Posted by anonymous | April 29, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Employment & Labor

Awesome Advocate

I hired Colleen after my former employer accused me of quitting, even though my former employer had placed me in an unethical position and had prevented me from working/coming to work. Colleen diligently represented me in both my unemployment case and in a wage claim case for back wages against my f...ormer employer. In both cases my former employer, who was an attorney himself, hired "big guns" from some the best-known law firms in the country. Colleen was a much better attorney than my former employer and those "big guns"--they were no match for her. She was very professional and diligent, and did a great job representing me in my matters. I have no qualms about referring her to others who need an employment law attorney. She is the best!

She is thorough, professional, diligent, ethical, and knows how to present her clients' cases in an effective manner that generates the best results for her clients.
