Rachel Is the Best Their IS

Rachel Berlin is a sweetie pie but very serious about her work and looking out for her client. More importantly she is a beast. I got a pretty huge settlement thanks to her. Not to mention we were going up against a fortune 500 company. She knows her stuff she goes above and beyond to get the job don...e she thoroughly explained the process and made sure I was always comfortable with everything that was going on. If I ever need an attorney again I have Rachel on speed dial.

Great Assistance with Discrimination Case

Ms. Berlin provided outstanding service with my discrimination case. I had suffered long-term mistreatment, bullying and retaliation but was not sure if I had a legitimate case. Ms. Berlin did an excellent job of listening, asking for the appropriate information, and helping to decide the correct cou...rse of action for my particular case. She did an excellent job of explaining the law, the process, and legal options. She was extremely supportive of me during the entire process and we had a successful outcome due to her expert experience and judgement.

With Me Every Step of the Way

From the moment I reached out and discussed my employment situation with Rachel, she was understanding, honest, engaged, and extremely knowledgeable as to the state and federal employment laws. My case was complex due to the multiple offenses I endured, including abuse, which I am finally understandi...ng through ongoing physcological therapy. After nearly two decades with the same company and being promoted multiple times throughout the years, I was faced with standing up for what was right or sitting down and turning a blind eye to questionable ethics I witnessed from senior management. I did what was right and stood up. My decision to do this was not easy because I knew this would put me in a unfavorable category as seen from senior management. I became the target for termination/dismissal. Due to the physical and mental hardship I faced on a daily basis, my health declined. Eventually I had to take time off to recover as ordered by my Primary Care Physician. I submitted FMLA paperwork to ensure the security of my employment; however, in the end I was terminated. Rachel was with me step-by-step as I had to recount and present all evidence and information for what was a wrongful termination case. Rachel worked diligently by presenting all information and facts. In the end, it was through her guidance and expertise in employment law that we were able to agree on a very favorable settlement. I highly recommend Rachel Berlin to represent anyone needing a lawyer that specializes in employment law. She's the best in my book! Thanks again Rachel.

Excellent Employment & Labor Lawyer

I was employed as a contractor and felt I was owed additional wages for overtime hours worked. Rachel Berlin took the case and after reviewing the facts, presented them to my former employer on behalf of myself and others. I was very pleased with the quick resolution and settlement. I would highl...y recommend Ms. Berlin.

Recommendation and Advice on Separation Agreement

Due to a corporate reorganization with the company my department was eliminated. However, I wanted to secure expert employment legal advice with respect to the terms and conditions in the agreement. During the consultation meeting Rachael was very informative and provided clear direction on the mos...t appropriate steps going forward with matters relating the agreement. With Rachael guidance I was able to obtain additional benefits in the agreement. Rachael comes highly recommended.

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I have known Rachel since her days as a prosecutor in the Bronx where she was the assigned prosecutor on a few of my clients' cases over the years. She was an extremely knowledgeable rising star within the Bronx DA's office, and since then, has gone on to become one of the best plaintiff's side employment attorneys in Georgia. Indeed, she and I actually worked together on an employment matter a couple of years ago where I was personally reminded of what an effective and fierce litigator she is. She's an amazing attorney, hands down. I endorse her without question."
