Following a merger between two businesses, my executive leadership role was suddenly and unexpectedly eliminated. At 5pm on a Tuesday, I was presented with a five-page document that I was asked to review and sign. The language of the separation agreement seemed brutal and mean-spirited. I knew I would need help before signing anything. I researched labor law and reached out to the Fish Law Firm for advice. Very soon after leaving a message, Ms. Kim Hilton reached out to me. I cannot begin to describe the immediate sense of security and support I felt after talking with her. Living in an "at will" work state, I knew that I could be terminated for any reason at all and that my employer was holding most of the cards. Almost immediately, Ms. Hilton drafted a letter to my employer's attorney and began negotiations. All of my concerns were accurately and pointedly shared with my previous employer. After a short time, I felt comfortable signing that final document. I know that without Kim Hilton and the Fish Law Firm, I never would have been able to manage this outcome. Although I learned early in my career to negotiate the end before signing a new job offer, I will be smart enough next time to engage Fish Law Firm early in the process before my start date... it will save sleepless nights and worry to have the Fish Law Firm on my side. read more

I am beyond thrilled to write this glowing review for Attorney Kim Hilton of Fish Law Workplace Law Partners. She is truly a rockstar attorney who went above and beyond to assist me in filing an EEOC claim against my former employer for whistleblower and retaliation related to reporting harassment. From the very beginning, Kim demonstrated immense professionalism and dedication to my case. While dealing with the State of Illinois and the EEOC, she remained exceptionally communicative, keeping me informed at every stage of the process. Her thoroughness and attention to detail are unparalleled; she truly dots her i's and crosses her t's! Kim's expertise and strategic approach resulted in securing a generous severance package for me, which exceeded my expectations. Her ability to navigate the complexities of employment law and advocate fiercely on my behalf was nothing short of remarkable. If you're seeking an attorney who is not only proficient and knowledgeable but also genuinely cares about her clients, look no further than Kim Hilton. I couldn't have asked for a better legal representative, and I am incredibly grateful for her unwavering support and expertise throughout this challenging journey. Thank you, Kim, for being exceptional! read more

I recently was let go from a company that I worked for because of the side effects brought on by Epilepsy and the medications I take to prevent seizures. I wasn't 100% sure that I would have a case, but after I was encouraged to look more into the situation by my doctors assistant, I began to ask multiple lawyers. Many said I had no case, but then received a phone call from Fish Law Firm, and it was because FISH LAW FIRM actually contacted me that I realized that they were the only firm I could trust. I couldn't believe how easy it was to work with them. They not only asked all the proper questions, but they were able to answer EVERY question I had. After FISH LAW FIRM was successful with helping me with my case, actually contacted me to see how I was doing. This proves that they not only know HOW to work with people who need help, but they are also willing to GIVE help to those who deserve it. read more

If some one needs any labor/corporate related help..big or small I would strongly suggest you should go to him without a doubt. He had helped me two years ago and when I had thought it was a dead end and I have lost everything.I was mentally exhausted, demoralized and demotivated and dejected but after meeting him I realized that there is a ray of hope. He knows what he is doing and for me he came as an angel. I was introduced to him thru a friend of mine and that was the best thing that has happened to me. Sam (Patel) thank you for introducing me to him. What i liked the most in him and his team is that they are straight and to the point and they don't go in circles. I always had a preconceived notion for a very long time to stay away from attorneys no matter what but he changed my opinion. THANK YOU DAVID FOR HELPING ME OUT. I WISH YOU SUCCESS IN EVERY WALK OF LIFE..... read more

When people think of lawyers, court rooms, litigations it can be often intimidating, confusing or even scary. When I felt I was in the position to go after my former employer, on a google search, I came across a ton of lawyer offices. One stood out above the rest with very good reviews, and that was The Fish Law firm. I had the pleasure of working with Thalia who made the process surprisingly easy. She was always available when I called, and responded to my messages in a timely manner. During the process, she explained everything so I could understand all the legal verbiage that I wouldn't normally understand. After our win, she still kept in contact with me to make sure I was receiving my payments as agreed. She is nothing less than amazing. I would refer this office-especially Thalia-to my family, friends, or anyone looking for an honest lawyer. -JoAnna read more

To be fair, you could say that I'm biased - this is my brother. But, I hope you'll hear me out. David has a really keen sense of fairness. He's helped me out when I was getting financially abused - in situations that most of us would just have to walk away from. David understands the law very deeply, on so many levels, that as a lay person I would have just been lost. He's calm, and smart. He's open minded and creative in his approach. He'll give good advice and let you make your own decisions. I've had the opportunity to work with David twice now and I'm really impressed. He's also just a good guy. I'd try to work with him if you have the opportunity. I don't know the rest of the firm personally. but if he's running it, I'm sure you're in good hands. Good Luck! read more

After searching numerous Legal Firms in an attempt to find one that would at least listen to details of my potential employment claim - but with no success, I decided to expand my search out of my immediate area. I consider it a blessing that I was lead to Fish Law Firm. My initial contact was with Nicole, who treated me with the utmost respect and patience while I gave her details of what the circumstances were surrounding my termination. She was very easy to talk to, and extremely helpful in helping me navigate through the entire situation. As for now, I have no Idea as to whether or not my case will be accepted, but I am comfortable that at least it will be reviewed with honesty. Thank you Nicole for help in this matter!!! read more

We had a unfortunate parting of ways with our employer and needed to seek immediate legal advice. We contacted the Fish Law Firm and got immediately in touch with David Fish. He gave us his full attention to our situation and walked us through what we needed to do. It was unbelievable that we were able to not only get intouch with an attorney, but get his advice and direction on our situation immediately. We didn't have to wait weeks to get an appointment. It is very refreshing to work with a knowledgeable professional who is willing to provide you with such personal attention. It felt as though I was his number one priority. I would recommend The Fish Law Firm to anyone who needs a caring, honest and professional attorney. read more

Absolutely fantastic. I was sued, my business collapsed during Covid, couldn't pay rent. An obvious cash grab by my former landlord under some obscure law despite having operating an LLC & with personal guarantee. Long story short, David & Seth took care of it, quickly, and no doubt saved me from an long, drawn out, headache. Seth was point on my case and was great! It's a strangely comforting feeling knowing you have a great lawyer & firm when you need them. Seth was a thoughtful, calming, calculated influence during my self admitted period of rage. Highly recommend Fish Law. Even worse then needing a lawyer to defend yourself against a frivolous lawsuit is hiring a bad lawyer to defend yourself. Thank you Seth! read more

I called various law firms seeking assistance, having a difficult time with firms not taking my case and or not really taking the time to listen nor provide support in the right direction. When I got in touch with The Fish Law Firm on March 18 2021, all the anxiety and second guessing disappeared. Nicole Sanders, the paralegal took the time to listen, take informative information, and was extremely professional the whole time. Thank you Nicole for exceeding what other law firms can't provide. I look forward to working with The Fish Law Firm regarding my situation, thank you! read more

Another firm referred me to Workplace Law, and Kim Hilton and team guided me through negotiating for owed back compensation from my former non-profit employers, whom I'd had high regard for and loved. The situation was agonizing and heartbreaking for me. Kim helped me understand what I was legally entitled to, and negotiated with persistence. Interpersonally, she was caring, humorous when appropriate, and someone whose voice I came to deeply value. Later, Seth and Martin came on board to help me reach a settlement that was fair and bring a difficult matter to good conclusion. read more

I was very pleased with the services of Kim Hilton from Fish Potter Bolaños, P.C. She was engaged, actively listened, gave great advice and always provided me with a few different choices of paths to take. I very much felt like she was an advocate for me, but at the same time she was objective enough to provide "devil's advocate" scenarios to really make me think through what I wanted to do. I would absolutely recommend her! read more

Fish and Potter Bolaños, P.C. was extremely professional with a time sensitive matter. A consult was taken and I was contacted later the same day by the firm's lawyer, David. He listened carefully and intently, understanding how important this event was to my career. I cannot express how much their expertise and professionalism assisted in my employment matter and career trajectory. I highly recommend this firm. read more
