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.

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.

Negotiated Separation Agreement

I was recently employed in a very caustic work environment which included a verbally abusive and hostile manager with severe anger issues. The manager was subject to frequent violent outbursts and negative physically demonstrative behavior. The manager was in the process of terminating me without ca...use, which is allowed under Georgia law. He was constantly bullying me and resorted to falsifying records to protect himself. Ms. Berlin did an excellent job representing me. She was successful in creating and filing a separation agreement before the manager could terminate me. The agreement provided me with 5 months salary, a continuation of benefits, and protection from retribution. Ms. Berlin also put together a very strong case to seek very valid additional settlements which I decided not to pursue at the time due to health reasons. She was knowledgeable, professional, and supportive throughout the process.

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."
