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.

My lawyer was very communicative and explained every step throughout the entire process. I would not have been able to win my case without her. She is the best in the business!

Worked with Kayla who handled my case very well. She communicated with me constantly and did an excellent job in calming my anxiety and stress caused by the cause. I felt very safe letting them handle the situation and have been very happy with the outcome. If I needed an employment lawyer again, I would turn to MKO in a heartbeat.

Kayla was great to work with. She answered all of my emails in a timely manner and on phone calls I never felt rushed and she explained everything thoroughly. She also explained things in simple terms due to all of the legal jargon that I do not understand. I never felt pressured one way or the other when deciding how to proceed with my case. Would absolutely hire MKO in the future if needed.

Kayla and her assistants at MKO delivered a quick and decisive victory over the PUA Unemployment Department of PA. She laid out the facts concisely and the PUA referee did not dispute or challenge any aspect of our case. Called many lawyers, most were honest & said they did not know the new PUA laws well enough to help me. MKO knew everything inside and out; fully explained my options and their approach. They were all also genuinely nice people. Very smart lawyers, highly recommended!

I just received notification from the office of unemployment compensation that I won my case against my former employer who was seeking to withhold my UC benefits. Christi was very instrumental in helping me to obtain a favorable decision from the unemployment referee. She and her staff helped to prepare me for the interview and Christi provided key legal analysis and commentary that I believe tipped the scales in my favor. Thank you so much Christi!! I highly recommend Christi!
