Very disappointed

Had my 300 hour consultation with Lisa and her assistant Darious, which lasted all of maybe 20 minutes. Was told to contact Darious if EEOC took complaint and he would take 40 %. With government shut down and the trama of the job situation and a travel disaster it was months later. She specifically... wrote I had 180 days to file. When I did contact I was told to sign a contract that was being emailed and pay 1000 deposit and would be paying hourly. I thought there was truly just an error since the name the receptionist spoke of was not recognized by me, I emailed Lisa directly. Her reply was "May take…or may not. …it has been since November and we get to recalibrate. This is a business. Your case is better for us to take hourly. And probably for you too. Regardless that is my decision. I don’t know why you are arguing when I get to make that decision and you get to find someone who will do it on a contingency. My notes only say we may. Again let us know if you need any referrals. The EEOC has pages of attorneys." I did reply and said yes if she did know of someone....to which there was no reply.

Firstly, my consult was $330 not $300 and it lasted the full hour. Secondly, you disappeared for over 6 months and then emailed me a question(though I was never retained) regarding mediation which we answered for you no charge. I never said 180 days because it is 300 days. So another misrepresentation on your part in the above fabrication. I stand by my very recent response to you after several argumentative emails from you which I will not publish as it is poor form. We were involved in a huge matter and could not take up your case this past month. Further, I have proof in email form that we gave you two referrals on July 29 at 10am. Sorry about your matter, but facts are important in life and law. And yours are incorrect.

Contract clarification

Ms. Bertini was very accommodating and available when I needed time sensitive information regarding my contract and departure from my previous employer. She was efficient, kind and supportive. She also was available conveniently by phone or email. I was very satisfied with the outcome of my case.

Prompt resolution for breach of contract

I encountered a professional contract dispute with a former employer who was refusing to respond to calls, email or certified letter. After internet reviews and referrals from 2 other attorneys who have handled other matters for my family, I consulted and hired Lisa Bertini. She felt I had a valid... issue and she expected quick resolution. Within 3 weeks, we had a settlement agreement even with Ms Bertini having a scheduled vacation. Her partner, Darius Rohani-Shukla, who assisted with my unemployment hearing and paralegal Selena Misco, were also most helpful. I highly recommend this practice .

Knowledgable, helpful, and personable

Lisa and her staff were a pleasure to work with from initial contact through resolution. I was referred by another attorney and was impressed by her awards and recognitions. When I met with her, I was even more impressed because of her humanity. It was clear Lisa knows employment law from every angle... and I was thrilled to find a professional who quickly understood my situation. Legal issues can be disheartening, but she restored my faith and confidence in myself. She quickly went to work on my behalf and was immediately responsive to questions and she persisted to reach a solution that was agreeable. After living a miserable situation for many months, her actions made it possible for me to put it behind me and move on. I recommend Lisa most highly and I am grateful to have met her.

Thank you, Melanie. I am so inspired by your motivation to find a better place to share your amazing talent and leave the horrid employer who never appreciated you nor intended to value you.

Thank you, Lisa!

When individuals or families seek legal counsel or representation, so often life has presented them with a whirlwind of issues they weren’t planning or prepared to face. In those times it’s important to find someone that will make you a priority while doing all they can to make life a little less str...essful. When I needed her most, Lisa was there. Lisa went the extra mile to make sure my legal needs were of the highest priority. She was super responsive and constantly looking out for my best interest. Lisa provided peace for family in the midst of a storm. I wouldn't hesitate to rehire or recommend her to anyone facing an employment issue. She’s the best and I’m thankful she was there when I needed her most.
