Invaluable Guidance Through a Complex Employee Termination

When we faced a challenging situation involving the termination of a long-term employee with performance issues, our internal team was understandably anxious about potential legal exposure. We were referred to Meredith Barrett at Morris, Manning & Martin, and it was the best decision we could have made. Meredith’s deep knowledge of Georgia employment law was immediately apparent. She didn't just give us a legal answer; she walked us through a strategic process, helping us meticulously document the performance concerns and navigate the termination meeting protocol to minimize risk. Her counsel was both thorough and practical, clearly born from her focused experience in employer-side representation. The entire process concluded smoothly without any claim being filed, which was our optimal outcome. Meredith’s professionalism, responsiveness, and calm demeanor under pressure were exceptional. It’s no surprise she’s recognized in her field. For any Atlanta-area employer needing clear, confident employment law guidance, I cannot recommend Meredith McClure Barrett highly enough.
