update: spoke with Corey after previous rating and he spoke with me and help me understand how my case was passed over. The fact that he wanted to reach out after I expressed my disappointment, speaks volumes! Side note: I would encourage anyone who believes they have a case, don’t give up and cont. to have hope and find representation.

I reached out to this law office for assistance not only with an age age discrimination case, but an employer ada violation case. I only gave a brief synopsis. A few days later I received an email stating they are unable to assist me. The only thing I can figure is once I told them who my employeri is, they decided to bow out. So 😞 disappointing that I wasn't given a fair chance. I thought after the great reviews they would be a wonderful law firm. Updated 06/10/2026 Changing my review to 5 stars. I recently spoke with Mr. Osay, who reviewed my situation. I truly appreciate him taking the time out of his schedule to contact me, he didn't have to do that, and for me it shows true concern. Hats off to you Mr. Osay.

Engaging a Lawyer and pursuing a legal case can be an emotional, stressful and intimate endeavour. As such, having a legal team that is aligned to your objectives and who is not emotionally involved is a highly valuable strategic advantage. When things are 'personal' and 'stressing' and 'hostile', there is a very real risk that bad decisions will be made - unless you have solid legal stewardship. Enter HKM Employment Attorneys (and specifically Mr. Corey Asay and his team). The entire team at HKM levelled the playing field for me (it no longer felt like David versus Goliath). They understood the legal merits of my case and quickly removed the chaff and debris - thereby saving me time, stress, money and (ultimately) securing a sensible and amenable result for me. While I hope to never need another legal team and I certainly hope to never go through another similar lawsuit: I would have zero hesitation in getting support, guidance and leadership from HKM Employment Attorneys LLP again.

I received the blessing of working with Cody Reinberg and I was pleasantly surprised how comfortable he made the entire process of my claim. It was like having representation wrapped up as a real friend.

I highly recommend Corey Asay for any representation you need. He is knowledgeable and good at what he does. He made a tough situation a lot better and he is very easy to work with. I can’t thank him enough.

It was a pleasure working with this office. I couldn't get anyone else to listen to me; HKM's staff not only listened but made me feel validated. I don't know where I would be without them.

I highly recommend HKM Employment Attorneys for your legal counsel. My attorney Corey Asay and his paralegal Heather were absolutely amazing. I knew nothing about the legal process, but they walked me through every aspect of it and how the legal system works. My case was not an easy case to prove but because of their knowledge and negotiation skills they quadrupled the amount of my settlement with my prior employer. If anyone needs an employment lawyer I would highly recommend Corey Asay and Heather at HKM Employment Attorneys LLP. They are my superheroes!

Corey and Jason did an amazing job with my case. They were very knowledgeable and accurate with details of my claims which ensured a more than satisfactory recovery. This being my first experience with any type of lawsuit or litigation, I was kept updated on the proceedings every step of the way. I am so grateful to the HKM team for their compassion and patience throughout the process.
