        Mr. Wicka is a caring, confident, very knowledgeable attorney and he’s honest. I found that I could trust him. He knows the law. He is precise and laser focused. I will henceforth consult with him on all employment law matters. I don’t believe one will find a better attorney. I highly recommend him.
