Business negotiatons, labor, employment, hiring, contract and property disputes are areas in which I am well acquainted. I believe that employers have an obligation to ensure that their workplace is free from discrimination and that they are current in the laws to which they are obligated. Preventive litigation in placing safeguards yields a win-win for all.

Extremely responsive and very helpful

I referred Beverly to a family member for a discrimination matter. She very capably assessed my second hand information and provided excellent assistance to resolve the matter. If I had a similar matter, I would want her in my corner.

I welcome all referrals . It is often an emotional time when a relative hears the pain experienced by another relative in a working environment. Understandably, s/he wants to provide aid and comfort. to that relative who is injured or a victim of discrimination, harassment or wrongful termination. An attorney has the responsibility to explain to the client that the relative breaks the attorney client privilege if s/he attends meetings with the client and therefore it is important to empathize with the client and share that the attorney must interview the client without that relative present or the relative can be called as a witness and will be subpoenaed to disclose the confidential conversation. I was fortunate to provide this explanation to the client and her relative. I thanked the relative for her continued support of the client and suggested other ways than to want to attend the attorney client meetings that she could assist and be supportive of her relative.

Fantastic Lawyer

I hired Ms. Grant to review my case. Her review was thorough, and frank. Her communication was clear and to the point. I knew exactly where I stand after each conversation with her. Her skills and years of experience definitely proved to me why hiring Ms. Grant to review my case was a great deci...sion.

Clients expect honest and straightforward answers. I take my job seriously in explaining all of the options available to the client. More importantly, clients should be told upfront what they can expect if a lawsuit is filed including the time required of them, litigation expenses, and the litigation experience. Only in this way, can they make an informed decision of what choices they have available to them.
