Great perspective!

I have known Elizabeth for about 10 years. We co-facilitate a class together. I have found her to be extremely knowledgeable and grounded in her profession. She is interested in educating organizations and individuals about employment law so they can make informed employment decisions. I like the... emphasis she places on understanding yourself and recognizing the impact your decisions have on you, those you work with, and the organization. I think she offers a "big picture" perspective that I do not often get from other attorneys. I think she is a great resourse and person.

Ison Law Group, Elizabeth Ison

Elizabeth has been our legal counsel of choice for eight years. I consult with her on a regular basis in all matters involving employment law including workplace investigations, wage/hour law and compliance, employee handbook policies and procedures, employee relations, terminations, leaves of absenc...es and more. She provides us with employer training seminars every year for management and staff. She has truly helped us provide a healthy work environment to our employees while minimizing our exposure to litigation. Elizabeth maintains the highest level of integrity, professionalism and ethics at all times. My trust in her is complete and I respectfully offer the highest of recommendations. When you have the best there is simply no need for the rest. Thank you Elizabeth!

Knowledge and Help in Your Corner

Elizabeth Ison has been instrumental to our Company for nearly five years. We first found Elizabeth after a Fair Employment complaint was filed against our Company and we were very impressed with the knowledge, advice, and assistance she demonstrated during the entire process. We were able to respo...nd to the complaint and establish that we had not engaged in the conduct reported against us. Since that time, Elizabeth has reviewed and made suggestions for revisions to our Policy Manual to be sure that we are in compliance with the ever-changing Federal and State labor laws. She allows us to concentrate on operating our business rather than stressing over all the little things that can, and do, happen in the course of running a business with 150 employees. Elizabeth is great at putting things in perspective. Most importantly, Elizabeth is now the person we rely on “BEFORE” we get into trouble. We can make a telephone call, or send an e-mail asking for her input prior to making impactful decisions. Her insight is invaluable in our decision making process. She coaches us through all sides of the problem so we can make an informed decision. We would not hesitate to recommend Elizabeth to anyone looking for an Employment Law Attorney. It’s nice to have someone in your corner that understands the process when you need it.

Proactive Approach

We are a Sacramento based company with approximately 175 employees. Ms. Ison has been our attorney on employment law matters for over 10 years. I can count on her to be reponsive and timely which is critical since I'm usually seeking advice on employee issues that must be addressed within hours not d...ays. She understands the needs of our business and provides practical advice that allows us to meet those needs while meeting all of our legal requirements. She has assisted us with separation agreements, advised us on investigations, provided investigation training, and answered wage and hour law questions among many others. I am pleased with her proactive approach and believe that her advice and counsel has helped us to maintain an exceptional track record in terms of labor dispute and lawsuit avoidance.

Elizabeth Ison

We have worked with Ms. Ison for over five years and regularly consult with her over matters of employment and wage and hour law. She consistently provides sound legal advice which has helped keep us out of litigation. Additionally, we have invited Ms. Ison to speak at our facility on several occas...sions on topics ranging from California employment law to unlawful harassment. Her presentations are always interesting, informative and well attended. She is an outstanding attorney and we highly recommend her.

"I have litigated cases against Elizabeth as far back as my memory goes. If she is your lawyer you are lucky because she has your back. Elizabeth is always a pleasure to work with refraining from causing animosity which is counter productive to her clients interest."

"Elizabeth Ison is a knowledgeable and formidable adversary. Elizabeth is aggressive in the defense of her clients but always behaves with professionalism and tact. Employers would be well served to meet with Elizabeth early, sign up for training and by so doing, avoid those expensive problems that turn up when an employee/workplace issue has been neglected for too long."
