I engaged George Adams at Fisher Phillips to assist my mid-sized manufacturing company with a sensitive wrongful termination claim. With 25 years of focused labor and employment experience, his counsel was immediately practical and grounded in deep knowledge of Kentucky law. He deftly navigated the investigation and negotiations, ultimately securing a favorable settlement that avoided costly litigation. His recognition in publications like Best Lawyers is clearly well-earned. George is a strategic thinker who explains complex legal concepts in plain business terms. While his response time can occasionally be slower during peak periods, the quality of his work is consistently excellent. I highly recommend him to any employer facing workplace legal challenges in the Louisville area.
