They are the absolute Best. Maya has great communication skills and she keeps you in the loop through the whole process. If you don’t speak to her know that she is working. The end result will make you appreciate the process. I wouldn’t recommend using anyone else but her. She is fantastic. I will definitely make sure all of my family and friends use this law firm. I would give them a 10 out of 10.

Just recently closed a chapter that Jeff so wonderfully helped me through. After three years and countless emails, calls, and meetings I obtained a settlement I could be happy with. The best thing Jeff made me aware of from day one was that this isn’t law and order it will take longer than an hour. Knowing that, although stressing at first, was perfect because he didn’t give me false expectations.

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.

Jeffrey Risman is the best in the business. He really knows his stuff and cares about his clients. I was turned away by two other lawyers and he took on my case. Not only did he take the case but he did an A+ job. I HIGHLY recommend him to personal contacts as well as you, people of the internet!

Jeffrey got me what I wanted both compensation and beyond. He helped navigate a tense and sensitive negotiation, that also involved my immigration status. Jeffrey’s human approach was super appreciated, and made a very unpleasant situation much more manageable. Really appreciated the partnership, kindness, and easy/quick communication style- and honestly went above and beyond what

An amazing law firm that I will be using again if necessary (though hopefully.. no need). Nobody likes to go through employment uncertainty or trouble, but if you do you know this is a dependable firm. The firm is run by two siblings and I mostly spoke with Jeff regarding my problem, he’s highly intelligent…
