Rory B O'Sullivan

Rory helped me recover over $10k of unemployment benefits which was previously denied to me by ESD WA. I’m a long-time remote worker who decided to briefly pause my job search to focus on taking care of my spouse, who had back surgery. I also traveled overseas while continuously looking for remote wo...rk. Before hiring Rory, I researched how I could appeal my case on my own. There weren’t a lot of good sources online, and since this was my first time claiming any unemployment benefits, I decided to hire a lawyer. From the first free initial interview until the hearing day, Rory has been professional, patient, and easy to talk to. He educated me on the appeal process and set realistic expectations without overpromising. I appreciate his responsiveness and graciousness in extending our meetings as needed, which reflects his commitment to exceptional service and client satisfaction. During my hearing, he provided references to the judge of previous winning cases that were similar to my case. I believe those references greatly helped my cause. I found out about pro-bono or donation-based services like his after hiring him. That could be an option too. Knowing Rory used to work as an Administrative Law Judge on unemployment insurance appeals gave me confidence that paying for his services was worth it.

Rory O'Sullivan helped me navigate my ESD overpayment-repayment situation to success. He was calm and concise and coached me on how to answer potential questions. When the hearing call finally took place, I felt prepared and confident. At the completion of the call, the judge complimented Mr. O...'Sullivan for being so prepared. A few mornings later, he emailed saying we won! I can not imagine going through this process without Mr. O'Sullivan by my side.

I would 100% recommend! He was very professional and very knowledgable about the process/system. Mine was a long shot since I was claiming after 3 years but he diligently took time to understand the situation , quick responses for any questions i may have and helped preparing on how to answer during ...the hearing. I also wanted to mention after the hearing was done, he went above and beyond on walking me thro how to file the weekly claim, making sure I had all that I needed to file my claims and received my money. He is very kind and definitely cares for his clients. Really thankful for the extra help!
