Posted by Nona | November 18, 2021 | Hired Attorney | Employment & Labor

Expert, intuitive and caring

I highly recommend the services of Karen Kithan Yaun. Karen has advised me on workplace issues. Her expert legal counsel reflects a thorough understanding of all facets of employment law. What felt special to me is that Karen also understands all the factors and stresses that may be affecting a clien...t--psychological, financial, and societal--and she speaks to you with sensitivity and compassion. Karen patiently explains the legal statutes and terminology, making sure her clients grasp them; and she presents options and helps you determine which would work best. What I also found invaluable was that she provided the best language for me to use in negotiations. I am so grateful to have had Karen's support to help me focus and move through challenging situations.

Compassionate and Experienced...

I was in a dilemma, finding the right attorney, who was not apprehensive in taking on a big challenge, when the defendant was the City of New York. After several denials by attorneys, just because my complaint involved the city, i was referred to Karen Yau. Immediately Karen, saw my dilemma and passi...onately concluded that if I was willing to fight for my right for resolve, she will help me. Yes, it was going to be an uphill battle, but with Karen's experience in employment discrimination, reassured me that we will fight the fight with the city. After almost a year, Karen was able to reach a positive resolution. I was happy to work with Karen who was always sympathetic to my complaint. Karen gave me the confidence that she was working for my best interest all the time, and with this mindset we reached a positive resolve. Karen and the professional foundation of Kakalac Law enabled me to resolve my issue with the City of New York.
