Outstanding Attorney
Trish provided legal and strategic advice on a difficult personnel matter my organization faced. It was a highly contentious situation involving multiple parties and claims. With her help, we obtained favorable outcomes.
Throughout the process, I was impressed with Trish’s knowledge, diligence, and commitment. She took care to thoroughly understand our concerns and gave advice that was supportive of our short- and long-term objectives.
Trish responded to all of my calls and emails very promptly and often made time to speak with me outside of business hours to talk through time-sensitive issues. I also found her fees to be extremely reasonable.
I would not hesitate to recommend Trish to any organization needing help with an employment matter.
