Testimonials
Employment Discrimination
“Lisa litigated a federal employment case on my behalf in federal court against a large corporate entity with very aggressive attorneys. I highly recommend Lisa for her great communication skills, her adept navigation of opposing counsel’s tactics, and her willingness to spend the time to learn what is important to her clients. My case was resolved favorably in no small part because Lisa always kept my interests as the client as the number one priority.” –G.O.
“Lisa represented me in an FMLA case in the Northern District of Illinois and obtained a very favorable settlement of my claims. She is an outstanding attorney who does her homework and will be well-versed in all aspects of your case. Lisa is both professional and knowledgeable, but what I appreciated most about Lisa was her compassion, tenderness, and understanding of my circumstances. I never knew anyone who put her client’s needs in front of her own, but Lisa did this for me and I am forever grateful. So perhaps the most important reason to retain Lisa is because she genuinely cares.” –B.K.
Employment Agreements & Separations
“Becoming unemployed after never being without a job is confusing. Where to go? What to do? Who to turn to? I was fortunate to have been referred to Lisa Clay. She guided me through the process of negotiations with the company to come to an agreeable contract and severance package. I'm certain that without Lisa having my back, my situation would have turned out much differently. Her knowledge and advice were priceless.” –D.H.
“Lisa developed an outstanding working relationship with me. During our work navigating employment contracts with different companies, she helped me navigate the contracts with integrity and effectiveness. She is incredibly warm, responsive, and helpful.” –E.P.
“I was referred to Lisa by my trusted financial advisor and it was some of the best advice I ever received. She helped me navigate and negotiate an early separation from a shareholder agreement that set me on a path to an earlier and enjoyable retirement. Her no-nonsense approach to the situation, candid advice, and highly relevant experience made me feel I had a trusted advisor and advocate on my side which led to the entire process being wrapped up much sooner than anticipated.” –J.K.
“Lisa Clay has negotiated two employment agreements on my behalf, at the Director and C- level, to my total satisfaction. In both cases, she outlined her legal analysis in plain English, which allowed me to make informed and effective choices. She also gave me excellent advice regarding a role I ultimately did not take, saving me from what would have been a short and unhappy experience. Lisa’s professionalism and fairness have continually impressed me, my employers, and the friends and colleagues I have referred over the years.” –D.B
Copyright Trolls
“I spoke to several of the nationwide firms that advertise themselves as experts in the copyright troll cases, but I felt like they were just as predatory as the copyright troll that was threatening me. Each firm made me feel worse than the previous one. Right when I thought my situation was hopeless, I found Lisa. After a brief consult, I knew she was different: she actually wanted to help me, and for a fraction of the fee the other "nationwide’" firms were charging. Finally, someone who is on my side! Lisa is everything I could have ever hoped for and more from my lawyer.” –R.C.
