GM: "The Firm's lawyers provided me with top notch legal representation. After being terminated from my job, the lawyers at the firm worked with both with my union and me, developing strategies to help me get my job back while also keeping my legal fees minimal. Ultimately, due to their hard work, my employer reinstated me. I am very thankful for their services and would recommend them to anyone."
