Reviews
Cathryn was hired from my attorney as he was sure she would help my case. She was amazing and fought hard to make sure justice was served. She would be the first person I called if I had this type of issue again. Thank you for always being honest with me ( sometimes being a great attorney doesn't allow you to tell your client everything they want to hear). You fought hard for me when I had no fight left in me. Thank you again!
I think the qualities I appreciate most about Cathryn are her responsiveness and expertise. I've never waited more than a couple hours for a response, even if it's to say she'll have to get back to me later. Her expertise is well-rounded and she doesn't just give facts but options. Cathryn is a consummate professional who is not heavy-handed in any way. I've never felt intimidated or patronized in our dealings. I highly recommend her to anyone dealing with HR issues.
Our firm has used Cathryn Dammel for the last 7 years for all our HR issues . She has always been excellent in her abilities to to get on task very quickly. Her advice and counsel are always spot on for every problem we have encountered. If you are looking for a no nonsense and top lawyer for your company who is extremely fair in her billing practices ,I would look no further.
