Fantastic Lawyer

Lawyers come in all shapes and sizes, but let me tell you: Emre Polat is a phenomenal lawyer! He was very clear about the best approach to take in handling my case and knew how to manage my expectations accordingly. It was my first time dealing with a sexual harassment issue and having Emre in my cor...ner to fight for me eased my fears and anxiety. Emre is extremely knowledgeable, professional, honest and fair. You can trust this man represent you and keep your best interest at heart. I recommend Emre 100%. Thank You so so much for Everything without you I never would have received the justice I deserved.

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.

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 !!!
