We have used Elise on and off for the past 5 years with great success. She is very knowledgeable and great at finding a quick solution if possible. She is passionate about her work and her clients. Can't go wrong with this one.

being an employer for close to 27 years, I’ve dealt with a number of labor attorneys. Having Ms. Vasquez representing my business for the past 2 years has been the best decision I’ve made. She’s diligent, knowledgeable and most importantly, practical. I would certainly recommend her to any employer.
