My husband and I had a wonderful experience working with Jill and Jeff Hammer on a very complicated case involving contract breeches. We are in the medical field. The were able to very efficiently weed through volumes of complicated data and hone in on the salient features of the case. They also demonstrated wonderful rapport with opposing counsel. I have recommended Jill and her firm to many colleagues and will continue to do so. Thank you for a job well done!

Jill S. Schwartz was referred to me by a close colleague after she witnessed the unethical treatment towards me by my former employer. During initial meetings with her and her associates she was very empathetic and quickly acknowledged I had a good case and started devising our legal position and strategy. Throughout the process Jill and her associates kept me up to date on the status of the case and was very responsive and thorough. As with most legal issues it took quite a long time to resolve

A special thank you to Attorney Jill Schwartz, her associates, and administrative staff for their diligence,persistents, and perseverance in taking on a billion dollar company on my behalf. Their compassion and relentless effort went way beyond my expectations and I highly recommend the Jill Schwartz law firm when one is a victim of discriminatory and/or unfair labor practices. Dave

I was fortunate to have been given a referral to Jill's Practice and Jeffrey Hammer was the attorney handling the case with Jill being actively involved. From the onset, they took the time to listen to the case and strategized various approaches. They are extremely competent with Labor Laws and had my best interests in mind and there was very little for me to do as they took charge of the case. All the staff in the office is very personable and professional. I am very pleased with the outcome

I have to say, Jill is amazing. When I first came into her offices I knew she was going to be a big help. Her staff on the phone and through email were on it. Quick reaction to my questions. Jill was very calming and compassionate through my situation. If there was a way to click ten stars, I would. Thanks to Jill and her team. Ping
