Client Testimonials

"Your firm is the best. Period. I could not imagine a better firm for employment work."
Former client

"HKM is very effective and very responsive. I would recommend them without hesitation."
Former Client

"The attorneys at HKM were incredible. I spoke to several attorneys about an employment issue that I had, but ultimately chose HKM because the attorneys there took the time to fully understand my concerns, explain to me the costs involved in litigation, and describe the litigation process. Fortunately for me, I made the right choice! The HKM attorneys are not only very supportive and extremely knowledgeable about all facets of employment law, but are amazing litigators, and they worked tirelessly on my behalf. If you have an employment issue or possible case, I would strongly recommend HKM without reservation!"
Former Client

"I went to HKM Attorneys for assistance with gender discrimination at my workplace, and they worked with me to understand the issues, and then vigorously litigated on my behalf against a much larger company. I appreciate their efforts, their sincerity, and their understanding in this difficult time of my life."
Former Client

"I am extremely satisfied by the quality of the results that HKM delivered. The firm successfully fought against one of the largest Nationwide Law firms with nearly infinite resources, and their tenacity paid off. I would highly recommend any of these attorneys to anyone who knows that they will need to overcome significant adversity. Each of their drive, commitment, and passion, successfully broke down significant obstacles that opposing counsel continuously threw in the way and ultimately produced fantastic results."
Former Client

"I came to HKM because I was subject of a hostile, and even dangerous, work environment. The HKM attorneys immediately came to my rescue, negotiated with my former employer, and got me a very generous and satisfactory severance package. If I have any future employment issues, I will go (no run) to HKM.

"The attorneys at HKM were amazing. I hired them last minute and they worked hard on my case really quickly. I knew I was in good hands the minute I contacted them. They were very reassuring, really listened to me, treated me with respect, and kept me well informed the whole time. Most importantly, even though I was not the highest paying client, they always treated me like I was. I cannot recommend them highly enough.
You will not be sorry if you go with HKM."
