Matthew Velebny Ennis

Matthew was an incredible advocate for me when I found myself laid off in my third trimester of my first pregnancy. He was quick to respond to my initial outreach and in my consultation spent quite a bit of time outlining for me what my rights were and options for next steps. He's incredibly knowled...gable in Washington employment law and explained the process every step of the way. Unlike other attorneys I consulted with, he understood the pressure I was under given my due date was quickly approaching and took time to limit as much stress on my end as possible. Matthew went back and forth with my former employer in severance negotiation over several weeks, and when they weren't willing to offer an acceptable severance package, filed a suit on my behalf. Once a settlement was reached, he continued to push for the best terms for my agreement and we landed in a place that kept me from needing to worry about returning to work right away. Being laid off so close to my due date was one of the most difficult events of my life, but has resulted in the best case scenario given the circumstances thanks to Matthew's hard work and advocacy for my case. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to any other pregnant worker who finds themself in a similar situation, looking for representation to hold their employer accountable.

I didn't know if anyone would help me. I called around to see if anyone would listen to me about what I had gone through. I was discriminated against by an employer. Then many other attorneys wouldn't take up my case. So I called Matthew Ennis, he cared about me and the fact that we needed to stand u...p for people with disabilities who wish to work part time hours. You see under the law I can only earn so much a month. I can literally only work 14 hours a week because minimum wage is so high. Because Matthew Ennis took the case, the employer who discriminated against me had to write a check. I know we fought the good fight. I couldn't have done it without Matthew Ennis. No one else would listen to me. If you need someone professional and sympathetic to your circumstances who understands what the law should allow then Matthew Ennis should be your advocate. He wrote up my entire complaint. He researched a strategy that helped us win a settlement. Thanks to Matthew Ennis people who are disabled and want to work 14 hours a week now have their voices heard. Insurance companies don't like to see the employers write checks for settlements. If you want to get your voice heard. Call Matthew Ennis. He will fight for you!

I hired Matthew to represent me when my employer laid me off due to discrimination. I felt very comfortable working with him because he has such a natural ability to listen and show empathy. His experience and profound knowledge of the law is also evident through his manner of communication. He sets ...expectations clearly, explains details thoroughly but concisely and empowers his client to make an informed decision at every step of the way. I was very pleased with the outcome of my case and I am extremely satisfied with the work Matthew has done for me. I wish all lawyers are as compassionate, genuine and highly competent as him!

I was recently fired from my job where I earned a substantial income. After explaining the situation in depth with Matthew he took the time to explain the law and how in this case he could be of service to me. I was very pleased with his honest response and his genuine concern with my case. I would h...ighly recommend Matthew to any one who things they might have been discriminated against in the work place.
