Thank you for contacting Bryan Schwartz Law regarding your employment matter. We have reviewed the information you provided during our intake process. Unfortunately, we are not in a position to represent you in this matter. I am very sorry to hear about the difficulties you’ve experienced, and I wish you the best of luck.
Please note that our decision not to represent you at this time is based on various considerations related to our practice -- including but not limited to our current caseload, existing deadlines, and attorney availability -- and should not be interpreted as expressing any view of the merits of your potential claims.
Owner response
Joshua, we’re sorry that you were upset that we could not take your case, even though we referred you to some additional resources. As a small firm, we cannot undertake representation for everyone who inquires, but we do try to respond promptly and in a helpful way. We believe we did so in this instance, where we responded to you on a Tuesday after your Friday inquiry and provided referrals. We also note that it seems you have posted similar reviews on other unrelated businesses as well. In any event, we wish you the very best going forward.
Working with Bryan Schwartz Law was a great experience! Everyone involved was respectful, helpful, and clearly cared about us. They were always quick to reply to emails and answered every question I had.
Owner response
Thank you so much, Jenny, for your kind words and thoughtful review! We’re thrilled to hear that you had a great experience with our San Francisco Bay Area legal team and that you felt respected, supported, and cared for throughout the process. Prompt communication and answering all of your questions are priorities for us, and we're so glad we could meet your expectations. We always admire you and our other clients for having the courage to stand up and confront an injustice when you experienced it, and we are proud to have helped you obtain a measure of justice in your case.
Outstanding! I received excellent representation and support from Bryan Schwartz Law firm. My attorney, Samuel Goldsmith, has such a wonderful, comforting manner, while remaining firm and committed to the issue at hand. Everything from intake to resolution was handled very professionally!
If you're facing harassment and/or discrimination on your job, I'd advise to not go it alone, especially if dealing with the Federal Government. This is difficult & tricky to navigate. You are best off getting independent, outside legal counsel that has specialized experience bringing cases against them. Intimidating as it may be, experience and knowledge does help. It also allows you to concentrate on taking care of yourself as you endure this emotionally, mentally challenging task. Let Bryan Schwartz Law handle the legal aspects of the issue; it really took a load off me and I highly recommend utilizing their expertise.
Owner response
Thank you, Deborah, for your thoughtful review. We’re so glad our Bay Area discrimination team could support you during such a challenging time. Your trust and kind words mean so much to us. It’s rewarding to know we could help ease the burden and allow you to focus on your recovery. Thank you for sharing your experience and recommending our firm! So many federal employees are suffering now, and Bryan Schwartz Law is here to help.
Bryan Schwartz is a top-notch lawyer who is truly a master at his craft! I highly recommend him, and his professional team, to anyone in need of an experienced civil rights employment lawyer. Bryan was nothing short of remarkable, a true shark, fiercely defending my interest and skillfully navigating the complex legal process. Bryan and his team exhibited an unparalleled level of expertise and kept me abreast of details that may have been overlooked by others. Thank you, Bryan Schwartz, for your dedication, specialization, excellent communication and passion for the fight for justice.
Owner response

Worked with them for over four months on my case, but in one email they decided it wasn't a good business decision to continue. That is despite giving them everything they asked for. It was many hours upon hours of work on my end, just for it to be over in a quick email with no explanation as to why. I would not recommend this firm, and advise you work with someone else who cares about their clients.
Owner response
We are sorry to learn that your experience with our firm was not positive. To perform a thorough review of each potential client's case, we sometimes ask potential clients to request their personnel files from their employers. After such files are received, as long as a month after a potential client requests them, those documents and any others take time to review throughly.<br><br>We are mindful of our potential clients' time and do not wish to suggest that we will take a case simply because we ask follow up questions.<br><br>Unfortunately, we are not able to address particular questions about the merits of our potential clients’ cases – we provide legal advice once we are retained as a firm. We try to provide resources to assist anyone who contacts us in finding another firm who can assist them, as well as resources that will assist them in understanding their potential claims.<br><br>We wish you the best of luck.
If you’re reading this, you’re probably not in a very happy place. Read on and you’ll see why this is probably the pivotal moment where you can take control and change the outcomes.
David Vs. Goliath, yup that was me for sure!
Wondering how I would navigate this legal jungle, definitely!
How can i afford to fight,100%
Bryan Schwartz Law (BSL)
They made it all happen for me.
They have the tenacity and skill to fight with all legal means possible.
They will be your Guardians.
They will guide you and answer any question you may have. Which was a lot. Sorry BSL.
They never lost focus or the will to see justice done.
“They” I’ve used that word a lot, and here’s why.
BSL is more than one person, one office, one group of amazing professionals. “They” are also top people, professionals and specialists that BSL has direct access to that make up a formidable team. YOUR TEAM. They are truly a force to be reckoned with and have a well deserved reputation for seeing justice done.
So when your opposition sees that BSL is representing you you can be assured they are definitely not happy. It means you mean business!
Hopefully that brings a smile to your face.
Would I do anything different? No
I only wish this post had existed prior to my case. It would have saved me a lot of time, energy and sleepless nights.
You are in the right hands.
I wish you all the best.
Owner response

Bryan Schwartz and team are stellar professionals. I worked really closely with Renato Flores. He was patient and showed a lot of care and rigor in explaining the ins and out to me and the practical advice he shared was outstanding. Bryan is well connected and very well respected in the industry and you cannot go wrong working with him and his amazing team!
Owner response
Bonnie, we appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback with us! We are happy to hear that your experience working with Renato Flores and our firm was exceptional. Thank you for your kind words and support of our Bay Area employment law firm.
Exceptional people, powerful advocates, tough negotiators. Bryan Schwartz and senior associate Jane Mackie truly care about fairness and justice. Their hard work, attention to detail, and the time and responsiveness they devoted to all my questions let me know in a hundred ways that they cared about my case. This kind of commitment is a true gift. I am deeply grateful to them and recommend them wholeheartedly to anyone seeking fairness.
Owner response
Kat, thank you for your review! It's wonderful to hear that our team was able to make a difference in your case and provide you with the care and advocacy that you deserved. Our team takes great pride in fighting for fairness and justice and we appreciate your recognition of our passion for workers’ rights. Thank you again for choosing Bryan Schwartz Law, P.C., and for sharing your experience- it is humbling to have had the opportunity to represent someone as wonderful as you!
I cannot say enough GREAT things about Bryan Schwartz Law, P.C. -- and in particular, former paralegal Devin Stuzin. I was recently part of a large class-action settlement -- one the firm tenaciously pursued for a whopping 17 years before getting a record settlement on behalf of us members -- and I was constantly impressed with the professionalism, follow-through, empathy, and all-around exceptional service. These folks are the REAL deal. I wouldn't hesitate to call upon them in the future for any of my legal needs, as I know they'll pursue a case to the ends of the earth if it means justice for their clients. THANK YOU, friends at Bryan Schwartz Law!!
Owner response
Maureen, we sincerely appreciate your kind review. It has been an absolute privilege to stand beside you and fight for justice in your class action case. We are immensely proud to have obtained this settlement, and we are deeply humbled by the trust you have placed in us. We understand that entrusting legal matters to someone for many years is a significant decision and requires great patience, and we are truly grateful that you and the class members persevered until we were able to obtain justice.
I was a member of the Doering Meyer class action lawsuit versus the State Department. Bryan Schwartz is a very tenacious and outstanding attorney. When this law firm first contacted me about the case, I was skeptical about their ability to win a case against the State Department and their army of lawyers or get them to settle. But I'm a believer now.
As a former FSO who was already in the Service before being denied a chance to return based on a disability, my case was different from the others in the Class. But Bryan took the extra time to understand my situation and for that, I am extremely grateful to him and his staff members, particularly Devin.
Bryan got us a very fair settlement! If he's willing to take your case, don't hesitate to work with him. He is a person of great character and integrity and I think he is an excellent attorney.
Owner response
Thank you for your kind words and trust in our firm. We're delighted to hear that you felt well-represented and satisfied with your settlement. Your recognition of Bryan's character and integrity means a lot to us. We strive to make a real difference in our clients' lives, and your feedback affirms our commitment. Thank you once again for choosing us to represent you.<br><br>
A great team, who kept me informed every step of the way along a many year path to winning a successful class action case.
Owner response
We sincerely appreciate you taking the time to share your positive experience with our team. We are thrilled that we were able to succeed with this class action and grateful for the opportunity to work with class members like you!
