Reputably Established, Aggressive and Effective Approach

Emre helped me with a sexual harassment case regarding a restaurant where I was previously employed. I hesitated on coming forward for about a year, but once I finally made my decision, Emre was very supportive and guided me through the whole process. His communication was impeccable, and he did not ...make any moves without talking to me first. The restaurant's lawyers were already familiar with him and his approach, and his reputation preceded him resulting in a settlement- knowing Emre would not hesitate to bring the restaurant to court should they not come to an agreement.

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.
