Expertise, Passion, and Compassion
Unlike most firms, Mize PC represents both individuals and companies in matters concerning employment law. This gives us a valuable and strategic perspective that allows us to anticipate what others can’t.
Beyond our expertise, we also have compassion. We understand that everyone has had both good and bad experiences in the workplace. Resolving issues to your satisfaction is what gets us up in the morning.
