Shelley did an excellent job in regard to my case. I contacted other law firms for help with no such luck. When I spoke to Shelley, he made me feel comfortable and confident. Not only was he attentive to details, but his response time was also outstanding, whether by email or phone. I appreciate his honesty and hard work. I will definitely refer Shelley to whoever needs his service. Thank you!

Shelley helped me after my employer terminated me because of pregnancy. At first, I was pretty lost and wasn?t sure if I even had grounds for a suit. I had consultations with many attorneys before choosing Shelley. He really stood out from the rest and I ultimately chose him because of his genuine concern for what I had experienced with my employer and his sense of humor helped ease all my nerves. Choosing Shelley was the best decision I could have made. The case was moved from court into arbitration but Shelley did not give up. He worked hard on my case, stayed in touch often, gave me advice, answered my questions and made me feel like he cared about what they did to me. His responsiveness to all my small and large concerns was very timely and I never went more than 24 hours without a response. His team is also very professional and Carrie is wonderful to work with as well! I would recommend him to anyone having problems at work.

Shelley helped me during the EEOC mediation process. My corporate employer hired a big law firm so I needed an attorney too. He made sure they treated me fairly and included all important terms in the final severance agreement. They tried to bully me during the process, but Shelley told them he would file a lawsuit if they did not stop. It all worked out and I am so glad I found this attorney

Shelley helped me with a case and was very good about keeping me informed. Things got complicated when my employer went bankrupt and started liquidating assets. Shelley used the court rules and procedures to extract a decent settlement from a BK company. I am so glad he was my attorney. I would recommend Shelley.

Shelley is an outstanding attorney. He responds in an extreme timely matter, Phone calls were returned without delay. He is a very knowledge, trustworthy person. There is no other attorney that will work as hard for you. The thing that impressed me most about Shelley was nothing was "sugar coated". He was very straight forward and told me what to expect each step of the way..He is an excellent attorney who really goes above and beyond for his clients, I'd trust him with anything, do not hesitate to call him.

Shelley Bryant and his staff are amazing!! There came a time when I felt like giving up as my employer kept harassing me. Shelly and his staff took my case and supported me through the entire thing. He treated me like family and was always available to discuss issues or answer any question I had. He pursued my employer aggressively until we got what we had asked for!!! He is the man to correct what?s been wronged !!!

We trusted Shelley without our case because of his good reviews online. He always stayed in touch with me, which is rare for attorneys ? they never call their clients back. I appreciated that. His office is organized and neat. He stood up to my wife's company and got a good result. The company attorney did not have a chance. Like most people I did not know of any good attorney for my wife?s case. I have a pre-paid attorney service through my work which I never use. So, I decided to give them a call and I found out that they only represent employers for cases like my wife?s. They did give me advise to file a complaint with the office of EEOC to get a right to sue letter from them and then hire an attorney. I did that on my own. When I was ready to sue, I did not have an attorney. I quickly learned that in the central valley there are almost no attorneys that specialize in employment law that want to represent employees. Most attorneys want to represent employers because they have the money. Employees are typically poor and can?t afford a lawyer. I spent weeks comparing all attorneys available in the central valley and Shelley Bryant stood out above everyone. What I liked about Mr. Bryant since the beginning was that he only represents employees and he is the very best!!! He is technologically savvy which was very important for us during this covid-19. We didn?t need to get out of our home. He was always there at any time of the day responding to an email, a text or a call. A lot of times it was pretty late in the evenings (9-10 pm) and he was responding to emails. He is a good listener and explains everything to the clients very well. We are very happy with the outcome and will always keep him as my family attorney as long as he is still working.

Mr. Bryant is an excellent attorney. His expertise skillfully guided me during the entire ordeal and lead to a great outcome for me and ultimately, my family. Shelley was easy to reach by email or phone when I had questions and always took the time to respond, even when it was just panicked questions by me. The ease and timeliness of exchanging critical information and documents by him and his office gave me great confidence in the process. Can?t say enough about his caring professionalism, knowledge and flat out taking care of me, his client, against the company and its attorneys.

Shelley responded very quickly to me (within 1 business day) and with confidence, I can say, he listened to me, believed me, and fought for me when I thought I had no voice. He is amazing. He is very good about returning calls and email messages. His office is organized and neat. He helped me get a very good settlement that shows my employer was wrong. This attorney is a good one and highly recommend.

I am extremely happy with the services that I have received from Shelley Bryant and his Colleagues. From the moment I submitted my pregnancy related termination claim, I was immediately followed up with and made to feel like my concerns were not only valid, but I was made to feel like I was completely supported. Shelley was very transparent, communicative, knowledgeable and all around just great person to work with. I would recommend him in a second to anyone who needed assistance with employment law claims. Ultimately, I didn't feel like just another client, Shelley took the time to get to know me and really make me feel like feel like a friend I couldn't be happier with my experience.

With regard to my layoff, this law firm provided free consultation with some of the questions/concerns I had with the employer. I'm very much impressed that they spent time and effort and promptly followup on my queries regarding employment separation converns. Thank you very much for your service - especially in current conditions of unemployment, it's a huge help.

Shelley was incredible. There are not enough stars to rate how amazing he was. He always responded to me and treated me with the utmost respect. He was so caring helping me through one fo the mot difficult times of my life and career. He was always upfront with me and told me what to expect each step of the way. With Shelley as my attorney, I was able to extend my employment agreement and ensure that all the points that were important, especially to me were included. Shelley?s negotiations of my agreement exceeded my expectations. Without Shelley this would never have been possible! I can not begin to express my gratitude to have him represented me. There is no better person to assist you with your case!

I rarely write reviews, but can't say my experience was anything positive. My case should be what lawyers dream of, large company, improper termination not following procedures, two of us let go for the exact same bogus reasons - easily proved via emails and hard evidence. I submitted my quick summary, keeping it brief as I expected to discuss. A week goes by and no response, I call and the assistant needs to take another day to find my request. Then I'm told I have no case, they can't help - when they haven't even heard about all the evidence I have! Other attorneys thought I had an excellent case but they were out of state. Maybe they were too busy, but should have said so or give me a real consultation.
