They treated me like a part of the family. Angela, Arthur, Morgan and Blake are people you can trust to represent you. This firm is definitely a step above most others. The personal attention and support the gave me absolutely helped my stress level. They have years of experience in their jobs and it shows. I didn't feel like I was dealing with people who couldn't identify with my situation at all. If you choose Lazear Mack, I'm certain you will be just as happy as I am with them. I wholeheartedly recommend the people at Lazear Mack. I was fortunate to have them in my side. read more

Every single person at Lazear Mack is absolutely wonderful! They listen and truly want to help. I went to them for help at one of the most difficult times in my life and they were there for me. I chose them after reading great reviews and now I know why they have great reviews. They are truly one of the best firms in not just California, but the United States. I promise they will give you their full attention and give you all of themselves. Can't recommend them enough. Jess read more

There's a reason why Lazear Mack is ranked #1 on Yelp for Labor Law Attorneys and that reason is actually four fold: Arthur, Morgan, Blake and Angela. Those four people are the four reasons why this law firm is, in my opinion, the absolute best bet for your legal needs. From their non-pretentious office that makes you feel as if you could be sitting in your own space to the firm's MO being that they operate and litagate based on YOUR best interests and not their own. My own experience with the firm lasted about three months from start to finish and everything was handled with as much speed and expediency as the system allows. You simply can't ask for more than that! During the course of my experience with LM I worked most with Morgan Mack and Blake Morrow. Blake is the firm's paralegal and proved himself to be Johnny on the Spot for anything and everything; E-mails answered within minutes, paperwork filled out thoroughly and efficently, constant contact about my legal process. In a word, amazing. Morgan Mack was my attorney and you absolutely cannot ask for a nicer, warmer guy on your side nor could you ask for a sharper toothed bull dog (at the right moments) when it came down to interactions with opposing parties. I would not want to be on the wrong side of the table with Mr. Mack!!! In conclusion, I am proud to call Lazear Mack my attorneys and will recommend them to anyone and everyone. You, dear reader, must be reading these reviews for a reason so do yourself a favor and just pick up the phone to give these folks a call. I promise you will not regret it. Oh, and if you're on the opposite side of the table currently doing your research on who you'll be going up against in the court room, conference room or otherwise...Good luck. :-D read more

I highly recommend Morgan Mack to anyone looking for someone to represent them in employment matters. Morgan Mack is a lifesaver. He helped me with my employment issues during a time in my life that was really rough and emotionally draining. Life tip: when you are talking to a company about an agreement and there is no lawyer present, you are losing so much leverage. Always have an attorney when speaking to any company's in-house counsel. Morgan was a knowledgeable expert in employment law, was very patient with me, and extremely professional with the way he handled himself both with me and the employer's counsel. Morgan listens to both parties with the intention of making sure that you are happy with the turnout. Even if it is better to go to trial, if you do not want to go to trial (like my situation), He will respect your wishes and simply try his best to get you what you deserve. Morgan truly cares about his clients and it shows in every encounter. Prices are reasonable and he does work efficiently in the hours you are charged. In fact, I could've signed a contingency agreement paying $0 but I chose not to as the rates were low compared to some employment lawyers in San Francisco. You won't find a better employment lawyer in Oakland. Additionally, the staff are great (Matthew, Angela). Highly recommended as they take their intake consults seriously and give great advice. Thank you Morgan Mack for your legal expertise, professionalism, and kindness during a really rough patch in my life! It made all the difference during a really tough time in my life. This review was long overdue. read more

Arthur is one of the most experienced and skilled lawyers with an exceptionally big heart. He has saved me 16,000 dollars by writing a letter to the insurance company and refuting their decision to decline my claim. I recommend his services highly. read more

Arthur Lazear was instrumental in helping me win a better than expected settlement due to an automobile accident I was involved in several years ago. He and his team showed compassion, strong knowledge of what it would take to settle the case within a reasonable period of time in my favor, while maintaining a level of integrity and professionalism throughout the entire process. He kept me informed along the way of what I could expect and the timeframe in which to expect it and I always felt completely confident in his actions and his recommendations. I would highly recommend and use Arthur and his company again should the need for legal counsel arise again. read more

I found these guys because of a sudden ex-employer spat. Within two business days they had received the information they needed and provided me with short-term and long-term options for free.

I found Lazear Mack on Yelp and I decided to give them a call to see if I had a case.

If you are looking for someone to represent you for wrongful termination this is definitely the best choice. (I called other offices before I got to this one, and this is the only one that made me feel like they really wanted to help me.) read more

Angela and Arthur were great when it came to a review of a separation agreement with a former employer. Angela's quick response and willingness to help complemented Arthur's counsel very nicely. Within a few short days we quickly built rapport, reviewed documentation, and developed an opinion on my situation. My employer was based in another state and Arthur's cross-border expertise was quite helpful. Would definitely recommend giving them a call for assistance! read more

I am the owner of a three year old small business with 10 employees. These guys could not be more helpful. They have spent considerable time on the phone with me, helping me navigate several potentially tricky legal matters in a very professional and reassuring manner.

I had a claim against a former employer and was scared and embarrassed to go to anyone and talk about it. I found Lazear Mack on Yelp and the following day I was scheduled to go into their office and talk about my case. Lazear Mack is very professional, understanding, knowledgeable and most of all down to earth. Right away I knew I was in good hands. Another bonus is Angela! She got back to me ASAP whenever I had questions. She listened to me vent, she always followed up to inform me of where my case was standing. if she didn't know the answer she would find out, she is the backbone/glue for the attorneys.

I cannot express my gratitude and appreciation for Mr. Lazear and Mr. Mack enough.

Plus they made me feel like I had the right to stand up for myself, and that is invaluable. I wish I could give them 6 stars! read more

A few years back, my employer terminated me without any reason when I was recovering from a work-related automobile accident. One of my disputes involved the company stealing employee benefits in the form of confiscating vacation pay that had been earned and not used by employees. I filed a class action to recover the payments, but the attorneys I hired were only serving their interests, and not those of the class or myself. I terminated them and hired Lazear Mack and Alexander G. van Broek to be co-counsels. Arthur and Morgan, from the moment I met them at the courthouse, were the consummate professionals and at all times were advocates for my interests and those of the class I represented. They responded quickly and kept me informed every step of the way. We succeeded in obtaining a fair settlement and I would hire these super lawyers again without any hesitation. Don't have any hesitations about these guys being on your side. I know, especially after being abused by bad lawyers, these guys restored my hope and faith that there is fairness to be gotten in the legal system, but only if you have attorneys that are competent and dedicated to fighting for you and your rights! That is this firm! "Justice can sleep for years and awaken when it is least expected. A miracle is nothing more than dormant justice from another time arriving to compensate those it has cruelly abandoned. Whoever knows this is willing to suffer, for he knows that nothing is in vain."― Mark Helprin, Winter's Tale ------ if there is justice to be had, they will find it for you! read more

I never expected to need a lawyer, but found myself in an awkward - and upsetting - conflict with my employer. I found Lazear Mack via Yelp reviews. I feel so fortunate to have worked with these inspiring people. This is The Dream Team of labor law - not only did they provide excellent information and advice based on years of experience, but also successfully negotiated a settlement without having to go to mediation. Arthur is astoundingly compassionate and innately deescalates situations with gentle voice and subtle humor. Morgan consumes all data and analyzes for best strategy. Angela keeps it all together, regularly touching base with status reports . Their motto, stenciled on the door, says it all: "Practice with a Purpose". read more

I contacted Lazear Mack when I was dealing with a recent problem regarding unsafe working conditions and questionable pay of hours at one of my jobs.

After explaining my situation, she gave me several options and was very informative about labor laws and what steps I needed to take next.

What can I say about Arthur, Morgan, Angela and Matthew other than AMAZING and WONDERFUL. I originally found them on Yelp after being turned away by multiple other attorneys.

Morgan and Arthur are very intelligent, professional, knowledgeable regarding employment law, and great listeners. They are highly educated and have a lot of experience in this field and willing to share their knowledge. They answered all my questions with great confidence. They have excellent communication skills and always thoroughly explain my options and the possible outcomes. They give realistic expectations and are honest with you and your situation.

I am quite satisfied to have Morgan and Arthur as my attorney, recommend them to anyone facing employment related issues and will go back to them if similar issues are brought up in future. Besides the lawyers, the other team members Angela and Blake are very professional and supportive and keep you well informed throughout the process.
