From our very first conversation, it was clear that Steven was knowledgeable, responsive, and genuinely invested in getting the best outcome for my employment matter. He took the time to explain things clearly, answered every question I had, and kept me updated at every step of the process. I always felt like I knew what was happening, which made me feel more comfortable. Not only is Steven amazing at what he does, he is also empathetic and kind. This goes a long way while navigating complex and draining legal processes over months and years. I'd highly recommend Steven, without hesitation.

I highly recommend Tracy Lemmon at Lemmon Employment Law & Conflict Resolution. I feel incredibly…read morefortunate that I found her through Salma from Gomerman Bourn & Associates. Before working with Tracy, I consulted with three other employment attorneys about my situation. After hearing the facts, all three essentially advised me to accept the severance my former employer had offered and move on. Tracy saw the situation differently. She took the time to really understand what had happened, carefully evaluated my case, and was willing to advocate for me when others were not. Over the next several months, Tracy guided me through the entire process and ultimately represented me through mediation, where we reached a resolution that was dramatically better than the original severance offer and that I was very satisfied with. What impressed me most was not only the outcome, but how Tracy handled the process. She genuinely cared about me as a client, was thoughtful and strategic, communicated clearly, and gave my case very personalized attention. I always felt that she was advocating for my best interests rather than simply trying to move the case along. She was also very mindful of legal costs and handled the matter in a practical and cost-effective way. Employment disputes can be stressful and very personal, and having the right attorney makes an enormous difference. Tracy combined strong legal judgment and advocacy with compassion and personal attention. My experience with her was exceptional, and I would recommend her without hesitation to anyone looking for an employment attorney.

She is strategic, thoughtful, and calm under pressure -- exactly the kind of advocate you want in a stressful situation. Thanks to her guidance, the outcome of my case was better than I could have imagined. I'm extremely grateful for her support and would recommend her without hesitation.

Super unprofessional... entirely spoke over me and handled the consultation poorly. Invalidated my…read moreexperience wholly. Better lawyers out there, have spoken to others in the Bay who gave truly nuanced consultations and offered solutions that made sense. She felt very inexperienced, relying on "what the law says" versus negotiation nuance. She frames it as an "intake call" in her response but she was offering me guidance on what to do even though I kept saying I didn't think her guidance made sense in my situation. Update: she just viewed my LinkedIn in response to this review and has not sent a letter to state she is not my attorney. Update: the non-attorney letter did go to my spam but it was wholly unprofessional as well. She was defensive for our conversation, blaming the "short nature" of it and "my timeline" and said "I believe you just posted a Yelp review and I am sorry that you felt the need to post that. It is your prerogative. I wish you the best and I hope you are able to find a satisfactory resolution." So, she was more focused on defending herself and arguing she was "right" than my case. I am greatly concerned about the ethics of this practitioner who prioritizes her own 5-star rating over reflecting on how she communicates with prospective clients. Employment law is a highly sensitive area, I hope people are able to find compassionate and knowledgeable individuals to serve them, not ones who are defensive and operate in an ethical gray area.

I rarely write reviews anymore and almost never write bad reviews at all…read more The background -- I am an enterprise salesperson working in a high tech industry. I had an issue where my company was withholding a large sum of commission, probably somewhere in the ballpark of ~$200k. When I reached out to Minnis & Smallets, I received a prompt response to my inquiry that I was not a client they wished to represent -- was not even granted a brief call with an actual attorney to explain my situation. They literally have an entire page on their website (too wordy btw) devoted to NON-PAYMENT OF COMMISSIONS. So, I'm very curious as to what level of compensation issue cases they are handling if they have the privilege to turn down a probable six-figure judgment in my/their favor...? Oh, and the woman I spoke to was very inarticulate as to why the representation was denied, which was also odd. Bad experience and am happy to go elsewhere.

I truly felt like I had thrown my entire life away that night I was arrested for a DUI. When I got…read morehome, I felt hopeless and terrified, as though my soul had been completely broken. It felt like I had reached rock bottom and was trapped in a deep, dark hole with no way out. I found myself on my knees, crying and praying that somehow this was all just a terrible nightmare. By the grace of God, I received a glimpse of hope when I was referred to Attorney Thomas Fleming. Mr. Fleming took me under his wing. In the span of just a few days, I experienced a level of legal expertise, compassion, mercy, trust, and love that I had never felt before. I felt truly seen and cared for, as though God had placed him in my life exactly when I needed them most. He gave me guidance and recommendations that would not only help my case, but also guide me toward becoming the person I was intending to be. I committed myself to the recommendations he laid out and faithfully followed them for several months. In the end, they contributed not only to my case, but also to a profound transformation in my life. He is truly a miracle worker. My alcohol level was .18 BAC, profoundly high, and with bad driving reported by another citizen, the potential consequences I was facing were extremely serious, including the possibility of jail time and significant penalties. Yet, through the grace of God and Thomas's exceptional professional expertise, what initially felt like an impossible situation ultimately resulted in an actual (not guilty) acquittal on the DUI charges. He also convinced the judge to issue a court order that DMV must also acquit me! Thomas was able to email my court order of not-guilty to the right person and right department at DMV. DMV then instantly emailed Thomas a DMV not-guilty order for my case. This meant that I get to keep my license! Nothing is impossible for God. I am incredibly grateful that I received no jail time and was instead given volunteer hours at a charity or church. My whole case will then be expunged in only one year! This is an outcome I never could have imagined when I was at my lowest point. I am truly blessed--not only by the outcome of my case, but by the way God brought him into my life. Looking back, I can see that meeting Thomas was something much greater than simply a fortunate circumstance, it was a blessing that reminded me of God's presence and His plan for my life. If you are ever in a situation similar, where you feel hopeless or unsure of where to turn, I cannot recommend Mr. Fleming enough. You need to inquire with them. His legal expertise may change the course of your case, but more importantly, his compassion, guidance, recommendations, and genuine care may change the course of your life, and turn something bad into something very good.

I am a nurse and I thought that would be the end of my life and my career. It was the darkest time in my life that I lost trust in the system and humans. During this time, I found and retained attorney Thomas Fleming. He assured me everything would be ok. Throughout the legal process, Thomas guided me every step, recommending a number of activities that are good for my case, and also helped me grow as a person. Thomas then used these activities and my growth in court as one of many reasons why the court should give me a second chance despite any mistakes I may have made. Thomas then asked the judge to divert and dismiss my case. The prosecutor strongly objected to this. But, amazingly, the judge believed and agreed with Thomas, and granted his request to divert and dismiss my case. Amazing but true, the court dismissed my case at his request! Thomas then filed a motion to seal any record of my arrest, the court granted as well! Thomas has a lot of faith. I found him to be a smart, trustworthy, honest, professional, compassionate and genuinely cared for me as a person. He got to know me and my family as well. He always wanted the best for me, it showed in the result. God bless Thomas!

I called out to the Amazon driver and this man opened his window and called me the N-word in front of several of my neighbors. As a black American, I have experienced racism far too many times to count. I was overcome by several emotions. Rage, frustration, fatigue. Fatigue at having to deal with this sort of sickness, cancer. Saddened that so many of us have to deal with it. I decided not to lash out and set out on a mission to search for an attorney who handles such cases. I was very fortunate because it did not take me long to find attorney Devin Coyle. Attorney Coyle worked for months locating the parties he needed to locate. He genuinely cared about my case and was troubled by my story. I felt extremely relieved that my case was being handled by this particular attorney. This is why I know for a fact that if you find yourself in a situation where you've been harassed for racial, political or for some other reason listed under protected class, you should definitely reach out to Attorney Devin Coyle. I hope to never find myself needing an attorney for this purpose again but if I do ever find myself dealing with something similar or some of the same old thing, this is the Attorney I will be reaching out to.
