About MKO Employment Law LLC

MKO, “Providing you a path forward in your life, career, and recovering the compensation you deserve.™” "Employment Law Ready✔ ™"

MKO Employment Law LLC is a group of contingency fee based lawyers with the pedigree of a large plaintiff employment law firm, but intending to stay nimble and cost efficient to focus on clients, provide greater access to their attorneys by having fewer and higher quality cases, and to provide real solutions and plans of action. Our forte is in assessing clients’ employment issues and comprehensively planning a strategy, which may include litigation, to obtain the best potential outcome for the client. We are resolution oriented and not looking to destroy careers and reputations with needless litigation. We offer actual attorney (not staff) consultations from 7am to 7pm Monday through Friday, and 8am to 3pm on Saturday and Sunday. We are always happy to give advice to everyone, even if we can’t represent you.

Reasons To Choose Our Law Firm

Focused Employment Law Practice

MKO is a “boutique law firm” which means that we concentrate on this niche area and offer highly focused employment law services to clients who are looking for the personal touch. Boutique law firms are not a one-stop legal shop, and that’s a good thing. While a long roster of diverse legal services may look impressive on paper, it’s fairly pointless in practice. You need one good attorney who knows the ins and outs of the area of law that’s relevant to your case. Look for a law firm that only practices in the area of law that you need. If that’s all they do, chances are, they do it very well.

Technology Driven & Experts in the Cloud

We provide immediate legal consultations, operate a paperless law firm, use advanced cloud storage, digital signatures, electronic forms, and can review your documents using screen share technology instantaneously. MKO is technologically savvy, nimble, flexible, and efficient. We are not confined to our office, chained to a desktop computer, or burdened with IT maintenance. Thanks to the smart use of technology we can focus on providing our clients with the best representation possible. By streamlining our practice we can focus on what our clients hire us to do – advocate on their behalf and work diligently toward a desired result.

Legal Advice Instantly From The Comfort of Home

MKO can provide superior legal services through adapative use of new technology and provide the majority of legal assistance while you are comfortably working from your home. It just also happens it’s better, easier, and faster for our clients – they really appreciate it. We seemlessly and interactively collaborate with you in a relaxed enviornment where you have all of your files in your immediate control. We find this is the absolute best way to provide legal advice to our clients on complex legal issues, hands down.

Discreet When Necessary

While many cases require that we go to court to seek justice, there are a substantial number of disputes that need to be handled discreetly. We see each legal dispute as an opportunity to find a fair and equitable resolution without destroying your reputation, resume, job prospects, income, and if avoidable, not subjecting you, your family, friends, and former coworkers to unnecessary, highly invasive, time consuming, stressful, and ultimately public litigation. MKO, “Providing you a path forward in your life, career, and recovering the compensation you deserve.™” Confidentiality is key, for everyone.

Keeping Costs Low To Focus On Your Case

Our clients understand that their representation are far more important than an expensive address. Some law firms might be battling an extremely burdensome and large overhead costs. In other words, to survive, they may need to be a “factory firm” or “volume practice” that needs to process a vast amount of cases to be able to afford their superfluous costs, expenses, and overhead. We aggressively keep costs down so we can focus on you. Don’t want to be treated like an account number, a settlement figure, or a wheel that needs to be turned to keep the law firm getting paid? We keep our costs low and use this financial freedom for our clients best interests.

Highly Responsive Attorneys

We even make ourselves extremely available to clients, even beyond our normal business hours! When you call us your attorney answers, not a secretary who puts you on hold for 20 minutes, then tells you that you can leave a voicemail for your attorney. Besides the MKO office phone number, our clients can contact their attorney via a desk & mobile phone number, SMS & texting, as well as business & emergency email. For example, we can often respond to a text message in just a few minutes. Experience a better, faster, and more efficient way to work with an attorney. MKO believes that clients can and should depend on the fact that we’ll respond quickly.

I was in need of a law firm and attorney who would were knowledgeable in the area of healthcare related employment issues. From my very first call to the MKO firm the staff conveyed a high level of professional background and understanding regarding the reasons for my legal needs. The entire process was explained thoroughly from the very beginning and remained extremely organized throughout. I was amazed not only at the caring and reliability of all involved, but also the responsiveness to questions and concerns that arose during the time that I utilized this firm. Because of the overall tremendous effort by the team, I was able to quickly obtain the outcome for which I was hopeful, and our case concluded with a win. I would refer anyone and everyone to MKO Employment Law LLC.

Working with Attorney Christi and Megan was a very smooth, professional, efficient, and with a personal touch experience. Our information we exchanged via email was prompt and precise which enabled me not to be side tracked from my business and clients. They made it easy to understand the legalities of the case, using layman's terms, which made me feel a part of the case and not intimidated by law terminology. Very efficient responding to emails, I never had to wait for a response unlike most businesses. Very impressed by this law firm and Attorney Christi. Did not lose any sleep while preparing for my case due to feeling confident I was in the best possible hands. Highly recommend!

I was represented by Kayla Drum in an unemployment compensation hearing. I got there early and we got to talk for a while before hand. She is very warm, friendly, kind and reassuring. When it came time for the hearing her expertise took over. She was perfectly prepared. I could not have hand picked an attorney for me better than Kayla. If you're facing a UC hearing , spend the money and get representation. It is so worth it. Thank You Kayla!!!!

When I found out the company I worked for was appealing my unemployment I panicked. I contacted MKO. The conversation made me feel more at ease. The directions were clear and questions were answered usually the same day. I was extremely nervous about the hearing. Kayla was absolutely awsome. She was knowledgeable about my case and protected me from unnecessary and unreasonable questions. I would highly recommend her and this law firm. It was absolutely and completely worth every penny.

Although we weren't able to reach an agreement with my employer, MKO did everything they could to understand my case and represent me the best they could. The team is responsive, knowledgeable, and compassionate. I was very grateful for working on contingency and their support even after my work refused to work with us. I felt validated, seen and heard by the team. I would recommend MKO to anyone who needs employment law help.

Working with Christi was a great experience. We discussed the details and used them to form a strategy. Christi handled all communications with opposing counsel and helped me achieve a desirable outcome. 10/10 would *highly* recommend.

Christi and her team won my UC case. They are amazing to work with--very responsive and supportive. I was very well prepped for my referee decision and I'm still amazed at how smooth things went. The case took years, much longer than expected because of the pandamic. But Christi and her team were with me the whole way. I recommend them wholeheartedly.
