Our Awards

The San Diego Business Journal’s Best Places to Work Awards program recognizes outstanding companies whose benefits, policies and practices are among the best in the region. HAE is truly honored to win this award because it cannot be bought. The Best Places to Work award is based on an extensive review process and anonymous surveys of our employees.  

Creating a great workplace where employees are eager to give their best effort every day is challenging. Being named to the list demonstrates that our organization has what it takes to recruit and retain a highly engaged workforce. 

Haeggquist & Eck celebrated its 15^th anniversary in 2023. In addition to the amazing insurance benefits we provide, here are some additional benefits to working at HAE: 

• We focus on quality of cases, not quantity. As an attorney, you will have a relatively small number of cases, so you can go dive deep into each case and provide the best possible representation and service for your clients. 

• We have no billable hour requirements. Litigation is stressful by itself. You don’t need to add the stress of billable hours. 
• We support your development as an employee, as a person, and as a citizen. Any type of continuing education you want to take that advances your role at the firm and provides you with the opportunity to better serve your clients, we will support you and help make it happen. 
• You will be joining a high-energy team of professionals who are passionate and excited about their work and their mission in the world. 
• We proactively recruit women, people of color, and people from the LGBTQIA+ communities. We believe that people from historically marginalized communities have a special insight into the experiences and oppression that our clients have faced in their workplaces. 
• All work is collaborative. You’re never on your own. Your work will never be static. We all care about bettering our careers, bettering the firm, and bettering our client experience.

We’re honored to announce that Haeggquist & Eck attorneys Alreen Haeggquist, Amber Eck, and Aaron Olsen have been voted Best Lawyers in America for 2024. Alreen Haeggquist was additionally voted Lawyer of the Year for 2024. This award is particularly impressive, as it is presented to a single lawyer in each practice area and geographic region. 

At Haeggquist & Eck, we strive for excellence in all that we do to provide our clients with the best legal representation possible. These awards are meaningful to Haeggquist & Eck because they are the result of multiple peer review surveys. To be recognized by other lawyers as one of the Best Lawyers and Lawyer of the Year is truly gratifying and says a lot about our team.
