She didn't use scare tactics or extremism like other consultations. And she seemed to really understand my circumstance. 3) The retainer cost was also the most competitive by far! Throughout the process (pre court), her team was responsive by text and email, including remainders on court date and traffic school recommendation, which I greatly appreciated. They seemed really on top of it and available. Most importantly, the day of my traffic hearing she was really proactive and aggressive in handling the process. She negotiated with all parties and then represented me to the judge as well. She made sure the terms worked for me. I didn't have to face the judge, prosecutor or witness. She handled everything. The entire process literally took about 20 minutes and I was on my way with the most favorable outcome. Super efficient and stress free process, after months of worrying about the outcome. I wished I had hired her earlier on. Overall I would rate the experience 10/10 and could not recommend them more!!! So very grateful and eternally thankful!!! I couldn't be happier with the services offered. Highly highly recommend.

This law firm stands heads and tails above the high falutin' big firms who promise you everything and steal your money. Go with Pels Law. The best in the state or the country.

However, Mr Pels was always responsive an professional in his interactions with myself and family. In addition, he kept our expectations reasonable in terms of timing and conclusion.

The Employment Law Group (TELG) was recommended to me by a partner at a Washington, D.C. law firm,…read moreand my experience fully justified that endorsement. From my initial consultation with Scott Oswald, the firm's principal, through my work with attorney Kellee Kruse, I was consistently impressed by their professionalism, expertise, and dedication. They took the time to thoroughly evaluate my case and demonstrated a clear commitment to achieving the best possible outcome for my employment situation. Kellee was particularly responsive and communicative, always making herself available to answer questions and keeping me well-informed of developments throughout the process. I highly recommend The Employment Law Group for any employment-related matters, regardless of complexity. Their thoughtful approach and level of service make them a worthwhile investment.

I paid for a consultation with this firm seeking strategic legal advice regarding an intense…read moreworkplace dispute involving documented manager misconduct and severe retaliation. Unfortunately, the counsel I received from Nicholas Woodfield was incredibly shallow, and his conduct was entirely unprofessional. When discussing an escalation strategy regarding corporate misconduct, the attorney gave me narrow, bare-minimum technical advice regarding harassment definitions, even incorrectly referencing a non-existent "Employment Rights Act of 1964" instead of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act. When I tried to interject to let him know I was already fully aware of these basic concepts, he cut me off and said, "Just let me finish." He completely failed to address the broader context of retaliation law, temporal proximity, or the legal leverage a documented paper trail creates against wrongful termination. Furthermore, his analysis completely missed the critical distinction between a narrow statutory lawsuit and corporate governance liability. He failed to see how a meticulously documented paper trail of executive misconduct--such as a CEO manufacturing a fraudulent performance record, prioritizing manual volume over operational utility, and abusing corporate channels to interrogate an employee--creates massive, direct liability for a Board of Directors. Instead of recognizing that a broken internal HR chain and an erratic executive constitute a severe fiduciary and operational risk to an organization, he focused entirely on a retail courtroom vacuum. When discussing presenting my documentation to the Board, he gave a lazy, fear-based warning that the Board could simply turn around and fire me. Yet he completely failed to analyze the other side of that equation: what legal and corporate-governance consequences could arise once the Board was formally placed on notice of documented executive misconduct and then failed to adequately address it. He never walked me through the potential significance of Board knowledge, subsequent retaliation, corporate ratification, negligent retention or supervision, or potential fiduciary-duty implications. Those were precisely the kinds of legal risks and leverage I was paying an employment attorney to identify. What makes this lack of analysis even more appalling is the attorney's own published professional record. His firm highlights his representation of Donna Jackson in a major retaliation case resulting in a restored $650,000 jury verdict, involving adverse employment actions after an employee reported discrimination. His firm also highlights his representation of Matthew Drake in an appellate whistleblower case establishing, under the federal Whistleblower Protection Act, that a whistleblower did not need to prove an actual violation of law where the applicable reasonable-belief standard was satisfied. This attorney had substantial professional experience with both retaliation following internal reporting and the important distinction between proving an underlying legal violation and determining whether a disclosure can nevertheless receive legal protection. Yet he emphasized that the Board could fire me and that the underlying conduct I described was not illegal, without meaningfully analyzing whether my existing or contemplated disclosures could qualify for protection under the laws applicable to my situation. The sophistication reflected in his own published case history was completely absent from the consultation I paid for. To make matters worse, he interrogated me with completely uncalled-for questions like "Why do you think he is acting like this?" and "Why are you working there?"--subtly shifting the burden onto me rather than analyzing the documented facts. He even trivialized documented executive misconduct by reducing it to a personal claim - saying that it seems that my dad and I simply "don't get along." He capped it off saying that I "don't have to work there." I did not pay for a legal consultation to be psychoanalyzed and given excuses for executive misconduct. During our call, I directly told the attorney that he hurt me and was out of line. Instead of taking accountability, he completely dismissed my pain and followed it up with a fake apology. I paid for professional, comprehensive analysis of employee rights and corporate liability, but instead received a complete lack of thoroughness and a total absence of professional empathy. The consultation I had with Mr. Woodfield was a complete waste of time and money. If you are looking for an advocate who will thoroughly analyze your situation and treat you with basic professional respect, look elsewhere.

Got hit with another $2000 court fee that I don't remember hearing about, for a total cost of $7000 to file the 6-8 documents that the court required. At nearly $1000 per page of information - which we had to already provide, seems a steep cost for their efforts.

It has been a great pleasure working with Julie Zhang, Rachel Wei and the team…read more As the first-time family-based green card applicants, we were nervous about what to do, particularly with the immigration polices uncertainties during the period of government administration changes. The kindness, encouragement, patience, and professional support offered by this team over the entire process has been invaluable for us. It is the team's detail-oriented approach, flawless document preparation, and timely hands-on help that enabled us to receive EAD, AP, and Green card approvals as expected, and the entire process to complete with less than four months. Before deciding to work with the Oliver-Zhang Law, we had contacted a few law firms, but not until after we were impressed by Rachel in a consultation could we believe that we found a representation that we can rely on. During the hour-long session, Rachel showed her deep knowledge in immigration law, addressed our questions/concerns in a simple and easy-to-understand way; the path forward was highlighted clearly and convincing. Over the course of preparation, the communication channel has been clear, and the team has always been ready to provide timely guidance and support; when we were frustrated by the challenges and delays in preparation of the required supporting documents, Rachel and Annjelika have been always available with encouragement and support. On all the major activities along the case process, guidance on what to do has always been clear, and advice on DOs and DON'Ts has been always provided in detail and timely manner. When receiving the USCIS interview notice we were kind of stressed, but the stress was soon relieved after the mock interview session, which was so well prepared, thorough, and informative. Again, we were deeply impressed by the professionalism of the lawyers who attended the training session, who provided so many valuable advice, and invaluable encouragement. Julie's presence during the USCIS Interview offering her timely support was certainly another credit to the reliable services of the law firm. Once again, we appreciate Rachel and Julie's experience and knowledge in immigration laws, and Annjelika's continuous support and always keeping things on track. We strongly recommend the immigration law representation by the law firm of Oliver-Zhang Law.

After this, I was assigned to another attorney within the firm. The representation itself was fine, but I did feel that there was unneeded back-and-forth at times, with each message being billed at a rate of 6 minutes, it all adds up. The tipping point was when I emailed asking if we could reach out to the other party's representation and also asked if there were any strategies to move toward a resolution. I received a response stating "It is good to hear from you. It probably makes sense for you to reach out to [other party regarding my question] and the need to reach a resolution. If you are able to reach an agreement, then we can help you to memorialize its terms." I was surprised when I was charged for this, and when I asked if I was being charged, I was ignored. Finally, when I asked to end my relationship with the firm and requested a refund of my retainer, the amount billed for the aforementioned email response was deducted. While it was only ~$40, my question was not even answered. I was offered a 15 minute consultation at a later time, but since I'm no longer a client, asked if that was something I would even be able to use. A week later and I have not received a response. I would be cautious of this firm if your situation is not cut and dry and to whom you are assigned. In my experience, Soo Keithley is fantastic, but others may leave you wanting for more.

Let's just say I have experience now with other divorce attorneys in the area, and it's worth your time to keep looking because you can do much better. A lot of the other posters' negative experiences with Soo and her firm are very familiar and similar to my own. In my opinion, professionalism is a huge issue with this firm. Ultimately and I cannot emphasize this enough -- this firm became just as, if not more, stressful to deal with than the high conflict divorce I was embroiled in. And that is not a feeling you want with your attorney who is supposed to advocate for your interests.
