Very good experience overall

I do not have any extensive experience in dealing with lawyers, but Orit was the third lawyer that I have dealt with. I would definitely rank her higher than the other two that I have had experience with (different cases of course). I worked with Orit to sue a former employer for back-wages. She ...was very easy to communicate with and kept me in the loop with what was going on (our engagement lasted 2-3 months), offered me excellent advice and always explained the reasoning for her advice. The fee structure was as is explained on her profile (percentage) and it is up to you to decide if that works for you or not but I found it to be reasonable. Of course I hope I will not have need of her services again, but if I do need a lawyer in labor law, it will definitely be Orit.

Exceptionally Astute Attorney

It is a rare thing for me to give such high marks for any service because there is always room for improvement. However, in this situation, they are well-deserved. My circumstances were such that I was unsure whether my concerns and complaints about a work matter were justified. I had contacted a...n attorney who told me I had no case. I almost believed him but thought it still made sense to attain another opinion. That is when I contacted Ms. Goldring. Although she initially echoed the first lawyer's opinion, Orit is a very incisive attorney - a rarity in the profession, in my estimation. She is not content to hear a mere summary. On my inquiry call, she spent a lot of time asking me a wide variety of questions. The more information she gleaned from me, the more convinced she became that I did indeed have a valid FMLA complaint. For personal reasons, we decided we did not want to take the case to court. I relied heavily on her to negotiate terms for me in my absence. We discussed and agreed upon reasonable expectations. I was kept abreast of each discussion, each action, the tone of every meeting and next steps. It was reassuring to be so well-informed throughout the process. Ultimately, she negotiated judicious remuneration for me and managed the entire case with the opposing party amicably and professionally, for which I am appreciative. I highly recommend Ms. Goldring.

Far exceeded my expectations

Ms. Goldring negotiated a separation agreement that far exceeded my expectations. She was always available to hold my hand through the entire process. She is a talented gifted attorney as well as a sincere and caring person.

"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."
