Testimonials

“Katherine Atkinson of Atkinson Law Group expertly guided me through the complex and confusing process of filing and settling an Equal Employment Opportunity complaint at my Agency.  Not only did Mrs. Atkinson and her staff demonstrate excellence, but equally as important, they were empathetic every step of the way.  Their unwavering support and expertise resulted in a successful resolution to my complaint.  I've tried to capture my experience succinctly, but there truly aren't words adequate enough to offer here.  This firm is the personification of exceptional.”

- Candy F., Federal Employee
“Working with the team at Atkinson was a relief, particularly given the stress of the situation that brought me to them. Not only did they believe in my case, they believed in me as a person and that I deserved justice. I appreciated the way they listened to my needs and provided me with multiple, different options for action at each point during the process. We worked diligently together for multiple years and, in the end, accomplished the absolute best-case scenario for my situation. I can confidently say that I am living my best life, thanks to the team at Atkinson Law Group.”

- Christina G., Private Sector Employee
“Pursuing an EEOC claim alone against a federal agency was an insurmountable task. Thankfully, the team at the firm excepted my case and took charge early on, lifting the burden so I could rest and recover from a traumatic career loss. Their knowledge and experience won the day - and their compassionate, respectful treatment of me through 2 1/2 years earned my deepest gratitude.”

- Lori P., Federal Employee
“When I first met with the Atkinson Law Group, they sat me down and actually listened to my concerns and empathized with me. They thoroughly explained to me the process and what I should expect. Throughout the long process, they were very attentive and supportive of me.  They worked tirelessly to prepare for every scenario that could come up throughout the process. They wanted to hold my employer accountable and speak for the people without a voice. The trials and tribulations that I had to deal with since 2017 put me on an emotional roller coaster, but the staff kept me calm and grounded. They worked so hard and used their experience and expertise to zealously advocate on my behalf.  I am beyond thankful for the Atkinson Law Group and I am forever indebted to them.”

- Rodney W., Federal Employee 
"Working with Atkinson Law Group was a turning point for me during one of the most difficult periods of my professional life. From the very beginning, their team combined deep legal expertise with genuine empathy, taking the time to truly listen, understand my experience, and guide me through a complex and often overwhelming process.
What stood out most was their unwavering commitment to both accountability and humanity. I was up against a high-profile influential, big-law-backed board, and at every step, Atkinson Law Group made me feel seen, heard, and valued as a person; not just as a case. They reminded me of the dignity I deserved and helped restore a sense of confidence that had been shaken.
I am especially grateful for Lisa Sandoval, whose compassion, responsiveness, and steady support made an enormous difference throughout this journey. She consistently showed up with both professionalism and heart, and I cannot overstate the impact she had on my experience and career.
Thanks to the entire team’s dedication and advocacy, we were able to achieve a meaningful resolution. I am deeply appreciative of their work and would highly recommend Atkinson Law Group to anyone seeking not only exceptional legal representation, but also a team that truly cares about the people they serve."
