Had a consultation and was told it wasn't strong enough for her to take the take the case at this time. Gave me some advice for me to do the work with EEOC as a case can be made but didn't follow up with her email as she promised. Out $350 by someone that wanted the case to be wrapped and ready to ...win.

While I was so nervous and anxious reaching out to Ms. Bertini since I had never been in a situation like I was, she was professional, understanding, and sympathetic from the start. I instantly felt comfortable. She had read and educated herself on what I had sent prior to talking with her so our con...versation jumped right into her thoughts and legal stance of my situation. She was honest and told me exactly what was fair and reassured how I felt and what I was entitled to. She succeeded in getting a prompt response from my employer, along with the compensation that I had earned and was entitled to. She was highly recommended to me and I'm so thankful I reached out to her. I would also highly recommend her to anyone seeking advice for wrongful treatment in the workplace.

When I came to Lisa with my case I was completely broken due to the terrible treatment I endured at the hands of a coworker and the horrible way the company handled it. She made it clear from the start that this was going to be a tough fight but we would do it together. Every step of the way we DID... do it as a team and through it all I realized that she was not just my attorney but my advocate. During the time leading up to the mediation process she always kept me fully informed on every step that was being taken and gave me absolute thorough counsel so that the direction we were going in was the right one. It's hard to describe but from the moment she took on my case, I felt like I finally had someone to champion my cause, who was in my corner and that's because she cares about her clients. The best part, she won my case! I felt for the first time in months that I had my voice back, my pride, and my dignity as a woman in the work place!

Standing up to my employer was the hardest decision that I have ever made. Hiring Lisa Bertini to represent me was hands down the BEST decision that I have ever made. To say that Lisa is phenomenal would be an understatement; she really is a BOSS when it comes to defending her clients. She has th...e knowledge, the experience, and the credibility to get things done but she was also excellent at involving me and my input before executing any strategy. Her responsiveness was impeccable and she was always one step ahead of everyone else. She had my best interests at heart from the very beginning but she also made sure to never sugar coat things; she kept it real and always set expectations so that I could be as prepared as possible for whatever scenario came our way. My employer certainly tried their hardest to make things absolutely miserable for me - they were hostile and they were arrogant - but Lisa never once waivered. In the end, the outcome exceeded expectations and while we were celebrating our victory, they were going home with their tails between their legs. So, if I had to do it all again, would I? Absolutely, but ONLY with Lisa and her amazing team standing alongside me. I can promise you that you will not regret hiring her to represent you, but you will probably regret it if you don’t hire her. Lisa is, without a doubt, the person you want beside you, not against you, and if you are looking for the light at the end of the tunnel, look no further – Lisa will find it!

Two Hampton Roads corporate attorney friends of mine highly recommended Lisa. I was immediately impressed with her ability to listen...empathetic to the obvious & intelligent on the big picture. She challenged me to ensure I knew what I was going up against and educated me on the entire process. Eve...ry time there was a response or concern from my past employer's counsel, she immediately notified me. I was involved every step of the way and provided detailed documentation of the matter, so that she had the ammunition required to stand up for what is right. Her staff was attentive, efficient, thorough, and paid attention to every tiny detail, to ensure each moment of negotiation was presented with perfection. The entire process took 11 weeks and would have been quicker, however there were delays on the other party's behalf. Lisa held my past employer accountable for their responsibilities regarding MY rights as their employee. My past employer's General Counsel told me if for some reason he would ever be looking for a job, he would immediately connect with Lisa. He went on further to apologize for the situation at hand and told me he was glad I had hired Lisa from the day she contacted him, as he knew she was a straight-shooter, would be complimentary to work through this predicament, and would ensure I would be treated fairly. In conclusion, I was respected by Lisa, validated by my ex-employer, amicably received every negotiation I requested and needed, and now have Lisa as a trusted, professional friend.
