Alexis Casillas, Education Attorney on Aug 30, 2018

I had heard great things about Ramit from a number of attorneys, but had not come across a case where the opportunity to work with her had presented itself. Recently, though, I had a potential client who needed an attorney to advise her on short-notice given that she believed she was in the process of being terminated. Ramit's office was amazingly responsive and helpful.

Edward Kotkin, Litigation Attorney on Jan 18, 2013
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community
I located Ms. Mizrahi on Avvo when a client of mine needed a contingency attorney in a case that involves various issues, including civil rights violations. She was extremely professional in responding to my inquiry. Upon a short discussion of my client's case, she candidly told me that its parameters reached well outside her expertise. It is regrettably rare that a highly qualified lawyer will tell you what he/she DOESN'T know. When an attorney has the outlook that allow a conversation like the one I had with Ms, Mizrahi, it typically indicates breadth and depth of real expertise, strong ethics, and confidence. These are the qualities that anyone looking for representation should seek.
