Testimonials

“After a surprise layoff, Sarah Nichols secured three times the severance package that I would have obtained on my own. She communicated with me every step of the way and her pricing is fair and transparent. I highly, highly recommend Sarah Nichols.”

— Director alleging age claims

“Sarah did a great job representing me in my termination case. I doubt the outcome for me could’ve happened with a different attorney (and I interviewed several attorneys prior to going with Sarah). She is thorough, transparent, and professionally objective. She expertly navigated the in-house counsel team and was a constant advocate for my case. Her honesty and empathy made the difficult decisions easier to work through and was responsive when I needed to review or better understand case matters. I highly recommend!”

— Manager alleging race discrimination

Sarah was my attorney for a case of wrongful termination in my former company and she helped me achieve a very satisfactory settlement. When I first talked to Sarah, I was not sure about my case due to the emotional stress I had just gone through. She quickly reinstalled my confidence in myself and my case through her clear thinking and analysis, and her extensive experience in this field.”

— Negotiated exit for VP & GM alleging whistleblower, retaliation & gender discrimination claims

“She has the unique combination of being an attorney who is tough in negotiating on behalf of her clients, but at the same time an empathetic counselor who really seeks to understand her clients’ objectives and emotional state. Sarah is persistent and always try to think of different ways to achieve progress when the opponent is unresponsive and the case is stalling. She is very responsive to my questions so that I always had a good sense of progress and next steps.”

I would definitely recommend Sarah to anyone who is facing an employment and labor case. Sarah has made this process so much easier in one of the most difficult times of my life. When you work with her, you feel relaxed because you trust her with your best interest in mind, and you can then focus on building your case together. In addition to the settlement, I have finally achieved closure, thanks to her sense of integrity, judgement and advice.
