Our impact

I highly recommend the team at Whitten & Lublin to assist with any employment law issues. After losing my job of almost 30 years, I was left feeling uncertain of what the future would bring, especially in the severance area. My employer had air tight contracts and low balled my severance. I reached out to Whitten & Lublin for a free 30 minute consult. I was immediately connected with Sophie Teversham, Associate with the firm. Sophie was extremely understanding of the situation, calmed me down and assured me that she would try her best to help me and my family out. After speaking with other firms, I decided to continue my journey with Sophie at Whitten & Lublin. The other employment lawyers were cold, uncaring and frankly I felt that they were scared to take my case as the employment contracts were pretty air tight. Sophie made me feel that I was in charge, went through the process step by step with me, and her communication was very detailed throughout the process. Her advice was spot on, and her efforts in trying to get me more in the settlement was evident. I ended up receiving considerably more severance that was initially offered by the employer. This was a direct result of Sophie's work along with her team. I'm hoping I never have any more employment issues, but if I do, I know where to turn! Thank you Sophie and team of Whitten & Lublin!

Hi, blakec here... I am writing today to share my first legal experience. I was encouraged to get some advice regarding my workplace termination and severance. I contacted Whitten & Lublin Employment Lawyers, recommended to me from a family member. I was hesitant to call, but thought It couldn't hurt to do so. I received a call back from an associate Sophie Teversham. I was instantly impressed how comfortable I felt telling her my situation, my history with my workplace, especially about the wonderful people I worked with for so many years. During our conversation, Sophie could sense that this was emotional for me and I was very conflicted with the circumstances of this situation. She responded to my comments with, clarity, understanding and compassion. When Sophie confidently outlined my options and entitlements, we drafted a plan. I felt like Sophie actually listened to me and quickly recognized what was important to me. During the next number of weeks, Sophie was consistent in keeping me updated as well as running through every stage of the negotiation with me, ensuring I understood, answering all of my questions. There is no doubt in my mind, Sophie was the perfect lawyer to represent me, ultimately achieving success with my case. I am extremely grateful to her and wish her all the best while changing people's lives.

Great experience with this firm (with two specific people) and I will, and have already, recommended working with them to others that I knows. I specifically recommend the two individuals noted below. Pros: Sophie T. is the lawyer that represented me and was absolutely fantastic. Friendly, personable, timely in her responses, proactively kept me up to date. She helped me to understand what we should reasonably ask for and successfully negotiated a fair settlement on my behalf. In the future if I need an employment lawyer again, I will go back to Sophie without a doubt. Additionally, Morecia F. who worked alongside Sophie and myself completing the administrative portion of my case was also wonderful to work with. Her responses with timely and just generally a pleasant person to interact with. The experience with both individuals was professional, yet had that modern friendliness that makes for a great personalized experience. Cons: The only con I have is that the fee charged is moderately higher than other competitors. Overall great experience, knowledgeable, friendly team, professional with responses that are quick and organized. Definitely recommend.

When I first contacted Whitten & Lublin, I had no idea what to expect. I had never been without a job before, and never had to deal with a lawyer for this reason. I called Whitten & Lublin’s office and was assigned to Sophie, who was transparent from beginning to end. She walked me through everything so that I fully understood, answered all of my questions and took action to get me a fair settlement. Sophie took what was an unpleasant situation and made it quick and painless. I’ve saved Whitten & Lublin (and Sophie) in my contacts in case I ever need them again, and I’m telling everyone of the second-to-none service I received from their firm. I am grateful that Whitten & Lublin was there for me, and I would recommend them to anyone who requires assistance in Employment law matters.

I had an outstanding experience with Whitten & Lublin. Sophie Teversham was an incredible lawyer to work with - knowledgeable, thoughtful, and always clear in her advice. She made a stressful situation much easier to navigate, and her expertise gave me confidence throughout the process. Morecia was equally fantastic - she kept everything organized and moving smoothly behind the scenes, which made the whole process feel seamless. Communication was always fast, clear, and professional. Everything moved quickly and efficiently, and I truly couldn’t have asked for a better team to have on my side. I’m very grateful for their support and would recommend Sophie, Morecia, and Whitten & Lublin without hesitation.
