MKO EMPLOYMENT NEWS AND CONTENT STATEMENT: MKO often publishes content about our cases, their coverage in the media, and other information related to our state and federal employment litigation for employees. First, we believe this content is helpful to the public and is key as it allows people to better understand their employment rights and protect them if necessary. Second, we believe that media coverage enhances the rights of all employees by spreading the stories and knowledge of what happened to others. Third, publication of the details of filed litigation empowers that single person to publicly stand up and assert their voice and opinion loudly and with vigor, even if the company is expected to dispute it. Fourth, publications by MKO are already publicly available, such as on a docket or reported by other media, and content is universally considered protected speech.

Client Stories, Statements, Testimonials, and Reviews – Disclaimer and Waiver: It is important to understand that “Client Stories, Statements, Testimonials, and Reviews” (including potentially by peers, members of the public, and other non-clients who have simply had a consultation), commonly known colloquially as “client reviews”, are subjective and may not accurately reflect your own experience with the law firm. MKO cannot guarantee the accuracy or reliability of client reviews, as they are provided by third parties and may be influenced by various factors, such as the reviewer’s personal biases or motivations. Additionally, statements may not be reflective of the MKO’s entire client base, as not all clients may choose to leave reviews, and those who do may have unique circumstances or experiences. Furthermore, they should not be considered legal advice and should not be relied upon as a substitute for seeking legal advice from a licensed attorney. Moreover, the MKO is not responsible for any actions taken or not taken based on client reviews. MKO is not liable for any loss, damage, or injury arising out of or in connection with the use of client reviews, including but not limited to, reliance on the accuracy, completeness, or usefulness of any information contained in the reviews. MKO reserves the right to moderate, edit, or remove client reviews at its sole discretion. MKO does not endorse or verify any of the content contained in client reviews, and the opinions expressed therein are solely those of the individual reviewers. By accessing and using client reviews of MKO, you agree to indemnify and hold the MKO Employment Law LLC, its attorneys, employees, affiliates, and agents harmless from any claims, damages, or liabilities arising out of or in connection with your use of any client or non-client statements, stories, testimonials, or reviews. These client, peer, members of the public, or non-client statements, stories, testimonials, or reviews can be a useful tool in evaluating law firms, but they should be used with caution and should not be relied upon as a substitute for seeking legal advice from a licensed attorney.

Relying exclusively or in large part on clients, peers, members of the public, or other non-client statements, stories, testimonials, or reviews and overlooking the critical importance of engaging with a knowledgeable, skilled attorney for personalized guidance tailored to your specific legal circumstances demonstrates a misguided, impractical, and potentially detrimental approach to addressing your legal needs. MKO is not responsible for any actions taken or not taken based on client reviews, and the law firm cannot guarantee the accuracy or reliability of such reviews. By accessing and using client reviews of the law firm, you acknowledge and agree to all of the Terms provided by MKO Employment Law LLC.
