RACHEL E. ELLIS - LIVELIHOOD LAW FIRM REVIEWS
I worked with Rachel Ellis through my entire process. She was communicative, very knowledgeable and most important she stood up for me as a woman and as a professional who deserved justice and equality. She always kept my best interest in mind and fought to the end to help me win my case I had no idea was even possible to win. More than winning it was wonderful to connect with an attorney who understood what happened and what I deserved. Her assistant Amber was equally wonderful and always following up right away to any of my questions. Definitely go with Rachel for employment law!
I have been working and communicating with RACHEL E. ELLIS on and off since 2016. Rachel and her Firm are 100% in my opinion placing their client's needs and expectations first. Never steers you in the wrong direction. Rachel and her firm are big advocates for LGBT rights in the workplace and community. Rachel and her firm go out of their way for clients. I highly recommend Rachel.
Rachel is so understanding and compassionate. I was so confused and lost when I went to see her. By the time the meeting over I had clear understanding of what was going on and the direction I need to go. She did all that for me. I can't thank her enough for everything.

J. MARK BAIRD - BAIRD QUINN LLC REVIEWS
Mark’s client demeanor is professional, supportive and respectful. His command of case details is impressive. Once he gets going on a case, he is like a dog with a bone. He is very competent in the conduct of his business. I appreciated that he was realistic in his outcome assessments throughout the process. I am happy to recommend him.
Baird Quinn helped me with a wage dispute with a former employer. I was very happy with their aggressive representation, hard work, honesty and professionalism. The fact that I could rely upon them made the entire matter much less stressful. I highly recommend the firm!!!
This success is wholly attributed to your impressive talent. It has been a genuine pleasure working with you. I cannot help but believe that this win would not have been accomplished without you. My expression of gratitude to you seems insufficient, but is sincerely expressed.
