Overview
Content is provided by the firm.
Buchanan Angeli Altschul & Sullivan LLP provides employment dispute services and employment law counsel to employers and individuals.
Whether we’re litigating an employment case, counseling a client on compliance with the law, or mediating an employment law dispute, we maintain a firm commitment to excellence, efficiency, responsiveness, and collaboration. Because we are not constrained by the substantial overhead costs of large law firms, we offer lower hourly rates, and we have the freedom to offer fixed-fee arrangements for virtually all of our services, including monthly rates for unlimited telephone advice on employment law issues, and flat fees for each stage of the litigation process. We staff our cases with seasoned lawyers who have extensive experience and employment law expertise, rather than training new lawyers at our clients’ expense.
Unlike many labor and employment law firms, Buchanan Angeli Altschul & Sullivan LLP does not represent exclusively management or exclusively individuals. Rather, we advocate vigorously on behalf of both our business and individual clients for accountability and fairness. In almost every employment dispute, we believe that the party that can most convincingly demonstrate their commitment to those basic principles is the party that is the most likely to prevail. We also believe that our familiarity with both sides of employment disputes makes us stronger and more informed advocates for all of our clients.

Employment Law - Management
Buchanan Angeli Altschul & Sullivan has amazingly experienced and strategic attorneys who are incredibly responsive, practical actionable guidance and always client-focused. They have big / national firm caliber of substantive skill with small firm attention to detail and client support. I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone and find their assistance invaluable, whether it is legal counsel on all types of labor and employment issues or representation in litigation.

My lawyer Courtney Angeli and her associate attorney Lucy Ohlsen were amazing in their representation of my employment case. They were attentive to my needs, timely in answering my questions, and provided appropriate guidance and representation throughout this process. I would highly recommend them to my family, friends, and associates for any employment related issues.
Carol Salter
Employment Law - Individuals
Dana Sullivan and her team, from Buchanan Angeli Altschul & Sullivan, worked diligently, equitably, and with the utmost professionalism while representing me in a wrongful termination and retaliation claim against my former employer. She provided prompt communication through multiple channels, and I always felt that she really listened to my concerns with genuine consideration.
When dealing with the opposing attorney who lacked tact and acumen, Dana would respond with a civil sophistication that spoke to her dignity and status as a respected attorney in her field. I was especially pleased that Dana had powerful resources and dedicated people within her reach to provide support and perspective to my case.
I feel vindicated and ready for the next chapter in my career due to Dana's perseverance and patience. She never let me forget that I was in the driver's seat and held the power to move ahead in any direction I chose.
