I was under a tight deadline to have Marjorie review a severance agreement. Despite having a tight schedule herself, she carved out time to meet with me. She explained every clause of the agreement, making sure I understood it. Where needed, she helped me see what changes I should ask for in the agreement. She also analyzed my possible claims against my former employer and how to use them as leverage to maximize my bargaining position. As a result I was able to negotiate a severance more than double the initial offer from my former employer and obtain some non-monetary relief not originally offered. While I didn't enjoy losing my job, I am glad I had Marjorie's help and support with my exit.
