Ravi Sattiraju is an intelligent and compassionate attorney who is second to none in his field. His enthusiasm for the law and care he shows to his client makes it very easy for me to recommend him without hesitation. He is honest and upfront with clients regarding their likelihood of success and truly sympathizes with their situations. Best of all he is not afraid to take a case to trial when it is warranted. I highly recommend you call him to discuss your situation if you believe you have an employment discrimination case.
