My husband has watched Lior Samfiru on TV for years. So when I was terminated "without cause" and offered a miniscule severance, I knew exactly who to call. He gave me the courage to stand up for myself and achieve a truly great outcome.

Had the privilege to work with Halley Auger. From start to finish, they demonstrated professionalism, expertise, and genuine care. I highly recommend Halley to anyone in need of legal assistance in this area as she is very well informed.
