a good human

Emre is the type of person you want in your corner. He doesn’t over promise. As an attorney he is efficient, responsive, trustworthy, and extremely thorough throughout the entire process. I would recommend him to anyone.

Simply Amazing

What can I say about Emre Polat except that he's an EXCELLENT lawyer. I never met an attorney so dedicated and prepared at all levels with so much knowledge about employment law. Emre is very insightful, helpful, raw, and honest, thanks to him, I was able to get justice. He was always readily availab...le to provide guidance and answer questions. His immediate responsiveness was very impressive. Emre, you are a "rare" find, and I am so lucky to have had you as my attorney on this matter. Thank you so much !!!!

First Choice Top Lawyer

Emre is smart and straightforward. I also appreciate his response turn around time. I met him late in the game of my discrimination case and wish that I had met him sooner. He was clear and honest with me with my options. I decided that I didn't want to continue with my discrimination case at thi...s point so I didn't want to waste his time. If only I met him earlier, I know things would have been much better for me. Discrimination cases are a long tough road but I can tell that Emre can handle it. I would recommend him to anyone seeking a lawyer for these types of issues.

Great Lawer

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

Best Employment Attorney

Emre is extremely knowledgeable and best of all listens to your story at length. He ensures that he has a full understanding of what is going on to make sure he is the right attorney for you. And that he was and is I was beyond pleased with the consultative information provided. He guided me, respond...ed to emails and calls in matter of minutes. He is the attorney that an professional is looking to retain.
