Posted by Misty | April 27, 2018 | Hired Attorney | Employment & Labor

Excellent Attorney

I retained Mr. Pizl to help with bringing a suit regarding the separation from my former employer & to aid with obtaining unemployment. He is extremely efficient & professional. He is thorough & very good with communicating every step of the process, including having a quick response time to my inqui...ries. I could not be happier with Mr. Pizl, and highly recommend him.

Awesome advice and late at night

I had a specific question about the way my boss removed me from the schedule but he didn’t fire me, I posted this at 11:30 PM on a Saturday night and within 10 minutes James replied with some very sound advice about filing unemployment and that I may be entitled to missed wages from breaks and lunch...es etc. Based on the speediness of James service he will be my first call in the future, I will be recommending him to everybody I know. Nowadays it seems hard to find somebody with a sense of customer service especially an 18 year attorney Who probably wouldn’t make much money on a case like mine yet he took the time out of his Saturday evening to reply with a very helpful answer, true professional.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
