Navigating FLSA laws are tricky as an employee, especially when working in a startup company with little clarity into the defined role and responsibilities at hand. Michelle and her team did an incredible job at listening, understanding, and turning my messy situation into a clear case. She succeeded in bringing forward a just and favorable resolution. I was met with the highest standard of professionalism from day one, and I especially appreciated the ease of communicating and consistently receiving honest and valid advice. It was an absolute pleasure working with Michelle and I can highly recommend her expertise and services to anyone else caught in a mess with FLSA regulations.

Michelle is very professional, knowledgable and caring. She helped me with an employer HR matter regarding ADA Accommodations, FMLA and Short Term Disability. After understanding the AZ employee/employer laws and rights, I was able to work with HR to bring outstanding issues to non-issues.

Michelle helped me navigate a termination situation with my employer of nearly 30 years. A reporting change suddenly made my value as a long term, excellent rated employee turn to one of termination in less than 60 days. Michelle helped me recognize what was happening, stay focused and take steps to protect my retirement eligibility, pension and communicate effectively with my Boss and HR. It was a difficult period of time, but with Michelle in the background providing counsel, I made the best decisions for me and my family to retire and live to fight another day. Highly recommend Michelle for any employee who needs help when their employment turns adversarial.

I am extremely pleased that I worked with Michelle. I truly appreciated her candidness and her professionalism. She guided me through an exit and because of her legal expertise we concluded with a positive outcome. She most definitely has the knowledge and expertise and I highly recommend her.

Michelle represented me through a very difficult period, following my removal from an executive role at a major firm where I had spent many years. She gave me sound advice regarding the viability of a wrongful termination lawsuit. She ended up negotiating an executive retirement package, and I'm very happy with the result. Michelle knows the law and gives honest feedback about one's options. She was a calming influence throughout a very stressful period. I would definitely recommend her.

Michelle negotiated a more favorable outcome for a complex separation agreement. She listened to understand what was most important to me and then successfully restructured a one-sided agreement, provided a balanced and realistic assessment each side’s positions, and was extremely responsive in time sensitive situations.

Michelle was fantastic - objective, reasonable - a real advocate. She is direct and honest about your situation and helps get the result that is appropriate under the circumstances.

We hired Michelle Matheson to look into a case involving the wrongful termination of a student from a very rigorous program of study. Michelle immediately analyzed the allegations presented and conducted a swift inquiry into the circumstances surrounding the termination. After Michelle agreed to take us on as clients, she ensured our interests were taken seriously by all parties involved and worked tirelessly to come up with a solution. She quickly coordinated with applicable officials & professionals outlining and citing violations of federal disability statutes. Her sound counsel brought favorable resolution to the case and gave the student a much deserved opportunity to continue pursuit of a career in medicine. Michelle represented our interests in an outstanding manner and kept us informed throughout the entire process. As we came to resolution, Michelle was very honest and upfront on all issues from culpability to cost. Simply put, Michelle and her team were fantastic! I highly recommend her legal services.

Michelle certainly knows her stuff! After not having much hope initially, Michelle helped me resolve my case FAR more than I ever expected. She is patient, empathetic, fair and extremely good at what she does. Her assistant, Christina Hackett, is welcoming and very pleasant! I highly recommend Michelle and her team! Thanks you again Michelle.

When I met with Michelle regarding a partnership withdrawal, she explained my legal situation clearly, layed out my options and offered her advice. I followed Michelle’s advice and it could not have worked out any better.
