The Employment Law Group

TELG has a dedicated staff starting from intake, and they are genuinely attentive to your concerns when you need to resolve a legal dispute. Upon making an inquiry, their intake team promptly scheduled a call between me and one of their legal professionals to discuss the case. After it passed some initial tests, they shared an engagement letter that clearly outlined all the important information a client should know when retaining a law firm.

From there, I worked with a dedicated legal resource who reviewed the materials I shared. I also coordinated with one of their outsourced investigators and eventually spoke with their managing partner regarding moving from the case evaluation phase to litigation.

I found their knowledge to be in-depth, and they were able to explain the intricate parts of the law so I could clearly understand the strengths, weaknesses, potential risks that may come up during a case, and the limitations of legal services.

I strongly recommend retaining TELG and also being prepared for litigation. They know the law; as a client, you have to know the facts, the sequence of events, and have all corroborating information—or know exactly where it's located. Resolving a legal dispute with a business partner, employer, or other party is a very complicated process and can take years. Coming prepared to the law firm will ensure they can give your case the examination it deserves.

My review will be similar to reviews of many others.
Initial impression during consultation with Mr. Carter was very good. The man is knowledgeable and professional.

Don’t let the initial intake call with Mr. Carter make you feel impressed and like your experience will be any different than mine.

After case assignment, my experience went south very quickly. You’ll be assigned a principal, but they give little to no attention to it — law clerks and poorly compensated & overworked associates will be working it. The associates are clearly graded on how much they bill clients because they’ll bill you for just about anything — breathing seems to be sufficient cause.
My associate was very unethical in how she billed and would intentionally mislead me on things to say they’d do something. I’d follow up two weeks later to hear she’s still working it. I’d flip out eventually. My case was eventually escalated to Mr. Woodfield because I likely became an unruly client in their eyes. When I confronted Mr. Woodfield in a conference call with all parties in attendance, I informed him was the associate had said, the sequence is events. Shockingly, he admitted they’d never work what the associate claimed to be working — thereby validating that I was intentionally being misled and misbilled.
Of course, they never admitted to anything in writing, but they did magically discount some expenses the following month. Unfortunately, the couple thousand they discounted me didn’t make up for the $75,000 I paid them to do the case. The case could’ve been handled for $15-20k by a principal working a tiny fraction of the time, but the associates have no idea what they’re doing.

The ratio of principals to associates is extremely be out of balance, so you shouldn’t expect associates to have adequate supervision to do a good job with your case.

Good luck if you choose this firm. I highly recommend putting in the time & effort to find a different law firm.

I recently consulted with Mr. Carter and was very impressed with the experience. He explained everything in clear, layman’s terms and was both personable and direct — no fluff, just honest and straightforward communication.

I am very glad we had the opportunity to consult together. If you are considering legal representation or simply need guidance, I would absolutely recommend taking the time to speak with them and see if it is the right fit for your situation. It is definitely worth your time.

Keri, Scott and Anthony were very kind and thoughtful. The asked all the right questions and were very thorough.

Stay far away. This firm only cares about an easy win, not your safety. I was still employed and showed them documented proof of management committing a third-degree felony (FL Statute 806.10) by sabotaging my emergency equipment after I reported safety violations. They refused to touch the case because I hadn't been fired yet. They literally wanted me to stay in a dangerous, criminal environment and lose my livelihood before they’d help. I handled it myself, triggered a corporate audit, and moved to a better company on my own. Zero stars for a firm that ignores the law to wait for a bigger payout."
