Alexis Scott Berkowitz

I hired Ms. Berkowitz on what was originally a straightforward labor case against a former employer. However due to a combination of mergers and bankruptcies of my former employer, the case became a legal entanglement, but even though it took FAR longer then it should of, through no fault of Ms. Berk...owitz, she did finally conclude my case in a satisfactory and financially positive manner. I was able to follow up even after my case was completed in regards to tax implications without any issues.

Attorney Alexis was such great help. She really care. It felt like someone had my back. Trying to resolved and track down the Co who informed NYCHA of additional income in error of my ID SS# with my married name . My situation was resolved with a few calls under consultation time. My rating is at... 100% for a job well done in just less then 24 hours. Once again thanks so much for caring and having my back.

I contacted four different attorneys before hiring Alexis Berkowitz for a complicated case of discrimination. I can say, without hesitation, that Alexis is a high profile attorney, extremely knowledgeable and deeply talented. From the first consultation to the resolution of my case, I felt supported ...and Alexis over- exceeded my expectations. She is without a doubt at the top of her game, and still manages to be very personable and caring. It was a pleasure to work with Alexis and I am so glad I found her.

I hired attorney back in September 2015, to handle a complex litigation case against a predatory for profit school located in Virginia. Initially she seemed extremely qualified based on her prior work and her overwhelmingly, positive reviews. I only agreed to a 2500$ retainer and hourly fee arrang...ement for research on claims based on her claim to take the case on a contingency once the other class plaintiffs came on board. At first, things seemed to be going well, I had a number of productive meetings with Mrs alexia and a resent law school graduate who is no longer employed at the firm as of today, (Aruna Chittiappa). Then in December of 2015, during our 3rd face to face meeting, Mrs alexia and her law clerk, asked for additional money for further unsubstantiated legal research in the amount of 800$,. I reluctantly agreed but began to suspect she was running a billing scheme. During this meeting she changed her story from the initial meeting back in September of 2015, now stating, she would entertain the idea of a contingency agreement for filing the case, which contradicted what she initially said to me. Considering the vast fanatical resources at the disposal the defendant, contingency arrangements are not uncommon in plaintiffs litigation. Usually this is worked out in the beginning as it was for my prior litigation matters, After another two months things began to unravel. When one of my plaintiffs contacted her firm intent on joining the case, she found numerous excuses to avoid signing him up to the case despite asking about him on prior occasions, she also became belligerent toward him during the initial conversation. Alexia stated to him during this conversation(around march of 2016), she never agreed to any type of contingency arrangement with me during our first meeting before handing over the 2500$ to her firm. Furthermore, she made a humiliating presentation to a state of Virginia attorney general investigator over a minor trivial mistake over representing the other plaintiffs who also filed complaints on my behalf. In addition to these above transgressions, Alexia had for months claimed in face to face conversations, that our documents were with another firm which had been conducting research into the class action claims on our behalf. We began to suspect foul play based on her deception and lack of honesty. After reaching out to the firm, I spoke with an associate attorney who confirmed what I had suspected, the firm was never sent any documents or actively researching our case. After consulting the other potential student plaintiffs, I decided to terminate my relationship with this firm, and fight to recover my 3500$ through Citibank debit card. After months of hard fighting, I was able to recover the funds which alexia had no business stealing from our group. The only funds I did not contest was a 250$ credit card purchase which paid for a demand letter Alexia forwarded to the defendants attorney. I currently found new representation during the summer of this year for a consumer case and discovered she was also inaccurate on numerous legal claims. I still continue to receive bills from the firm in the amount of 10,000$ for a case that was never filed and suspect research, which was inaccurate on most issues. The firms partner had no role in this corruption considering I never met him during any of the meetings or spoke with him over the phone .
