A Tenacious Advocate Who Secured Justice After Workplace Discrimination

When I faced a complex situation involving wrongful termination and retaliation from a former employer, I was overwhelmed and uncertain where to turn. From our very first consultation, Carolyn Wheeler provided not just legal expertise, but a sense of clarity and confidence. Her deep understanding of employment law, undoubtedly honed during her distinguished tenure at the EEOC, was immediately apparent. She meticulously dissected the facts of my case, explaining the nuances of the legal landscape in a way that was both thorough and accessible. Carolyn’s strategic approach was formidable; she anticipated every counter-argument and built an unassailable case. Her recognition in the field, including being named Lawyer of the Year, is clearly well-earned. Throughout what was a stressful process, she was a steady, communicative, and compassionate guide. The result was a settlement that far exceeded my expectations, restoring not only my financial security but my professional dignity. I cannot recommend Carolyn highly enough. For anyone navigating employment or civil rights issues in Washington, D.C., she is the attorney you want in your corner.
