My Legal Practice
I love representing Employees who have been unfairly treated by their employers. Although I'm also a Certified Public Accountant and can help you with taxes, disputes with the IRS and other government agencies as well as financial accounting, my passion is employment law, specifically employee rights. As a result I'm trying to laser focus my practice to that area.
There are employers in practically every industry that try to avoid paying employees what they deserve or that look the other way when there is blatant discrimination going on. Name an industry and I can tell you how employers try to cheat employees to pad the bottom line. Employers bank on the fact that their employees never find an advocate like me to stand up to them.
The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing. Edmund Burke

Above and beyond
James Pizl answered the question I posted quickly and with great detail. He was very communicative and suggested we have a conversation over the phone. We spoke on a Saturday and he again provided me with more detailed information. I am very appreciative.

Whered he go?
I gave him 3 stars because technically all you had to do was answer my question what you did a very good job of and let me know that I was in need of an attorney but when I emailed him back he never responded so I'm kind of stuck not knowing what I'm supposed to do next
Please re-email me at [email protected] or text me at 253-310-7519. I'm not aware of any emails I haven't returned but I'm concerned if your case isn't moving the way you think it should. I do get messages in Avvo that I try to return on Avvo but sometimes I'm not sure who is messaging me. Perhaps this is what happened. Make sure you leave contact info so I know an so we can connect offline.
