Competent but room to improve

I worked with Anthony May on a disability accommodation case, and he was knowledgeable about employment law and accessible technology. He handled the complex litigation well, which aligned with his recognized expertise in civil rights law. However, communication was sometimes slow, and I often had to follow up to get updates. While his legal skills are solid, the experience fell short on responsiveness and clarity in explaining next steps. For someone needing a skilled but more communicative attorney, this might be an area to consider.

Thorough and Knowledgeable Attorney

Mr. May handled my workplace disability discrimination case with exceptional skill and compassion. His deep understanding of civil rights law and commercial litigation was evident in every filing and court appearance. While his expertise in accessible technology accommodations was particularly impressive, I wish he had been more responsive to my emails during the final stages. The outcome was favorable, and I’m grateful for his dedication. A small improvement in communication would make him perfect.

Knowledgeable and Passionate Advocate

Anthony J. May is an exceptional attorney who combines deep expertise in general practice with a genuine commitment to his clients' needs. I sought his assistance for a workplace discrimination case involving reasonable accommodations, and his understanding of disability rights law, particularly in employment settings, was immediately apparent. He meticulously reviewed my case, leveraging his recognition in appellate and civil rights law to craft a strong strategy. While I found his legal insights invaluable, I noticed that his response time to emails could occasionally be slower than anticipated, especially during high-demand periods. That said, his courtroom presence and ability to navigate complex litigation—aligned with his background in commercial disputes—proved critical to achieving a favorable outcome. Beyond his technical skills, Anthony’s personal approach made a difficult process less daunting. I would undeniably recommend him for employment-related legal battles, though future clients might clarify communication expectations upfront.

Exceptional Advocate for Disability Rights

Working with Anthony May was a transformative experience. His deep expertise in employment law, particularly in cases involving disability accommodations, was evident from our first consultation. I faced a complex situation where my employer was unwilling to provide the accessible technology I needed to perform my job. Anthony not only understood the legal nuances of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) but also approached my case with a level of empathy and dedication that made all the difference. His recognition in appellate practice and civil rights law wasn’t just a title—it was clear in how he strategically navigated my case. Anthony’s ability to break down legal jargon into understandable terms helped me make informed decisions every step of the way. The outcome was better than I could have hoped for, thanks to his relentless advocacy. If you need an attorney who combines professionalism with genuine care for their clients, Anthony May is the one to call.

Competent and Dedicated

I highly recommend Anthony J. May for his expertise in disability rights and workplace accommodations. As someone who required accessible technology for my job, Mr. May’s deep knowledge of legal protections for employees with disabilities was invaluable. He navigated the complexities of my case with clarity and professionalism, ensuring I received the accommodations I needed. His background in appellate practice and recognition in civil rights law added credibility to his work. The outcome was favorable, but I wish communication could have been more prompt at times. While the cost was reasonable for the level of service, a bit more transparency on fees upfront would have been helpful. Overall, his dedication and legal acumen made a significant difference in my case.

Decent representation, but room for improvement

I worked with Anthony May on a disability accommodation case, and while he was knowledgeable about the legal aspects—especially given his recognized expertise in civil rights law—there were some areas where the experience fell short. His understanding of workplace accessibility laws was clearly strong, but communication could have been more consistent. I often had to follow up to get updates, and responses were sometimes delayed. While the outcome was reasonable, the process could have been smoother. His background at Brown, Goldstein & Levy LLP suggests a high standard, but my interactions didn’t always reflect that level of responsiveness. I’d recommend him for complex cases, but set clear expectations about communication.

Competent but Room for Improvement

Attorney May handled my workplace disability accommodation case with a solid understanding of civil rights law, reflecting his recognized expertise. He secured reasonable accommodations for my accessible technology needs, though the process took longer than expected. While his legal knowledge was clear, communication was sometimes delayed, and office wait times were inconsistent. The outcome was satisfactory, but I wished for more proactive updates. Overall, competent representation, but expectations didn't fully align with the experience.
