Terrible Group of People

Don't waste your time with these folks. They are very impatient, rude, and will often times raise their voice OVER the client just to be heard. Your client is your number one, period! They do not think this way. EXTREMELY disappointed in their lack of professionalism, understanding, or compassion for... their fellow man who they are SUPPOSEDLY trying to help. Save yourself some trouble and AVOID USING SHUCK LAW FOR LEGAL REPRESENTATION!!

Very Helpful

Mr Schuck was very helpful in making sure I understood the laws surrounding my case, the options I had, and the possible outcomes I had not considered. He was very kind and and patient with me and helped me see my case more clearly.

Answered all my questions, and made me feel comfortable in an uncomfortable situation.

David was a great resource in a time of need. I have never had a legal dispute involving my wages before. He answered every question that I had very thoroughly during my free consultation. He also gave me some really helpful tips to look out for. I would definitely use him if I need to pursue my ...case further.

Represented by Schuck's Team, excellent lawyer

I worked as an analyst for a call center for what amounted to roughly 2.5 weeks. After the 2.5 week training session concluded, I elected to seek other opportunities and left my employer on good terms. I had filled out my timesheet each week. My employment was as a contractor, separate from the c...ompany I was working for actually. After 2+ weeks of not being paid at all (over a month delay total), I reached out to Schuck Law after searching the internet for a solution. According to Karen, who cited Oregon State Law, I should have been expecting my final paycheck to be deposited/delivered to me within 24 hours of my ending employment. After talking to Karen, I made the formal decision to hire Schuck Law, and specifically have Karen represent my case Karen and her staff worked with me diligently, patiently, and eventually was able to resolve my situation in my favor. It took a goodly bit, over 3 months to resolve, but I thanks to the clear expectations set forth to me by Karen, I expected this. In the end my pay was addressed, albeit 4+ months late. I was most impressed with was their candor about how to handle this, what to expect, and how things would eventually play out. Karen made it clear that this whole endeavor was a process, and that the process needed to play out accordingly. My former contracting agency at first balked regarding any penalty wages, let alone paying me what I had worked (and forget the legal fees for Schuck Law LLC), but when all was finished, both Shuck Law and myself were paid as expected, including penalty wages. In over 25 years of working I have never had a situation like this, but I am grateful that my first time allowed me to find a great solution to addressing my needs. I consider myself quite fortunate to have found an honest, diligent, and reputable law firm to represent my needs. I have had little reason to involve an attorney in my life, but the one time I did, I found someone I would easily recommend to others. Karen and her staff was excellent, and treated my situation with respect and understanding. I am sure there are attorney's out there that are worse, but I seriously doubt there are others that are better. If you have a wage claim issue, and you feel your employer or former employer has violated state or federal laws in Oregon (or Washington), please do not hesitate to call them. I sincerely hope I never have to go thru something like this again, but if I do, I know who I would call if need be..
