Expert guidance through a complex employment dispute

I engaged Dipak Patel at Ciancio Ciancio Brown to represent me in a wrongful termination case against my former employer. From our initial consultation, it was clear that his 24 years of experience, particularly his recognition in employment law for individuals, provided a deep and practical understanding of the legal landscape in Denver. He didn't just recite statutes; he outlined a clear, strategic path forward based on similar cases he had handled. His dual recognition in both management and employee-side employment law gave him a unique ability to anticipate the other side's arguments, which was invaluable during negotiations. The matter was resolved favorably without needing to go to trial, which was a huge relief. My only minor critique is that during particularly busy periods, there were occasional delays in email responses, requiring a follow-up call. However, when we did connect, his attention to detail and command of the facts were always total. I felt genuinely represented by a seasoned professional who knew exactly how to navigate a stressful situation. I would confidently recommend Mr. Patel to anyone facing employment or complex civil litigation issues.
