I had the privilege of working with Cecilia Brennan during a complex and high-stakes employment matter, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. From the very beginning, Cecilia demonstrated exceptional judgment, clarity, and professionalism. She has a rare ability to quickly understand nuanced situations and provide guidance that is both strategic and deeply grounded in experience.
Cecilia is measured, responsive, and deeply respectful of confidentiality. She was mindful of both immediate decisions and long-term implications, and her integrity was evident at every step. She also connected me with the right legal resources when additional expertise was needed, which spoke volumes about her professionalism and judgment.
I would highly recommend Cecilia and HKM Employment Attorneys to anyone seeking experienced, ethical, and trustworthy employment counsel.

We appreciate your trust in HKM Employment Attorneys, and we’re grateful for your recommendation. Wishing you all the best as you move forward.
Very rude and unprofessional. Did not listen to anything I said. Did not keep me updated. Did not explain anything to me. Took liberties with my case. Misrepresented me and made the problem worse. Assumed I did not know any better. Referred me to an attorney she knew. Sent me lackadaisical emails in which she did not take my case seriously. Left a threatening message on my voicemail when I did not like the attorney she never should have referred me to. And I have serious doubts she even bothered to work on my case. I never should have trusted her.

For most of us, seeking legal counsel can be an intimidating process. HKM SD was not the first firm I spoke with, but I was extremely fortunate to ultimately find them. Working with Cecilia Brennan and Gloria Casillas felt like having a team on my side who practice law for all the right reasons and truly cared about me. I found them professional, thorough, and surprisingly accessible/available. I cannot say enough positive things and will be forever grateful for their help.

Having to deal with workplace discrimination is an overwhelming and indescribable feeling. Cecilia Brennan, Esq., and her team, demonstrated exceptional professionalism and (I cannot stress enough) EMPATHY during a year long process. I felt supported and HEARD. Cecilia and the HKM team tirelessly fought for my rights and exceeded my expectations. They kept me informed and reassured. On day one, during my consultation, Cecilia and her team exhibited a deep understanding of the law and an unwavering commitment to my case. Their expertise was evident throughout the entire process. I highly recommend Cecilia and HKM for anyone facing similar legal challenges. Their dedication, knowledge, and compassion for their clients is top tier. I cannot thank them enough for standing by me during a very challenging time.
