  • "I came to Mr. Linder for assistance with a challenging employment issue and have been impressed with his tenacity, skill, professionalism, high quality of products, and most importantly, his efforts in keeping me well informed and advised related to the case and all its twists. I don't think you could ask for a better team on your side in our challenging times where employment actions these days that can so quickly put you in peril. He is extremely knowledgeable and competent with the complexities of this state's systems and stages of action and is quite thorough in his preparations when he has to go to bat for your case. I have found his charges to be reasonable and his team's work consistently at the top-shelf. I'd strongly recommend him without any reservations to anyone that has been wronged."

  • "I had a great experience working with Larry. He and his team were very professional, responsive, and provided clear guidance and counseling throughout my entire process. My situation was very stressful and without Larry in my corner I would not have received as positive an outcome as I had. I relied heavily on Larry's advice and counsel and really appreciated his attention to detail and steady support and compassion. I would highly recommend Larry for anyone in need of reliable legal assistance."

  • "About 3 years ago, I had “a one hour” consultation appointment with Larry regarding a severance agreement I as very unhappy about in regards to my employer. Larry ended up spending 5 hours with me , giving me the hard facts and ended up helping me get a better severance and piece of mind. Fast forward to now and I had 5 days notice to do a deposition for a previous employee who was suing that same old employer. I didn’t want to break my contract I had signed, and had multiple other questions, and couldn’t get a hold of Larry. Come to find out, Larry was out of state and out of service but still managed to get my emails and calls in time and called me back twice and talked me through my concerns right before my deposition. I didn’t hire him nor was he being paid for this, he just helped me once again and quickly eased my fears so I was prepared. Thank you Larry- you're legitimately one of the best lawyers out there, hands down!!!"
