Alicia Schumacher

Skilled and strategic counsel for our employment dispute

Our company retained Alicia Schumacher at Bush Ross after a former employee filed a wrongful termination claim. From our initial consultation in her Miami office, it was clear she possessed a deep understanding of the nuances in employment law for management. Her recognition in Best Lawyers for Employment Law - Management and Litigation - Labor and Employment was immediately evident in her strategic approach. She meticulously reviewed our internal policies and the employee's history, crafting a defense that was both firm and pragmatic. Alicia’s guidance through the mediation process was invaluable; she was calm under pressure and negotiated a settlement that protected our interests without the risk and expense of a full trial. Her expertise in commercial litigation also proved beneficial, as she adeptly handled the contractual aspects intertwined with the employment issue. While her legal acumen is exceptional, there were a few instances where response times to non-urgent emails stretched longer than expected, which is my only note for improvement. Overall, Alicia is a sharp, knowledgeable attorney who delivers results. We felt well-represented and would confidently engage her services again for similar matters.
