Wrongful Termination

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I cannot thank Lydia enough for her compassion, professionalism, and dedication she showed throughout my pregnancy discrimination case against my school district. From the very beginning, she listened to my concerns, believed my story, and fought tirelessly to make sure my voice was heard. What was an incredibly emotional and stressful situation became much more manageable because of her guidance and support. She kept me informed every step of the way, answered every question with patience, and truly cared about both my case and my well-being. Thanks to her hard work and expertise, my case was successfully settled, and I finally felt a sense of justice and peace after such a difficult experience. I highly recommend this firm and Lydia to anyone needing strong, compassionate representation. They genuinely fight for their clients and deliver results.

Working with Mrs Hendrix was extremely helpful . She is an expert in her field and I couldn’t have accomplished what we needed to without her. This was all new to me and I felt like I had no where to turn until I met her. I am extremely thankful for everything she has done to help our daughter and completing all her dreams in her future education. I would recommend Mrs Hendrix to anyone who needs guidance through our education system.

Lydia was very highly recommended to us and she exceeded our expectations. We had a very upsetting problem where our six-year-old daughter's school district was refusing her enrollment through no fault of her own. Lydia immediately made us feel like she truly cared about setting things right and that she was with us 100%. Her care and compassion were greatly appreciated after weeks of struggling with cold district bureaucracy. Lydia was incredibly professional, knowledgeable, and proactive about everything such that we always felt there was positive momentum with our case and that we were a priority for her. She worked fast and efficiently to resolve our situation and the results speak for themselves. We couldn't be happier with our decision to work with Lydia, and she will always be the first lawyer we call should the need arise.

It is solely the responsibility of lawyers and law firms to ensure that any information they provide complies with all applicable laws and rules of professional conduct.

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.
