Honest, expert guidance during a difficult time--highly recommended. 10/10…read more I cannot recommend Jeffrey Risman and the team at Risman & Risman highly enough. During an incredibly difficult situation, I interviewed about 15 different law firms who all wanted my case. I easily chose Risman & Risman because Jeffrey immediately came across as honest and a true expert in his field. Now that my case is closed, I can confirm that my instinct was right. What impressed me most was that everything played out exactly as Jeffrey said it would. There were no surprises, just steady, expert guidance. Every person I interacted with at the office matched that level of kindness and knowledge. If you want a lawyer who is honest, compassionate, and knows exactly what they are doing, call Risman & Risman

I have contacted the firm for legal advice and potential questions that have come up in my career…read more I have never had such a caring and kind response from lawyers. Jeff especially has been nothing but helpful and patient in his approach. I highly recommend Risman and Risman. It's hard to find this kind of customer service and compassion when it comes to matters of the law. They listen and really work hard to help your situation. 10/10 experience. I would definitely use them again and have referred them as well.

I've worked with them twice on my various physician employment contracts. I reached out initially 2…read moreyears ago and received a response right away. Alex gave me a call just a few hours later that evening, the office sent me an engagement letter the next day, I was going over my contract with Laura later that same week. Of course I reviewed the contracts myself, however I don't know what I don't know. On our phone appointment, Laura walked me through every paragraph to make sure I understood it all correctly and made sure to add in what I needed before sending a drafted revision. By the end, I was comfortable with what we drafted and I signed the contracts. I recently worked with her again, and the process was seamless. I had a very last minute opportunity and needed the contract reviewed quickly. I actually forgot to send her a copy of the contract ahead of time and sent it in minutes before our phone appointment. She was able to look it over anyway and we continued with our phone appointment as scheduled! We had our phone appointment on a Friday and she had the drafted revision back to me on Monday. I did not expect the turnaround to be so quick, but I am grateful that it was. The initial fee was $1200 I believe (I had 1 contract and a second smaller contract). It would've been a bit less if only had the one contract to go over. The second time I was given a discount as a returning client, around $800. Worth every penny in my opinion. All of my communication with Granovsky & Sundaresh has been pleasant and efficient. I'd absolutely recommend working with Laura. She's personable, friendly, and quick to respond.

Got some important documents to be reviewed, I am very unfamiliar with legal papers, it can be very overwhelming.

Later on, I got a text that he reviewed my email, and that he will go through with me the next day. The following day (Saturday) He helped me to understand paragraph by paragraph, suggested some addition. I will definitely recommend this law office Great services, effective and very understanding Totally worth the money Thank you for your service Lise

Their team is nothing short of excellent. Max Bracero, in particular, was outstanding. His communication, poise, efficiency, and dedication played a pivotal role in the success of my case. Despite unexpected challenges that prolonged the process--due to factors outside of the firm's control--Max remained diligent and unwavering in his approach. I was thrilled to receive the news that he had secured a favorable outcome. He certainly delivered!!! A heartfelt thank you to Max and the entire team at Phillips & Associates. Especially the receptionists who demonstrated professionalism and exceptional etiquette at all times. I truly appreciate the dedication and expertise of everyone involved. I will never go elsewhere.

Don't TRUST this law firm, they will lie and lead you on…read more Jesse Weinstein was assigned to my ADA compliance and Sexual harassment based upon a public accommodation. He advised me and lead me on by advising me was would be filing my case in court, due to the defendants ignoring his demand letter. When I noticed this had not happened, after some months passing. I began following up with him in phone calls, left voicemails, and sent emails all of which yielding negative results with no communication back from him. I received a phone call from his associate attorney underneath him by the name of Samantha Solomotis, stating that he wanted to hold a call "to discuss the NEXT STEPS" with me via Microsoft Teams. Upon on the call, he kept coercing me to show myself, to him on camera, which I felt was not called for. Your not my employer and to arrange a Microsoft Teams call, to notify me that I had no case, that you didn't receive a response from the defense due to you admitting that you purposely did not send them a demand letter, he was hinged and was annoyed because of I kept following up with him. I will also be making a complaint against him since I have a witness who was present and overheard his whole conversation. Poor law firm all of their attorneys are careless and rude, you literally did not represent me zealously nor had my best interest. If you had no plans to file a civil suit, you shouldn't have agreed to work my case. He advised me as a client for me to file my own civil lawsuit against the company! That he was not going after the company since it lacked structure and it's not a Fortune 500 company! This law firm is predatory, they're sharks they prey upon and take advantage of those who are victims and sometimes make you their victims. I submitted all my evidence and they were in favor of the defense instead of their own client. Atrocious behavior. You repeated the same thing the defense did when I kept contacting them to advocate for myself.

On a recommendation, I reached out to Tiffany at Young & Ma regarding what would become a…read morediscrimination lawsuit against my former employer. What really stood out to me at the beginning was getting a near-immediate response after I contacted her, followed by a phone call. Since things were very raw at the time, this was incredibly appreciated and made me feel heard from the start. In addition to being very empathetic, Tiffany told me the truth. I knew what to expect from the start, and she kept me in the loop as the case progressed. She asked me the right questions which provided insight into facts and issues where the law was broken that I didn't even realize. I could go on and on about how professionally the case was handled, but the most important thing is that Tiffany made me feel confident that I was right and that I was justified in my allegations. That will always be something that I'll remember about a situation that was scary and confusing. When we settled, I walked into the courtroom at peace and told my story. She was even so aware of my feelings that she calmed my nerves during the settlement conference with her witty and whip-smart personality. She helped me land on a number that was fair--and thrilled doesn't even describe the feeling that I felt when we settled. Young & Ma is superb, and I wholeheartedly recommend them.

I then get an email saying my documentation "isn't sufficient for us to take on your case". Huh? I haven't even had the consultation yet so how do you know? When I pushed back, Christopher's responses were all over the place. First it was, 'we are a small firm...'. Firstly, that's immaterial. Secondly, if that restricts your ability to provide free consultations then don't offer them. It's like he was blaming me for his company's limitations. He then agreed to meet with me after I understood that "Please, however, do not burry (sic) me in emails and recordings." He scheduled two times with me and didn't show for either. Do Better.
