A knowledgeable and strategic employment law advisor

Chris Deering provided excellent counsel during a complex employee termination and potential wrongful discharge claim. His deep knowledge of Georgia employment law, honed over a decade at Fisher Phillips, was immediately evident. He guided our management team through every step, from reviewing our internal policies to crafting a strategic response that mitigated significant risk. His recognition in labor and employment litigation is well-deserved. While his billing rates reflect his expertise, communication could occasionally be faster during non-critical phases. Overall, Chris is a pragmatic and highly skilled attorney who effectively protects his clients.
