A Heartfelt Thank You

“I look back on the anniversary of one of the most significant moments in my life. The moment I realized that employees sometimes have no recourse. I found Jeremy Heisler and his team as a guiding light in navigating the intricacies of my case, understanding that there are legal protections and overall helping me to make sense of my new space in which I needed an advocate and legal team fully capable of logic, empathy and above all the best legal counsel. I felt safe and protected with the up-to-date case communication, as well as the prompt and positive support I received for the Sanford Heisler team. I would not hesitate to recommend Jeremy, Carrie, Kate, Alex and Animesh. This is an amazing team that is equipped with insight, legal knowledge and simply being good people. I am eternally grateful for the kindness and professionalism I experienced and wish anyone who finds themselves in my situation, the same and positive case outcome. A heartful thank you.”

I Was a Plaintiff in a Very Large Class Action

“Charles Field and team were my legal representation. I must say Charles was wonderful. He talked to me in a normal way.

Finding a Top Employment Lawyer … Can Be the Proverbial Needle in the Haystack … I Found That Needle!

“The abrupt end of employment can be financially and emotionally disruptive and challenging to most people. Add factors such as age, gender, or an unpredictable job market; stress levels can be high. This uncertainty can exist even if a moderate settlement is on the table.Suppose you think you’ve been mistreated and believe your severance should be more than just moderate. In that case, hiring someone who is an expert in employment law and an excellent strategist and negotiator is advisable. And, recognizing that some discussions may cause the former employee to feel marginalized and maligned, and resolution is often protracted, an essential quality to seek in such a lawyer is the rare but oh-so-significant human touch.Most A-list employment law firms/attorneys represent defendant employers; finding a top employment lawyer representing the plaintiff/employee who possesses the requisite gamut of desired qualities and skills can be the proverbial needle in the haystack.I found that needle! She’s Ella Zheng, Managing Partner of the Palo Alto and San Francisco Offices and Asian American Litigation and Finance Practice Group Chair at Sanford Heisler Sharp McKnight!”

“The Sanford Heisler Sharp McKnight team is extremely responsive, knowledgeable, and professional.

My request was denied, and the retribution began.On Labor Day I sent an e-mail to Sanford Heisler Sharp McKnight, and to my pleasant surprise David Sanford answered me in a few hours. We also spoke on the telephone and began to plan our strategy. The team assisted me in dealing with the resulting escalated company retaliation until my case was resolved in my favor. They were always available when needed and were very respectful and sensitive to the emotional and physical damage I was experiencing.Today I am enjoying the happiest times of my life and I owe much of my happiness to Sanford Heisler Sharp McKnight.
