Rockville and Bethesda, Maryland, Employment Law AttorneyREAD WHAT CLIENTS SAY ABOUT RESPECTED EMPLOYMENT AND LABOR LAW ATTORNEYMINDY G. FARBERFounder of Farber Legal LLC "You make a great difference in the lives of many individuals" We would like to take this opportunity to thank you for all you have done for the Montgomery County Commission for Women Counseling and Career Center...you make a great difference in the lives of many individuals who call our Center with specific legal questions. In spite of your responsibilities to your profession, you take the time to call clients back with the appropriate legal information requested. That flexibility and generosity with your own time had made possible to offer legal information by phone to over 150 individuals who submitted questions last year. Often, clients have called to let us know that the information received has been very helpful to them. .. You bring your wisdom, commitment, and care to everyone you talk to on the phone... We clearly could not do it without you... Clotilde Puertolas Workshop Coordinator and Program Specialist "I have enjoyed working with uou over the years" Hi, Mindy, I wanted you to know that I am leaving NIH to become the director of the Ombudsman Office at the American Red Cross. I have enjoyed working with you as an employee/outside counsel over the years. Hopefully, our paths will cross again. Kevin Jessar Washington, DC "You really took charge" I just wanted to say thank you for the hard work you put into my case. You really took charge and made things happen. Dan Schneider Silver Spring, MD
"You are an awesome attorney" According to a client yesterday, you are an awesome attorney!!! I'm pretty sure you are! Lawyer Referral Service Bar Association of Montgomery County, MD "I appreciate all your hard work" I really do thank you for all your work and time with my case. I am hoping the judge will also see my side of this. You are very good at putting your spin in my favor on any paper that you have written. Nancy Doyle Alexandria, VA "A good and warm heart that pumps out your obvious concern for people in distress" I have known my share of lawyers both good and, well, not so good. It seems they all have one thing in common: a degenerative gene that affects their ability to return phone calls or emails unless the subject affects the prospects of retaining their license to practice. As an American living in Thailand with a discrimination case against a U.S. company operating here and headquartered in the District of Columbia, the most cost effective form of seeking legal advice was to search via the internet and send inquiring emails. Concerned that I would not have enough cash to pursue my case engaging an attorney on an hourly basis, I sent out about a dozen or so such emails posing the possibility of representing me on a contingency basis. You were one of only two who responded - the other; an unsigned message simply informing me the firm is not taking new cases! While your email response explained that you do not take such cases on contingency, you actually offered to look around for another attorney who might! Lo and behold, a day passed and I received another email from you with contact information for just such an attorney. So touched was I by this effort above and beyond the call, I kept in contact with you and you continued to respond with comments on my issues and my strategy, which at this stage can proceed without legal representation. If science could locate and clone the gene from which this rare behavior originates, I'm sure there would be huge profits reaped by implanting it in other attorneys (using a dull scalpel, I hope). But perhaps it's not a gene after all; perhaps it's just a good and warm heart that pumps out your obvious concern for people in distress. Many thanks, Neil Alper "I knew I was hiring the best" Thanks so much for your hard work. I knew I was hiring the best and most competent employment attorney there is. Take Care, "Thank you again for being there for my family" By the way under the new company benefits plan that was affective as of 3/9/2009, I also included a Legal Services Plan under my benefits. Pretty much, the company policy benefits stated I can pick a lawyer of my choice or select one within the company network to handle issues (non issue) such as this. I picked you. You can reach me on my cell as always. Thank you again for being there for my family Vincent Pitts "I really appreciate all you did." Wanted to say thank you, both of you, for your excellent work on my issue. Really appreciate all you did. And, glad it's over. Sincerely, "I recommend you run - don't walk" I am a patent attorney, so have no special skills to help you. However, I recommend you run - don't walk - to a competent employment law attorney. I have no names Sincerely, "I would (and will) recommend Farber Legal to anyone." Mindy and you all are terrific! I would (and will) recommend Farber Legal to anyone. At least until my daughter gets her law degree, I consider Mindy my attorney :-). Sincerely, "I'll break out the champagne" Thanks, Nona. I'll break out the champagne and I will be toasting you and Mindy. Thanks again for your help. Sincerely, " You are fair, honest, and really top rate when it comes to knowing your stuff" What a wonderful group you all are. Knowledge, experience and excellent service all wrapped up in one package. I think every employee in the corporate world should have access to an "employment law specialist" like Mindy to answer questions & address their concerns. You are fair, honest, and really top rate when it comes to knowing your stuff. All phone calls or emails were returned super fast. I never wondered what was going on with my case. My case would not have been settled or resolved if it weren't for Mindy's "pit bull...yet professional" attack on my former employer. Farber Legal LLC is by far the most highly recommended employment law firm in the area. Mindy was recommended to me by a state appointed prosecuting attorney at my local county courthouse... she said if she (the court attorney) needed someone to represent her personally...it would be Mindy Farber hands down. I see why now. Mindy is awesome. Her support staff Nona and Cushena are great as well. Name withheld as I have been asked 'not to discuss my case' per my former employer (I believe Mindy convinced them how wrong they were)... Frederick, Maryland "Thanks for all of your profiessional guidance, and for being so kind to me throughout this debacle!" Best Wishes,
" I feel blessed" Sincerely,
Mindy, Thank you for your help, I could not have won without it. Sincerely,
" The race for Quality has no finish line" (Unknown) Sincerely, Your genuine concern and kindness were very touching!" Sincerely, "I'm pleased to have this opportunity to express our deep appreciation of your many contributions" Dear Mindy, On behalf of the AAUW and the Legal Advocacy Fund, I'm pleased to have this opportunity to express our deep appreciation of your many contributions to LAF as an Advisory Committee member. LAF's tremendous success in helping to fight sex discrimination on campus is a direct reflection of the time you invested in reviewing case support applications and the excellent advice you provided to us. Sincerely, "I haven't forgotten what you did for me" Dear Mindy, Sincerely, "I am 3 for 3 with your firm."
"Engaging you has helped Aimee understand her rights in the workplace". Regards, "You did wonders for us ... and we are truly glad."
Sincerely,

Very truly yours, Dear Mindy, All the best, I want to thank you for your help and for the phone call. I truly believe that having you in my corner contributed to the positive outcome of my predicament.

Thanks again. If I need any firepower, I'll be sure to retain your services! S I attended the Advanced HR Skills Building and Legal Update in Maryland Seminar you conducted on April 26, 2005 in Bowie. I must say the seminar was wonderful and chock full of valuable information. I am writing to inquire if you will be conducting any other seminars this year in the field of HR? S.W. Thank you very much for the information. I learned a great deal at the seminar. You were a very interesting speaker and held everyone's attention. Best to you and your law firm. S Thank you for your expert legal services. You are the best. You gave us our life and business back. C.N.J. Hi Mindy, You probably won't remember me, but I was originally referred to you by Mr. W., and you gave me some great legal advice on probably my own non-compete when I left the company I was working with at the time. Since then, I attended your employment law class(which was great) and even referred one of our employees to you, who had a legal matter that he was dealing with... R.H. It was a pleasure meeting with you today. I am attaching a copy of the letter sent to my employer this date. Thank you so much for your time and assistance. I have a tremendous amount of faith in your suggestions and will advise you when I reach my new destination. S.D. Dear Mindy, Our gratitude to you, Mary and all your wonderful colleagues. M Thank you for your prompt answer. I'm looking forward to attending one of your seminars with Lorman soon. Happy Holidays! Best Regards. M.B.

Thanks for reviewing this, Mindy. I think this will be over shortly. I'm so grateful for all your help and advice---I felt much more secure with it. Best,
S
Hi Mindy, Thanks so much for helping us out with this---your advice was very wise, and hopefully your ideas will result in a settlement. Best. S Hi, Just wanted to say thank you for your quick response on this matter, you are the best. R.H. Dear Mindy, P.M. Hi Mindy, you provided me with a consultation a few weeks ago. It was regarding an IT non-compete and my rather aggressive employer. The information and confidence you provided allowed me to complete my separation from the company...without substantial backlash. I am now in the initial stages of growth for my company. I hope to consult with you again as expansion proceeds. M.W. God bless you G.L. Just a small note to thank you for believing in me, taking my case and H.M. Thank you so much for your return email and your kindness when I came in to meet with you. It was so helpful to me to be treated with compassion at a time when I am doubting the inherent goodness of people... T.S. Words cannot express my appreciation for the referral, comments and suggestions you have provided. God bless you Ms. Farber... M.B. Thanks for our meeting this morning. It was very helpful in giving me guidelines for composing a letter to my employer. J.B. Let me say that I've spoken with several male attorney before going to you, and you have been the most honest, and the coolest by far! (It's hard to find nice friendly attorney. I don't know why. But it's what I have found). A.E. I hope you know that I appreciate your kindness and understanding of my situation and that I am very glad to have met you/handling my case. H.M. Again, I have felt simpatico with you and your approach. The combination of quick action on your part and your respectful and constructive attitude may have had an impact on their thinking - at the least it set a good example. I have only had the occasion for a lawyer one or two times in my life, but I would like to call you on other issues that arise - before I reach 100. J.P. Thank you very much for meeting with me last Thursday, September 25, 2003. After speaking with you I was so relieved and for the first time in two weeks, I could breath a little easier. Again, I thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule to meet with me. I hope nothing like this ever happens to me again. If it should, you would be my first and only call. I.P. Thank you again for all of your help and advice during this unfortunate situation. I hope to never encounter anything close to this again. Your counsel was very encouraging for me as the process was difficult and it is reassuring to have met someone so accredited and knowledgeable not only of the law, but also of right and wrong. I hope not to need to contact you again unless for a very positive situation, in which case I would be fortunate to have the opportunity to work with you. M.L. I want you to know your words of wisdom to me on Tuesday paid off already! I would appreciate it if you would hold on to the information I sent to you regarding my case should something else arise, as I would retain you with no hesitation as my attorney. Thank you, once again, for your excellent advice. K.M. Mindy, I really do appreciate the way you handle my business with the firm. It was a great deal of comfort to me... P.H. We are both very grateful for your assistance, and I thought you might appreciate knowing that you helped us win what turned out to be more than just a symbolic victory... S. D. Mindy did a great job of helping me to frame and set forth what I wanted to say and accomplish. P.C. First I want to thank you for efforts on Wednesday. I thought you did a really nice job... T ...I continue to work with the Maryland Commission on Human Relations regarding the complaint I filed one year ago today. I must commend an attorney, Mindy Farber, for her help with my case. Although I lacked the funds to retain her, she directed me to send a letter to the school system, and to include a 10 day period of time of the school system to respond. Further, I was able to include her name in the correspondence..... D.Y.S Dear Mindy, Thank you again, for your help, assistance and always reassuring me. L.K. Thank you very much for your time. Your lecture was fantastic by the way.
K.M.
