"I had the attorneys review my contract three years ago and it saved me $8,000 in repairs to patio and roof leaks that never would have been found if my attorney hadn’t added a leak inspection to the contingencies in the contract."

“I was laid off from my executive position at a global corporation in October. The amount of severance they offered me and another female colleague was not equitable to what was given to the other people included in this group layoff. Not to mention the company did not follow the terms of the Older Workers Benefit Protection Act when drawing up my separation agreement. The female colleague and I, independent of each other, decided to try and negotiate for more severance than what was offered. She hired an attorney on retainer, where I chose to work with (the legal firm). I contacted the Texas firm who referred me to the New York provider, since the company HQ is in New York. It was an arduous, drawn-out process of negotiating a separation agreement that was commensurate with my contribution to the company — which was all facilitated by my attorneys. I signed the final separation agreement six months to the day I was let go, more than doubling the amount of severance pay they originally offered me and getting my contractually owed quarterly bonus paid out. My colleague netted the exact same separation result that I did - however her total bill for attorney fees was more than $10,000 and mine was simply six months of my Legal membership payments. I win.”

"I just received a check for over $570 in the mail yesterday from an airline that stranded me in Charlotte, NC for 2 days and said their “policy” was not to do anything for me. My attorney wrote a letter on my behalf which resulted in a phone call and apology from the airline’s executive office - and reimbursement for the hotel and additional taxi fares!" I’m happy!
