“It’s no easy thing to take on the U.S. government in a labor case. It’s a bit akin to slaying dragons, but that’s exactly what Ellen Renaud does: fights for those who otherwise might not stand a chance against Uncle Sam. Not only fights, but wins. In my case, the stress of an unfair dismissal was enough stress in and of itself. Without Ellen’s wise and compassionate counsel, I can’t imagine how I could have taken on my case, much less won it. Add to this her terrific paralegal Emily and you couldn’t have a better combination. Ellen was once my lawyer and did everything possible to win my case. I now consider her a friend for life!”

Samuel Ballard where do I start… without a doubt his faith, determination, work ethic, a Godzilla size sense of humor and steadfast determination were the main reason I was able to see my Federal Sector EEO complaints to a very successful end. I highly recommend Mr. Ballard as he has endless patience, empathy, expertise during an incredible painful, stressful snails pace marathon of the legal system and government procedures. Mr. Ballard always took the time to explain to my husband and myself (sometimes repetitively) all the legal jargon and complex procedures was another plus size Godzilla bonus. My husband (Dave) who is not a people person was beyond prepared by Mr. Ballard for cross examination and at ease during that extremely uncomfortable procedure being questioned by a very young peanut gallery. That painful procedure Mr. Ballard made tolerable, and no one was left scurrying to hide in the closet as we were beyond prepared, right down to what to wear. In short Mr. Ballard if I had to go through these three years of nightmare again, I would defiantely pick you from the get-go because you made Dave and I believe there was a positive outcome and YOU made that happen.

Alan recently represented me on a wrongful termination and discrimination case against a large public tech company. The case involved compensation as well as different classes of vested and unvested equity awarded on a number of different dates with a number of different contracts over the past couple years. I was initially concerned that I might not be able to find a lawyer to handle a case that felt more suited for a Silicon Valley law firm, but any concerns that I had dissipated as soon as I talked with Alan.
Alan came highly recommended (from a corporate lawyer who is often his opposing counsel no less!) and I quickly realized why: Alan was the best of the best. Although I had done my diligence and conducted initial consultations with 4 other firms - all of whom were also highly recommended / ranked - it was clear from the get-go that Alan was in a class of his own. His ability to empathize and listen while also cutting to the chase, distilling the facts and articulating a clear strategy were unparalleled.
Alan immediately understood the nuances of equity grants and stock options, giving me the confidence that he would be able to go up against my employer's external counsel, the largest global employment practice exclusively representing management. And that he did - more than I could have expected.
Although it took a number of months, Alan was always a step ahead, weighing potential scenarios and decisions, proactively preparing documents and materials, and then swiftly taking actions to drive results. There were moments along the way when it felt like we were fighting an uphill battle, but he never stopped representing me with full confidence and conviction, refusing to give up until we reached an outcome that he knew I was happy with. In fact, Alan was able to successfully negotiate a number that was 4x the initial offer and we settled for a figure higher than I had expected.
Lastly, I realize that I still haven't mentioned this to Alan (nor did he ever mention it to me which speaks to the type of lawyer - and person - he is), but Alan frequently wouldn't charge me for menial tasks, check in calls, or email exchanges. There were also a number of instances when Alan joined a call or worked with a partner on something for my case, but he only billed me for the partner's time (at the very least, you'd think that if he didn't double bill me, he'd at least charge me the higher rate, but he never did). Alan knew I was cash-strapped and in a tough spot, so did everything he could to minimize costs wherever he could.
It's clear that Alan puts his cases above any amount of money, meets his clients where they are and sees them as human beings, and always approaches matters professionally, fairly, and with the strong morals that guide his work. I cannot recommend his services enough.

It has been a pleasure and privilege to work with Sam Ballard at Alan Lescht and Associates. From day one, I gained a trusted advocate, ally, and advisor that patiently guided me along a deeply stressful, painful, and anxiety ridden Federal Sector EEO complaint. Sam not only explained all the risks and potential outcomes, but the outcomes that were most likely for my case – all while using plain language that I could follow and understand. His intentionality, inclusive professionalism, and expert knowledge made me feel like I was working with him in person instead of a remote environment. Somehow, Sam turned an extremely stressful ordeal into a somewhat pleasant experience for me. The fact of the matter is that “Sam showed up and showed out for me” by prioritizing my civil rights and creating a process that helped me reach a Settlement with as little pain and stress as possible. I went from a place of hopelessness, oppression, and despair to a place of joy and freedom.
I really appreciated his patience, honesty, and responsiveness; and I can genuinely say that Sam is in this line of work because he is deeply invested in justice and liberation for all.
Choosing this law firm was the BEST decision ever! Sam Ballard, Alan Lescht and Associates are absolutely amazing!!!

I can not say enough about Ellen! What I experienced in my work place was one of the worse things I have ever experienced in my life. Ellen was professional and extremely personable , understanding and caring. She knew when I spoke about events that happened that they triggered me. She was able to help me take things one step at a time. I highly recommend Ellen!

I greatly appreciate what Alan Lescht and Associates have done in regard to my case. While legal issues are emotionally draining, they supported me extremely well and got me the deserved results one is owed. Thankfully that chapter in my life is officially over and it is all due to their hard work.
