I was simply seeking guidance to review a severance agreement and of all the offices I contacted, Maya was the only attorney who didn’t just provide a quote, but wanted to hear more about my situation. Maya is my savior. I never thought I’d walk away with the agreement she fought for. When she says ‘let me take care of it’, trust that you can take your hands off the wheel and allow her the space to do the necessary work. As much as I hope this situation never happens again, I would choose Risman & Risman without hesitation if needed.

Really appreciated the partnership, kindness, and easy/quick communication style- and honestly went above and beyond what

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.

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…

Maya Risman did a great job representing me with my employment based claim.

Facing any kind of employment-related legal issues can be daunting, pressure-filled, and emotionally taxing. You need legal representation that not only has experience and expertise in employment law but also empathy, honesty, and the creativity to find solutions.

I cannot recommend Risman & Risman enough. This firm has a level of professionalism that puts them head above shoulders above other law firms. When I had a contract dispute I reached out to six firms and Risman were to only ones to reach back to me in an acceptable amount of time. Risman gave…
