STEVE BENARDO: The advantage of our firm's focus solely on employment law is that we really know the law inside and out. Employment law is primarily discrimination, harassment, wrongful termination, wage cases and pretty much any kind of issue that can come up in the employment setting.
MIKA HILAIRE: Clients step into Appell, Hilaire, Benardo feeling very comfortable. They know that we're credentialed and knowledgeable. The atmosphere that we create is very welcoming and open. That really is conducive for great litigation and great team building.
BARRY APPELL: My partners and I all used to work at a defense firm. And we decided that it really wasn't very satisfying and fulfilling and we all reached the same decision that we felt we would accomplish more by leaving there and starting our own firm so we could help the little guy, as it were.
STEVE BENARDO: Other firms who simple dabble in employment law often miss areas that could hurt their clients.
MIKA HILAIRE: We know employment law. We keep abreast of all the recent developments. We are ahead of the game. One of our great advantages is that we know all the new case law. We know all of the new developments in the area.
STEVE BENARDO: Well there are so many advantages to the fact that we've all done work representing employers in the past. We know how the lawyers on that side of the law are thinking. We know how companies operate. And all of these things help us to get the best possible results for the employees that we represent. And ultimately that's what it's all about is getting the best possible results for your clients at the end of the case.
