Scott Evans
When I was unexpectedly terminated from my executive position after raising compliance concerns, I was overwhelmed and unsure where to turn. I needed an attorney with deep expertise in both employment law and complex litigation. Dean R. Fuchs was recommended to me, and from our first consultation, his 26+ years of experience were evident. He didn't just see my case as a simple wrongful termination; he immediately identified potential claims for retaliation and whistleblower protection, drawing on his national practice perspective. Dean and his team at Schulten Ward Turner & Weiss, LLP were meticulous, guiding me through the discovery process with a strategic clarity that kept me informed but never burdened. His negotiation with the opposing counsel was firm yet professional, ultimately securing a settlement that far exceeded my initial expectations and fully protected my professional reputation. Dean’s blend of Atlanta-based diligence and national-level insight is truly exceptional. I cannot recommend him highly enough for anyone facing serious employment legal challenges.
