Extraordinary legal services

Emre was extremely professional and unlike other lawyers he made me feel as if. I was his only client. And very supportive every step of the way and made things easy for me after my case which involved my former employer wanted to have sexual relationship with me and I denied him and his advances fro...m there he fired me and tried to make me sign a waiver saying that he paid me over time which was not true at all and he tried to pay me 5 weeks in advance and I still did not sign the waiver I explained to Emre and he made the whole process easy for me if you need legal problems resolved Emre is right lawyer for you ! Thank youuuuuuuu soooooo much for all your help I’m so grateful !!!

Concise and transparent lawyer

I normally don’t write reviews but I want to write this one because I feel like Emre has changed my life and eased my anxiety after I hired him as my lawyer. He has made me feel so at ease about the situation and aggressively negotiated a settlement for me after I was wrongfully terminated by my empl...oyer after 7 years of dedicated service!!! I don’t think I had some case and other attorneys were misleading me about the laws and asking for money up front.  I’m so glad to have met this intelligent and charming attorney! I also read reviews before hiring Emre and truly agree with everyone else that his knowledge and experience with the employment laws are incredible! You will realize this from the beginning as even the lawyers of my ex-employer knew who he was.  I’ve consulted with other attorneys as well and they don’t even compare. It’s hard to deal with such situations when your job has been taken from you in one day after years of service but Emre and his team were true advocates on behalf of me, which is exactly what I needed. I can’t thank you enough!

The best!

If you are looking for an experienced employment lawyer who is a true advocate for you and your case, Emre is absolutely the best. When I found myself in need of a lawyer, I was really depressed and stressed but throughout the entire process Emre kept me informed of what was going on and always consu...lted me about each decision and step he and his team were taking. He truly knows his stuff when it comes to employment law and if you work with him, you'll know that from the very first conversation you have. Not to mention that he takes the time to talk to you about your life and how you are doing outside the case as well. This might seem like something small, but its HUGE when you're going through a stressful situation. Truly appreciate the human aspect of working with Emre.

  • 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.
