Testimonials

I have served as a federal law enforcement official for 20 years. At the risk of sounding arrogant, I was an excellent employee; receiving numerous awards, letters of recognition and other accolades, which propelled my career. In one day, I found myself at the receiving end of a vicious and slanderous campaign with the full support of a misguided federal agency. The pressure and stress were immense and ultimately contributed to my wife’s passing. I am not one to surrender and simply refused to kneel. But this fight was simply beyond me. Naturally, I struggled to find attorneys that were driven, intelligent and willing to stand strong. Enter Kristin Alden. First, she listened and measured. But with every injustice her eyes flared slightly but still did not commit. She took a day to process and provided an honest and direct assessment. Kristin stated it plainly, there are several factors in any case but two that were key in this case are: 1) Was I wronged, which was a resounding Yes! 2) Can we win and get adequate relief/compensation. This was a different answer. This would be a long and arduous battle. Kristin measured the case and then measured me. I am extremely thankful she accepted me as a client. Soon after, Kristin assembled a team to champion my case. Dominick Schumacher Esq., who is meticulous, thorough and composed, balanced out with James (Jim) Eisenmann Esq., who is accomplished, incredibly knowledgeable and cunning. The group took the whole case with the clear understanding of the client they are championing. They behaved as legal consul and personal advisor because they have the depth of understanding that cases like these are all ultimately about a person or a family standing firm against the government. The Alden Group is the sword and shield. – For more, go here

They also have a birds-eye view on the court system and understand how to navigate small or large nuances that will help you prevail in your case.

I was in the same situation as most of you, confused, anxious, hesitant, upset due to being wronged, and seeking someone to not only hear me out but also provide sound legal advice other than "this is going to be costly". I had already retained counsel from another law firm, which proved to be a mistake and I found myself seeking counsel in the midst of discovery. I had spent 2 years of time, lots of money, and energy to have the ball dropped at such a pivotal point. My case was an official hot mess! The law firm I spoke to after firing my initial attorney only advised me that if I was to proceed, my case would get very expensive, but they were more than happy to represent me. Feeling uneasy and that I wasn't provided any real advice for the consult I paid for, I decided to continue my search and that is when I was referred by a colleague to Kristin Alden and her law firm. Little did I know, that was the game changer for my case. I had a single consultation with Kristin that felt a lot more like a conversation and for the the first time during my matter that I felt some one listened; she was patient, informative, and brilliant with her advice. Why brilliant? Because I followed her advice to the letter and within 3 weeks my case had leapt from Agency counsel saying they would "never" consider settlement to having a settlement offer in my inbox, which Kristin reviewed. Hindsight being 20/20 I probably could have saved myself a lot of time, stress, and energy, if I would have gone with the Alden Law Group from the beginning. Let my mistake be your lesson, go with Kristin and the Alden law group. Additionally, Kristin Alden and her law group have CLOUT. Yes, they have a professional reputation that made the agency counsel change their entire strategy and approach. Kristin and The Alden Law group is the real deal, do yourself a huge favor and make sure to at least pursue the consultation, it is worth every penny and then some. – For more, go here

Alden LG rocks. My Federal employer improperly demoted me. … Alden LG got me restored rank, back pay with interest, and they took care of all the little things around the edges that cropped up. The Agency had to pay the legal bill. There was not one single way for Alden LG to win any more thoroughly--total victory. Can't recommend them enough. Highest possible rating--FIVE STARS! – For more, go here

I hired Jim after a very detailed and thorough consultation, and after having consulted with other attorneys it was clear that Jim had the best level of understanding the nuances of my complex case. As a former political appointee at an old government agency, we are often conditioned that have no rights as we "work at the pleasure of the President". In my case, I was being coerced and forced into quitting my job in retaliation after I raised concerns (both formally and informally) of repeated racial discrimination against myself and other colleagues of my race. Jim asked very detailed questions, meticulously reviewed all information he asked me to provide, spoke with credible witnesses, and worked on my behalf to level ensure I was not left out to dry while also sparing this agency a very public lawsuit. Jim's confidence in my case combined with his professionalism, patience, diligence, compassion, and pragmatism helped me navigate one of the hardest periods of my career and life in general. He was also extremely responsive to all calls, emails, and texts and his team at his law office were very hospitable, kind, patient, understanding, and professional. I could not have asked for a better experience in such a trying time. I'm grateful for his skills and services. – For more, go here

Jim was never formally my attorney, but he did provide me with legal consultation when I had some questions. He was very thoughtful and interested in providing the right guidance. He felt it wasn't necessary for him to be my attorney (I just had some questions), so it was clear he was trying to provide only the most helpful consultation and nothing more. I felt Jim was genuinely looking to help without the unnecessary time, tasks, fees, etc.. I felt I could trust Jim (and I spoke with another attorney whom I did not get that sense from). I would go back to Jim if I ever needed to. – For more, go here

Thank God that I was referred to Alden's law firm. Everyone I encountered there was extremely helpful, scrupulously professional, informative and appropriately empathic. I knew at all times that in no way was my case merely an income stream for the firm. Instead, I knew that my interests were thoroughly protected for the duration. I ended up successfully negotiating my preferred settlement… – For more, go here

Jim was instrumental in sparing my 15 year federal career and restoring me to a senior, supervisory position that I loved and worked hard for, with minimal impact. I was blindsided by devastating allegations that threatened my livelihood. Through trusted referrals, I found Jim. My case was complex due to some very nuanced technical details. Jim clearly had an outstanding acumen to start with, but also obtained, under tight time constraints, the necessary depth in the subject matter surrounding my situation. He was professional, attentive and collaborative. He is easy to be open with, and he effectively championed my case - I think his insights into how to handle a variety of interactions and attack the challenge is also the result of good instincts and that characteristic is not found in any attorney. It’s a gift. Ultimately Jim’s knowledge, thoroughness and strategy resulted in well crafted written and oral rebuttals that got me through my situation. You get what you pay for, and Jim was worth every penny when I had a massive amount on the line. Thinking of my case conjures up a lot of anxiety - it was a very stressful time. A very bright spot in that experience was having Jim on my side to argue my case. I am very grateful I was connected to him and would recommend him to anyone needing counsel, especially for sophisticated cases and those individuals in management with a lot to lose. – For more, go here

Professional, Compassionate, Supportive, and Diligent. I spent three years of my life with the Alden Law Firm. I am forever grateful to Kristin and her associates for returning my honor and dignity. … She and her associates confronted my case with the rigor necessary to combat the accusations. … She also took the time to explain the abundance of motions, cross motions, and legal jargon….Kristen was not only my attorney, but became my support when I wanted to give up. … I whole heartedly recommend Kristin and the Alden Law Firm to anyone who is looking for a professional, knowledgeable, and compassionate attorney. – For more, go here

I received the reference for Attorney Jim Eisenmann following notice that post retirement from federal service I was being investigated. Since I had almost no information or context regarding this investigation there was little information that I could provide during my consult with Jim. Jim skillfully steered me to what I did know or suspected and based on that information he was able to extrapolate possible scenarios. Having no previous experience in matters such as this, Jim took the time to explain the law, outlined in clear language the steps in the process. Identified unknown variables and implications for those. He responded to every email and question quickly and precisely. I feel extremely lucky to have Attorney Eisenmann on my side. – For more, go here

I hired Ross to represent me with my EEO case against the government and he did a great job. Ross is an intelligent, hard-working, honest attorney that always made himself available. During my case, Ross demonstrated that he was concerned about my work life and how things would affect me after the case was complete (besides just a payout) which meant a lot to me. At one point during the case, my Agency's attorney tried to make excuses for their behavior and poke holes in my case, which was pretty infuriating and disrespectful. Ross was professional and he successfully destroyed the other attorney with solid case law and I was proud to have him on my side. In conclusion, I would highly recommend hiring Ross Fishbein if you plan to take on the government. Expect a long upward and unfair fight. I know it can be difficult to know where to turn when you are wronged and you will feel alone. Ross won a settlement with my case and I know he will do his best for you too. – For more, go here
