I cannot recommend this firm more highly! I contacted Maya Risman with a legal issue that I needed help with and after guiding me through the process and working on my behalf, she went above and beyond to get me the best outcome possible. She was amazing. Her knowledge of employment law is outstanding and she was kind and I never, ever felt rushed when speaking with her or calling her with a question. She's patient, extremely competent and very thorough. I could not have had a better lawyer.

I came to the Risman law firm for assistance with a very messy exit from my previous company. At the time I was working for a large company that was going through changes and found myself in a highly abusive situation, feeling completely powerless going against this massive corporation. I needed help and protection and serious advice on how to get out amicably and professionally, while getting what I deserved. I started working with Jeff who guided me through this year long painful battle between said company and myself. The entire time he responded promptly to my emails, calls, and texts at all hours- literally responding late at night and early in the morning during dire times. I cannot put into words how stressful this time in my life was and he gave me the peace of mind I needed. Jeff came up with an executable plan for my exit, and at the time I was nervous/stressed about the plan- in the end he was totally right. Dealing with corporations is a game he clearly knew how to play. It was readily apparent he has experience and knowledge in these situations. I would highly recommend the Risman firm to a friend.

B.H. May 2, 2019

I had such a great free consultation with Jeffery today that I don't think it even should have been free. He didn't try to rush me off the phone it was him that did most of the talking and he kept asking me for more details of my situation to better assess it.

I wasnt looking to hire an attorney for a case but just for some legal perspective from a professional on a work situation I find myself in and he gave me a number for another agency that might be more fitting in terms of cost and the short amount of time that I needed to speak with a lawyer.

If anything should arise with an employer of mine in the future and I actually do need to hire a lawyer I will contact him again.

AD January 23, 2019

Best decision I've made all year was to retain Maya Risman as my legal counsel. I needed help resolving a professional dispute that had gotten very ugly and very unpleasant. I sent queries to several employment lawyers, and Maya was the first to get back to me, full of compassion, common sense and helpful advice. She has since helped me steer the dispute to a positive resolution - a far better outcome than I'd previously expected, and definitely better than what I could have achieved without her counsel. At every step, she was honest, empathetic and understanding, while being scrupulous and tenacious in achieving the best possible outcome for me. She made sure I knew what to expect along way, and that I fully understood my options. Working with Maya, I felt heard and respected. Best of all, I knew that this intelligent, educated, savvy attorney was truly on my side, which made all the difference - both for my battered feelings, and for the outcome of the dispute. I would recommend Maya Risman, along with the rest of the Risman & Risman team, to anyone in need of an attorney. Their help was worth every penny, and then some.

June 20, 2018

Maya is just amazing and brilliant she really knows her stuff and advises you in the best way possible. I definitely would recommend her and the firm. I'm very satisfied with the outcome!

KB April 30, 2018

Jeffrey Risman is the best lawyer you could ever have. He helped me through a very difficult period. Not only is Jeffrey knowledgeable and great at what he does, but he also cares and is extremely honest.

AL March 6, 2018

Jeffrey Risman is great, he provided exceptional service and advice. I was kept informed of details that needed our attention. He is quick to respond and thorough. I highly recommend Risman & Risman. Jeffrey is very considerate, experienced and knowledgeable. Besides being a very talented attorney he is also a very nice person and I would recommend him to anyone.

PO February 14, 2018

I went to Risman & Risman with no experience ever needing legal counsel. They were incredibly attentive and professional. My phone calls and emails were always promptly answered. Jeffrey made my entire experience feel smooth and easy. I highly recommend Risman & Risman!

SM November 29, 2017

Exceptional Law firm.

I was referred to Risman & Risman, P.C. by a friend. Thrilled with the referral. My case was time sensitive, thankfully Jeffery was quick to connect with me. Jeffery was approachable, knowledgeable, and courteous throughout the time spent supporting my case. I can honestly say, I have yet to meet a professional so attentive and genuine in their work. I will be returning the kindness by referring friends, family, and colleagues to Risman & Risman, P.C. going forward.

CP August 2, 2017

One of the first experiences when engaging a Law firms services in New York is a feeling of somehow being 'that you're not quite important enough' or 'somehow a nuisance' this is not one of those places. Light, clean and spacious offices met with friendly kind, concerned professionals, right from the beginning you feel completely at ease, listened to, heard and understood. Maya was attentive demonstrated a great deal of empathy and seemed genuine and intent on using her quite substantial knowledge of the Law to address my particular case. Resolving my issues and needs and then using her vast knowledge, understanding and sheer resolve Risman & Risman brought my case to a satisfactory completion to what seemed to me, within a very swift time indeed. Going to or being forced to visit a Law firm can be a somewhat harrowing experience and never a particularly fun thing to do but if you have to go then I thoroughly recommend this one. Thank you Maya.KD

KD June 1, 2017

Expedient, friendly, knowledgeable and great value! Thanks for the help!

MM May 25, 2017

I recommend Risman & Risman without any hesitation. Maya is very competent, an effective negotiator and excellent at communicating updates to her clients. A+++

TE April 24, 2017

Maya Risman is a phenomenal professional with a very personal touch. Maya guided me through a very unexpected change in my life and I cannot be more grateful to her. Without a doubt, I recommend Maya and her firm.

KC April 17, 2017

Maya Risman was kind, very professional and knowledgeable about an employment issue I needed to resolve. Her expertise in employment law was essential and proved no match for the opposing side's lawyer. Having to consult an attorney is always stressful, but Maya was confident, strategic and made me feel I was truly in good hands. I highly recommend Maya Risman and could not have been happier working with her.

FZ April 17, 2017

Very knowledgable attorney. He is quick to respond and thorough, overall a pleasure to deal with.

Jessica P. March 22, 2017

Jeffrey was knowledgable, supportive, insightful and offered all of his attention to my case. He was honest, diligent and effective in resolving my employment matter in my favor. It is obvious that employment law is a passion for Jeffrey not just a career. I would hire him again and highly recommend Risman & Risman, PC.

Richard S. February 10, 2017

Maya Risman is an excellent attorney who goes above and beyond in representing her clients. She was very knowledgeable, responsive, and compassionate. In addition, she was extremely effective in the negotiation process and exceeded my expectations. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone who needs employment consultation

OA January 9, 2017

Risman & Risman is a family run business and they treat you like family. Maya Risman was respectful and always gave me the attention I needed. I never felt like I was just a number and she was always available to answer any of my questions. She's honest, genuinely concerned and worked hard to resolve the matter to my favor. She is fast and highly professional. I highly recommend their firm.

MP December 6, 2016

Highly professional and very knowledgable attorney. A pleasure to work with.

AZ November 22, 2016

Highly recommended. Great representation for my needs. Works extremely fast and very genuine in caring for their clients' needs.

DC November 3, 2016

Jeffrey was attentive, knowledgable, supportive, and effectual with my case. He was honest and worked efficiently and effectively to resolve the matter in my favor. I would hire him again and highly recommend Risman & Risman, PC.

Brigitte T. September 30, 2016

I worked with Jeff after my job was eliminated. He reviewed my separation agreement and helped me to formulate supported counter requests from my employer. He was kind, considerate and very knowledgeable. He is a consummate professional and a pleasure to work with. Highly recommend.

DL September 27, 2016

So, it's never fun to need an attorney. When I was laid off, I wanted to consult with someone experienced as this was new territory for me (blessing and curse, right?). Jeffrey treated me as a person from day one. His communications were clear and timely. He worked with my former company's legal counsel to come to a more fair agreement.

While I hope to never need an attorney again, in reality stuff happens. If needed, I would contact Risman & Risman again and recommend working with them.

SK September 26, 2016

Jeffrey is the best! He's compassionate and really cares about his clients. Couldn't have been happier with the results.

FF August 8, 2016

Jeffrey Risman was professional, attentive, and supportive throughout my ordeal with an employer. He counseled me on crucial decisions and continually acted on my behalf. He helped turn a truly painful experience into a fast resolution with positive results.

DN June 9, 2016

Even though he couldn't ultimately help me, Jeffrey listened carefully to my situation and gave a thoughtful response as well as some good information to keep in mind for the future.

A great consultation in my mind is worth everything. Thanks!

Chris L. May 24, 2016

I worked with Jeffrey in my job transition. He's very professional and quick to respond to my questions which is great in my negotiation process. Would highly recommend for anyone who needs employment consultations.

Everett C. May 12, 2016

I met with Jeffrey Risman to review my separation agreement after a corporate reduction at my company. Being an area that I have no knowledge of, I was hesitant to meet with a lawyer. Jeffrey quickly eased any reluctancy or apprehension I may have had. He reviewed the documents and explained what it meant to my situation. During our meeting and several email correspondences, he continued to be supportive, attentive, knowledgable, detailed, and kind. I would recommend Jeffrey to anyone and consult with him on any future contracts.

Denise G. April 21, 2016

Jeffrey and Maya are intelligent practitioners who are able to break down complex issues regarding employment law and make them palatable. I take comfort in the fact that they are both available in a moment's notice and are thoughtful in their approach. I highly recommend the legal services of Risman & Risman.

Nowzar M. April 12, 2016

Risman and Risman was one of the best decisions I've ever made. Extremely professional, informative, honest and straightforward. From the start there was always a genuine and sincere concern for me. They were always available to answer any question, and kept me informed every step of the way. I am so happy with the outcome of my case! I would not think twice about going with this firm again if I had to. Jeff and Maya are the very best! Many, many thanks!

Patricia M. April 11, 2016

I met with Jeffrey Risman to review my severance agreement. He was very great breaking down the technical information that I would have most likely missed on my own. Very professional, he walked me though each section with clear understanding. In addition, he also helped me negotiating terms of my agreement. I would definitely consult with him again for any work related contracts and/or agree agreements.

CC March 17, 2016

I had an excellent experience with Mr. Risman. We had an initial meeting where we reviewed an employment related agreement, which had been presented to me. He explained the various sections of the agreement from both a legal and practical perspective when requested, and in satisfactory detail. We worked together on several drafts of the document, both by email and conference call. He then negotiated with the employer and represented me very well. Mr. Risman was courteous and professional in all respects. Throughout the process, I felt that he had my best interests in mind.

JM March 15, 2016

Amazing company. Had the pleasure to meet Jeffrey Risman to represent me as a lawyer, he is kind, sharp and the best lawyer in NYC. Highly recommend Risman & Risman.

Marcela A. March 14, 2016

I was referred to Maya by a top NYC attorney who wanted me to have the strongest possible representation.

Maya achieved two key accomplishments that led to a satisfying outcome. First, she provided excellent client education and support. She guided me to a full understanding of the various components of my case and how it related to specific laws and regulations. I really understood what my case could mean in terms of law suit or settlement strategies. Secondly, Maya consistently showed excellent judgement in the negotiation and timing/pacing or her communication with opposing counsel.

The result was a fair resolution and a resolution that matched my understanding of the legal issues involved. Both issues are important to a best possible outcome.

Maya is a trusted advisor and I will refer clients to Maya in the future.

Joseph D. February 23, 2016

Jeffrey is very knowledgeable and cautious. He is kind & compassionate yet thorough and strategic. He was able to negotiate a severance that I was VERY happy with. He always got back to me in a timely manner. I would recommend him without any hesitation!

SK August 25, 2015

I consulted Jeffrey regarding an employment issue and was thoroughly impressed with Mr. Risman's professionalism, skillful knowledge and empathetic persona. He ultimately made me feel confident with the decision of pursing a matter that was otherwise considered challenging.

SW August 25, 2015

I highly recommend retaining Risman & Risman. Maya is straightforward, knowledgeable, and very empathetic. I immediately felt comfortable with her handling my case and she did everything possible to ensure the best possible outcome. Maya was consistently responsive and never failed to update me with any news. She truly had my best interest at heart, and that is hard to find.

MC February 27, 2015

I spoke to Jeffrey to discuss a problematic employment situation and see what options I had in terms of legal action. He listened to my story, asked specific questions to get the full picture and discussed my options, while explicitly weighing the pros and cons of each. After the consultation, I felt empowered to make an informed decision about my future, with the new perspective I had gained.

GW April 9, 2015

I highly recommend the legal services of Risman & Risman, P.C. Mr. Risman was professional, patient and very responsive when helping me go over the terms of my contract. For any employment concerns, look no further.

Christina P. April 7, 2015

Jeffrey Risman from Risman & Risman is a very confident and professional Attorney. He pays attention to details and responded to my questions and concerns in a timely manner. He believes in his practice and for that reason he fights for his clients. I am glad to have called Risman & Risman and would recommend the firm.

JM February 25, 2015

The partners at Risman & Risman were extremely professional and listened to my concerns thoroughly, and most importantly, were always available to speak. I would highly recommend this practice to anyone looking for great service and results.

Victoria S. February 3, 2015

Risman & Risman is one of the most professional, attentive and detail oriented firms I have ever encountered. Not only did they respond immediately to my questions and concerns, they took a personal interest in my issue going above and beyond what I expected. I would gladly recommend Risman & Risman to anyone as their diligence, knowledge and efficacy is second to none.

Dani Z. November 21, 2014

I am really lucky to have come across Risman & Risman on my search for legal advice/guidance. I was skeptical about dealing with attorneys because I know from experience that most of them are only interested in taking your money. That was not at all the case with Jeffrey. During our first conversation, he encouraged me to review all of my options to see what would be in my best interest, rather than jump at the first opportunity to make some money. Throughout the entire process, he always made me feel like my case was important. He was always reachable and happy to speak to me whenever i had the simplest questions or concerns. He also made me realize that I deserved to be treated fairly and fought for that, even when I had doubts. It was truly a pleasure working with him and I would recommend him to anyone and everyone looking for legal guidance. Jeff, if you read this, thank you so much for everything. I don’t know what I would have done or where I would be right now if I hadn’t called your office.

NL September 14, 2014

I was a client of Mr. Risman. He reviewed a contract for me. He gave great information (he is very knowledgeable), so that I was able to negotiate good terms. He also was very quick turning over my document. Lastly, he answered my follow up questions. I would definitely recommend him.

RF August 16, 2014

Jeffrey is truly great. At a difficult moment, you want someone to back you up when you are going to fight for fairness. Jeffrey is pragmatic, warm and trustworthy. In a short conversation, he concisely pointed out the direction to go. If you want to find someone that really helps, Jeffrey is definitely your choice.

WX July 30, 2014

After being terminated from my employer when trying to return back to work after a disability I felt lost and didn’t even know the right people to call nor the steps I needed to take. Many lawyers rejected my case but Jeffrey Risman was very empathetic and took the time to listen to me and took on my case. He was always available when I had any questions and always kept me posted on what was going on. He managed to have me reinstated in about two months and a half, and still followed up with me to see how things were even after his job was done. He is a great labor lawyer and I highly recommend him to everyone.

ES July 2, 2014

I met with Mr. Risman to discuss a contractual matter that had concerned me for some time and within half an hour he concisely delineated the issue and provided a clear opinion which was invaluable to me. I have spoken to many attorneys in the past on unrelated matters who were unwilling to take a position so early in the discussion for whatever reason, but that was not the case here. I will be returning to speak with Mr. Risman in the future when I require further advice or additional action on this or any other legal matter. I highly recommend his services.

Peter L. June 21, 2014

I hired Jeffrey for a harassment case, which many other lawyers that I had reached out to had rejected. Jeffrey was very straightforward from the beginning about the chances of winning this case, but he never gave up. He’s always been very assertive, professional and communicative. I can only highly recommend him!

SS June 9, 2014

I truly enjoyed working with Maya and Jeff. They really made it quite easy and made sure I understood every detail throughout the process. They are extremely professional and were able to answer all of my questions and allay my concerns. I wholeheartedly recommend their services for someone in need of employment representation.

SB June 7, 2014

Jeffrey was very helpful and thorough when reviewing my most recent sales contract I received. He took the time to sit down and go point by point, making sure I understood all of the legal language, explained what my rights are and what was appropriate to come back with for negotiating purposes. If you want to be sure you are protected and actually understand every term your contract says, working with Jeffrey is absolutely the way to go!

Jenna A. June 3, 2014

Things are never good when you find yourself needing or even thinking about, an employment lawyer. Even though my case wound up being a relatively simple one, it wasn’t something that I would have been able to handle on my own. And despite me obviously not being one of Jeffrey’s biggest clients, he still provided me the same excellent advice, was extremely patient with my craziness and anxiety, and got back to me just as promptly as he did with the other reviewers on this website (“within minutes” would not be an exaggeration). I have already indirectly passed his name on to someone else needing help with an employment issue and would definitely recommend him.

NC May 16, 2014

Jeffrey Risman is an excellent attorney. I called his office and he returned my call almost immediately. We scheduled to meet the following day. During that meeting he was very patient with his time and addressed all of questions and concerns and was extremely knowledgeable as it pertained to employment law, employer separation agreements, and severance packages. My issue was resolved favorably and he followed up to ensure that everything had transpired favorably. I highly recommend his services.

NB May 12, 2014

Jeffrey and Maya are the best employment attorneys in the area! From the very beginning, they were straightforward and honest with me about my case. They never gave me any delusions of grandeur nor was much money demanded upfront. They were sympathetic of my situation and fought aggressively for my rights. The staff was friendly and extremely helpful in helping me understand the full details of my claim. Overall, I am very happy with Maya and Jeffrey’s ability to settle my case. I truly appreciate Risman & Risman for getting me everything I deserved and for helping me get back on my feet and move forward!

Danielle I. April 6, 2014

Jeffrey solved my problem with a very wise approach even though he seems a very young lawyer. I would be more than happy to recommend him to all my friends.

NI April 3, 2014

Jeff was able to guide me during a difficult time. He was able to keep me focused on what my rights are (and those of my former employer). There’s a lot of misinformation out there about employment law, and I’m grateful that Jeff could navigate a complex matter and lead me to a great outcome.

PR March 31, 2014

I was going through a difficult period in life and had spoken to a few lawyers. Many were not even willing to hear my case. I contacted Risman and Risman hearing about them from a friend and could not be happier. Mr. Risman’s hands on approach and dedication to listening and understanding me as a client in our initial session was unparalleled. Jeffrey took my case and delivered the results I was looking for. Without his services I’m sure that I would not have had my needs met. Not only was Jeffrey committed and passionate about helping me but he was personable, respectful and educated me every step of the way. I often even heard from him with updates outside of normal business hours and gained not only a lawyer but a friend and advocate.

MT March 14, 2014

I was extremely happy with Jeff’s professional manner, and business manner in which we were treated. He always made himself available when we had a question or any concerns. His response was was always quick, and always had a answer for us. I have already given to former co-workers his name and number.

JI March 6, 2014

Jeffrey is truly a great attorney. Since he’s worked on the employer’s side, he definitely had an edge in dealing with my former employer. He knew exactly how to get maximum results. He’s very personable, yet totally professional. I can’t thank him enough for taking my claim, seeing it through to completion, while treating me with utmost respect. I highly recommend him if you have an employment issue.

DH February 12, 2014

I cannot say enough positive things about my experience while working with Mr. Risman. He was extremely diligent while negotiating the terms of my severance agreement, and was always available to answer the plethora of questions I had for him. I strongly recommend Risman & Risman – Jeff is persuasive, dedicated, and very compassionate. I am thrilled with the result!

NM January 23, 2014

These lawyers were extremely professional and were able to answer all of my questions and allay my concerns. I wholeheartedly recommend their services for someone in need of employment representation.

Irina T. January 15, 2014

I truly enjoyed working with Maya and Jeff. They really made it quite easy and made sure I understood every detail throughout the process. They were also readily available to me and were there to answer the myriad of questions that kept coming up. I couldn’t have found a better ally and a better representative for my issue and am happy with the result. I warmly recommend Risman & Risman.

Ana P. January 3, 2014

Thorough advice, attentive service, extremely professional.

Berton R. December 13, 2013

Knowledgeable, compassionate and really care about a client. Will fight and find the best solution for you. Always answers a client’s question with passion; truly care about a client.

MY December 10, 2013

Risman & Risman were great to work with on both occasions I used them. It was very easy to get into contact with Jeff when questions arose. They worked quickly and efficiently to solve my issues. It was a great experience and I plan to use them again.

Michael D. December 6, 2013

I could tell from my first conversation that these attorneys knew the complexities of employment law. Without hesitation, they answered all of my questions during the consultation and passionately represented my interests. I really felt a personal connection from the start that I have not shared with other attorneys in the past. If you ever want caring and knowledgeable attorneys on your side, choose Risman & Risman.

Oonagh B. December 2, 2013

These partners offer unparalleled honesty and professionalism. I’ve been working with them for about a year now, and they’ve given me first class legal advice every time. I wish all firms were like Risman & Risman, they do work in a timely matter and aren’t in the business to just collect a fee. I definitely feel their drive, hunger, and hospitality, but I think it all comes down to them being multi-talented. They’re young, bi-lingual, patient, smart and on top of their work. So, if you have any legal issues and want things done correctly and in a timely fashion, these are the guys to go to. I definitely recommend them!

Annam K. November 12, 2013

It is with great pleasure that I write testimonial and endorsement of Risman and Risman. I contacted Risman and Risman after I was terminated from my job. I felt that I was wrongfully terminated from my job. After explaining my situation with Mr. Jeffrey Risman he felt that I had a potential case. He patiently listened to the details of my case and he discussed all available options. He immediately contacted my former employer and I received a favorable outcome. He was always available to speak to me regarding any questions that I might have and he responded very quickly to my emails and he offered me straightforward legal advice. Any email that I sent to him was met with a prompt reply. I am thankful for him in believing in my case and me.

Shelly M. October 18, 2013

Jeffrey Risman is an excellent attorney. Caring and compassionate, he will work his hardest to secure the best possible outcome for a case. Rarely do you find such characteristics embodied in one person.

DL September 9, 2013

I just want to thank Risman & Risman for all their help! I am in a much happier place because of you! THANK YOU!!!

Terrence B. July 31, 2013

Jeffrey is a great lawyer because he takes care of business. You will never go a week without knowing exactly what’s going on with your case. He analyzes every detail with a fine tooth comb, and does his own investigation to make sure that your argument is supported with facts. He is very consistent and always on top of things. I am happy that I chose him.

TJ July 10, 2013

I contacted Jeff Risman to give me advice on how to handle situations at work as I was harassed and discriminated as a result of my pregnancy. He set down with me for a complimentary consultation and for an hour he carefully took down every single detail that he needed. He didn’t promise miracles and didn’t want to push me into lawsuits. He just simply carefully advised me what to do and drafted a letter for my employers. I went through 2 months of hell, but every time I needed to contact him, he was always available. He kept me on track as to what I need to do and asked me regularly for details that were happening at work. I never waited more then 15 min for his response. Thank you for keeping me on track and standing by me while I was in such a fragile state of mind. I still have my job, and I certainly couldn’t have done this without your advice and support.

GC July 1, 2013

First rate attorneys! Confident and competent from start to finish.They took the time to explain each and every step needed to ensure full compensation. No question was a bother for them to answer. The personal touch was incredible in that time of need. They made me feel as if I were not just a case and a number. Qualified and skilled at navigating all aspects of my lawsuit. Extremely satisfied.

Kyle R. June 28, 2013

A few months ago I was discharged from my job when I informed my employers I was pregnant. I knew at the time what had happened to me was absolutely wrong and unfair. How to prove it was my first concern and who was going to assist me was my second concern. I went on the website and came across a few attorneys I felt would be able to assist me with this case. One of them was not able to do so and dropped the case. I then went back on the website and came across Risman & Risman, PC. When I spoke to Jeffrey about my case, I knew I had found the right attorney!

When you’re dealing with the law it can be a scary thing, especially in my situation. It can be very intimidating! Dealing with attorneys Jeffrey and Maya they made me feel very comfortable and they went over all details, not just once but several times with me before dealing with the problem at hand. That showed they are not hasty but they take their time to figure out how they are going to handle your lawsuit. They also take the time out to hear what you have to say and they are very respectful and considerate. Jeffrey and Maya make you feel like they are truly on your side, especially when you feel the odds are against you.

I was extremely happy with the results of my settlement. Should I ever have another problem in the future, I will definitely be working with these two attorneys again.

Once again, thank you Jeff and Maya!!!

DS June 20, 2013

Maya and Jeffrey were very professional and took the time to listen to the details of my situation. They gave sound legal advice and helped me settle my case very favorably. I would definitely recommend them.

DP June 10, 2013

I came to Jeffrey regarding discrimination by my manager. He listened carefully to my concerns and then clearly explained my options and how best to proceed. I was very stressed, but I immediately felt at ease because Jeffrey’s knowledge of the law and dedication to me as client were apparent from the start. Thanks to his efforts and advice, there has been a marked improvement at the workplace. I highly recommend Jeffrey.

Anna Z. April 12, 2013

I’ve used Jeff on two distinct occasions.

One situation had involved a past employer withholding contractually obligated performance bonus payments upon my departure from the company. Needless to say Jeff provided me with the insight and information to work with my previous employer to obtain what was rightfully owed. We avoided litigation and any legal services.

The other occasion was with a potential employer working through a recruiter whom was seeking to obtain confidential information. With Jeff’s help we avoided all uncomfortable confrontations and with him wound up going direct to the organizations HR department to fulfill all my new hire needs. Thanks to Jeff I was able to become gainfully employed with out the harassment of the external recruiter.

I now feel comfortable seeking guidance from Jeff on other personal and professional matters.

Seth Y. April 8, 2013

Maya and Jeffrey helped me so much in a very difficult time and a very difficult situation. I was also very pleased with the award I received.

George J. December 19, 2012

Maya Risman and her staff helped me put my life back on track. Before contacting them, my employment had become hostile and unbearable. After a few months of retaining their services, I am happy to say that I am no longer fearful of discrimination at the workplace and feel like I have a friend for life.

Jan C. July 25, 2012

I was going through a personal issue which jeopardized my employment at a long term employer. This was a tough time for me as my employer laid me off. While the compensation package was nice I felt was not rewarded enough for my years of loyalty. Ms. Risman offered her services the day we spoke and not only offered to help legally but wanted to fully understand my situation. With her expertise and guidance I received a more appropriate compensation package.

Mark S. May 10, 2012

I had a very complex employment matter which was quickly resolved. Being that my employment had become so stressful and anxiety ridden, I am glad that I became aware of this firm to help me with my legal issues. I would most certainly recommend this law firm to anyone who needs assistance with an employment related matter.

Ronald G. April 25, 2012

The attorneys at the Law Office of Risman & Risman worked diligently on my behalf and were able to secure a large reward for the injuries I sustained as a result of a very serious accident. I’m very grateful for all the hard work they put into my case.

Besides handling the case appropriately, these attorneys ensured that I was aware of everything every step of the way. Someone was always available to speak and answer my questions.

It’s really hard to find attorneys that care about the services they provide and work day and night for their clients. The attorneys were honest from the beginning about the legal process and kept me well informed about all of the stages of litigation. These are A+ attorneys. Thank you guys.
