Human Resources Manager

Athena Herman is a powerhouse. She listens with empathy. She offers ideas based on her experience, deep knowledge of case law, and keen ability to predict human behavior. She fights for the underdog, and is relentless in the pursuit of justice for her clients. My case was unique, so Athena referred m...e to high integrity legal experts who would best fit me personally, as well as help me meet my goal to collaborate quickly. I interviewed several attorneys and found a perfect match. Even though she wasn't on my payroll, Athena continued to make herself available to answer my questions. As a professional woman and mother, I will continue to reach out to Athena Herman for a strong shoulder, good data, strategic thinking, sound legal advice, and fierce advocacy. She gave me a voice when I could not speak for myself, and she helped shine a light on the best path to resolution for my family.

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.
