Jon and Dyland – I am so grateful you made the decision to represent my case. Thank you for the support, professionalism, and for being my advocate through this difficult time.

I sincerely appreciate your diligence, your communication styles, and your professionalism. You salvaged my case, and I in turn recovered some self-esteem. I think that I also learned a few tricks from you, so even the process was a positive experience for me.

I’m not sure I can find enough words to thank you…for Jon Vanderpool…representing my mother…No amount of money would bring back her health, or compensate for the pain and suffering she sustained in her fall(s). Communication with Jon from the very beginning was excellent. He was friendly, polite and always maintained a professional demeanor. He provided regular updates, responded to questions, and explained the process to my mother in a way she could understand. Your office staff and support team were wonderful….and so very valuable to her case. Words that come to mind…are: Kind, caring, considerate, attention to detail, knowledgeable, responsive, problem solver, smart, experienced, and honest…We could not have been happier with how her case was settled. I feel a sense of relief, knowing her future is secure. I will be forever grateful…for the exceptional legal representation.

Ann (Smith) is a true blessing for us (City) workers – I do not think most of us are truly aware of her abilities. Her empathy towards workers cannot be matched by many.

Employment Law
Thank you again for all your help. You’re a lifesaver!
Employment Law
Jon is a realist and will talk things out with you to derive a mutually beneficial resolve. I especially liked that he would explain things to me at my level of understanding, since labor laws can be daunting and confusing, which can cause immense anxiety. I really liked the approach of “Don’t let perfection get in the way of resolution” that he recommended, as there is always going to be give and take. You can count on Jon to make astute points and help analyze down to the lowest levels, and then build up a case and go after the material facts/circumstances. I highly recommend Jon to any employee who is being mistreated in the workplace, especially to those who feel management is intimidating them or trying to “manage them out.”
Employment Law
Just a short note expressing our appreciation for your time, patience, and expertise in working with our daughter and obtaining favorable outcomes for both parties concerned over the past several months.

Ann, yesterday’s decision by the California Supreme Court regarding Prop B was the result of a lot of hard work by several professionals. Those professionals spoke in behalf of current and future employees impacted by this illegally implemented pension reform. We all recognize that no one has been more dedicated and passionate than you and we see you as the driving force behind the legal challenges. We appreciate and respect your hard work. Even though there remains more work to do, yesterday’s decision was pivotal as you move ahead trying to correct a wrong.
On behalf of all retirees, in particular the Retired Fire and Police Association, thank you very much.
Employment Law
Thank you for your encouragement and the integrity of each step we took. It was always for the right reason! This settlement will be a cornerstone that will remind administration and all staff that we need to be treated with dignity and respect for the teaching profession we have dedicated ourselves to. No Norma Rae, but we left our mark! My heartfelt thanks for your commitment to my case.
Personal Injury
I have to say that I work with hundreds of Attorneys, and the passion and dedication that Ann and Kathryn gave to this case was unique and much more rare than it should be in your profession. You both did a great job from the initial investigation to truly understand the nuances of each argument and keep fighting to get the righteous and correct points across to the judge and opposing side. It was a pleasure working with pros that care and do everything they can for their client. Your clients could not have been better represented.

Employment Law
While supposedly a person of words, I find myself void of the ones that might best express the depth of my appreciation to you for your excellence in handling my case. You have, personally, been everything that I could ever have wished for — not only as a counselor, but especially as a person I could trust, whose integrity and compassion was balanced by wisdom and capable articulation. Thank you, Thank you for all that you are, and all that you have done.
