Wrongful Termination
Posted by Peter
May 05, 2026
Hired Attorney Samuel Nielson

To everyone reading this: My name is Peter and I am very grateful to have met Sam and to have obtained his services. Sam was extremely helpful with a wrongful termination case I had, and the result was what I had hoped for. At the beginning, I was very skeptical when I had to choose an attorney to represent me for my case. I took a chance with Sam, and I will always be indebted to him. He treated me as a human being with feelings and emotions and that ladies and gentlemen you can never put a price on. So, with this I say. Thank you Sam. Thank you.

Sam did an outstanding job helping me with my case. From start to finish, he was professional, knowledgeable, responsive, and truly supportive throughout the process. He made me feel heard, took my concerns seriously, and handled everything with confidence and skill. I was extremely happy with the outcome of my case and very grateful for his help. I have recommended Sam to several friends who needed a labor attorney for a case, and I still get thanked for how helpful he was in getting them an outcome they were happy with. I absolutely recommend Sam Nielson and Elite Employment Law to anyone in need of strong employment law representation.

Sam is an extremely compassionate and knowledgeable lawyer. From the beginning of the process to its completion, Sam kept me up-to-date and clearly explained the current status and what steps and/or options were to take place next. He is quick to respond and I felt extremely confident with him at my side. I highly recommend Sam for any and all employment questions or concerns.

Lawyers.com Client Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.

The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.

Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page

Martindale Peer Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.

The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.

What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*

• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.

• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.

• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.

Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.

Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.
