Having to hire an attorney for anything im sure can be a daunting experience. I was new to this and had an unfortunate situation that brought me to Brittany. To say Brittany was a delight to work with is an understatement. I never felt rushed, confused or uncertain about my decision. she made sure I ...was always in the loop, understood the process and next steps. She prepared me and encouraged all my questions. I knew Brittany had my best interest at heart and would work diligently. Im happy with my outcome and met someone I intend to keep as my attorney. Im confused by some of the bad reviews Brittany was always awesome to me.

Client

If in search of a top employment labor attorney, I am more than pleased to recommend Brittany Sloane Weiner, Esq. She makes it a practice to always be available, answer questions, return your call and be on top of the latest rules and regulations. She is intelligent, kind, and a winner. I am pleas...ed to have had her as my attorney and glad she was recommended to me. I highly recommend her. She is always at the top of her game.

Not Responsive, Poor Attitude

We contacted Brittany regarding a complex situation with a former employer. We needed someone to help advise us as to the best path forward, and to point out any risks and pitfalls that we might not have accounted for. She had a negative attitude from the moment of first contact, before we even had a... chance to speak, asking us how we got her number in a tone that sounded like she was angry and suspicious about the call. When we mentioned Avvo, her tone lightened momentarily, but as we began to explain the complexity of the situation she resumed the angry/suspicious tone, and interrupted and talked over us in a brusque manner to steer the conversation well away from the purpose of our call. She then cut the call short and asked us to send an email, which we did, and she responded by asking what we are looking for in the interaction (which had been delineated clearly in the email). When we responded and explained again, she never responded back. In every way, this was a very unprofessional and uncomfortable interaction. We had spent a lot of time looking at reviews on Avvo before choosing someone we thought could help us, so we were surprised to be treated this way as it did not match our expectations based on the other reviews on this site. I am not sure why she treated us in this manner, but I would be wary of contacting her unless you have a very simple case that does not require explanation, and you don't mind being handled aggressively and dismissively.

I am sorry that you had this experience. As you can see from the other reviews, I take pride in timely responding to everyone who contacts our firm and carefully discussing the aspects of their case - whether it is ultimately a case that we can accept or not. Because you have not identified yourself, even by initials or first name, I am unable to more fully comment on your specific experience.

Great Job

Brittany did a great job handling my case and kept me informed from the very beginning of the process until the end. Whenever I had a question regarding something she was always quick with a response or follow-up. I would definitely recommend her to others.

Tenacious litigator

Ms. Weiner represented me in an unemployment case against the powerful MTA, NYC Transit. Not only did she win the case. She exposed flaws in their method of admistering drug test.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
