Excellent Experience

Emre was Honest, trustworthy and very straight forward. In unvarnished truth he will tell you exactly where you stand and what direction you should go. He never lost site of the end goal, which is to protect, defend and have the best outcome for his client. He was an asset in my legal process with ...his thoughts, suggestions, legal abilities and sincerity. I HIGHLY recommend him on any matter that takes someone with these abilities.

EXCELLENT AND PROFESSIONAL ATTORNEY!

From the first phone call to his office until the end, I was treated with utmost respect and professionalism by Mr. Polat and his staff. After our initial meeting at his office, I knew that I made the right choice by retaining him that day. His confidence and knowledge in the field was what impressed... me the most. He answered all my questions throughout the entire process with detail. He was honest, diligent and effective in resolving my employment matter in my favor. He is a true advocate for his clients and best lawyer that I have ever worked with! I can't thank him enough for his help!

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
