From my initial consultation with Scott Oswald, the firm's principal, through my work with attorney Kellee Kruse, I was consistently impressed by their professionalism, expertise, and dedication. They took the time to thoroughly evaluate my case and demonstrated a clear commitment to achieving the best possible outcome for my employment situation. Kellee was particularly responsive and communicative, always making herself available to answer questions and keeping me well-informed of developments throughout the process. I highly recommend The Employment Law Group for any employment-related matters, regardless of complexity. Their thoughtful approach and level of service make them a worthwhile investment.

I had an exceptional experience working with Attorney R. Scott Oswald. From the very first…read moreconversation, he made it clear that my situation mattered and that he was fully invested in helping me understand my options. He spent all the time needed -- never rushed, never distracted -- and walked me through the legal landscape with clarity, honesty, and insight. What stood out most was his accessibility and genuine concern. He told me multiple times to call him if anything changed, and he meant it. That level of commitment is rare. His guidance gave me direction at a time when I needed it most, and his professionalism and depth of knowledge were evident in every interaction. If you're looking for an attorney who is not only highly skilled but also truly cares about the people he represents, I cannot recommend Attorney Oswald enough. He exceeded every expectation.

I felt heard, supported, and genuinely represented. I am deeply grateful to Elizabeth and the Tully Rinckey team for their hard work, professionalism, and advocacy.

Beyond Belief Incredible Attorney Who Cares and Works!…read more I found Carol through a referral to handle my military case. She stuck with me for a year through so many of my personal and legal ups and downs, my emotions and health issues because of what happened to me, and she is truly remarkable. To see her in action is tremendous! I've watched an entire room while Carol was presenting and she's so quick with information in terms of citing regulations on the spot against speculative and unsubstantiated remarks coming from the other side. Truly in awe of her abilities. She is more than just an incredible person, but a great attorney. She translated everything to me in plain English, went above and beyond to protect me legally/physically without charging me the extra tens of thousands of dollars she deserved for working long hours on my case, and of course, we received the judgement I needed in order for me to feel safe and try to live my life after trauma. Not trying to be dramatic, but to whomever is reading this, know that Carol is the person you want on your side. I initially approached another attorney (not at this firm) and he told me to "drop it," "don't pursue anything and move on." Carol never did that. She listened and believed in me. I unequivocally recommend Carol (Saroja and Daisy) as your next attorney. Specifically, if you need 5-star representation, go with Ms. Thompson post haste. Why? She is highly effective, brilliant, thoughtful, creative and most of all; she accomplishes the goal of zealous advocacy without insult, injury or raising her voice. She communicates as well to her client (me) often, as she does to judges. Furthermore, her working knowledge of legal standards and your issues - even if based on first impression - is first-class. When? If you have a current attorney (fire them, I mean that with all sincerity), retain her and thank me later. Not all attorneys are created equally. If you are looking for an attorney, bring her on board immediately. I witnessed first hand, her ability to digest voluminous information - distill what was relevant and irrelevant and make cogent arguments. That goes double in a small area where the paucity of effective counsel leaves much to be desired. You have a diamond in the rough with Carol and her team. She does not use superfluous words or enter anything into evidence to make the case for opposing counsel. She understands the burden of proof and uses it effectively and surgically. Background? For context (what is it worth), I never write reviews. Everyone's situation is different. I also put little opinion in the faith of others. However, Carol's representation was so beyond perfection, that I believe I owe it to everyone reading this, that you hire her immediately. What's more, if it matters, I have used five attorneys now, so I believe I know what good and bad lawyering looks like (or should like). Carol represented me in a sensitive matter. She took the matter to its logical conclusion and prepared me and represented my interest before the tribunal very well. First, her legal acumen is without peer. Opposing counsel, while over-matched, was a worthy adversary. Nevertheless, she objected when necessary. She also did not do anything to showboat or appease me for the sake of "getting even". Additionally she made well-reasoned, articulated and ultimately effective arguments on my behalf. Second, her demeanor is even keel. Her temperament is the same. She knows how to calm you down, while also laying the crumbs for the trier of fact to find in your favor. To conclude, her sunny disposition is just who she is; a good-hearted person. However, do not let that disarm you, she is legally lethal when necessary. That said, if you need to win and "beat the case," Carol is who you should go with immediately. Highly, highly recommend Carol and her team. --Very Sincerely, Retired [and now safe] Air Force Veteran.

This is what I wrote about Attorney John Mahoney a few years ago. I was very upset because he…read morecompletely dismissed anything I had to say without listening to the case. Of course I didn't get a reply but that conversation with John was very dismissive. Not sure if he had a bad day or was that his normal demeaner. Either way, I continued my research and went with Solomon Law Firm and she was simply amazing! Despite her cancer diagnosis, she was VERY professional and listed to the case. She took it and long story short, the command settled. Below is the dialog I had with attorney John Mahoney himself. You seem to be a very competent lawyer whom I was hoping to hear me and represent my case. I was very excited to speak with you today after trying well over a month to have a conversation. Unfortunately, I was very disappointed to hear how quickly you were dismissive without even hearing all of what I had to say about my case and trying to discourage me by throwing number like 200k to represent me with a 1% chance of winning. I understand that it might be costly to represent a person, but from the beginning of the conversation, I felt as if you didn't want to hear anything I had to say and just wanted me to stop. All I wanted was justice for the wrong that was done to me and acquire a lawyer to represent me in the right way and I thought that you were that lawyer because of your experience and expertise with matters of this nature. It became apparent that you didn't want to represent me and you have every right to just say no. I just wish that you would have just taken my call back in July and told me that you weren't interested so that I could have found another competent lawyer. I know this will more than likely fall on deaf ears, but I felt the need to address how disappointed I was with our conversation and hope that you don't treat others like this. Have a great Labor Day weekend.
