This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Compassionate and Thorough

Andrea helped me navigate unemployment compensation after I was fired. I am very grateful for her help and advice.

Dedicated, compassionate and all together an amazing attorney!

Andrea represented me during an employment discrimination charge. When we first met I felt at ease immediately and was relieved that she listened so intently to each detail of my story. During the whole process she displayed incredible compassion and kindness. I believe she always went the extra mile... to make me feel confident especially during those high-stress moments. She helped me settle my case quickly. I feel I couldn't have chosen a better attorney and I can't say enough wonderful things about Andrea!

Excellent representation, communication and action....

I want to thank your firm for the help you have provided me in bringing a resolution and a conclusion through one of the most challenging time periods of my life. Andrea gave me the confidence to trust in her on a professional level as well as a personal level. Her interest and passion in resol...ving my issue was just as great, if not greater, than my own. I knew I could trust her and the firm. Stephen's negotiating skills, expertise, and passion for justice along with Andreas expertise and understanding of my specific case, provided for the perfect team and ended in a more than excellent result. Because of Andrea and Stephens hard work and expertise, I can move on in my life, and for that I am the most thankful. Thank you Andrea and Stephen for all your hard work! It is deeply appreciated and will never be forgotten. An extremely satisfied client;)

Helpful on unemployment case regarding wrongful dismissal

Andrea was very helpful in an appeal case with the Employment Security Department. I would recommend her for future employment law assistance.

Client Feedback

Andrea has represented me on two occasions. First, in a unemployment compensation hearing and secondly, when negotiating a settlement agreement with my former employer. Not only was Andrea well prepared for the hearing, she also helped me organize my thoughts so I was able to tell my story in a cle...ar, concise and logical fashion. Additionally, she was a strong advocate when negotiating my settlement agreement. I greatly appreciate her attention to detail, responsiveness, easy manner and the positive attitude she displays from the moment you walk into her office.

"A victim of employment discrimination would be in good hands with Andrea. I have known Andrea for several years, but have gotten to know her better through our shared time on the Board for the Unemployment Law Project. I respect her passion for this type of work and her intellect. I often refer clients to her when my office is too busy to take on new matters because I know they will be treated well."
