I had the pleasure of working with Charlie Firth. He was referred to me by a friend who had recently used his services and also had a great experience. I cannot say enough good things about him and my experience working with him. In my first introductory call with Charlie I instantly felt comfortable. Due to COVID and the stay at home order I never had a chance to meet Charlie in person, but this did not impact our working relationships or the job he did for me in anyway. He was incredibly attentive, did a great job keeping me in the loop of the process, he was a great listener when I just needed to vent about the situation, and I appreciated he was always so calm and confident. He really listened to the needs I expressed to him from day one and he never let me down. I highly recommend Charlie Firth should you ever require the type of legal services he offers.

Charlie Firth is an outstanding attorney. He helped me resolve a dispute with my employer. He was always available to talk with me and I really felt he had my best interests at heart. I recommend him without reservation and in the highest possible terms.

I had the opportunity to work with Sheila today & I can not even find the words to express how appreciative and thankful I am not only for her hard work in settling my case but, more importantly for how she made me feel. From the very beginning she told me “today is about you, it’s your day.” I had to hold myself back from getting emotional when she introduced herself and was able to show understanding & empathy by relating to my own situation. This entire process has been a hard exhausting almost 2 years and I was stressing over this day for a very long time .Thank you Sheila for making today possible , it wouldn’t have happened with out you. If I ever need representation in the future (hopefully not !) I wouldn’t go to anyone else she has a heart of gold. -AB

My daughter, son and I have used various lawyers at Engelmeier & Umanah to assist us with our legal needs over the last several decades. The work was excellent on all counts. For example, Sheila Engelmeier, Jamie Flom and Tom Marshall helped my daughter with a disability benefits claim. They were also very helpful with a discrimination claim for a member of my family. Similarly, the firm assisted me with executive compensation issues and employment transition issues. Ivory Umanah helped our family with a number of estate planning and probate dispute issues. We not only received great service, but a lot of compassion. We recommend them to anyone who is looking for great lawyers and people, as well as a place that feels like home.

Timely & Tenacious – yet practical. We have used the lawyers at Engelmeier & Umanah for our human resource legal needs for decades and have always found their work outstanding. We have also used E&U for estate planning guidance and probate disputes involving the family business and have been thoroughly impressed in that area as well. One example typifies E&U’s work. Our company experienced an unusual problem involving a competitor suddenly attacking us in a blitzkrieg style smear campaign. The competitor did everything in its power to ruin our reputation in the market place by casting aspersions on our good name. The competitor even contacted a local newspaper and the BBB making all kinds of unfounded and untrue claims including fraud. The competitor also contacted customers we were doing business with to try frighten them and discredit us. When our phones started ringing off the hook from concerned customers, we turned to Englemeier & Umanah for assistance. Within an hour of contacting E&U, they started gathering all of the relevant facts ASAP. Shortly after our initial contact, an E&U attorney contacted the perpetrators demanding a stop of the attack. Our competitor agreed to suspend its attack. Within days however the competitor attempted to continue the attack covertly so they wouldn’t be liable. Fortunately for us E&U was vigilant and discovered proof of the competitor’s indirect tactics and put an immediate stop to it. Our competitor was so shocked by E&U’s ability to identify what it was doing, it slithered away and we have never heard another peep. We will be forever grateful that we have E&U on our side!
