Discrimination case

Mr. Polat gave some good advice, i bought my case to him he took a look at it and he helped me. He worked fast and gave me the results that i needed. I will definitely go back to him if i ever need another lawyer and i recommend him.

Great Lawer

Mr. Polat reviewed my two contracts very quickly and gave me important tips for negotiation, especially regarding the non-compete clause.

Highly recommended!!!

I have researched many law firms and was finally directed to Emre. His knowledge of the employment law is incredible. He also made me feel very comfortable and was easy to talk to especially about personal matters at my job. My case was very difficult so I wanted to be sure to have an attorney who w...ould dedicate their time and not just take the case for the sake of taking it. Once I made the decision, I didn’t have to worry because I had someone on my side. I was extremely pleased with Mr. Polat’s help and reassurance. I had nothing to worry about. Just months later, I was told by Emre that my employer was now serious about settling my case with me. I couldn’t have done it without this firm! I highly recommend hiring Emre for an attorney.

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!

Absolutely Fantastic: Professional, Friendly, and a True Advocate.

I contacted Emre regarding a complicated legal situation involving my fiance and his former employer. We needed help assessing risk and figuring out next steps. Our consultation with Emre was extremely helpful. He grasped the crux of the issue right away (which was difficult to do given the compl...exity of the situation). Right from the start, he had a pro-active attitude and a friendly and supportive demeanor that put us at ease. His insightful and pointed questions demonstrated his proficiency and legal expertise throughout the conversation, and the perspectives and advice he shared with us were equally on-point and extremely valuable. After our initial consultation we decided to wait on taking legal action, so we did not retain Emre at that time, but if we ever have further need of legal services we would retain Emre in a heartbeat. He struck us as someone who would firmly stand up for the rights of his clients against injustice. I referred a couple of friends to him, and would recommend him highly to anyone who needs a fair and talented lawyer in their corner.
