Francisco García Lerma

Expert guidance on a complex workplace discrimination case

I engaged Francisco García Lerma at Holland & Knight to assist with a sensitive workplace discrimination matter. While my case was complex, involving allegations of a hostile work environment and potential retaliation, Francisco demonstrated a clear and methodical approach from our initial consultation. His specialization in Labor and Employment Law was immediately evident. He took the time to thoroughly explain the legal landscape, including the nuances of both state and federal statutes, which was invaluable for me as a client navigating this stressful situation. His recognition in this specific field gave me confidence in his strategic advice. Francisco was particularly adept at preparing our position, drafting precise communications, and outlining a realistic pathway forward, whether through negotiation or litigation. The outcome was a favorable settlement that protected my professional interests without the need for a protracted court battle. My experience was overwhelmingly positive. If I were to note one area for improvement, it would be that during the busiest periods, there were occasional delays in email responses, though his team was always courteous in providing status updates. For anyone in the Denver area facing employment-related legal challenges, I would confidently recommend Francisco for his expertise, professionalism, and dedication to his clients' success.
