Our impact.

Abby Leung helped me successfully negotiate a settlement with a very large infrastructure firm. As an astute professional with prompt communication and negotiation skills, Abby helped me reach a successful outcome. I have no hesitation in recommending her service to anyone looking for a bright lawyer.

I had the pleasure of Abby Leung working on my employment case and was thoroughly impressed with Abby's hard work and dedication on my case. This was a highly emotional case for me and Abby showed much compassion and understanding and worked diligently have the case settled very quickly and with a very positive outcome. I would highly recommend Abby to anyone looking for an employment lawyer.

I was recently laid off from a company that was acquired by a PE firm – I was induced to join the company from another employer. I contacted W&L and decided to work with Abby Leung to re-negotiate the severance package. Abby demonstrated significant attention-to-detail, deep knowledge of employment law, and was transparent on documents that she prepared. Abby was quick to recognize inducement as a key issue in this matter. She successfully negotiated a severance package that was more than twice the amount I was initially offered. She went above and beyond to keep me updated as negotiations progressed. I would recommend W&L and Abby Leung to anyone looking for an employment lawyer.

I worked with Abby Leung to help negotiate a severance package. She was thorough and explained very well the pros and cons and expectations and answered every question I had on random emails and calls. She provided me real time updates as well. I am very much satisfied with the negotiation results and if I could give a thousand stars to Whitten & Lublin, I would. Thank you to Abby and the whole team!
