Elizabeth Hanley

Skilled and compassionate advocate in a complex employment case

I hired Elizabeth Hanley at Schroeter Goldmark & Bender after being wrongfully terminated from my position at a tech company in Seattle. From our initial consultation, it was clear she had a deep understanding of Washington state employment law. She was able to cite specific statutes and recent case outcomes relevant to my situation, which immediately instilled confidence. Her recognition by Best Lawyers in Employment Law - Individuals was well-earned; her strategic approach to negotiating my severance and navigating the threat of litigation was meticulous and assertive. Elizabeth was personally invested in my case, explaining each step clearly without overwhelming jargon, and her compassion during a stressful time was invaluable. The outcome was a settlement that far exceeded my expectations and provided real security. If I had one note, it would be that communication timelines could occasionally be a bit slower during particularly busy periods, but her updates were always thorough when they came. I would not hesitate to recommend Elizabeth to anyone facing employment or personal injury challenges. She is a sharp, dedicated attorney who fights effectively for her clients.
