Exceeding Expectations

Milana’s expertise in employment law is unparalleled. From the moment I reached out, she provided clear guidance, listened attentively to my concerns, and navigated complex legal matters with finesse.

Incredibly thankful Milana Dostanitch was my attorney! From my perspective, best in the business:

Milana Dostanitch was excellent from start to finish. I really felt listen to during the darkest time of my life: She was incredibly professional, empathetic, listened to every detail and was able to understand what I was going through. Milana was always prompt and available whenever I needed her.... She helped me feel at ease and understand I was not alone in this world. Milana is incredibly smart, extremely talented, as she is able to break down things and articulate beautifully so I always walked away understanding everything from all angles. Everyone in her office was also very helpful, very professional, prompt and diligent. I would give Milana 10 stars and most definitely recommend her as a lawyer to anyone. In my opinion if you want a lawyer who takes a winning approach at everything she does, look no further.

A really excellent and happy encounter

I got to know Milana from one of her interviews on the TV and decided to give it a try. Once I began to speak with her I understood how accessible and professional she is. She clearly explained me the probable scenarios and the relative action plans. I felt safe and reassured after our talk, like I k...new I could trust in her. She definitely cares about the people who come to her as if it is her own personal case. She is clear, sincere and straight to the point. More than reasonable rates compared to the service I received. I'm not speaking like that cause I won my case, but after my experience I would have said the same even in the worse ending. I definitely recommend you to choose her or at least give her a try, if you want to be represented from someone who really cares about your situation and is really passionate about her profession. I just feel sorry I can't give her 6 stars. Thank you again Milana!

Are you a strong executive woman? Milana is your counsel.

Milana was recommended to me as a personal referral from a law school friend. Though ultimately she couldn’t represent me due to jurisdiction, she coached and advised me throughout the process of lawyer vetting and selection as if I were her client. She benchmarked reasonable rates, and advised how I... should negotiate fees. She also diligently listened to my case and coached me through how to pitch salient points to lawyers I was interviewing. All this - as a friend of a friend with no monetary incentive. If she was willing to go the extra mile for me, I’d not hesitate a nanosecond about hiring her to represent me formally. She is good. She cares. She is thoughtful and scrupulous. Oh, and PS: I won my case, and I believe the victory began the minute I spoke to Milana. Thank you!
