Shawn Bernard

Something happened to me at work last winter. No one believed me. No one seemed to care.

I went in 1 hour early for my meeting and Mark was already in the office. Even though I was extremely early and dealing with a massive anxiety attack at this point, Mark provided me with a private space to calm down and offered me water while I waited.

Charles arrived on time and listened to what I had to say. I felt like he believed what I was saying. He told me what I needed to hear and for the first time in a very long time I felt like I was being heard. Worth every penny.

I was treated with dignity and respect throughout my entire process with Achkar Law.

If you want to be treated like a person by intelligent people who will take your issues seriously this will be the law firm you want to deal with. Integrity.

Thank you for hearing me out

Have a good day

Response from the owner:Hi Shawn, thank you for sharing your story with us. We understand how difficult and isolating it can be when workplace issues aren’t taken seriously, and we’re glad Mark and Charles were able to provide you with the space, respect, and support you needed. It means a lot to hear that you felt listened to and treated with dignity; that’s exactly how we want every client to feel. We truly appreciate your trust in our team of employment lawyers and wish you the very best moving forward.
