    "Alicia Penn-Taylor was a fantastic client advocate."
    She took the time to get to know me and my industry and immediately jumped in when I had a tight deadline.
    - Former Client
    "I am very grateful."
    Last year, I came to you upset, emotional, confused, hurt and frustrated. This year, I leave with a win, a measure of resolution and closure, despite the challenging political environment.
    - Former Client

    Alicia Penn-Taylor was empathetic and shared her concerns about my case and what I needed to do to get the right outcome.
    - Former Client
    "Thank you for the very positive experience and outcome!"
    I recently consulted with LawerenceQueen regarding an employment contract and a hostile work environment issue. I thank them for accepting me as a new client when everyone else was not available.

    - Ashley M.
    "Ashley Passero and her team were excellent!"
    Just got through a rough 3-year ‘non-compete’ battle. Ashley Passero and her team truly cared about my case and communicated every step of the way.
    - Cory T.
    "I appreciated the professionalism and care the team showed me!"
    Working with Lawrence Queen was such a pleasure after a stressful couple of years of going it on my own. Ashley gave me not only sound legal advice, but also practical matters to consider as I made my decision.
    - Ray P.
    "Thank you for all of your help, Lawrence Queen!"
    Barbara handled my case with not only professionalism, but empathy and kindness. Barbara used logic and law to very effectively communicate that the former employer had no evidence, no viable claim, and ultimately no case.
