Professionalism is the Word
I highly Recommend Gibson & Perkins. I have used their services for approximately 6 years now and been through a few cases together with very positive outcomes. Personally, I have used Paul Fellman and Walter Timby on those occasions. Both, as a team & separately these Attorneys were wonderful to work with and easily accessible to reach if I had any questions. Professionalism is the word that comes to mind to describe the firm, as a whole. Always completely prepared for any surprises that may pop up during a trial. They were well versed on all pertinent info pertaining to each case. As I client, I always felt I was an integral part of the team, not an after-thought, that had to be brought up to speed a half hour before the trial started. I could not recommend this firm and Mr. Fellman and Mr. Timby any higher.Very Satisfied
I hired Paul Fellman after speeking to several different lawyers from different law firms because he was the most sincere. Paul did an excellent job on my landlord tenant issue I had on my rental property. He was there for me from the beginning to the end of the whole ordeal. I was very satisfied and I highly recommend him and his firm.

Question:
Are there issues with terminating a long-term employee if they are not performing their job requirements?
Answer:
If you have long-term employee who is no longer performing the functions of his or her job, you can terminate them. However, you should also be aware that these are fertile grounds for a potential age-based discrimination suit.
Leading up to the decision to terminate, you and your HR department should make sure that you document or provide notice to the employee that the quality of work is falling below what is required. You will also need to give the employee the opportunity to correct those shortcomings. In the absence of the employee correcting their shortcomings, you’ve established the groundwork and the basis for your non-discriminatory decision and you can terminate.
