Rima Najjar Kapitan

Rima Kapitan represented me as a graduate student in an academic case. As a student without significant cash flow, she immediately made me feel comfortable and was willing to work with me financial-wise, which was so awesome. Rima the epitome of professionalism, kind, but is 'no nonsense' when repres...enting her clients. Although the case did not turn out as (anyone) had expected, I couldn't have had the great successes I did if it weren't for Rima and her partner Yusra. She can get stuff done...and quickly. I had an extremely positive experience with her law firm.

Rima takes the time to understand the details of your case and has an in-depth understanding of higher-education law. After an initial discussion of the problem I was relieved to find out that Rima concentrated her practice on representing faculty Rather than institutions. She was excellent at resp...onding to attempts by university lawyers to bully and intimidate me, and in making sure that they respond to the concerns I raised. In the end, the settlemnet Rima negotiated for me was over twice the amount that the university originally offered.

Rima is extremely smart and understood every facet of my complex case that dealt with regulations, subtle interpretation of policies and emails; and execs who were pretty cunning and thought they could bully my attorneys and me. I think she is one of the reasons these big whigs decided to settle. Tou...gh calm under pressure and brilliant. Nice person to boot! Good person to have on your side!

Ms. Kapitan is a great lawyer, who deeply cares for her clients and handles her cases with exemplary professionalism and legal acumen. My case involved discrimination in an academic setting, which was settled successfully thanks to Ms. Kapitan's mastery of the legal framework. She also fought ver...y hard during the negotiation process. She made sure that I am getting the best possible outcome, even when that meant a delay on her fees. Highly recommended.
