Client Reviews
Debbie MilnerFebruary 10, 2023Bob's onboarding was thorough and he was well briefed by the time I spoke to him. Working with Bob was an absolute pleasure. He is incredibly observant, clearly very well versed in the issues we addressed together, and has the incredible gift to show empathy and create rapport. He was fast, he reverted whenever he said he would (I never had to chase) and the results were so beautifully crafted and so professionally delivered. Bob helped me significantly in crafting my approach and ensuring my own professionalism was going to be respected. I appreciated his input and guidance greatly. He is very good at what he does, and believes in gently and firmly... he is not a war mongerer. A great gift to his clients ensuring they get the best deal with the softest touch. Thank you Bob. I am grateful for your input ... and the output!
James ManvilleFebruary 10, 2023Jason Cox, his father Garth Cox and Sandy Meizlish took on our case about 4 years ago. This case was complex to say the least as I was wildly attacked in front of a place of business. I suffered a severe brain injury which required life saving emergency brain surgery. I was devastated physically and to make things worse, my family was devastated financially as it would eventually lead to the loss of my business after developing epilepsy. This is a job well done. A little over 4 1/2 years ago our lives would change forever. My family and I were brought to our knees, and I was a broken man. It has been the fight of my life these last few years to try and put the pieces back together. This settlement will get us back on our feet and will put me back on the offense. This gives my family and myself the chance that we needed to rebuild and move forward with our lives. It doesn’t take a genius to know that this case was quite complex and it wouldn’t have taken much for us to lose. I’m grateful that it’s finally over and thankful that I had all of you on my side. This was more than just a settlement, it was Justice Served and chalk one up for the good guys. Thank you Jason, Sandy, Garth, the experts and the rest of the team.
Kate MacIntyreFebruary 4, 20236 months ago my employer decided not to pay me and my fellow emts and medics for 3 weeks of pay and laid us off. One of the emts created a class action lawsuit for us and we got our pay and more thanks to this law office. The employer tried to get one by them too by giving net wage info instead of gross wages and the law office caught them. They were also incredibly friendly and personable. Thank you all so much for helping us🙏🙏🙏.
Stephanie NicklasFebruary 4, 2023Bob DeRose and his team were excellent to work with. Me and the rest of us in the class action lawsuit weren’t paid for 3 weeks of work from an employer that kept 1 station open while closing 3 of its other stations. We were without work with a 2 hour notice and wasn’t paid for those hours for the previous 3 weeks. It was devastating to all of us. Bob explained the process and was there for any questions we had along the way. Hard to say if we would have ever gotten paid without his help! Thanks again to Bob and his team.
Davian RogersJanuary 20, 2023Bob DeRose did an excellent job representing my husband and I as well as many of our coworkers. He made sure we stayed informed during the entire process and won our case!
DEMETRIA HUBBARDJanuary 16, 2023I had the opportunity to work with Bob Derose on my wage case, he was very thorough, and professional, he listened to my concerns, and fought like hell, to make sure that I received my fair compensation. I was referred to his office by a co-worker. I cannot thank her, or him enough for all that he has done. I would recommend his services to anyone that went through what I went through, in order to receive what is BY RIGHT due to them!
Chasity AdkinsDecember 24, 2022I highly recommend obtaining Bob DeRose for legal representation. When I first contacted this firm about an employment issue involving tipping out managers in a restaurant (DeeJays BBQ Ribs & Grille Weirton,Wv), I did not even know if I had a case that could be pursued. Bob DeRose took the challenge and I cannot thank him enough for his hard work. He fought for us every step of the way and changed the lives of 37 servers. He was able to successfully get money back that had been wrongfully taken from us. Thank you for taking a chance on us and for not stopping until we won!
