Pinar Araz

Pinar was wonderful to work with! We hit the ground right from the start of the phone call and helped me form my strategy for negotiating a severance agreement. She helped me understand the broader situation at play and gave wonderful advice with explicit and easy to understand communication. I hi...ghly recommend working with Pinar

I recently had the pleasure of working with Pinar Araz for the creation of our company's employee handbook. The level of expertise and attention to detail was truly remarkable. From start to finish, she demonstrated a deep understanding of our company culture and legal requirements, ensuring that eve...ry aspect of the handbook was tailored to our specific needs. The final product was not only comprehensive and clear but also beautifully structured, making it easy for our employees to understand and follow. The professionalism and promptness in communication made the entire process seamless. I am thoroughly impressed with the quality of work and the dedication to client satisfaction. Highly recommended for any business looking to develop or refine their employee handbook.

As a small business owner who had never encountered employee-related issues before, I recently found myself facing an EEOC complaint from a former employee. The challenges with this individual, ranging from attendance issues to attitude problems and task completion difficulties, led me to make the di...fficult decision to terminate their employment. Despite my efforts to provide various opportunities within the company, the situation did not improve over several months, necessitating the termination. About a month after the termination, I received notice that this former employee had filed a discrimination complaint against me with the EEOC. I was feeling uncertain about how to navigate this legal challenge, and a friend recommended Pinar as a skilled employment lawyer. From our first meeting, it became evident that I had found a lawyer I could trust. Pinar guided me through the steps of the EEOC complaint process, conducted a prompt and thorough investigation to find out what led to the termination, and crafted an exceptional position statement in response to his allegations. While we have not received EEOC’s decision yet, I am confident that it will be a favorable one thanks to Pinar's diligence and the quality of our position statement. If you find yourself in need of legal representation in employment matters, Pinar is the attorney you can trust to advocate on your behalf effectively.
