Willing to Consult, but not to represent

I had a consultation with Ms. Bertini in October of 2017. She did offer advice, but would not take my case. Since my situation with my employer deteriorated to the point of required mandated retirement by May 2018. I contacted her again for a consult since her specialty involves employment law and ...workplace discrimination. I sent her a long memo describing my situation beforehand, and set up a meeting for our second consult. After she read my memo, she said she would gladly agree with a consult, but would not take my case, nor represent me. Her rationale stemmed from a conflict of interest with with the mediator who tried my case, yet she still was willing to agree to a consultation with me. Naturally, since she had already determined not to take my case, I graciously declined. Thus I am still to be terminated from a job I've held over 40 years.

As I regretted to tell you the first and only time we met, your case was not only weak but not actionable. That is a hard thing to hear and you ignored my good counsel. When you called me again, months later, I told you, without charging you a cent, that my opinion was the same and that the mediator(who was a new variable since our first consult) was not someone I was interested in blaming as I think the world of her. That really upset you. I am sorry that you can't tell the difference between candor and avarice. I am sorry you lost your job. May your retirement be fruitful.

Words Cannot Express

Mrs. Bertini was beyond amazing both as a person and a lawyer. She listened to me, understood what I was saying, believed me, and helped me through it all. She worked hard and was tough in getting me what was right for my case. I am so glad that I consulted her and let her help me. I would recommend ...Mrs. Bertini to anyone with an employment law case, especially for sexual assault/harassment. She cares. And she will work hard to help you.

EXPEDITIOUS, FAIR AND EFFICIENT

Lisa helped me with an incredibly difficult separation from my employer. She was efficient and expeditious. She negotiated an acceptable severance package with a large organization in less than 10 days. Lisa is responsive and the absolute best in her field. I have already referred other clients to he...r firm.

Smart!

She was recommended to me by several people. She’s smart, knows the law and is fearless. So glad I hired her. I’d recommend her to anyone with a job/workplace related issue.

Helpful! Employment Contract Consultation

I was referred to Ms. Bertini as she specializes in employment contract evaluation. She was very efficient in reviewing my questions and providing the solid feedback and guidance I sought. She clearly advocated for me! I would heartily recommend her.
