Honest, expert guidance during a difficult time--highly recommended. 10/10…read more I cannot recommend Jeffrey Risman and the team at Risman & Risman highly enough. During an incredibly difficult situation, I interviewed about 15 different law firms who all wanted my case. I easily chose Risman & Risman because Jeffrey immediately came across as honest and a true expert in his field. Now that my case is closed, I can confirm that my instinct was right. What impressed me most was that everything played out exactly as Jeffrey said it would. There were no surprises, just steady, expert guidance. Every person I interacted with at the office matched that level of kindness and knowledge. If you want a lawyer who is honest, compassionate, and knows exactly what they are doing, call Risman & Risman

Jeff especially has been nothing but helpful and patient in his approach. I highly recommend Risman and Risman. It's hard to find this kind of customer service and compassion when it comes to matters of the law. They listen and really work hard to help your situation. 10/10 experience. I would definitely use them again and have referred them as well.

What seemed like an impossible feat was not impossible for Mark Sherman and his team. I needed…read moreMark's help with a very complicated DCF case and his teammate, Kathy Bella (a former DCF employee and current expert on how things work with DCF) worked together to gather evidence that negated many lies that hurt me and my children. They were passionate and relentless in helping me through the worst time in my life and laid out the facts in a simple and unarguable way that reversed a substantiation. Mark and Kathy's professionalism with me and DCF was remarkable. They are truly the best of the best in every single way. I can not thank Mark and Kathy enough for their enormous help and for going above and beyond what I would have gotten from any other lawyer.

I became aware of this business after having problems with CT Unemployment. DOL sent me letters…read morestating that they Overpaid me. The totals for all 3 instances was over $20,000. My circumstances were complicated due to the fact that I filed for being Laid Off from one Employer due to COVID-19. My second employer temporarily closed and we are 10 month employees so we don't get paid and are not eligible to collect over the summer. The daycare I had my pink slip from was year round, but due to COVID-19, they kept quite a few employees laid off due to lack of enrollment. It was a very complicated process to file waivers, appeals, etc. Mica Notz from Employee Rights was very knowledgeable. We had multiple conversations before, during, and after each process. She knows the Law and Rights of the employees. She questioned each part of the denials and had Statutes to back up her reasoning. She was professional and confident during my phone in appeals. I couldn't have asked for a better outcome. Without Mica Notz and Employee Rights,North Haven, CT, I would be facing years of paying back for overpayments that were not my fault. Mica has the experience to get positive results for her clients. The cost is very reasonable, especially for the amount of time and work that she does on behalf of her clients.

This was the best move I made going to Mica. I never collected before and when I was told my…read moreemployer was going to appeal I was lost. By chance I picked this firm EMPLOYEE RIGHTS ADVOCACY they stay with you all the way and explain what is going on. Great Company. Would use again in a NEW YORK MINUTE

My first time having to request legal advice. also being a…read moreforeigner, I wanted to be sure of my future. Got some important documents to be reviewed, I am very unfamiliar with legal papers, it can be very overwhelming. (Contacted multiple attorney prior , some were already closed, some told me to wait the following week but with no guarantee to be called back on Monday.) I reached the office After hours on a Friday , Joseph Nohavicka answered, he asked me to forward the file. Later on, I got a text that he reviewed my email, and that he will go through with me the next day. The following day (Saturday) He helped me to understand paragraph by paragraph, suggested some addition. I will definitely recommend this law office Great services, effective and very understanding Totally worth the money Thank you for your service Lise

I've worked with them twice on my various physician employment contracts. I reached out initially 2…read moreyears ago and received a response right away. Alex gave me a call just a few hours later that evening, the office sent me an engagement letter the next day, I was going over my contract with Laura later that same week. Of course I reviewed the contracts myself, however I don't know what I don't know. On our phone appointment, Laura walked me through every paragraph to make sure I understood it all correctly and made sure to add in what I needed before sending a drafted revision. By the end, I was comfortable with what we drafted and I signed the contracts. I recently worked with her again, and the process was seamless. I had a very last minute opportunity and needed the contract reviewed quickly. I actually forgot to send her a copy of the contract ahead of time and sent it in minutes before our phone appointment. She was able to look it over anyway and we continued with our phone appointment as scheduled! We had our phone appointment on a Friday and she had the drafted revision back to me on Monday. I did not expect the turnaround to be so quick, but I am grateful that it was. The initial fee was $1200 I believe (I had 1 contract and a second smaller contract). It would've been a bit less if only had the one contract to go over. The second time I was given a discount as a returning client, around $800. Worth every penny in my opinion. All of my communication with Granovsky & Sundaresh has been pleasant and efficient. I'd absolutely recommend working with Laura. She's personable, friendly, and quick to respond.

The person who was to represent them, and advocate for them, completely ignored them. She barely spent time with my children, and refused to meet with their teachers.

She was also not legally permitted to serve as a GAL during the period of our case, and she misrepresented that fact to us.
