Experienced and effective counsel for a complex workplace issue

Our company faced a difficult wrongful termination claim from a former executive. Michael Warner's deep knowledge of Chicago employment law, honed over three decades, was immediately evident. His strategic guidance from Franczek PC was invaluable, and his recognition by Best Lawyers is well-deserved. He navigated the negotiations with precision, securing a very favorable settlement. While his billing structure is clear, the pace of communication could occasionally be more responsive during non-critical phases. Overall, I highly recommend him for any serious labor and employment matter.
