Harriet Kay Strasberg

I retained Harriet after hearing multiple times from others how my case could not be won. Harriet agreed that it was a difficult case but decided to represent me with my wrongful discharge tort claim from the State of Washington. To make matters more complicated, I was a probationary employee with ...no rights. I had only worked 4 months for my employer before they separated me from employment. I was impressed with the letters she wrote the opposing party arguing discrimination. They were, in essence, legal memoranda with the law cited and legal authority provided. At first, I thought that all I could get was the termination or separation removed from my file in exchange for a letter of resignation written by me to be placed in my personnel file. The bottom line was that due to Harriet's help, not only did they agree to change the separation to a resignation, they agreed to give me monetary compensation, provide neutral references if asked and to refer all future calls about my separation to the personnel office. All that after only 4 months of employment! Harriet literally worked magic!

After an initial phone call and meeting to allow me to describe the discriminatory and hostile work environment I was in, Harriet immediately contacted my employer outlining the merits of our case. Harriet very successfully negotiated a most satisfactory result. Harriet knows the law; she knows how... to negotiate; and she knows what is realistically attainable. I am extremely happy with Harriet's work, and I highly recommend her.

After a few phone calls with Harriet we met in person and she took my workplace harassment and discrimination case. With a highly impacting letter to my former employer sighting many points of wrong doing and backing them up with law the point was made to them. This matter settled out of court and ...was timely and prompt. This was just the right amount of help I needed to feel my previous employer knew they did wrong.
