A trusted advisor for our complex employment matter

Our company faced a challenging wage and hour compliance issue that had the potential to escalate into a class action. Barb D'Aquila was recommended for her deep expertise in employment law management, and her 24 years of experience were immediately evident. She provided clear, strategic guidance that was grounded in the practical realities of running a business in Minnesota. Her recognition in labor and employment litigation was well-deserved; she expertly navigated us through negotiations, protecting our interests without unnecessary escalation. The one area for improvement was occasional delays in email responses during particularly busy periods, but her substantive advice was always worth the wait. We feel confident having her as our go-to counsel.
