I would like to express my deepest thanks to Sidney and Cathy, my attorneys, for their exceptional support throughout these past months. During a particularly challenging time, both personally and medically, you surrounded me with kindness, patience, and admirable professionalism. Your attentiveness, guidance, and determination allowed me to move forward with confidence and peace of mind despite the difficulties. I am profoundly grateful for your dedication, your humanity, and the care you brought to every step of this process. Thanks to you, I felt understood, supported, and respected. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart. 💛

I was referred to Correia and Puth (C&P) through the Legal Network for Gender Equity. Through that network, I was granted a free one-hour consultation with an attorney at C&P. After hearing my complaint, the law firm agreed to represent me pro bono because they agreed my rights had been violated per the DC Human Rights Act and it was "the right thing to do." I worked with a couple of C&P attorneys who remained committed to my case as we moved it through the DC Office of Human Rights until it was successfully resolved. Having a team of attorneys committed to doing the right thing demonstrated to me that they put people first and that they're in this line of work for the right reasons. Thank you C&P for advocating on my behalf for fair and equal treatment! I am forever grateful.

Jonathan Puth and Kelsey Speyer were so compassionate yet assertive in my case and represented me so well. Their confidence, expertise and knowledge regarding employment law in the District of Columbia were all factors in my decision to have them represent me! They are professional and very down to earth. Can’t recommend them enough!

Linda Correia and Andrew Adelman did a stellar job on my case. Linda had represented me before, and from the moment this case began, I had complete confidence she would obtain a good outcome for me. She, Andrew, and the rest of their team obtained an outcome that exceeded my hopes and expectations. They listened to me and were fierce advocates. I cannot recommend them highly enough.

I had the pleasure of working with Lauren Khouri, and I couldn’t be more satisfied with the outcome of my case. From the very beginning, she was professional, encouraging and truly dedicated to understanding my situation. Throughout the process, she kept me informed and answered all my questions with patience and clarity. I highly recommend Lauren to anyone in need of a skilled and reliable attorney.

Working with Jonathan Puth was a wonderful experience. He guided me through the process and represented me in such a skillful and thoughtful way that I felt very confident from start to finish. Jonathan's deep understanding of state and federal laws and the nuances of those laws really gives him an edge. He is someone who is driven by doing good in the world and this ethos is apparent in his work.

 
Wrongful Termination

Hired Attorney Jonathan Puth

Concerned that my boss might want to let me go, I called Jonathan Puth. He was wise, caring, patient, and willing to discuss any concerns or issues I had. His counsel was incredibly effective. I’m certain that his assistance put me in a position of being able to secure a generous severance package. Because of Jonathan, my employer decided it would be better for them to be generous, than having to enter into a prolonged negotiation where they risked paying even more.

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.

For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings™, please visit our Ratings Page on Martindale.com and our Frequently Asked Questions

Avvo Client Reviews

Ratings and reviews are feedback from people who have either consulted an attorney about an issue (but may not have hired the attorney) or people who hired an attorney as a current or former client and provided their feedback to our sister site, Avvo.com.
