Jill is amazing. I hired her during a really awful employment situation and she made the entire thing so much less stressful. She listened, she believed me, and she handled things I had been trying to deal with on my own for way too long. She’s smart, straightforward, and also SO funny. There were definitely times I got off the phone with her laughing when I had called completely stressed out. She got me through a situation I never want to deal with again and I’m incredibly grateful for her. The only downside to everything being over is that I actually miss talking to her 😂 10/10 attorney. Hopefully I never need her again.

I had a wonderful experience with this firm. i worked with the people in the Denver office, since the very first moment the costumer service agent was a very empathetic sweet woman who treated me with so much care and respect. I was going through a very difficult and vulnerable time with my job situation and it felt so validating having someone understand your situation. A couple of days after Heather reached out to me and showed passion, determination and most importantly deep interest in my situation. Exceptional women team!! I have never felt the need to share a review but this is my second one of this exceptional LawFirm!

I’m truly grateful that I had the opportunity to work with Jill Malat at HKM. From the beginning, Jill treated me with kindness, respect, and genuine care during one of the most difficult times in my life. She’s not only an excellent attorney, but also someone who truly cares about her clients and stands by them throughout the process. I was dealing with a discrimination situation at my workplace that caused me a lot of stress and hardship, and Jill was incredibly supportive throughout it all. She took the time to listen to me, explain things clearly, and make sure I felt heard. Her knowledge, professionalism, and compassion really meant a lot to me during that time. What I appreciate most about Jill is the combination of strength and compassion she brings to her work. She can be incredibly kind and understanding with her clients while also being strong, determined, and fearless when advocating for them. That meant more to me than I can put into words. Thanks to Jill and the team at HKM, my case reached a favorable outcome. I’m extremely thankful for all the time, effort, and support they gave me. I would definitely recommend Jill to anyone looking for an attorney who is knowledgeable, dedicated, and genuinely cares about the people she represents.

When I was going through one of the most stressful times in my life, HKM listened when nobody else cared. They took the time to talk to me, listened every step of the way, and never made me feel like I was a nuisance. HKM ensured I was heard, and had my back through every step of the process. I am extremely grateful for Jill Malat and Brian Dolman supporting me during this time. This is an experience I hope to never have to navigate again, but it was nothing but a pleasure working with the HKM team. If you need legal employment support, HKM is the place to go!

I reached out to HKM when I exhausted every internal procedure available to change the horrific working conditions I was under. Jeff Manson walked me through the entire process of fighting for my rights and seeking justice for what happened to me. Every step of the way, across 2 years of discovery and depositions, I knew my best interests were being advocated for and justice was served. I could not be happier with the advice and services from the entire HKM team, but especially Mr. Manson.

**⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐** I can't share the details of my case due to a confidentiality agreement, but I can say without hesitation that HKM's employment law team was outstanding. They were thorough from day one, fought hard on my behalf, and never once sugar coated the situation. I always knew exactly where things stood. What impressed me most was the balance they struck: professional and effective, but also genuinely compassionate. That combination is rare. If you're facing an employment matter, I would recommend HKM to anyone.

Jeff Mason and his team were great from the very first call. HKM has a system set up where you can directly message your attorney. This makes communication efficient and clear. I highly recommend reaching out for at minimum a consultation. We recieved a fair settlement with their hardworking.

HKM Employment Attorneys helped me during a really difficult time with a former employer. Their attorneys and staff had excellent communication, kept me updated throughout the process, and made sure I understood what was going on at each step. I felt like they took my situation seriously and followed through. If you’re looking for a law firm that specializes in employment law, I would recommend HKM. They advocated for me, stayed professional, and helped me get through a very stressful process.

I would recommend this firm to any individual finding themselves requiring this specific type of representation. Mr. Jeff Manson & his team sought this case out thoroughly, and I continue to convey feelings of gratitude and fortune in regards to the outcome during this less than fairweather time.
