Posted on Justin ClydeTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Ashley and Reshida were fantastic throughout the entire process. Being terminated during the holidays was incredibly stressful, but the team at Monkhouse helped ease the anxiety every step of the way. Ashley provided excellent guidance regarding my rights, particularly around the expiration date of my offer, and helped me successfully extend the deadline with my former employer. Her support and reassurance truly put my mind at ease. Monkhouse also reviewed my documents before setting up my paid consultation, which other firms were unwilling to do. I really appreciated this, as it demonstrated respect for both my time and money. When I met with Reshida, she was extremely well prepared and familiar with all aspects of my case. She offered clear, practical advice on how to negotiate with my employer to achieve the best possible outcome without litigation. Thanks to her guidance, I was able to reach a fair resolution efficiently and avoid the stress and expense of going to court. I would not hesitate to recommend Monkhouse to anyone navigating a difficult employment situation—they are knowledgeable, professional, and genuinely focused on achieving the best possible outcome for their clients.Posted on karli mcleodTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Emily Kim was my lawyer for my file. She is very knowledgeable, professional and very personable. She helped me understand the steps that needed to be taken. I would recommend her.Posted on Alma JonesTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Monkhouse Employment Law is an outstanding firm. We are truly grateful for the support and dedication they provided throughout my husband’s case. Our lawyer, Alisa Mircovic, went above and beyond—she was professional, knowledgeable, patient, and always took the time to explain everything clearly. Thanks to her hard work and commitment, the case was settled in less than a year, and we were very pleased with the outcome. This was a stressful time for our family, and having Alisa’s guidance made a huge difference. If you are looking for an employment lawyer who genuinely cares and delivers results, I highly recommend Alisa Mircovic (Associate Lawyer) at Monkhouse Employment Law.Posted on Rahul RaoTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
