I engaged Gwen Nolan King of Nolan & King LLC to represent our small business in a complex and stressful employment litigation matter. From our initial consultation, it was clear we were in the hands of a true expert. Gwen’s deep, 17-year concentration in employment law and litigation was immediately evident. She didn't just react to the lawsuit; she conducted a thorough analysis of our internal policies and past practices, providing strategic counseling that strengthened our position from the outset. Her background, including her recognition in labor and employment litigation, wasn't just a line on a profile—it translated into a commanding, nuanced understanding of the courtroom. What truly sets Gwen apart is her ability to demystify the legal process. She explained every strategic decision, from discovery to potential settlement, with clarity and patience, making us feel like informed partners. When a particularly contentious land use issue arose tangentially, affecting our commercial property, her parallel expertise in that arena was invaluable. She seamlessly navigated both fronts, a testament to her well-rounded practice. The result was a highly favorable settlement that protected our business and its reputation. Gwen is more than a lawyer; she is a strategic partner who combines Cornell-honed legal acumen with genuine empathy. Her professionalism is unmatched, and her commitment to a positive outcome is relentless. I cannot recommend her highly enough.
