Patricialeyi Lei

I met with Mark Jackman last week Friday to discuss a document that required a legal review before submitting for signature. He was very insightful and knowledgeable in regards employment law. The conversation was very pleasant and he provided me with legal information that was helpful that would guide me in my own review of the document. I would definitely contact the law firm again and provide a referral to anyone who asked. I had a successful outcome and I would use the same law firm again. THANK YOU!!!

I had a strategy session with Madison - she was phenomenal. She had answers to questions that I hadn’t even asked yet.

These are not fun situations to be in, if you have any legal questions regarding employment you should absolutely schedule a session.

Years ago, I had a negative experience with a different law firm and was unsure what to expect from Ackhar Law. Let me just say this. The experience was professional, timely, and most of all effective. Charles, Alicia, and Babak made this experience seamless and took care of all things big and small. I am extremely greatful. If you have an employment issue, you NEED to give this office a call.
