a good human

Emre is the type of person you want in your corner. He doesn’t over promise. As an attorney he is efficient, responsive, trustworthy, and extremely thorough throughout the entire process. I would recommend him to anyone.

Excellent!

Emre was fantastic at helping me with my recent employment legal dispute. He was clear and proactive and made sure that I was able to settle the dispute without a hitch. If I ever needed employment legal services again, I would contact Emre without any hesitation.

Outstanding attorney!

Happy customer here! Emre is both extremely knowledgeable and personable (actually a nice and empathetic human being - rare breed). He is efficient and manages expectations really well. I was under so much stress when I contacted him, but after our initial consultation, I knew I was in good hands. He... negotiated a settlement amount which exceeded my expectations (as well as my former employer’s budget for this case resolution) in three months. Emre’s negotiation skills are second to none. I’ll be sure to recommend him should any of my friends happen to be in a similar situation.
