Thank you to Jill for compassionately reviewing my case and listening to my experience. I highly recommend her as an attorney for anyone facing workplace harassment and retaliation. It was also so kind to have a free consultation when you do not know if you have a case, it can be scary to put more money on the line when you have already lost so much.

I am very grateful for the thoughtful and compassionate guidance provided by Thomas Newkirk and his staff. He guided me through a difficult transition, providing options based on my needs and concerns. He took the time to listen and made me feel heard and valued. I would highly recommend his services to women in college athletics.

I had a consultation and follow-up work done with Jill regarding a workplace issue, and I can't say enough about how professional and compassionate they were throughout the process. They took the time to listen, asked thoughtful and thorough questions, and treated my situation with respect and care. Even when the outcome wasn't what I had hoped for, they were honest, transparent, and realistic about my options, which I truly appreciated. Their guidance helped me understand my rights and make informed decisions. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone needing knowledgeable and empathetic legal support.
