Chaya Delivered More Than I Asked For

Working with Attorney Chaya on my employment wrongful termination matter was the best decision I made. She is extremely thorough and takes the time to understand your industry before recommending a move. That preparation turned into a clear, winning strategy and timely communication at every step. Sh...e is smart, tactical, responsive, and a pleasure to work with. Because of her work, I received more than I asked for. I recommend her without reservation.

Exactly the lawyer we needed

I can’t share enough positive words about my experience with Chaya Gourarie of Bell Law Group. I was in a very complex legal situation and from the first phone call with Chaya, I felt in good and competent hands. Chaya is extremely well versed in labor and employment law and took the time to unders...tand every detail of the situation, incorporating both validation and reassurance about her confidence in the case, while also breaking down the future steps necessary. She guided the legal process with expertise, professionalism, eloquence in her correspondence with opposing counsel, and constant updates. She was persistent and thanks to her and Bell Law Group, we had a very positive outcome. I’d highly recommend Chaya and Bell Law Group for anyone looking for a great lawyer who will ensure you get the best outcome for your case.

Thorough and persistent attorney.

Chaya is an exceptional lawyer. I’ve worked with her for over a year on my case, and her meticulous attention to detail and unwavering commitment to securing the best outcomes make her an invaluable asset. While she is realistic in her approach, she is determined to fight for the highest possible set...tlement for her clients. Chaya has a deep understanding of the law and an impressive ability to recall relevant legal points on the spot. Her sharp memory and ability to connect the dots are very evident when you work with her. I highly recommend Chaya for anyone facing an employment dispute.

Very Grateful!

A friend suggested I call Chaya when I was facing an employment crisis. I was like a deer in the headlights trying to navigate my options when told that my corporate job position was being eliminated while I was battling for my life after a serious cancer and blood disease diagnosis. Chaya was kind,... compassionate and generous with her time. Thankfully the outcome was better than I thought possible!

Amazing

I was going through a difficult time being a recent amputee and returning to work not knowing my rights or how to get the help I needed. Chaya not only supported me in my case, letting me know I was never alone but she was compassionate to my situation and supportive of the emotional stress it was t...aking on me. She fought not only for me but with me. I felt like I had my best friend by my side and I could not have asked for a better outcome of my case and being able to reach out to her at anytime during the case as well as knowing if I need her in the future she will be there.

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.
