Jim Wu is a consummate professional and I had an excellent experience working with him to settle my employment dispute. Before Jim, I sought out other legal counsel. None of them felt that I had a case since the law was not clearly defined. Jim met with me over tea and after talking with me, he felt that I did indeed have a case. I was a first-time client with a lot of questions; Jim was a knowledgeable and experienced lawyer who answered all of my questions and was happy to explain every step of the process. Most importantly, Jim broke down every legal term so that I would understand exactly what we were doing. He is a skilled negotiator who knew which provisions to include for my benefit. Jim is smart, efficient, pleasant, and very experienced: all the qualities that you want in a lawyer. I highly recommend him.

When I found myself facing loss of my employment, I researched employment law firms and felt completely comfortable from the onset with my interactions at Forte Law. Sara thoroughly explained my options and offered practical solutions though-out the process. I am very grateful for Sara’s guidance and negotiations skills. I highly recommend this firm to resolve employment legal issues.

Pamela Constanzo, a lawyer at Forte Group, was helpful regarding a legal matter. She was knowledgeable, efficient and cheerful. It was an area outside of my experience. She patiently explained terms and helped me understand risk. The legal advice was well worth the cost. I highly recommend Pamela

Our company was winding down. I had worked in the office for over 35 years but had no clue about what my Severance could, or rather should be as there was such diverse scenarios when I asked friends for advice or, like most people would do, when I searched online. It was confusing. Could not ask for guidance from our corporate law firm as it would be a conflict of interest on their part. They did, however, refer me to Sara Forte and her firm. I sent her an email explaining my situation and was pleasantly amazed at how quickly she responded to me.

From that initial reply, to telephone conversation, to setting up a meeting with her associate (Pamela Costanzo), Sara made me feel very at ease. As soon as I walked into their office, I felt welcomed. My session with Pam was tremendously informative and encouraging. After a brief introduction, what she said next absolutely made me feel that I had made the right decision to seek help from this firm. She said, "I am Not going to let you leave this office until you feel confident in how to approach your Severance with the company." She had done her research prior to our appointment and showed me the closest scenario to my situation. She could find no exact match given all my criteria but she gave me advice on how to talk to the company reps during my meeting with them to discuss figures, showing them back-up information, and specifically to do so as amicably as possible. And, I'd like to note, that at no time (with Pam or Sara) was I intimidated by "legal speak" that many lawyers I've encountered in business tend to use often with an air of superiority. Everything was explained in easily understandable terminology and I felt I was treated as an Equal, not as an inferior.

I took Pam's advice, politely let the reps know I had sought legal consultation, and with the confidence she instilled in me, the company meeting went well. A figure was agreed upon and I can say without a doubt, I could not have done this without Pam's (and Sara's) help. I have no hesitation in recommending this firm to anyone in need of employment legal counsel. Top Notch!

I met with Jim Wu for legal advice and to develop an action plan to resolve terms of an employment contract. Jim was patient, and a great listener, offering up advice and pointing out both sides of every option. Jim was essential in helping sort through thought processes as well as legal wordings. Jim not only performed the actions expected of good legal counsel, but also provided the 'sanity check' required for me to take appropriate action. My thanks to Jim for helping bring closure and the best possible outcome given the situation. Well done Jim, and best wishes.

You eventually need a lawyer and I needed an employment one. They were well organized and the location was convenient to get to from North Surrey. The service was exactly what I needed and would recommend them to friends and family.

Sara is a terrific lawyer that has been so valuable to me! Whether reviewing contracts before signing or handling unexpected challenges as they arise - Sara has always been professional, supportive, and timely. When you're looking for someone you can trust in these important moments - I'm so grateful that I can count on Sara!

Sara was VERY helpful in advising me on what to do and how to do it with the organization I left. Great lawyer if you need employee or employer advise. Thanks Sara!

I have worked with Sara on the employee side in a couple of instances. Both instances I have found Sara to be quick to respond and provide practical and knowledgeable insight in balancing both the legal and cultural aspects of the situation.
