Among the Nation's Most knowledgeable USERRA lawyers

I have known Kathy Piscitelli for 13 years as fellow members of Florida NELA. Her peers have the highest regard for her. She is recognized as an authority on the laws protecting veterans returning to the workplace. Her firm, Harris and Helwig has an outstanding reputation and she is one of the reason...s why.

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"Kathi is best known as a legal scholar. I know that side of her as a colleague on the labor & employment certification committee for several years and a reader of her definitive volume on USERRA. But I also know her as a skilled, compassionate, and practical lawyer in the trenches serving her clients in court. Knowledge of the best when it is applied practically to serve real people. That's the story of Kathi's career."

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
