Client Testimonials

“Mr. Cassidy’s expertise and professionalism added great value to my case. It is clear that he has a deep connection with making sure individuals are fairly represented, whether they are employees, nurses, disabled, minority, or otherwise.

Mr. Cassidy is involved in a number of areas of law, which ultimately benefits his clients, and keeps his practice current and competitive. He was flexible in his scheduling, had great availability, and was easy to get a hold of.

Mr.Cassidy knew when to speak when I was at a loss for words, knew when to turn the heat up when the need arose, and knew how to be demanding in a professional and appropriate way.

Mr. Cassidy is a great listener who is easy to talk to. He does a great job explaining law jargon, your rights, and your options. Mr. Cassidy makes certain that you know that you are in charge, but also that the two of you will work as a team towards the best resolution for you.

It was reassuring to know that Mr. Cassidy was prepared to represent me until the conclusion of my case, whether that meant over the next few weeks, months, or even years, he was willing to make that commitment to myself and my family.

I would not hesitate to recommend Mr. Cassidy and his practice to friends, family, and acquaintances. He made me feel comfortable and confident, and was effective in reaching a settlement in a timely manner.”

“I contacted Rich for an Employment-employee Attorney on the recommendation from a professional financial advisor. I did not any research prior to contacting Rich. It was not until later after I had my consultation with Rich did I find out that the Hoff Curtiss Firm is one of the best in the states.”

“It was great to work with Richard recently on an employment matter. He was very timely (even though he was out of the office), he was able to analyze what was important in the matter efficiently, and he was able to present me with my options in an unbiased and reasoned way. He was also able to convey some of the longer term consequences of my decision on how to proceed. It was all very helpful and I ended up taking all of his advise, including using specific language recommendations. And of coarse, there was a good outcome. M.R.”

“Attorney Cassidy was very helpful and knowledgeable. He gave honest assessments of my case and offered wise advice.”
A Satisfied Client

“Rich was exceptional. I utilized his expertise in dealing with a hostile work environment. He was readily available over several months and the outcome has been positive.”
A Satisfied Client

“This was my first experience utilizing the services of an attorney, and I felt I had no other avenue to pursue due to the hostile conditions in my place of work. I truly felt heard and affirmed, and was willing to heed the guidance I was given, although the suggested strategies put me at some risk. Rich was able to predict the long-range outcome of this process, and it has come to pass as he predicted. During many months, Rich was responsive to all my contacts with him, and I believe I would be in a very different (worse) place without his counsel.”

“Richard,

I just wanted to drop a note to say thank you for representing me during the difficult period when I was being investigated at work.

I’ve had a successful transition with life chapters. I have a wonderful job (far far better than the old job) working with great people. I live in an amazing place with so much to see and do. I have new friends. A great partner.

Even though what happened my old job was the most difficult period in my life, it did result in transitioning to a completely new and better life for me in all respects. And honestly, my life would have never changed for the better if things hadn’t ended the way that they did. It was the push needed to move on and find new challenges elsewhere – but really good ones.

I appreciate the help you provided in navigating what was a pretty opaque and disorienting process. And, your guidance with negotiating the terms of my departure made a world of difference in my ability to start over fresh in another place.

I’m happy looking forwards rather than being pulled back into the past.

I hope you continue to help others who end up in difficult circumstances and need guidance to finding their way to the other side and a second chance in life.

Best wishes,”

“Hi Rich and Matt,

Just wanted to express my gratitude for your support today. I would never have been able to present to the judge like you did and without you there, I may have just bailed out on the whole thing.
However this works out, you guys are my heroes. My stomach is unknotted for the first time in 6 months!
Cheers, my friends

M.C.

P.S. And we won! The fee is more than fair! I will get payment off to you as soon as I can. I’m again so grateful for your kindness, hand-holding and representation.
I know Matt said it was unlikely they’d appeal, but if they do, I’ll Be in touch.”
