Employment Law

I was referred to Kathy Chittley-Young by a business colleague to assist me in handling an employment matter.

Kathy was very clear in her explanations of the law as it applied to my case and in explaining my options. Ultimately it was my decision on the direction we took. Follow up was complete, timely and very thorough.

Kathy is a superb writer and I was very impressed at how she was able to sort through the ‘stuff’ and get to the point with the other side. We were successful in securing a reasonable severance/exit package.

I would highly recommend Kathy as an employment lawyer.

When I was unexpectedly terminated, I had no idea where to turn. My employer told me the reason was ‘a business decision’ and cited ’restructuring‘. They told me I had been an exemplary employee. So I went and saw Kathy at KCY. She walked me through the contract I had signed with my employer and explained how it related to both ESA and the common law. I proceeded with my case and Kathy and her team worked to obtain a substantially larger settlement for me.

After being wrongfully dismissed from my last position, I did not hesitate to contact KCY at LAW to represent my interests. Throughout the litigation Kathy took the care to closely review the details of my case, educate me on employment law, and explain my options at every stage. Ms. Chittley-Young used a concentrated proactive approach in an effort to expedite proceedings and minimize legal costs.

Thank you very much for getting me through a very stressful time. There were a number of times I was willing to give up and throw in the towel but your dedication and willingness to stand up for me was a great sense of strength for me. The process did fully overwhelm me. I was stymied that anyone would have to go through this ordeal. You certainly made things a lot easier to deal with.

Thank you for your excellent negotiations and very generous time to reach a severance settlement for me. I truly appreciate your extra efforts on my behalf! You and your law team are outstanding professionals. I learned a great deal from you during this process. I’m very pleased with the positive outcome!

Kathy’s ability to clearly map out the legal process, act as a true advocate and strategically negotiate the best settlement possible are only a few of the tremendous services KCY at LAW provided. Kathy and her team are always professional and very personable. They are always prepared to listen to your concerns and questions, leaving you with a tremendous sense of confidence and trust in representing your case as well as avoiding costly litigation.

As a previous client, Kathy kindly helped review my employment offer and suggested some important areas to negotiate. My new employer accepted those terms immediately and I am now in a much better position should my employment be terminated without cause. I would recommend Kathy to anyone that needs legal advice or assistance regarding an employment matter. Thank you so much Kathy!
