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.

Chaya Gourarie is an Excellent Choice for Legal Representation

I hired Chaya to represent me for an employment related matter. Although the matter was stressful, Chaya guided me to a favorable outcome. I am certainly happy about the outcome of the situation, but Chaya's professionalism, expertise, and empathy all helped make my initial experience less of a night...mare. Hiring a lawyer to resolve a matter was certainly a last resort. But I am glad to have found Chaya. She is a tireless advocate for justice who treats her clients like she would treat her own family.

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.
