DC Paid Sick Leave Rights

I had a great experience working with Susan Huhta and Pawanpreet Dhaliwal. My situation was emotionally challenging and exhausting and the duo acknowledged the grief and were dedicated to seeking justice. I worked especially closely with Pawanpreet, who was empathetic and clearly committed to a rightful outcome. She was in touch regularly, very quick to respond, accommodated my parenting schedule, and was just fantastic overall. She let me cry, let me scream (not at her, of course!), let me be human. Both Sue and Pawanpreet kept me on track and most importantly, they believed me. I felt empowered and heard and would highly recommend them should you need quality representation in the future. 

Thanks Jenny and Cody for helping me through my first employment contract. Having you on my side was very helpful.

I cannot begin to describe how grateful I am for Pawanpreet Dhaliwal at Outten & Golden LLP, as she has genuinely changed my life. I unfortunately found myself dealing with an employment matter — one that was emotionally draining and traumatizing — and I couldn’t have gotten through it without Pawanpreet. I will never forget the amount of care, time, and attention she gave to me and my case, even on our initial phone call. Pawanpreet believed me, and it truly changes your life when you are believed, understood, and feel seen. She walked me through every step of the legal process, and she was so thoughtful and honest with her legal advice, settling my case in a matter of months. Pawanpreet is so communicative and makes you feel so comfortable, and she was very accommodating to my disability, which I will also never forget. Pawanpreet is the smartest, kindest, hardest-working, and most empathetic attorney you could ever have on...

I couldn’t have asked for a more professional, knowledgeable, and empathetic lawyer to work with than Tammy. She responded quickly to all my questions and made me feel as if I were her only client. I’ll be forever grateful to Tammy – she’s a fighter for those who have suddenly lost their voice and may have been treated unfairly.

“I was an executive at my firm and experienced a sensitive HR situation. I was referred to this firm by a friend that had a great experience during their employment legal matter. This was my 1st time dealing with an employment matter. I was luckily matched with Pawanpreet Dhaliwal at Outten Golden. Honestly, going through a sensitive matter you want to have a lawyer like Pawanpreet on your side. She was communicative, thoughtful, and honest with me during the entire experience. Additionally, she settled my case in less than a month, which is unheard of in matters such as this. I highly recommend Pawanpreet and the Outten & Golden Firm.”

“Was a pleasure working with my attorney Nina. Very professional. Always responded to any questions. Highly recommend.”

“Working with Eliana and Greg was by far the best experience one could have in dealing with such a stressful case. Eliana is extremely professional yet personable. She suggests and explains every step necessary to take to get first-rate results. The communication between lawyer and client is paramount which allows for a certain level of comfortability and assurance that Outten & Golden are truly on your side. I highly recommend this firm for fighting work related cases although that isn’t their only area of expertise. Outten & Golden also take on pro-bono cases so please don’t shy away from contacting them to find out if they can assist you with your legal needs.”

“I was going through a stressful time with a departure from my firm, and engaged Cody Yorke at Outten. Having an attorney of her caliber watching out for my interests was a big relief. Cody was efficient and honest — she quickly appraised the situation, zeroed in on key points, and guided me through the process. She was very efficient in terms of the time she took, and gave clear and unvarnished advice, delivering real value. Cody is a credit to the firm, and I would recommend her without reservation.”

“I have had a wonderful experience with Outten & Golden and their staff. They assisted me with a severance package and employment contract when I was moving to a new company. I found them to be honest, helpful & attentive. The attorneys and staff at O&G have a lot of integrity and answered all of my legal questions thoroughly and professionally. There’s a very good reason why they are so successful – because they are the best of the best.”

“Wayne Outten is the consummate professional. Deeply knowledgable, motivated to help, and collaborative. I learned a lot from working with Wayne on my contract negotiations, and his efforts were instrumental in obtaining a very satisfactory contract.”
