to them with very little background knowledge and they made me feel comfortable and prepared to handle the situation in a way that allowed me to protect myself. The were able to help me navigate a situation in wh...ich a group of employees were suing my former employer. I did not know my rights as someone who was not actually involved in the suit, and I also did not know how to best respond when their lawyer reached out. Greg was able to answer my questions succintly and in a way that made sense to somebody with no legal background. I am so grateful to them and would recommend them to anybody!

Great Attorney!

I am writing on behalf of the class to convey my absolute gratitude for the thorough, timely, and engaged work you did on behalf of myself and the class whom you represented in litigation involving employer unethical manipulation of employee wages, and wage compensation. Despite the case being diffi...cult and time consuming, Greg and Hardeep made themselves immediately available for questions, and successfully navigated the employer's challenging ethics and ongoing deception with laser focus and intention. They continue to work toward a final conclusion and have maintained their pace despite the length of time it has taken for resolution. These guys and their team are true heroes. Thank you ever so much, Lisa

Relationship: Co-worker

"I worked with Mr. Wolk for four years as co-workers and presently I work with Mr. Wolk on a continuing basis as colleagues in the community. I have personally observed Mr. Wolk to be thoughtful, thorough, and tenacious. I have observed him to listen carefully to the client's needs and act responsively. Based on my experience, he genuinely cares about the well-bring of his clients from both a legal and a life perspective. He remains respectful to other lawyers and judges even as he acts zealously in the client's interest. He is well-versed in the latest developments in employment law. He is a valuable partner to me as a lawyer in brainstorming solutions. He is even-tempered and makes decisions based on logic and strategy."
