Damien Villarreal helped me to send the initial emails that got the ball rolling on my wrongful termination case. He was prompt, straightforward, and reassuring with his instructions and follow up. Additionally he's extremely ethical no bullshit nickel and diming. Highly recommend.

I needed to consult an attorney about a severance agreement. I called several “top” firms and encountered useless “AI assistants”—I couldn’t even leave a message! Thank goodness I tried Skidmore & Fomina. I was able to leave voicemail without having to evade a chatbot, and Vera Fomina herself called me back. She quickly, expertly and honestly provided the guidance I needed without charging me. If I was proceeding in this case, I would not hesitate to hire her. Thank you, Vera, for keeping legal assistance human!

I am thankful for this firm specializing in employment law, especially Greg and Jared. They were confident in their knowledge and got me through a complex situation to a happy ending. They are aggressive just enough to stand up for what is right. I was well advised throughout the process and showed empathy for my circumstances. They were available when needed to go over any questions. I highly recommend them for employment issues.

I’m extremely grateful for everything my lawyer did for me. From start to finish, they were honest, responsive, and truly had my best interest at heart. They kept me informed through the entire process and made sure I understood what was happening every step of the way. Because of their hard work and dedication, I was able to win my settlement, and I honestly couldn’t have asked for better representation. If you’re looking for someone who actually cares about your case and will fight for you, I highly recommend them.

I worked with Greg and Mason, and I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better team. From the very first consultation, they made the process feel straightforward and took a lot of the stress off my shoulders. Things moved quickly — from consultation to mediation to resolution — and the outcome was exactly what I was hoping for. What I really appreciated was how thorough they were and how clearly they explained each step. I never felt left in the dark, and they were always quick to respond when I had questions. It’s not often you find lawyers who are not only sharp and efficient but also approachable and easy to talk to. I’m very grateful for their help and highly recommend them to anyone who needs solid representation and a team that actually cares about their clients.

Response from owner

Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re thrilled to hear that your experience with Greg and Mason was positive and that we could make the process smooth and clear. Your recommendation means a lot to us!

Jared did a great job reviewing the documentation and analyzing my employment situation. He was clear in his communication, answered my questions and concerns, and helped me figure out next steps. I would recommend his services. I also appreciated that Jared reached out to me promptly upon the initial inquiry - this was not, unfortunately, the norm, among some other legal professionals I had contacted when looking for help. Jared and Olga acted quickly and professionally, to set up our meeting.

Losing a job is one of the most stressful experiences anyone can go through, but having Skidmore & Fomina by my side made all the difference. From the moment I reached out, their team provided compassionate, knowledgeable, and strategic legal guidance that helped me navigate the complexities of employment law with confidence. A special thank you to Vera Fomina, whose expertise and dedication were truly remarkable. She took the time to understand my situation, explained my rights clearly, and fought tirelessly to ensure I received fair treatment. Her ability to break down legal jargon into practical advice made the entire process much less overwhelming. Thanks to her and the firm’s unwavering support, I was able to move forward with peace of mind. If you're facing employment-related challenges, I highly recommend Skidmore & Fomina. Their professionalism, empathy, and results-driven approach set them apart as one of the best employment law firms in the area.

I learned a lot throughout the process and appreciated how approachable and knowledgeable they were. Most of my communication was with Jared C. Troy , and I want to thank him in particular for his responsiveness and clarity. He made the experience smooth and was always easy to talk to and work with. I highly recommend this firm to anyone looking for dedicated and trustworthy legal support.

I worked with Damien and Jared and they were amazing at helping me deal with an employment matter and achieve a very satisfactory resolution. Not only are they highly competent and well-versed in relevant law and practices, but were very empathetic and informative too, making time to answer all my questions and give my case the attention it needs even though I'm sure they have a lot of other clients . While I hope not to be in a position where I need an employment lawyer again, if I do then I'd be very happy to work with them again.

Response from owner

Thank you for the generous review! We’re so pleased that Damien and Jared were able to guide you through your matter with both skill and care. It’s always our goal to create a space where clients feel supported and understood, and it means a lot to know we achieved that with you. We’re grateful for the opportunity to assist and would be honored to work with you again, should you ever need us in the future.

I had the privilege of getting Damien's counsel recently. Apart from being an amazing attorney w/ deep SME. What sets Damien apart is his philosophy of leading w/ empathy. He deeply listen's, breaks down things in plain English as opposed to legal jargons, and drives solutions based on art of the possible. He is easy to work with, super accessible, and someone who is intentional on solving customer's problems as opposed to timeboxing conversation. Kaushik

Response from owner

Thank you, Kaushik, for your thoughtful words. We're so glad to hear that your experience with Damien reflected the values we hold dear—empathy, clarity, and client-centered problem solving. Damien truly takes pride in making legal guidance accessible and effective. Your feedback means a great deal to us!

I would highly recommend Skidmore & Fomina for any employment case. I had spoken to several law firms before speaking to Greg & Kaitlyn at Skidmore & Fomina. From the first phone call I knew that they truly cared and knew immediately the best path forward for my case. The entire process was handled very professionally, efficiently, and with compassion. This type of situation is stressful for anyone, and their support made all of the difference. I cannot imagine having any other attorneys representing me. I have Skidmore & Fomina to thank for a very favorable outcome!

Response from owner
