My lawyer Sherry Liu really helps me out. I consulted this attorney regarding a workplace dispute I experienced in California, which involved unfair treatment and concerns related to workplace conduct. From the initial consultation, the attorney was very straightforward and professional. Instead of making promises, they carefully reviewed the details of my situation and explained what aspects could potentially fall under employment law, what evidence would be important, and what the overall process might look like. Throughout the case, communication was consistent and clear. I was kept informed whenever there were updates, and my questions were always answered in a timely and practical way. That level of responsiveness made a big difference during a stressful time. The case was ultimately resolved through a settlement. While every situation is different, I appreciated having clear guidance and a realistic understanding of my options throughout the process. Overall, I had a professional and reassuring experience. I would recommend at least scheduling a consultation if you are dealing with a workplace or employment-related issue in California and want to understand your rights. read more

Filled out online form a week ago. Never heard from them. Called Mon, Wed and again today Thursday, and got their ongoing automated voicemail telling me to fill out the online form. Left 3 messages for them in one week and never heard back. Wow....so professional! You can be busy with court cases, and take 30 seconds to write an email or send a text letting your potential clients know you received their message and will get back to them! IS THIS THE LAW FIRM YOU WANT TO REPRESENT YOU? I THINK NOT! read more

On top of that, she is warm and supportive, which really makes the whole process less stressful. I'm very grateful for her help and would definitely recommend her to anyone with workplace-related matters! read more

I'm not one to write reviews so when I do, it speaks volumes about the service I've received. I'd like to preface that there is no such employment that is worth your health. I struggled quietly for a couple of years with my previous employer. I thought having worked there for 7 years proved I was of value. When three other law firms turned me down because they thought I didn't have a strong case, Tamara was there in my corner. It wasn't until I spoke with her that I fully realized what was happening to me. She was truly a godsend. She was with me every step of the way and cared about the discrimination/retaliation I was facing. Losing the job took a toll on me mentally and physically and I can honestly say that she saved my life. I'm so grateful for people like her who fight for the "little people," the underrepresented, the POC's. A settlement was reached that I am 100% satisfied with and all because she took the time to listen. read more

Tamara Freeze is a very ethical and compassionate attorney. She does not nickel and dime you for every little thing. She truly cares about her clients well being and will fight for you. If you have been mistreated at work, look no further. I highly recommend her to get the job done with integrity, talent and experience. Highly recommend. read more

Tamara Freeze is a very knowledgeable, strategic attorney who calculates every move. Tamara is the best attorney I have ever worked with. From our first meeting, she explained everything to me in terms I could easily understand and was always very responsive when I had questions. What I was impressed with the most was that she's very persuasive, determined, and does not give up. Furthermore, it helps that she is a trial lawyer- that means if the case must go to trial, she's just not going to give your case to somebody else and she will take it to court and continue to fight! I was given the justice that I deserved, and I am forever grateful. Tamara's legal representation restored my faith in the justice system. I highly recommend Tamara Freeze and her law firm Workplace Justice Advocates as they are experienced, knowledgeable, and perform everything in a timely matter. read more

Tamara Freeze and her team at Workplace Justice Advocates are a great group of talented employment law professionals. They are well versed in employment law and are able to represent and defend the rights of their clients to help correct workplace injustices. She represents her client's cases strongly and works hard to reach favorable outcomes and help to correct situations in a legal system that often works against the employee. I am pleased with her skills and professionalism and I recommend her representation. read more

I very thankful for Attorney Xinyue Liu help with my labor dispute case. As English not my first language, I worried about understand legal things, but Xinyue very patient and explain everything clear. She fight hard for my rights and always keep me informed. Her work very professional and dedicated. I highly recommend Xinyue Liu and her team at Workplace Justice Advocates for anyone need help with employment issues. read more

Workplace Justice recently working on my case with former employer and were very helpful in guiding me. When I had an issue with the case they were very supportive of what I wanted as far as the outcome. I had a good experience with them and highly recommend them. read more

There is no one I would rather have in my corner than Tamara and her team. Their professionalism, knowledge of the law, and drive to prosecute the case are unsurpassed in the Plaintiffs' employment lawyer field. If you have a case and are lucky enough to be represented by the Workplace Justice Advocates, believe me, they will leave no stone unturned to provide you the best representation you could hope for. Tamara and her team do not give up when the employer defendants and their lawyers make a case difficult. They will also fight tooth and nail to protect your (plaintiff's) privacy in the case. They will also tell you if you don't have a good case and not mislead you with unrealistic promises. All in all, if anyone has an employment discrimination issue or believes they were wrongfully terminated, I recommend Workplace Justice Advocates. read more

I would like to use this opportunity to thank Tamara Freeze and the whole team of Workplace Justice Advocates for your amazing work, your patience and professionalism. For those of you who are facing injustice but still unsure whether you need to hire an attorney, talk to Tamara! She would always listen without any judgment and will give you her honest feedback. If they take your case, you are in good hands! For me personally, it was the best possible experience with outstanding results. read more

I was helpless when my employer decided to retaliate me for calling them out on their wrong doing by basically forcing me to quit my job. I reached out to many other law firms, but they didn't want to take my case because I didn't have enough evidence for them (They only wanted free win and what makes them money). But Tamara was the only lawyer who stepped up and fought for me, and eventually leading to a settlement that I was 100% satisfied with. If you are looking someone to fight for you when you are wronged by your employer, she is the best lawyer in OC! read more

Timeliness was an issue for me when interacting with Workplace Justice Advocates. The other one-star reviews seemed spot-on to me; it's been over a full week, and I have heard NO word from the attorney. First of all, look at the five-star reviews on this page. No doubt there are truly some happy clients here, but I noticed a strange pattern in that they appear to be written by friends, family members, coworkers/classmates who are acting as a ratings boost for the office. There's nothing I can prove, but take a look and judge for yourself. Second of all, the woman answering the phones is absolutely wonderful. I don't know if she's the paralegal, intern, secretary, front desk worker, scheduler, administrative assistant...whatever she is, I found her to be attentive, responsive, and an overall lovely person to interact with. So I first reach out to the office online, and the paralegal reaches out to me the same day, and does a quick phone intake. Great! She says to expect the attorney to reach out within three days. That's not ideal, given my issue is extremely stressful and time sensitive, but I get it. Welcome to the real world, MK! Three days pass, and the weekend comes. OK, so they're probably not going to get back to me over the weekend. That's too bad, as my time sensitive and stressful issue is only getting worse. But come Monday, I can begin the process, right? Monday comes and goes...no word. Tuesday comes, and I decide to call again. The same lovely paralegal answers, and says that she will inform the attorney that I reached out again, and I should hang tight as she will get to me in no time. OK--I guess sometimes you have to wait for quality representation. Wednesday comes, and I reach out again. The same poor paralegal informed me that "the attorney is busy in deposition" and will have a large delay in getting back to me. I mean, she could have informed me of that originally. And now, over a full WEEK has passed, with NOTHING. I've reached out to other attorneys meanwhile, some of whom have spoken to me on the same day. I'll probably get that return call from Workplace Justice Advocates on this same time next year. read more

Workplace Justice Advocates did an amazing job. They kept me updated with my case and were great in explaining every procedure and how things will progress. Tamara did a great job advocating for me. I couldn't have had a better person representing me. My case settled and I am more than happy with the results. Thank you so much Workplace Justice Advocates! read more

Tamara is an excellent attorney and was very helpful and informative. Thanks once again! read more

This review is way overdue. Tamara is an awesome trial lawyer who will never let her clients get bullied! I worked with her several years ago and was so impressed by her knowledge and skills. Let's just put it this way: the employer's attorney was clearly fearful of her! She is 5'1" or so, maybe less than 100 lbs, but she is tough. I wouldn't want to be on the opposite side of her. Additionally, she is honest and ethical which is very rare to find in the legal field. I would recommend to anyone I know! read more

Called in about a Consultation early in the week on Monday and it's now Thursday and no response. My case is a workplace harassment already dealing with HR and Workers Comp so it's very time sensitive.Apparently my case is still in the queue and hasn't even been reviewed after 4 days which is ridiculous.Don't waste your time there's plenty of other attorneys who will make you a priority and get back to you in a timely manner. read more

Once I found myself in need of an employment lawyer, as one would expect, I asked around for recommendations. None of the recommended attorneys appeared to fully understand the nuances and strengths of the case or that they would give it the priority and attention needed to effectively resolve it. Except for Tamara Freeze - she was able to immediately grasp the details of my case, lay her strategy out, and reassure me in the process. Tamara is a great attorney with vast knowledge, experience, and tenacity to spare. Having her on my side during a lawsuit made all the difference. I highly recommend Tamara. Her overall ability to produce results and treat her clients honestly and effectively is unparalleled. read more

Don't waste your time. They sent me 2 emails stating they will not view my case not stating why. I asked for referrals to other lawyers, they said no referrals for me. It's very frustrating when you deal with workplace harassment, retaliation and bullying yet have no place to turn to for help. This is obviously NOT a place to help you out either. I went ahead and filed a complaint with the department of fair housing and employment which will hopefully help my personal work case. read more

Tamara and her team were great! For a woman like myself in business, taking the first step to even contact an attorney regarding workplace inequality can be very difficult. Tamara made me feel comfortable from the very beginning and made the entire process from start to finish go extremely smooth. I highly recommend Workplace Justice Advocates. read more

Tamara Freeze is everything you're looking for in an attorney. Let's face it, if you're looking at attorney reviews, you're in crisis and it is essential to avoid wasting your TIME and MONEY with an ineffective approach. The entire process of securing competent legal representation is full of uncertainty. Finding any attorney to take your case and finding a competent attorney to take your case are distinctly different events. Like a frog on slow boil, you won't know you've got a bad one until it's too late. I contacted Tamara Freeze initially through her website, next in follow up contacts from her intake personnel and then direct conversations with Tamara. The intake and phone interviews between client and attorney are vital and Tamara's team was the best I have encountered. The intake sets up a more effective direct call with the attorney and, with Tamara, I recognized immediately she is A) a true advocate and, B) she is strategic, she is not interested in a pyrrhic victory; she wants your win to be substantive. There are a few things that set this firm apart. 1) to begin, they call back!, 2) their intake people actually listen and are probably the best experience I've had with any law firm at passing on an accurate portrayal of events to the attorney, 3) the attorney, Tamara Freeze, is exactly what you're hoping to find; she listens and is authoritative; in my circumstance that meant helping me realize that my current situation was best pursued at this time in another venue. Even then, she did not just pass me off or refer me out, she provided guidance and tactics. It's important to recognize, this is not some TV show, it's a long drawn out court process and, in order to prevail, it takes legal strategies that most clients are not familiar with. My circumstance, if it continues to deteriorate, would fall into the area of specialty that Tamara has proven to be supremely successful with. She did not take my case but she did take my calls (several, THANKS) and provided great insight as to a more effective legal strategy for me to pursue. I have referred Tamara without hesitation to others and I believe she is currently representing one of those referrals in an active proceeding. Tamara, thanks again and much appreciated. read more

Tamara and her team are very amazing and knowledgable. They helped us through a tough and stressful time. We never felt bullied or helpless. We always felt confident in the work they do! Thank you so much for all you that was done. We are truly grateful. read more

I would like to express my experience with this company so that other people are aware of their customer service. I had high hopes for their name being an "advocate" and also based on the online positive reviews. I was very much disappointed. First I would like to thank the person who took all my information for 25 minutes her name is Susan. She showed compassion and empathy on the phone and guaranteed me after the end of the conversation that someone will get back to me with status and update if I even had a case to file. I waited for about a week with no phone call. Waited for the second week... Left a voicemail. Tried again on the third week.. called and left another voicemail. In short, I have gotten no response or return call or even a courtesy call for a month now even just to state they were not able to help. It takes a lot of courage for someone to reach out for help and to divulge sensitive information on top of that I'm sure most people are already stressed out from the situation that occurred with them. I'm not sure what happened to where the ball was dropped on just returning a simple phone call. All is forgiven though but I just wanted to let others know that this might happen to them as well. read more

Outstanding Legal Service with an even better final result. Exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend to anyone with Employee Law problems. read more

If you're looking for someone to be on your team and advocate for you, this is the place to go. Tamara and Shirin made a stressful situation feel comfortable without sacrificing the drive and aggression needed to settle a case in their clients favor. I will always recommend their firm to family and friends after the experience I had with them today. I am very satisfied with the services they provided me and I'm glad I didn't go with anyone else! read more

WJA is one of the top-tier plaintiff employment law firms in the state. They are aggressive litigators and talented trial attorneys, a rare combination to find in one firm.

I highly recommend this firm. read more

She helped provide insightful information and walked me through step by step during a wrongful termination case with my employer. I highly recommend her expertise and tenacious attitude to anyone dealing with a legal case against their employer. read more

I'm very happy that I found Tamara. I retained her services and was very happy with results. She is diligent, professional, experienced and excellent communicator. Before Tamara took my case, I spoke to several other law firms and decided that she would provide me with best outcome. I'm very happy with that decision and would defiantly work with her again in the future. I highly recommend her. read more

Tamara and the team at Workplace Justice Advocates helped settle a complex wrongful termination claim on my behalf. Tamara was steadfast in her approach over the period of time it took to bring this case to a conclusion. She fought diligently and protected my rights at every turn. Her experience and skill helped us achieve a most favorable result. She was also very responsive through out the entire process. I was very impressed with her tenacity, perseverance and exceptional knowledge of the law. If you ever find yourself in an unfortunate employment circumstance, I couldn't recommend Tamara highly enough. I am forever grateful. read more

Working with Robert was a great experience! He was always very attentive to our case, questions and concerns, and handled everything quickly and professionally. He was easy to get ahold of, quick to respond, and got an excellent result for us. Very happy, and while I hope to never need his services again, I would definitely come back again if I did. read more

Tamara advised me on an employment law matter. By any objective measure, Tamara is one of the leading attorneys in her area of expertise, which is attributable to the fact that she has consistently secured 7 and 8-figure settlements and verdicts for her clients. In my opinion, however, what really sets Tamara apart is her compassion and calm demeanor. In both her words and actions, Tamara lives up to her firm's name; she is a forceful and effective workplace justice advocate. read more

Workplace Justice Advocates lives up to their firm name. They are excellent and ethical attorneys who also genuinely care about their clients. I was lucky to be one. You can trust Ms. Freeze and Mr. Odell to handle your case and just focus on living life the best you can during the legal process. They really dominate in the courtroom. read more

Let me start off this review by saying thank you to the attorney I spoke with Robert Odell. Upon hearing my case he realized they wouldn't be able to help me. Robert did however explain my rights, and offered me other attorneys outside of his firm that were more suited for my particular case. Robert spent 30 min on the phone with me regardless of the fact he was consulting me for free. Robert is very informed of today's employment laws. He is more than willing to go the extra mile to make sure you understand everything he explains. Robert is proof that there is still good in the world and not everyone is straight money seeking heartless people. Thank you Mr.Odell for the recommendations... Cheers and God Bless read more

Tamara is a fellow lawyer and an outstanding employment law specialist with the very top notch educational and professional credentials, the only one I refer my friends and family to. Not only she is highly skilled, impeccably competent, but she's direct and honest, and that's an absolutely critical and rare combination. There is no secret that there are some plaintiff counsel out there who - out of desperation or professional incompetence - would entertain any case giving the client false sense of hope. Tamara's approach is different: she is always upfront about the case merits and would never mislead her clients or prospective clients. At the same time, make no mistake, she will fight for her clients with full force and well equipped with her expertise and hard work, the settlements she gets for her clients speak for themselves. A good friend of mine found herself in a difficult situation. She reached out to a law firm led by one of the most nationally recognized figures; she was advised that they weren't sure she had any case. Tamara, to the contrary, thought otherwise and was proven right. I trust her judgement unhesitatingly. read more

A few weeks ago, I found myself in the unfortunate position of having to leave my employer, after nearly six years. I was of the opinion that some labor and other laws had been broken during my employment. Having never had to speak with an attorney about such a matter, I was uncertain where to turn. I had the good fortune of finding Tamara Freeze on the internet. After reading her bio, I knew this was the best place for me to start. Because harassment was involved in my concerns with my previous employer, I knew I wanted to speak with a woman about what I had endured. Tamara called me back less than an hour after I left her a message. She spoke with me for over thirty minutes, up until the very last minute before she had to leave for another appointment. I can tend to be a talker and appreciated Tamara's style of effectively, yet kindly, reeling me in and staying on topic. At the conclusion of our conversation, she did not necessarily think her firm would be able to represent me, should the matter go to trial. What I appreciated most is that she gave me great advice, made me feel at ease and talked to me as though I was a friend, not a stranger calling for the first time. She suggested I begin by writing a demand letter stating what I thought I was owed based on my concerns. Not only did she give me great advice, she asked me to keep her informed! It wasn't just a "We can't help you, sorry" type of attitude. Tamara still cared about the outcome of my situation. I am very fortunate that her advice led to an amicable separation from my prior company and that neither sides wanted a court trial. I would refer Tamara Freeze to anyone who has concerns about the treatment they received in their workplace. I experienced first hand the way she cares for people she is not representing. I can only imagine how well she would take care of those she does represent throughout the courtroom process. Attorneys can often get a bad wrap. Tamara is definitely one of the good ones and has a heart to match her ability to win your case! Do not hesitate to call her if you think you have been mistreated by your employer! read more
