Championing a Fair, Equitable & Diverse Workplace for All

Championing a Fair, Equitable & Diverse Workplace for All

Employment Law, Legal Services & Training.

Here’s the thing about work: it’s an integral part of our lives. The average person in the U.S. spends a third of their life at work – and when you put in that much time, it’s only right that you feel respected, heard and treated fairly in your place of employment.

But for thousands of individuals, this reality can be hard to come by. 

From being passed over for a promotion despite being the most qualified candidate to being harshly punished for violating the same policy a coworker only received a warning for, many employees regularly experience discrimination and harassment at work.

I’m on a mission to purify workplaces of this toxicity so employees and employers alike can thrive and do what they do best: work that makes the world better.

It’s time for our workplaces to become fair, equitable and diverse environments full of highly qualified individuals from all walks of life.

From legal services for employees who’ve been wronged to proactive training on how organizations can create a more equitable workplace and more, discover how we can partner together to make it all happen:

A VOICE FOR THE WORKING PEOPLE

Hi! I’m Chiquita Hall-Jackson, licensed attorney, adjunct law professor, employment law expert and founder of Hall-Jackson and Associates, PLLC, and there’s nothing I’m more relentless about than giving those who’ve been silenced in the backroom, the boardroom and everywhere in between a voice to be heard.

After facing race and gender bias in my own career, I decided to do something about it. 

Your Champion.
Your Voice.
Your Partner.

It’s my firm belief every workplace should be diverse – where employees feel free and safe enough to be their authentic selves without fear of discrimination or harassment. I’m on a mission to make work more diverse, fair and equitable than it’s ever been. Whether you’re an employee in need of legal services or an employer wanting to create a better workplace environment, I can help.

The Professor

I had the utmost privilege of being in Professor Jackson’s Legal Writing Research & Communication III course. This was a required course for all second year law students. During my time as her student, Professor Hall taught me essentially everything I know about writing an Appellate Brief. It was clear from the first day that she had a passion for educating law students in this field. Thanks to her teaching style and dedication, I was able to earn an A in her course and getting one of the highest grades in her class. I always respect the fact that Professor Hall had her own practice, while still showing up to every single class, teaching with tenacity and enthusiasm. During the semester, she would harp on the fact that it was important to have a great work ethic in this profession. I can remember her quoting almost daily “if you are going to be lazy now, you are going to be lazy as a lawyer.” This is something that will stick with me as I endeavor to become not only an attorney, but an advocate for the people. Thank you, Professor, Hall, and keep up the great work.

The Professor

I had the privilege of being in Professor Jackson’s Legal Writing Research & Communication II course. This was a required course for all second year law students. During my time as her student, Professor Hall dedicated her heart and soul to this course. During the semester, she would frequently check in on all her students to make sure they were excelling not only in the classroom, but outside as well. Thanks to her teaching style, I was able to receive the CALI award for the course. Moreover, I vividly remember her telling me to work hard when prepping for the bar exam & to dedicate at least 8 hours a day. I’m proud to say that I was able to pass the California Bar Exam on my first attempt thanks to her leadership. Further, I kept up with the work Professor Hall was doing as an Attorney. She had her own practice and was making an impact towards the community. No matter how busy she got, she would never forget her duty as an advocate for the people. That’s something that will stick with me as I embark on my journey as an Attorney

The Employment Attorney

Chiquita Jackson-Hall is an exceptionally talented attorney!

Chiquita made an immediate and lasting impression on me during my very first consult with her. When she responded to my impassioned plea for help with my employment situation, I could tell that she was both sharp and caring. She had listened carefully to the details and asked all the right questions which, for me, demonstrated the depth of her experience on the matter. She was patient with me and calmly, professionally advised me on my options and path forward. I could tell I was in good hands. I am happy to say that Chiquita resolved my dispute quickly through negotiation and the outcome exceeded my expectations. She and her assistant were accessible and very responsive. She is professional, reliable and gets results. I would recommend her a thousand times over.

The Employment Attorney

After consulting with several employment attorneys, I highly recommend Attorney Hall-Jackson & Associates.
Every interaction that I had with her and her team was respectful, informative and empathetic.
Other attorneys were very focused on how much money they could make on the case, before even hearing many of the details.
At Attorney Hall-Jackson’s firm I felt that obtaining justice was always the priority.
They were responsive when I had questions and provided good detail when answering any questions that I had during my dealings with them.
I found them to be highly ethical, professional, experienced, and very well versed on all matters regarding employment law.

I am very grateful and honored to have worked with Chiquita Hall-Jackson for over three years. Her actions in commiting to diversity and inclusion at her firm as well as in her advocacy efforts is
unparalleled. The experience I gained has deeply informed my own ideas about what it means to be a socially responsible professional and will have a lasting impact in my career.

The Boss Lady

I’ve been working with Chiquita for two years now, conducting intakes with prospective clients for her Chicago-based employment law firm. She is passionate about helping people fight for their rights in the workplace and holding employers responsible for their actions. She’s bold and outspoken, but also very compassionate. She’s easy to talk to and enjoys sharing her legal expertise with others, while continuing her own pursuit of knowledge. Chiquita’s ability to connect with people from every walk of life makes her a natural leader and a highly-regarded attorney and business-owner, and I’m proud to know her.

Marcee Williams,

Hall-Jackson & Associates P.C.

The Philanthropist.

I have had the unique honor of creating and operating a Nonprofit Organization with Attorney HallJackson. Over the last 7 years she, through our organization (WIT Scholars), has speared-headed many initiatives and undoubtedly impacted many lives. Where I’ve seen the heart of Attorney HallJackson on full display is during our annual Back to School Bash, where she has consistently advocated for hosting this event in Chicago’s most underserved communities. Attorney HallJackson often utilizes her personal resources and connections to ensure that this event is a tremendous success; and it has been, feeding thousands of people and distributing countless backpacks, hygiene kits, and children’s books. Attorney HallJackson’s passion to serve underprivileged and often isolated communities emanates from her deeply rooted faith and belief that “faith without works is dead.”
