I was in the middle of a layoff when, at 7 p.m. on a Friday, my employer handed me a letter accusing me of breaking company policy and told me to sign it by end of day Monday. It wasn’t accurate, and I couldn’t sign it as written without putting myself at risk. I knew I needed a lawyer, but I’d never found one, and now the clock was running.
I called more than 15 lawyers, left voicemails, and fought through intake forms. Most said they’d get back to me in 24 to 48 hours. I didn’t have 24 to 48 hours.
Then I found Jasmin. I booked a same-day appointment, uploaded my documents in minutes, and finally exhaled. She knows what it’s like to stand against an employer, and she knows Georgia employment law inside and out. If you’ve been there, you know how lonely and scary it is, and how stacked the deck feels. Jasmin gets it.
She listened. She didn’t push me into a fight I didn’t want. I just wanted a clean break and the severance I’d been offered, and she respected that. She gave me honest advice, helped me rewrite my response letter, and told me that if they tried to deny me anything, we’d go after them. That’s what let me sleep at night.
Warm, easy to reach, and fully in my corner. She made my situation feel like something we could stand up to, together. My only regret is not calling her sooner. Thank you, Jasmin!
