      Review Natalie Koss

      Professionalism with compassion

      Posted by

      Ms. Koss patiently listened to my problems for more than an hour. Explained my situation and gave me clarity of my mind. Highly recommended.

      Excellent attorney. Optimizes strategy.

      Posted by

      I have worked with many attorneys and I need to say Natalie is the most honest, personable, ethical and most effective attorney I have ever worked with. Give Natalie the facts and she will build an optimal strategy towards settling a dispute. Natalie does not offer you unbelievable expectations. Just the opposite, based on the facts, she will offer the industry average and work for the industry maximum. I had low expectations for my case and she came through with extremely better than expected results. I will recommend her to anyone needing an attorney.

      Professional and Responsive

      Posted by

      Ms. Koss' office was extremely responsive and returned my call the same day, after hours, after I told them that my employment case was time sensitive. A consultation was scheduled very quickly, and after consulting with Ms. Koss I decided to retain her. She was very compassionate and very knowledgeable. She knew and understood the federal laws and the local laws in different states and counties. She explained to me what to expect, and was always very responsive. I am very glad I hired Ms. Koss and her team to handle my matter. I am happy with the results, and they have made this unpleasant process bearable. I would recommend Ms. Koss and her team!

      Natalie is amazing. After attempting to acquire a lawyer for my pregnancy discrimination cause for months to no avail, I found Natalie. She listened. She informed and she offered to help even though I was broke. She is competent and will fight for you. I refer her to as many people as I can. I trust her. She is the person you call if you want something done.

      Excellent advice!

      I came to Natalie with the goal of creating strong contract documents for engagements in my consulting business. Not only did I receive great contract artifacts, I received excellent advice to protect myself on a variety of legal fronts. Worth every penny spent.

      Expert, efficient, and personalized legal help - and we won!

      Posted by

      I found Natalie Koss and Potomac Legal Group online when searching for a way to get out of my timeshare. After checking out Natalie's credentials with the Maryland Bar and having a preliminary conversation with Richard Dutchman in her office, I went ahead and signed a retainer. I'm so glad I did! Natalie and I had an efficient, thorough phone call to discuss all the issues in my case, I forwarded all the relevant correspondence, and she did all the promised work quickly and kept me posted on my case. Natalie gave me expert advice and context for my case, and her work won us a timeshare cancellation and even a refund! She also stuck with us with updates all the way through until I got my refund from the timeshare. Another big plus was that Natalie clearly explained all the steps in the process so I knew what to expect. Overall, it was a very positive experience during an anxious time - and I appreciated all of Natalie's work!

      Separation agreement review and consultation

      Posted by

      Natalie reviewed a separation agreement offering and associated documents with me during a telephone conference. She was thorough and highly professional. Unfortunately, due to the size of my former employer, my legal rights are limited and I was forced to accept the agreement as far as paid severance was concerned. Nevertheless, I greatly appreciated her input and suggestions and the clarity with which she discussed the situation. She also made several good suggestions to the separation agreement that I was able to get incorporated into the final document.
