Orit Goldring Is the Real Deal – Highly Recommend!

I've been working with Orit Goldring for several years now, and honestly, she's been incredible every single time. As my go-to employment and labor lawyer in New York, she’s sharp, super knowledgeable, and really fights for you like it’s personal. Whether it’s been tough negotiations or standing up ...in bigger cases, she’s always gotten me great results—way better than I expected. What I love most is how she keeps me in the loop, explains everything in plain English, and is just so easy to talk to and trust. If you’re dealing with any workplace issue in NY, do yourself a favor and call Orit at The Goldring Firm. She’s not just a great lawyer—she’s become someone I genuinely rely on. Couldn’t recommend her more!

The best employment lawyer

Orit was recommended to me by a highly respected out of state lawyer who used her in a case for his own family member. I am so glad that she was in my corner and I now recommend her to represent my friends and family as well. She is empathetic, candid, and effective. If you're ever up against Goli...ath, she's the David you want fighting on your behalf.

Egotistical Power Trip

Orit called me to argue with me after she determined I had a case to be resolved. She led with “don’t argue with an employment law attorney”. It was a very weird interaction to have when she felt so strongly I had a case when I first consulted with her. Needless to say thank God she excused herself o...ff my case and I was able to hire a competent and empathetic lawyer.

What an attorney should be

Orit was exactly what I needed in an attorney. She is smart, astute, professional, and accessible. She doesn’t speak over her clients heads, but at the same time, doesn’t speak down to you either. She is direct and sets reasonable expectations and walks her clients through the process without judgeme...nt. I found her style comforting without being patronizing. Based on my needs, she was able to customize her approach and positioned us to take advantage of the strengths of both my case and myself, without making me feel like the issue was mine alone. My case and the approach was somewhat unique , and not every lawyer would have guided me like she did. I would not only happily use her again, but would refer her to others. I find her welcoming to all groups of people, which is important in these types of situations. I respect her immensely as a legal talent, and find her personality engaging to the point where she would always have an invitation to Thanksgiving dinner! Thanks, Orit. I appreciate your efforts on my behalf. You made moving on to bigger and better things so much easier.

Relationship: Co-worker

"I had the great pleasure of working with Orit at a large NYC-area firm several years ago, and she remains a valued colleague to whom I can confidently go to for information about current "hot topics" in NY employment law. She has the skills, background, and drive to get the best possible results for clients. Clients who appreciate those qualities should retain her."
