    Waltman Employment Law

    Downtown

    I worked with Rick to help with C-level employment contract reviews. He had a wealth of…read moreinformation, particularly with regards to California law. It gave me a high level of confidence in my decision-making. This, as someone else also indicated, was not a large payoff, and one which several others I'd come across first turned down, but fortunately for me, one was kind enough to pass along Rick's information. He was a pure pleasure to work with. Informed, sympathetic, never rushed our conversations eager to get to the next thing, he was just terrific. So much so that I worried I wasn't compensating him enough for the time he surely spent. That's something I NEVER thought I'd say but it was absolutely the case here. If and when I ever need more substantial services, Rick Waltman has earned my trust and my business. Thank you, sir, not only for your effort on my behalf, by illustrating the "typical attorney" stereotype may be some people, but it certainly isn't everyone.

    I am not sharing my real name for privacy concerns. I assure you Rick Waltman has represented me…read more Yelp you can contact me to confirm if you'd like. Rick Waltman is NOT an honest attorney. He is not going to defend you with a rigor, he is going to ruin your case for a quick payout. Another poster suggested that Rick felt "compromised". I could not agree more, at one point it felt that Rick was actually defending the opposing counsel and THEIR client in an obvious attempt to frustrate me into taking their low ball offer. To put this in perspective other, more reputable firms, had advised completely contrary to Rick initially. Rick did very little work, had typographical errors in ALL of his correspondence and was overall just sloppy. Go with someone else. Again yelp reach out to me to verify my identity and that I have actually worked with Rick Waltman (I'll provide you ample evidence).

    To anyone looking for legal help or guidance:…read more I will continually be grateful I came across Jordon's practice. His help and support went above and beyond what I expected, in every way. Jordon is kind and dependable and an absolutely great lawyer. From the very beginning, I was treated by him, Taylor, Sarah, and Emily with openness, kindness, and professionalism. I spoke and communicated a lot with both Taylor and Jordon. There were times I had a decent amount of questions and concerns and each were diligently and compassionately answered. They also made the time to accommodate my schedule when there were conflicts. Along with their clear passion for law and justice, their knowledge and their ability to lay things out clearly and effectively gave so much reassurance and peace in a time when I had been feeling that the least. They hold themselves to a higher standard. They are kind, patient, knowledgeable, and experienced--all in all, you will be dealing with good people! Thank you Harlan Law!

    I was in a near-death car accident in San Diego in 2016, and knew I had to find a lawyer to help me…read moremake sense of it all. I knew nothing about personal injury, so I began to do some online research and found Jordon Harlan on Avvo. From the moment I had my phone consultation, to every moment during the case, Jordon was phenomenal in his communication. He explained every detail (and more...I ask a lot of questions), and really helped me understand all of the options I had. It wasn't an easy case, and it took two years to settle, but Jordon was there every step of the way. He handled every difficult situation well, and always kept me informed. He was easy to get in touch with as well, over email, phone, even text. Business aside, Jordon is a great guy! He was thoughtful, kind, and really made sure I was comfortable at all times during the case. I HIGHLY recommend Jordon and his firm.

    Gold Coast Counsel is elite. Sarah Gallagher and Sarah Dahm took over my case and immediately got…read moreto work. My previous lawyer had plateaued at a low number, but this team managed a substantial, life-changing increase--nearly 3x what was originally on the table. They communicate exceptionally well and don't waste your time. They are focused, strategic, and they held the line until we got the result I deserved. I'm so happy I made the switch to them. If you have employment issues, talk to these guys first. They are the best in the business.

    If you were like me, doubting if your employment situation is worth seeking advice, you ought to…read moremake a call to Sarah. Sarah is phenomenally above all other attorneys I've ever done consultations with. I was connected with Sarah for an employment issue that was overwhelming for me but almost felt like a lost cause. I never felt taken for granted, like another case file lost in the mix. I've gone through attorneys who would take my money and offer tactless, incorrect advice. She had incredible empathy, was immediately available to chat about my situation like a friend. I never felt on-the-clock explaining my situation with her. Sarah set the appropriate expectations of what I am EMPOWERED to do. I bolden the word "EMPOWERED" because she's not shoving things down my throat of what i need to exactly do. She's exploring options with me on my case, giving me honest takes of what will happen with certain strategic plays I could execute, and predicting what the opposition would do in response. There's a great level of effort in understanding my case. After the consultation, I was more equipped and confident that I had a case. Don't wait like I did, give them a call!
