Rev. Cory N. November 5, 2023
Won my Employment Law need I am a client of Ms. Quinn, and she won my case in settlement. I met Colleen from a referral of a referral. I was facing a hostile work environment because of my sexual orientation (I'm a gay pastor/Chaplain) at the Veteran Affairs Hospital. I filed a EEOC against the Veteran Affairs and won with Colleen leading the fight. She was costly for me, but was worth the risk. I say that not only in hindsight after winning the settlement, but I say this because I watched her advocate for me, with me, and I felt was with me throughout all of it. In my David and Goliath battle against the Federal Governement, Colleen picked up our little stones of my story and just like the story reveals, we won. I felt confident in her ability to help me navigate this. She also listened, like really listened, to the things that were impacting me and how they were impacting me. Also, Colleen allowed me to participate in my case and help keep my invoices as low as possible, too. I did research, wrote notes, worked on questions, organized my evidence. I was able to do all that while saving funds. I trusted her skill and training to take my non trained collection of things to be that things that she needed and she did so, expertly. On the documents for submission, she did her parts with such skill and precision. When interacting with opposing counsel and the judge, Colleen spoke with confidence and exerpertise. She was cool, calm, and a ninja. But most of all, Colleen believed in me. Being a gay, married, pastor in a christiandom that will constantly reject, including family, Colleen became my family, my believers, my cheer squad, my high five, my hug, and my lawyer. I will always remember Colleen and my heart will forever be grateful for the kindness, advocation, and just good lawyering that helped me win my case. If you are looking for a fantastic lawyer and a kind human, consider hiring Colleen and her team. She is an earth angel, wearing the white hat, and fighting the good fight. Thank you Colleen for being my lawyer. I pray that your work continues to fight the fight that others in my community can't do alone. Thank you for standing with me and so many being othered in all the ways. You are a true hero.
