A skilled and strategic advocate for our company

Our mid-sized manufacturing company in Jacksonville recently faced a complex wrongful termination lawsuit. We engaged Reed Russell at Phelps Dunbar based on his recognized expertise in employment law management. From our first consultation, it was clear his decade of experience was a major asset. He didn't just react to the allegations; he conducted a thorough investigation into our internal policies and the employee's history, building a defense that was both legally sound and strategically nuanced. His background in labor and employment litigation was evident in how he anticipated the plaintiff's arguments and prepared our management team for depositions. The case settled favorably for us before trial, saving significant time and resources. While his billing is in line with other attorneys at his level of recognition, some of our internal team noted that responses to non-urgent emails could occasionally take a day or two, which is a minor point in an otherwise excellent representation. I would confidently recommend Mr. Russell to any Florida business navigating sensitive employment matters.
