Testimonials

I consulted with Nola on a business matter which I thought should be addressed with my previous employer as a wrongful discharge. I did not realize the full implications of what had happened to me. After thoroughly reviewing my information, Nola advised me that my dismissal was directly connected with my efforts to get the company to discontinue fraudulent Medicare billing.

What would have been a very small five or six figure settlement at best turned out to be a 2.3 million dollar reward for me and a 13 million dollar settlement for the Federal Government.

I cannot thank Nola and her team enough for all the work they did on this case. At times I was discouraged, but they were understanding of my frustration, always treated me in a kind and sensitive manner, arranged meetings around my work schedule and persisted to win a victory for the Federal Government, the taxpayers and myself.

If you are looking for the very best in legal representation do not hesitate to call Nola Cross at Cross Law Firm.

Having worked with Cross Law Firm over 7 years ago, I was pleased with the results they were able to achieve at the time.

Recently, I was again in need of professional assistance, and I did not hesitate to turn to Cross Law Firm. Once again the results were very positive.

Through their professional persistence, Cross Law Firm was successful in achieving all of the goals I had set out to accomplish, including a 75% increase in monetary benefit. Should I need any employment guidance, or representation in the future, Cross Law Film will certainly be the firm I will retain.

Thank you Nola & Team!

Dear Attorney Cross,

I received my copy of the letter your office sent to my employer. There are no words to express my feelings of gratitude. That letter definitely makes our position known without any doubt. I feel so fortunate that you agreed to represent me in this matter.

Thank You,
IT Executive, Milwaukee

Hi Attorney Cross,

I enjoyed our meeting on Friday and I think you are a very professional and impressive attorney.  The trip to Milwaukee is definitely worth it to obtain your services and thanked my friends for recommending you.

I also would like to thank your staff for their directions and kindness while I was there.

Thank you for representing me in the matter of my recently terminated employment. Right from the start, you anticipated and answered my questions even before I asked them. You also addressed related situations that could affect me. I am very impressed with your knowledge of employment law and your skill in negotiations that led to a successful conclusion. I could not have found better representation than you. You're the best!

Attorney Cross,

I received the check from ____ today. Please let me know my outstanding balance and I will send payment immediately. Thanks again for all of your assistance. I am certain I could not have reached such a settlement without your help.

Knowledgeable, strategic and professional.

I am very satisfied with the work your Attorney did with my case. Besides being professional and supportive of me, he emotionally guided me through a terrible time, and I am very satisfied with the resolution of my case.

All of the staff is friendly and courteous, and receptionist Jennifer Speed goes above and beyond the kind of service you normally get from receptionists.

If I need legal work in the future, Ill definitely come back to Cross Law Firm and use your Attorney again.

Dear Attorney Johnson,

There is often a fear in dealing with strangers, especially when those strangers have billable hours - however, I can say with all confidence that having not known you or the firm you represent prior to this case that those fears were quickly allayed after just a couple of conversations.

My case was not one that was going to cause you to become partner as a result of neither the historical precedent this case would set nor the enormous amount of fees that it would demand but I never felt that I or my case was put on the table and forgotten. For this I am grateful. The resolution was more than palatable and my experience with you and the staff at Cross Law Firm was a positive and enjoyable one.

Thank you Larry for your diligent care of my case - thank you for providing me with the voice of reason when emotions may have interfered with good judgment and thank you for helping me obtain something that without your help I would not have obtained.

With Respect and Appreciation,
Tom Pennock, Jr.

Nola met with me for the initial consultation, and we discussed the merits of the case in detail. I appreciate Cross Law Firm's practice which specializes in representing wronged employees, since so many law firms represent employers with deep pockets, and it is difficult to know who to trust when your life is turned upside down. As a Senior Executive with an impeccable record and history of promotions, I was summarily dismissed when I attempted to do what was right along ethical and legal lines. Nola was thorough in gathering relevant details in the case and framing the pertinent legal issues. It was refreshing to have a confidante that understood what I was going through, we worked well together, and as a result of our combined efforts in fighting for what is right, we reached a successful result in mediation without the need to move to trial.

Attorney Cross,

I can't tell you how satisfied I am with your law firm. After trying to enlist the services of two other law firms who would not return my calls, I was thrilled when I got an actual person on the phone the first time I called your office. Then to get a call from you just an hour later knowing that my situation was time-sensitive showed how quickly you made me a priority.

Pursuing a sexual discrimination case was not easy but you made the process as smooth as possible. I never imagined getting a sizeable settlement without having to go to court or having to expose the case to the world.

Thank you for your time, attention and tenacity with my difficult case.

Department Store Buyer, June 2009

Dear Attorney Hitchcock Cross,

After 23 years of teaching in Wisconsin, I found myself faced with a situation I could have never predicted. The school district I was employed by, for whatever reasons, no longer needed my services, but had no reasons to terminate my employment. After three quarters of a school year, many sleepless nights and little support from the teachers union I found Cross Law Firm. I researched many law firms specializing in Labor law and Employee's Rights and was able to narrow my search down to the Cross Law Firm.

I met with Attorney Nola Hitchcock Cross to see if I had a case. I presented my information and Nola explained my options clearly to me and in understandable terms. I retained Attorney Hitchcock Cross that day. When I left the Cross legal building that day, I had a sense of relief that money cannot buy. My time was well spent and I felt a sense of hope for the first time in many months. I also felt like there was someone out there who understood what I was going through and that what was happening to me was just not ethical. I wasn't alone.

During this time the union and school district threw up many road blocks and made communication towards reaching an agreement difficult. This did not discourage Attorney Hitchcock Cross whatsoever.

Nola conducted some difficult conversations in order to reach an agreement with my best interest in mind. She negotiated and pointed out necessary changes to terminology in a written agreement on my behalf. During this entire ordeal with the school district, I knew Attorney Hitchcock Cross had my back.

By working with Attorney Hitchcock Cross during this difficult, life changing experience, I had the peace of mind and the support I needed for a clear vision of my future.

Thank you,

The attorney with Cross Law Firm helped me in many more ways than I could describe regarding the sexual harassment I suffered on the job. He listened to me and he really cared about not only the case, but how I felt and ways that we could make getting through the case easier on me. Through-out my entire case the CLF attorney was very supportive and if I had any questions, I could count on an honest and timely answer. If you are going through a hard time, and you feel like you need expert advice, but on a human level- then I would recommend Cross Law Firm to anybody.

Receptionist, 2009 settlement

"I never thought in 100 years that I would ever have to hire an attorney regarding an employment situation. I found myself in a situation and I contacted Cross Law Firm. Nola sat down with me and listened to my situation. Through her guidance we were able to determine that I was correct in contacting her, and that I did have a case. Nolas expertise and persistence in dealing with the situation allowed me to resolve the situation and obtain a desired outcome. I would not hesitate to recommend Cross Law Firm for any employment related issues.

Sincerely,
Janet Mitchell, 2010"

"A colleague referred me to Cross Law Firm after finding out about my employment situation. Her mother had a similar discrimination claim that Cross Law Firm resolved years earlier.

From my first meeting with Attorney Larry Johnson, I was impressed by his concern and his complete understanding of my circumstances. He was competent, thorough and kept me well informed throughout the process.

My claim was settled out of court and I received back pay and a salary adjustment. However, the most significant outcome of my settlement was that my pension calculation was modified, resulting in a substantial monthly increase. I’ll forever be grateful to Attorney Johnson and Cross Law Firm.

Denise – Milwaukee 2010"

"Noah, thank you so much for your time on the phone [for our initial scheduled consultation].

The value of the information you provided me about open records law and other issues regarding my case far, far exceeded the [fee charged].

You represented yourself and CLF extremely well.
Regards,
John 2010"

Attorney Cross and Attorney Kloth:

I do not know how to thank you enough on helping me maintain my employment with my present employer. You helped my employer understand my condition of depression and getting accommodations at my place of employment. Both of you were very understanding and supportive through my struggles at work and at home, when nobody else would. I do not know where I would be if it was not for Cross Law Firms help and expertise after being terminated by my employer.

I can proudly state that I maintaining at work and on the road of recovery for my condition. It is nice to know that there are real people out in world that really care for you and your rights as a person and employee. I would recommend Cross Law Firms to anyone.

Thank you once again, because it is nice to smile again.

Maintenance Manager 2010  

I am writing to thank Noah Reinstein for his professionalism and knowledge during a challenging time in my life. I didn't realize an attorney even existed who knew so much about employment law, but Mr. Reinstein took a look at some of the strangest letters I received from third party and even fourth party representatives of my previous employer and he knew exactly who they were and what the situation was. I never had to follow up with Mr. Reinstein or hold his hand. All I had to do was show up and my situation was handled - case closed. My outcome could not have been better and I recommend Cross Law Firm to anyone, regardless of their issues. They have attorneys for just about any situation and I have come to know the staff well.

Sincerely,
Lisa M. 2010

I am impressed with the professionalism I encountered at Cross Law Firm. The staff is extremely friendly and knowledgeable, and I felt my claim was in good hands. When I was referred to Cross Law Firm, I did not know what to expect with the cost, but I was surprised at how reasonable the fees were. I was also impressed that my e-mails and phone calls were returned in a timely manner. I feel happy with the outcome of my case, and I will definitely recommend Cross Law Firm to friends and family that have a need for representation in employment and business matters.

Natalie K 2010

My experience with Cross Law Firm was very satisfactory. I was in a dispute with a company that had many Hispanic employees and Cross Law Firm always had someone available that spoke Spanish to communicate with some of the witnesses.

Because of the distance of where I lived from their offices, everything was handled over the phone and through the mail. Cross Law Firm made everything very easy to understand and helped me settle my claim out of court. I recommend their services to anyone who has a dispute with an employer

Alisha 2010 Wausau

Attorney Johnson,

I thank you for all your hard work and professionalism. I came to your firm for help with a discrimination case and it turned into more than I ever realized. I felt you went above and beyond the call of duty to represent me. I commend you on your professionalism, honesty and overall hard work you placed on my specific case. I am deeply grateful for everything you’ve done to help me, not only on my original case, but with future dealings with the same employer. I thank you again for everything you’ve done for me and continue to do today!

Dear Bryn,

I want to thank you so much for representing me in my unemployment case. I am very grateful for your hard work and dedication.

My only regret is that I did not consult with you BEFORE the first hearing…thank goodness you believed in me and you turned it around…

I haven’t ever experienced anything like this ever, so when it came time to look for an attorney, your firm was very highly recommended to me by and old friend of my mother’s. Well of course, he does not handle cases such as mine…but he advised me to call Cross Law Firm…he said your firm was the best to call…that was very good advice indeed!

I would not hesitate to call Cross Law Firm if ever I needed any future legal needs…I also will refer your firm if ever I get the chance…

Thank you!

Christopher,

My family & I are very grateful for all the assistance we received on my sexual harassment case. Your knowledge of the law & persistence to get me the best settlement went above and beyond anything we could have expected. Not only did you encourage me to stay strong, you also made me feel important & relevant. Your words always made me feel like I had made the right decision. I will highly recommend you & Cross Law Firm to anyone that needs employment legal counsel.

Thank you,

Julie – settlement 2010

Nola-

I am so proud of your fine work. Your work on my case has been nothing less then lifesaving at a time in my life when I lost my Mother, my best friend. And, at a time in my life when I lost my job at the VA...a job that meant the world to me.

You stood by my side when I was difficult to deal with...for that, I consider you the finest and most experienced attorney on the face of the earth.

Thank you Nola, from the bottom of my heart. I'm so happy we have settled.

God Bless.
