Thank you Jason, Taylor, Morgan and Val.Very attentive to what happened with me, understood what needed to be done, great communication, friendly! Highly highly recommend!!As an employee whose legally protected rights were violated, HKM was the advocate I needed in my corner. From start to finish, their dedication to justice was evident in everything they did. This team didn’t just take my case they prevailed. They understand how to build compelling arguments grounded in law and backed by evidence, and they are relentless in pursuing the best possible outcome. They deliver results that truly matter for their clients. Communication here isn’t an afterthought, it’s a priority. From the very first consultation, they took the time to explain my rights, possible strategies, and realistic timelines. Throughout the process, they kept me informed, promptly responding to questions and ensuring I was never left in the dark about the status of my case. This firm treated me with genuine respect and empathy. They listened deeply, never rushed me, and made me feel valued, not just another case file. Their kindness created a sense of trust that made even the most stressful moments feel manageable. Attention to detail is one of their greatest strengths. Every document was meticulously prepared, and every legal argument backed by solid research. This thoroughness gave me confidence that nothing was being overlooked. Employment law cases can be long and emotionally taxing. What sets HKM apart is their patience, they walk you through every step, answering even the most basic questions with respect and clarity. They never make you feel rushed or uninformed, no matter how many times you need an explanation. This isn’t a place where only junior associates see their clients. From partners to support staff, the entire firm engages with your case. You feel that you are getting the collective strength of their full legal team, everyone is aligned, responsive, and committed to your success. Above all, their command of employment law is exceptional. They effortlessly navigate statutes, case law, and procedural complexities.

I appreciate all the effort they dedicated to my case. Thank you, HKM Employment Attorneys!I am so thankful for HKM and their amazing attorneys. They made my case seem easy and painless! Thank you x100 HKM.Was very scared to reach out but glad I did such amazing people to work with thank you HKMAfter a very unfortunate situation with a former employer, I contacted H&M. Jennifer immediately reached out. Her team was accessible, friendly, prompt and encouraging during such an unfair and devastating process. Not only did they have my back, but it felt like we were friends the whole way as they encouraged me. It can be scary to take a big step and go up against a big company and the grief that comes with the process is also often overlooked. As expected, the case was earned in my favor. I would like to give special praise to her support staff as they were delightful on the phone and in the portal and went above and beyond. Without reservation, they are highly recommended.Really enjoyed working with them. They answered all of my questions quickly and professionally. The communication app was great and user-friendly.After a distressing situation with a former employer, I contacted HKM Employment Attorneys. From the initial intake of my case, everyone I encountered was very professional and helpful. After the review and speaking with Carla on the phone, her team retained me as a client. Carla is an excellent attorney, a great negotiator, and she is very timely with her responses. While the event was one I never hope to repeat in my life, I feel Carla took my case seriously and she helped me to better navigate my rights. Not to mention, she took a large worry off my plate so I could focus on healing and moving into the next stage of my life. Even during the points where I felt very down or didn’t quite understand the “legalese,” she made everything more accessible. I also legitimately feel like this firm as a whole is very discerning and they are open/honest about expectations. Carla never overpromised or made claims she couldn’t keep. I felt like before we worked together, I was well informed and when we worked together, she often checked in or answered questions. I also appreciate that she was level-headed and focused on facts, especially during a situation that was highly painful. All my documentation was reviewed carefully, and her team explained exactly what they needed from me. While I am hardly the type who wanted to involve the law, I believe with the help of Carla and her team that I was able to find a positive resolution. I highly recommend this law firm, even if you only need legal advice about potential legal challenges at a current or former workplace. It’s well worth the inquiry.I simply cannot say enough about the professionalism behind Krista and her team! She is my go to when it comes to tough employment scenarios and her drive to do the right thing and course correct is what I admire. She is knowledgeable and passionate with high integrity at the forefront.... all the while laying out the available options and outcomes. I would not hesitate to recommend Krista and HKM!HKM did an excellent job representing me. They were able to get my case resolved and were extremely responsive to all my questions during the process. Carla was a joy to work with and provided me with the support I needed to navigate through my case successfully.I enjoyed working with Jennifer. Communication was open, and anything I had concerns with she did her best to figure out. I highly recommend HKM.First I want to thank my attorney Hugh Barber for everything he done in my case. This firm is full of professional attorney's who can and will get results for you. The communication is upfront and open with no surprises or misleading information. I recommend there services 100% they are #1I had the best experience with my attorney here. She was extremely professional, efficient and always got back to me in a timely manner. I appreciate everything HKM has done for my case when I felt so alone in my matter. I highly recommend HKM for anyone with employment issues and needing representation.HKM was not only attentive, helpful, understanding, but they were also understanding and kind! I was in a very vulnerable spot at that time, but working with Carla really gave me hope. She explained everything in a way I could understand what was happening and why. I would highly recommend HKM! They made it so I could heal and move on from being in an unfortunate situation with my ex employer.Krista and her office took my case and were very organized and professional in representing me. I will leave an example of how extraordinary they care for their clients. I checked my email at 7am and saw Krista had sent me an email about my case at 3am. I was blown away at why she was emailing me at 3am. I called here later in the day and asked why 3am? She told me she couldn't sleep and was going over my case and wanted to keep me informed on how things were going. I told her it was not an expectation of mine but thank you for going over and above. HKM and Krista absolutely do set their standards high for legal representation, that firms could only wish to provide. THANK YOU!I was very nervous to make the call to see if they would take my case. From the moment I spoke to Henry I felt validated for the first time regarding what happened to me at work. I worked with Carla and Henry throughout the process and they were both so knowledgeable and professional while at the same time kind and understanding. Even though the legal process takes time in and of itself, they always kept me up to date as to what was going on and were always quick to answer any questions or concerns. After it was over I did receive a compensation for the damages done by my previous employer. While it didn't make a wrong right it was a huge sense of relief to know that there can be consequences for employers who brake the law and harm their employees. I couldn't have done this without HKM and am so grateful to Henry and Carla in how they handled my case.HKM were quick to hear my case when other law firms were slow to respond. They were easy and straightforward to work with and were able to find resolution for my case against my former employer. Jennifer was the attorney, who was knowledgeable and friendly to work with all along. I strongly recommend others to reach out to HKM for all employment related wage disputes.Load more
