Testimonials

“If you are looking for an attorney for Employment Discrimination or any other type of issues that Siro Smith Dickson handle, then I would highly recommend calling them before anyone else to see if they are able to take your case. My husband and I went together to meet with Raymond Dake for our first meeting and we both walked away feeling confident, hopeful and I felt heard. From Raymond, to the paralegals to the other partners and attorneys, I was always treated with respect and I never felt that I was being put on the back burner or ignored in anyway. Anytime I had a question it was answered quickly and thoroughly. I really loved that all attorneys discuss the cases together and go over them to give you more than one look at the situation. Raymond Dake was my attorney and he was genuine, compassionate, understanding, firm, thorough, inquisitive, and always professional. I can’t say enough wonderful things about Raymond and how much I appreciated his work on my case. It was obvious that Raymond loves what he does and he excels in every aspect of the job. I would recommend Raymond Dake and Siro Smith Dickson to everyone with an Employment Discrimination Case (or any other case that they handle) They get the job done while watching out for your best interest and treating you like family instead of like a client. Raymond Dake needs 50 Stars for how well he does his job!”

“Thank you to Siro Smith Dickson! Eighteen months ago, when you returned my call, you listened. I know you have been doing this for a long time and currently have and have had numerous clients, but you were focused on me. Your honesty, trust, counsel and belief in me provided me with confidence. You reassured me that I was doing the right thing. I knew moving forward was a risk and there were no guarantees, and litigation is “a full contact sport”

Maybe you have heard this before, but “Life is not measured by the breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.” The settlement was fantastic and I’m still processing it, but that’s not the breath-taking moment. It was having the firm in front of me, by my side, covering my back and, at times, carrying me!”

“I contacted Rik Siro to help me with a discrimination suit I was seriously considering with my employer at the time. Rik and all of his team members were so understanding to my situation. They worked for months, weeks, days, hours, and minutes to get my case to a jury trial. Rik, his team, his secretaries, and all who are involved with this firm, treated me with kindness, answered any questions I had, helped me with paperwork that needed to be completed, and had a complete amount of knowledge.

They were outstanding in court and held the witnesses from my company accountable for all of their answers. It was astonishing to watch them ask questions and not stop till they got the answers they wanted. I was amazed at the ability they had to make even the calmest of witnesses, nervous and mad by the time they got off the stand. The case took a week to conclude with a verdict of GUILTY of discrimination!! I was totally impressed with Rik and his entire team and had total confidence in all of their decisions in my case.

I have had countless people ask me for their phone number so they could and can contact him for something they would need him for. I could not have found a better FIRM, than SIRO, SMITH, DICKSON, and I definitely could not have won that case without each and every one of these team members especially, Rik Siro.”

“I never thought I would find myself in the devastating position of losing a job through the inappropriate actions of an employer. It was a very emotional period for me and my family as we considered contacting an attorney. After talking with four different law firms, we decided Eric Smith and his team at Siro Smith Dickson would give us our best chance at a positive outcome. The team at Siro Smith Dickson changed my life during that time, as they helped me to understand the law and my right to use it.

Their initial assessment of my case, timing, and subsequent legal strategy were proven to be spot-on as they kept me focused and off of the emotional aspects of my situation while pointing me towards the potential positive outcome. Their diligence and competence during the discovery and deposition phases were hugely effective, all while representing me in a very professional manner.

Throughout the process, they kept me updated and informed, always available to answer my questions and concerns. Aside from the large monetary settlement they secured, Siro Smith Dickson gave me back my dignity, peace of mind, and the confidence in myself to move forward in my life and career. The time spent working as partners with the firm proved to be enjoyable, rewarding, and tremendously successful. I consider myself truly blessed to have been represented by lawyers using their talents and passion to right the wrongs of my case, for which I am eternally grateful.”

Thank you again for listening and believing in me.”

“I’ve worked for nearly three years with Athena, Ryan, and the team at Siro Smith Dickson on my employment case. From the moment I met her, Athena was supportive in helping me navigate through the complexity of legal issues surrounding my case, including representing me during my filing for unemployment, the subsequent appeal from my former employer, and defending me when my employer filed an additional retaliatory claim.

Athena and her team were always available to answer any questions I had (there were many!) and to help me prepare for my Federal jury trial.
