"Genevieve Jenkins is an incredible and compassionate lawyer who represented me during a particularly rough experience. I was really frightened at the idea of being involved in any sort of legal battle, but Genevieve truly put me at ease and is so excellent at her job that I felt very protected. While I hope to never have to experience anything like that ever again, I would recommend Genevieve to anyone who needs representation regarding workplace or housing issues. She is intelligent, thorough and empathetic - the perfect person to fight for you when you need it! She also made me feel like I wasn't totally crazy or overreacting to what I had experienced, and took everything I had brought to her very seriously. I highly recommend her to anyone who is in need of legal support! Thank you Genevieve! -Phylicia F."
"I met Genevieve about a year ago when I had this issue with my last employer, with no experience I went to about 6 other lawyers before I chose to work with Excelsis law firm. As an engineer I take calculated decisions and Genevieve from all the lawyers I met hands down exceeded all my selection criterias. First thing I noticed how professional Genevieve was in timing and paying attention to details in her office like booking a room, blocking her time for the meeting, you would be surprised what other attorneys are doing in their intake and by the way I'm taking about pretty big firms too. As it was my first time to a lawyer, I had my story in mind and in fact I told it to 5 other lawyers before I finally found Excelsis, Genevieve was thorough enough to take notes and ask many question during and after my intake, she was putting a strategy as we were talking already, I was amazed by how she read between the lines and got me to tell side events that I thought wasn't as important. Bottom line Genevieve is On time Professional Got the knowledge Strategic She won my case which is the end product of all . I would highly recommend this firm for labor law related issues, I'm sure you will win your case. -Sam S."
