I cannot say enough about HKM employment attorneys. I had a very rough experience with a former employer and HKM took such great care of me! John and his team would get 10 ⭐️s from me if possible! Thank you again for the A+ service! 💙Kaitlin J

Was referred to Brad Thoenen a few years back and have worked with him on a couple of employment related issues. Brad manages to mix frankness with assured compassion. He has a wide understanding of employment issues as well as experience in the AI world we are headed into. I would never hesitate to refer Brad to my closest family and friends.

Response from owner

We really appreciate you sharing this, Douglas! Brad’s ability to balance straightforward advice with genuine care is something we value highly, and we’re thrilled it’s had such a positive impact on your cases. Your trust and referrals are the highest compliments we could receive. Thank you for choosing HKM Employment Attorneys!

I called to talk to an attorney and got their secretary and I am not sure what she was doing but she was doing a lot of banging and making a lot of noise and told me to fill out an form and one of the attorneys will call me back and I don't have time to waste and play the waiting game so I said nevermind and hung up. I need someone who is available now to talk not fill out a form for the waiting game. I'movimg on.

I had an excellent experience working with Brad Thoenen at HKM Employment Attorneys. He was extremely professional, knowledgeable, and responsive throughout the entire process. He genuinely cared, took the time to listen to my concerns, explain all my options clearly, and made sure I felt supported every step of the way. His expertise and attention to detail gave me confidence as I navigated a stressful and challenging situation. I can’t recommend him enough for anyone seeking an employment attorney.

I reached out. Less than 24 hours later they reached out and told me they wouldn't take my case. This was without reviewing the information I wanted to share with attorney. Im black and this is the Midwest. Look somewhere else if you are a person of color they are not interested in going up against their white counterparts. UPDATE 9/17/25 I was referred to HKM by another attorney for a second round. The experience was more thoroughly completed. This time, things were explained to me. Increased to 3 stars.

Working with Brad Thoenen and HKM Employment Attorneys was an incredible experience. I came to him during a complicated and high-stakes moment in my professional life, and his calm, clear guidance made all the difference. He was thoughtful, strategic, and generous with his time—walking me through options, helping me weigh decisions, and offering exactly the kind of support I needed. Most of all, I appreciated his integrity. He genuinely cared about helping me move forward with clarity and confidence. If you’re navigating a challenging situation and want someone who combines legal knowledge with compassion and pragmatism, I can’t recommend him highly enough

I can’t thank my attorneys enough for their dedication, professionalism, and compassion throughout my job discrimination case. From the very first consultation, they listened carefully to my story, believed in me, and made sure I felt supported every step of the way. Their deep knowledge of employment law, attention to detail, and strategic approach gave me confidence and peace of mind during a very stressful time. They kept me informed, explained everything clearly, and fought hard to make sure my voice was heard and my rights were protected. Thanks to their hard work and perseverance, we reached a resolution that brought me both justice and closure. If you’re facing workplace discrimination, I highly recommend this team — they truly care about their clients and will stand by you every step of the way.

Response from owner

Thank you so much for your heartfelt feedback, Leanne! We’re honored to have had the opportunity to stand by you during such a challenging experience. Knowing that you felt heard, supported, and empowered throughout your case means everything to us. We appreciate your trust and kind words, and wish you all the best as you move forward.
