Almost 2 years ago I was on a walk with my dog when an Amazon employee almost ran the both of us down. 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. read more

Devin was a increbile attorney from the time I hired him I knew I picked the right person. I cant thank him enough he explained every step clearly and helped me through a traumatic time with my former employer staff. Honest, thorough, and genuinely cared about getting me justice. My lawyer has a thorough knowledge of the law and defended my case with determination. I always felt like a top priority, and I'm so happy with the results. Devin was extremely professional and always went the extra mile to support me in my case.With his help we won the lawsuit and I received more than I expected. I am forever grateful for his hard work and for getting me the justice I deserved. I walked away feeling stronger and with a sense of closure. I highly recommend Devin if you need a employment attorney. If you need an attorney who truly cares about his clients, look no further! read more

I was given excellent attention, honest legal advice and information to help me make a clearer and informed decision. I'd recommend read more

Devin was very fast to respond and was able to provide a quick consult free of charge

Devin and his partner David are absolute professionals. Devin's negotiation skills helped bring my case to the finish line, concluding a difficult period in my professional life. They both helped me regain dignity and find the respect I deserve. I would advise any employee in a legally questionable situation to seek out Devin's counsel and expertise. read more

I contacted Devin in 2017 or 2018 (don't even remember anymore!) when it was obvious I was being discriminated against with the new manager of my department. Even though there was no action to be taken at the time, Devin continued to consult with me and even did some ghost-writing of responses for me when I'd get emails from either the manager or HR of the firm I was working for. He never gave up on me or my case, and was very supportive. Later, like over a full year later, when the inevitable happened and I was "laid off" he was my first call. That's when I met his partners, David and Stephanie. They heard me out, met internally, and made the decision to officially represent me through arbitration if it came to that. If you're looking for a firm that legit knows their stuff when it comes to HR law, I highly recommend this team. read more

I received a reply dated 10/28/20 from Devin Coyle to my 6/9/20 updated review. Note: That 10/28/20 reply is itself a duplicate reply I've already addressed in said 6/9/20 review. I've added the photo down below in case Mr. Coyle plans on using the same reply in the future. read more

Can't thank you enough for being so diligent and strategic about my case. All my needs were addressed and I couldn't be happier with the outcome. read more

Devin takes his time to listen. He is compassionate and kind, which are both rare traits to find in lawyers these days.

I can not sing enough praises for Devin. I've met very few people of any profession as trustworthy, kind, and patient as he is. Devin made us feel so comfortable and was so helpful and understanding during our difficult time. He went above and beyond in a situation where he did not have to and always treated us with the utmost respect. We will forever be grateful to him and would recommend him a thousand times over. If you're ever in a difficult situation, you would want Devin on your side. read more

Devin Coyle and David Browne are as good as it gets when it comes to attorneys and being compassionate and human. They handled a difficult case for me and we won which was amazing. there is no way I could have done it with any other lawyers due to the sensitivity of some of the subject matter. So much of my past was relieved in the case and they were both so human about it, in the best ways possible---never made me feel uncomfortable. I recently ran into some retaliation at a current job. They both took the time to listen and advise me on the situation which ended up having a good ending, thanks to Devin and David. They care, know their stuff, intelligent, and compassionate--and that is hard to find in lawyers sometimes. They make a great team. Honestly, sometimes I wish I were a paralegal (seriously) because I would want to work for them! My reasons for this is their great communication, responsiveness, and efficiency--the things that I value in working with others. I can't say enough amazing things about Devin and David, as lawyers and as human beings. read more

Mr. Coyle helped me understand my schools NDA practices on a sexual harassment issue. he was very nice and patient. In dealing with these matters it is important to have people that make you feel comfortable and that you can trust. I highly recommend. read more

Amazing and professional!! Greatly appreciate him and his team for taking the time to hear my case and find a way in order to help me for the mistreatment I have encountered. Also, very quick at responding!! We need more attorneys like you!! Thank you Devin! read more

I had a consultation this afternoon and I got to say that it was one of the best consultations I've had. After submitting a consultation request, I received a response nearly immediately to schedule a chat. Within a matter of 1-2 hours, I was having a phone conversation about my matter. The attorney I spoke with (David) was extremely knowledgeable, detail-oriented, and took the time to hear my sentiments. The best part of the chat where is toward the end where David carefully provided worst case and best case scenarios, depending on the actions I could take. I now feel empowered to take the proper next steps in my situation. I will certainly use this firm again. If you are dealing with a legal matter, I highly recommend Devin Coyle Law / Intake Browne Labor Law! read more

I can't not say enough great things about Mr. Coyle. I had originally found him on Yelp about 2 years ago and had reached out for a consultation regarding labor laws and he was beyond helpful. I hired Devin to represent me during the process with the labor commissioner and it was well worth it. He took care of what needed to be done, he was attentive, and he was very practical. He was also very honest during the whole process and made sure I knew what to expect. I hope to not have to work with him again, but I strongly recommend that if you need someone on your side you choose him. read more

Mr. Coyle called me personally he read my inquiry and had time, and patience with me. I was all over the place trying to explain and he patiently listened wasn't rude and I felt his genuineness. I've experienced a trauma due to discrimination and it hurt and this lawyer treated me like a person not a case. Gratitude read more

After writing my review Mr. Coyle responded to me both via email and through Yelp. I appreciate that he has reached out to me. I would call him back, but we are currently meeting with another lawyer. Hopefully this was a one time event and other clients will have a better experience. Thank you Devin. read more

I never do yelp reviews but the satisfaction I have for the attorney duo of Coyle and Brown made me write about them. I told my grandson everything about these lawyers and all they done for me so he surprised me and did a review for me himself but when I read it I knew it was not informative enough. Here you go If your looking for a law firm that's passionate about their work and listens to their client a strong ability to think outside the box and easy to relate to these are the lawyers. They show compassion for their client I'm a witness to that. read more

Most people never want to be in a situation where they need to call a lawyer but if you have to call a lawyer I advise you call Mr. Coyle. I know taking the first can seem intimidating but Mr. Coyle is a very smart guy and will help you with your legal issues. Mr. Coyle is a very professional and effective attorney. If you are like me and are looking for an attorney that will return your calls keep and keep his word Mr. Coyle is your best choice. He is a very good listener and asks smart questions to help you develop your case. Again I know it's not easy and it might even be uncomfortable but if you are wondering if what happens needs a lawyer just give him a call or email him. I used his website to get a hold of him. read more

Devin Coyle Las was really nice and helpful.

Devin and David were incredible. It's never a good time to have to deal with these sorts of things, but Devin was someone you like to work with. Very professional, and informative. Prompt responses, excellent communication, and helped us achieve the outcome we were hoping for. Highly reccomend read more

I read the Yelp reviews & decided to call as I had an employment question that was bothering me. It was after 8 pm and he answered the phone. Devin was extremely helpful and knowledgeable. He provided relief as he explained the law governing reimbursement for commute. He researched the matter further & gave me a call back, and was very generous in giving me the Labor Commissioner's office number in Oakland. I would definitely call Devin back and use his services and highly recommend him. Thank you Devin for giving the free consultation. I hope your business thrives and you get what you're giving out a thousand times fold. read more

Competent, efficient, caring. Absolutely outstanding legal services. Mr. Coyle is a realist and won't encourage weak claims, which saves everyone time, money, and heartache. A pleasure to work with. read more

As a fellow employment lawyer who has worked with many attorneys over the years, Devin really stands out for his reasoned and smart advocacy and level-headed and kind demeanor. If I needed a good attorney, I'd hire him. read more

Devin Coyle made a difficult and arduous legal process as manageable and painless (relatively) as possible. I had a very nuanced case that was complicated to navigate. Many attorneys were apprehensive about taking it, but Devin Coyle looked at the facts and merits and took me on as a client. During the entire process Devin Coyle made sure I was always informed and most importantly, he was entirely straight forward with me. He managed to be direct and honest about any potential weaknesses while still managing to be compassionate and sensitive towards the very touchy issues in the case. Everything turned out as successful as I could have hoped and I feel very fortunate to have had him and David Browne as my advocates. I hope the situation never arises where I need his services again but if it did, I'd gladly work with him all over again. I would highly recommend his services to anyone who finds themselves in need of an attorney. read more

Awesome attorney! He gives you great advice and will tell you what's best for you and your case. Punctual and always returned my calls and emails if I had any questions or concerns. Thanks again Devin. My family and I can't thank you enough. Sooooo glad I called you when I did. 5 stars!!! read more

Mr Devin Coyle is the best attorney Ive ever met. I was in tight spot at work and i felt it could worsen soon. I felt bullied and isolated as i informed myself of the employment laws of CA. After reading all i could understandof the various laws, i called Mr. Coyle and he was super clear aboutthe reality of the scenario. I ended up being unfairly terminated, and so began a four and a half year odessey that "ended" with a 14 day trial at which my jury found in favor for us and awarded a seven figure award to boot. Truly amazing was the courage he and co cousel Elizabeth Peck, had,to take my case without a penny from me pro bono, and essentially in the pursuit of justice. This victory was not, easily won, but won all the same against a GLOBAL RELIGOUS ENTITY, with billions in resources. These huge road blocks never intimidated Mr Coyle, as he assured me from day one: " what happened to you was wrong and we will fight to get you justice". He did too. For four long bitter years that have come to change my life completely, he listened. When my family was tired of hearing about it, after my spouse of 9 years left me due to the emotional changes i had undergone, he and co cousel, Elizabeth Peck kept my chin up and sincerely believed in me and in righting the wrong this entire church from top to bottom slowly had executed to dis credit me and outright lie about me, they fought on. They truly became bigger,much bigger, people in my life and i consider them as close as family. They may not realize the impact they have made in my life, or see things that way, but i cannot shout loudly enough that no one should choose any employment attorney, anywhere, anytime, before consulting Mr Coyle first. To anyone who would say they do it all for the money i would submit this : My case although won, remains in appeals, to this day, and they still fight, through this process too, a full six plus years later, and nobody has seen a penny. Whats more is they have PAID OUT roughly fifty thousand, in litigation costs, to see this through. Jeremiah Matbews Santa Cruz Ca read more

Found this dude on Yelp, called him up, and he picked up the line himself to provide some quick, free help as advertised. No BS, no pressure and a straight-up guy, unlike some of the other sharks I've consulted with in the legal profession. read more

I spoke with Mr. Coyle for a free consultation about an employment situation, and he immediately responded to my call and was patient in hearing my case and asked relevant questions. He was very knowledgeable and also very upfront and honest in my options, and although it was just a consultation, I got a sense this is a person who will care for your case. read more

I needed some advice and Devin answered when I call his office. He listened patiently as I described my situation. He asked a few questions to clarify, and even towards the end of our phone conversation, he made sure to ask if he had actually addressed my concerns. Although you would think professionals should take the time, like he did, to make sure they understand your question before answering, surprisingly they do not always do so. There was no charge for the consultation; of course, it wasn't a really long conversation as we were able to get to the point right away. read more

I needed some advices and he took the time to take my call Friday evening right at 5pm. No rush, listened and asked me all the question he felt were needed for a total of a 45 minutes call, free of charge. I have to say that his professionalism was appreciated. All hopes are that I will not need legal assistance but in the event that I do, Devin you can rest assure that you will be the first one I call. Thank you again. read more

I can not say enough about how pleased I am working with Devin Cole. He won my case for me. He was and still is always available to answer any questions or concerns that I have to this day.

I highly recommend him. He is an asset to his profession. And I can not thank him enough. Vicki read more
