I needed answer to a legal question quickly. I called 6 law firms and none of them answered my question. Elite Employment Law APC handled it immediately and effectively. Would recommend to anyone looking for employment law advice.

I had a pleasant consultation with Mr Samuel Nielson, who explained my current position and possible outcomes in a succinct and straightforward manner. Unlike other law firms who utilize paralegals for interviews to gather the information Mr Nielson utilises modern tech for an intake interview. I promptly filled out questionnaire with responses from my Notebook LM and files I collected for my case. The streamlined approach allows him to personally interview potential plaintiffs and clarify any ambiguity. After my brief and productive consultation I will recommend his services to all my colleagues and acquaintances. Elite Employment Law is the place to get your answered and bring clarity during the uncertain and emotionally challenging period in your life. Best,

Response from owner

I had the pleasure of working with Samuel Nielson at Elite Employment Law, and I couldn’t be more impressed. Sam took the time to thoroughly understand my situation, really listened, and created a clear action plan from the start. Throughout a long, drawn-out process, he provided excellent service, stayed on top of every detail, kept me patient, and always followed up. I’m very pleased with the outcome. Sam did a great job with my case, and I’m very satisfied with the result. I would absolutely recommend Samuel Nielsen and Elite Employment Law to any of my friends and colleagues. Five stars.

When seeking representation, I learned that many employment law firms are only interested in certain key words and quick-pay paperwork cases. Samuel and his team at Elite Employment listened to the nuances of my situation and collaborated with me on the best approach, negotiating a result in which everyone was comfortable. I'm lucky to have been referred to Elite, and I'm glad to continue to recommend them!

Hello, my name is Peter. I would like to express my deepest gratitude for Mr. Samuel Nielson's help with my case. I was very hesitant to seek the help of any attorney. However, I took a chance and reached out to Mr. Nielson. I cannot say enough how lucky and grateful I was in taking that chance. All I can say is that Mr. Nielson went above and beyond in helping me with my case. He did an absolutely amazing job in pursuing claims for unpaid overtime. I'm extremely pleased with the result.” Thank you, sir.

WOW—working with Sam Nielson at Elite Employment Law was an absolute game‑changer! From our very first conversation he radiated confidence, expertise, and genuine care for my situation (a retaliation + overtime dispute). Sam mapped out a strategy that felt both razor‑sharp and totally achievable, then kept executing on every promise—prompt calls, crystal‑clear explanations, and fierce advocacy in negotiations. The end result? I’m thrilled with the outcome. Beyond the legal victory, Sam turned a stressful chapter into a master class in professionalism and empathy. If you need an employment attorney who’s equal parts brilliant tactician and supportive partner, RUN—don’t walk—to Sam. I’d hire him again in a heartbeat and have already recommended him to family & friends.

Response from owner

Thanks for this great review Jonn! We are so glad to have been able to help and that you are pleased with the result!

Sam and the entire team at Elite Employment Law are fantastic. I recently had a need for guidance and support in an employment-related case and spoke with several different firms and attorneys before deciding to work with Sam. His firm has a great set of support staff to help with intake and onboarding, making the process very smooth. For Sam's part, he maintained active communication as the case progressed, and promptly replied to all my questions throughout. If you're in need of an Employment Lawyer, I highly encourage you to at least speak with the team at Elite Employment Law and see what they can do to help you!

Response from owner

Thanks for your thoughtful review and the opportunity we had to help! We recognize that there are many options out there, so we are grateful that you trusted Sam and our firm with your employment law matter. Thank you again Zach!

Sam Nielson handled my wrongful termination and defamation claims with a skill and expertise that went beyond just the basics of law. He was excellent at coaching me through the process and managing my expectations every step of the way. None of this was fun, but I am very glad Sam was there to be my guide.

Response from owner

Thank you for this great review Bill! We are so grateful for your trust in our firm. We are always here to help even after the case has been closed. Thank you again!

I write this with sincere gratitude to the Attorney (Sam Neilson) at ELITE Employment Law. Sam is the real deal with compassion and concern for his client(s). Sam represented my case and successfully made it clear to the party (Company) whom I sought legal representation against that they would not get away with Defamation of Character and Wrongful Termination. The matter is now resolved and the company paid for their actions. I highly recommend Attorney Sam Neilson and his Law Firm to anyone seeking justice and positive resolution against an unethical employer. YES I am a Real Person = D.G. Wells-Souter 1.13.2025
