    Margaret Phillips
    Handled with professionalism and empathy
    Through a vindictive former employer, I found myself in need of an employment lawyer and Barbara Queen came highly recommended. Barbara handled my case with not only professionalism, but empathy and kindness. She walked me through all of the possibilities and was conscious of not running up oodles of legal fees for a frivolous threat. Barbara used logic and law to very effectively communicate that the former employer had no evidence, no viable claim, and ultimately no case. While I pray I never have the need for Barbara's service in the future, I would not hesitate to refer her to anyone finding themselves in a similar situation. Thank you for all of your help Lawrence Queen!

    An Absolute Blessing
    Working with Alicia Penn-Taylor was an absolute blessing. From the moment we began working together, she made me feel seen, heard, and supported. She approached my case with genuine empathy and took the time to truly understand my concerns. Alicia wasn’t just my lawyer—she was my advocate, my guide, and my voice during one of the most difficult times in my life. Her communication was clear and thoughtful, and she was always honest about what I needed to do to reach the best possible outcome. Thanks to her expertise and dedication, we were able to come to a mutual agreement for settlement that I felt truly good about. What stood out most was her ability to listen deeply, advocate fiercely, and still show compassion every step of the way. I highly recommend Alicia Penn-Taylor to anyone facing employment issues. She’s not only a brilliant attorney but also a truly remarkable human being. You won’t find better.

    Fantastic Labor Law Assistance
    Mr. Mark Passero & his firm/team at Lawrence Queen did a fantastic job in assisting us with our labor law issues. They are very knowledgeable, professional, and orderly. We highly recommend Lawrence Queen to any and all businesses that are seeking insight and aid with labor laws. I'm sure they have a wide range of fields they cover as well. Don't delay. Call the LQ team located in downtown Richmond, and they'll get you pointed in the right direction. FACTS!

    Exceeded All My Expectations
    My experience in working with Lawrence/Queen employment attorneys has exceeded all my expectations. Specifically, my attorney Mark Passero, who is an exceptional attorney with a brilliant legal mind and an empathetic soul. Mark guided me through the legal process of employment law and supported me every step of the way as I navigated through some very murky waters in my case. He empowered me to stand up for myself, and in doing so I regained the confidence that I lost during this experience. He validated me while ensuring that my rights were protected. Mark was there when I needed him the most and I will be forever grateful. Thank you Lawrence/Queen employment attorneys for your services, but most importantly, Mark Passero for allowing my voice to be heard. This world needs more people like you!

    Kayley (Kat) Porter is brilliant
    Kayley (Kat) Porter at Lawrence Queen is absolutely brilliant. During our initial consultation, she took the time to fully understand the details of my case. Even when we were nearing the end of our scheduled time, she encouraged me to continue and assured me not to worry about the time. That moment was pivotal for me, as it showed she genuinely cared about helping me, not just the consultation fee. My case was complex and multilayered, but Kat used her expertise and the right resources to ensure I was accurately represented. The firm’s senior partner, Barbara Queen, was also actively involved, making sure Kat had everything she needed, including her own invaluable experience. Throughout the entire process, Kat was completely transparent and honest with me. She never sugar-coated anything, which helped me make decisions based on facts, rather than emotions. Given how personal and difficult these cases can be, having someone like Kat as a steady guide was incredibly important. Many women in situations like mine often believe that the way they are treated is normal or that they might be the problem. Kat and Barbara believed me from the start, and that validation was more meaningful than even the successful outcome of my case. It helped me realize that I wasn’t alone or delusional. If any part of this review resonates with you, I highly recommend Lawrence Queen Employment Lawyers. No one should suffer as I did, and this firm can help.

    Saved me a whopping $5000!
    I had a 30-minute consultation with this law firm that ended up saving me a whopping $5000! The attorney thoroughly reviewed my offer letter and experience at the company before our meeting, and provided me with valuable insights and tips. Armed with this knowledge, I was able to send a single email to my former employer's lawyer, which prompted them to drop their demand for repayment of my relocation package. The attorney's expertise and guidance were instrumental in resolving this matter efficiently and effectively. I highly recommend this law firm for their exceptional service and value.

    Top Notch Representation
    Barb Queen and Scott Laws represented me when my former employer refused to pay my last paycheck and unused vacation pay. They secured all the pay that was legally owed to me and collected all of the attorney fees, so they did an outstanding job on my case. Top notch. I highly recommend Lawrence Queen.

    Restored My Courage Amid Harassment
    I'm profoundly grateful for the exceptional consultation I received from McQueen & Lawrence, particularly from attorney Mark Passero. His guidance on how to approach my situation when being targeted and facing harassment by executive-level management in a state agency was truly outstanding and surpassed all expectations. Confronting a distressing situation within a state agency marred by systemic dysfunction and a leadership seemingly more focused on self-preservation than public service left me feeling vulnerable and powerless. The agency's apparent disregard for proper protocols and ethical standards created a hostile environment that was both professionally and personally challenging. Mark's expert advice was transformative in this difficult context. He provided me with crucial insights on how to navigate this complex and deeply troubling issue effectively, empowering me to stand up for my rights and the principles of good governance. What set Mark apart was his approach to my precarious situation. He didn't just offer legal counsel; he empowered me with strategies to stand up against intimidation from high-ranking officials. His support restored my courage when the weight of confronting executive-level harassment had shaken my confidence to the core. Mark's commitment to advocating for those who must endure targeting and harassment within state agencies was evident throughout our consultation. He equipped me with the knowledge and tools to assert my rights and dignity in the face of such abuse of power. To McQueen & Lawrence, and especially to Mark: Your consultation on approaching this sensitive and challenging issue was exceptional. I'm deeply thankful for your expertise, your unwavering support, and the profound impact you've had on my ability to face this difficult situation. Your guidance has been invaluable in helping me navigate this dark period in my professional life.

    Exceptional Assistance from Mark Passero
    I enjoyed working with Mark Passero, who had previously represented me. I can confidently say that he provided exceptional assistance throughout the process. His expertise and knowledge in employment law were evident, and he guided me with professionalism and care. I greatly appreciated his attention to detail and prompt responses to my queries. I would highly recommend Mark Passero to anyone needing an employment lawyer. Thank you for your invaluable support!
    Erika Seaborn
    Empowered by Courage and Perseverance
    My experience in working with Lawrence/Queen employment attorneys has exceeded all my expectations. Without divulging into too much detail, attorney Mark Passero gave me the strength needed to stand up for what was right without caving into the powerful legal teams associated with a large corporation. He was fearless. The past couple months have been the darkest period I have experienced in my 47 years of life. I consistently questioned myself and my self-worth based on the circumstances. However, Mark was there to provide the courage and perseverance needed for me to gain back my self-dignity. I am now empowered by truly feeling validated in what I have achieved and what I will in the future. Mark was there when I needed him the most and I will be forever grateful. Thank you Lawrence/Queen employment attorneys for your support, but most importantly, Mark, for allowing my voice to be heard in a world where people of my protected class are silenced. God bless you!!!
