I recently had the pleasure of working with Ruth and the team. Ruth is an absolute expert with employment law. I was very impressed with her ability to navigate the complexities while being able to explain things to me in a way I could understand. The team was very responsive and made me feel confident my case was a priority. In the end, through Ruth's expertise, we were able to secure a very favorable outcome that exceeded my expectations.

The following review was written by Theodore "Ted" Dallas: Ruth Major really cared about what was happening to me. Everyone wants their lawyer to be competent but Ruth Major is a lawyer who is both highly competent and cares about her clients. Ruth did a fantastic job winning my case and the appeals! I’m no lawyer but even I could tell that she had thoroughly researched my case and understood all of the points unique to my employment. Most important, Ruth understood that my personal and professional reputation was the one of the most important issues for me. She won the day and she gave me back my dignity and my peace of mind.

"Ruth and I worked together on a hotly contested litigation matter in federal court. Ruth was a very tenacious and knowledgeable advocate, both practical and strategic, and achieved an extremely favorable outcome."

Ms. Major and her team were diligent, professional, and personable in aiding me in my difficult decisions regarding employment matters. I would highly recommend her and her staff in assisting anyone with such matters.

Best money I ever spent

I have nothing but praise for the work by Ruth Major in negotiating my employment contract. She found critical errors in the verbiage prepared by my employer which essentially denied severance payment beyond the first year. I am extremely happy with the result and encourage anyone who is given an employment contract to run it by Ruth first. This review is from a person who hired this attorney.
