Emphatic and Professional Representation

I had the privilege of working with Milana at Lipsky Lowe on a sexual assault case. can’t recommend her highly enough. From the very beginning, she was understanding, empathetic, and unwavering in believing my truth. Milana was always responsive and professional, making an incredibly traumatizing sit...uation feel manageable. She handled my case with care and ensured the entire process was as smooth as possible. One of the biggest lessons I learned through this experience is the importance of speaking up and continuing to fight for justice. Milana’s support reminded me that my voice matters and that standing up for what is right is worth it, no matter how difficult. Her respect and dedication to her clients are evident, and I truly appreciated her support during such a difficult time. I highly recommend Milana and Douglas at Lipsky Lowe to anyone in need of a compassionate and skilled attorney.

Consultation for layoffs during Mat leave

Milana consulted me when I was laid off (amongst other 10K people) during my maternity leave. Milana coached me how to communicate with the company to extend my maternity leave which I did not know I was eligible for before I spoke to her. Extending the leave really helped me by giving me time to rec...over and job search. Milana is a compassionate and experienced lawyer. She really cares and she’s tactful in her advice. I highly recommend working with Milana

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.

One of the BESTTT employment law attorneys

As a seasoned professional in the finance industry, I've had to seek legal guidance on several occasions, particularly concerning employment law matters. Milana came highly recommended by two esteemed attorneys for a case involving retaliation and discrimination. From the start, Milana showed a remar...kable understanding of the complexities of my situation. She provided me with a thorough analysis of my options and demonstrated a profound knowledge of the law and its intricacies. Milana's ability to craft actionable strategies is exceptional. Her responsiveness via phone or email was reassuring, but what truly stood out was her genuine empathy. During what was undoubtedly a challenging time, Milana provided invaluable emotional support. With her guidance, I navigated dealings with my employer with newfound confidence and was able to vastly improve the outcome with my ex employer. Her passion for justice and her clients is unlike anything else. By the way, don't be fooled by her age, she's an old soul. The spunk she has, many older attorneys don't have. If you want a driven attorney on your side who will fight hard for you, she's the one! While I hope not to require legal assistance in the future, I take comfort in knowing that if the need arises, Milana is the one I can trust, especially in facing formidable adversaries such as large financial services firms.
