Excellent counsel and very responsive.

Yael is working on my employment case , for the past couple of months. To date, we have made good progress on the case. Yael is making sure to consult with me and keep me informed, every step of the way. She is highly knowledgeable with regards to my case details and its legal implications. Ya...el is very responsive, throughout our communication, both by phone and email. I can highly recommend Yeal and her work.

IP Litigation Expert

I am VP / General Counsel at a mid-size entertainment & technology company in the Los Angeles area. As the only attorney at my company, I must periodically seek advice from experts in intellectual property at local law firms. Ms. Tobi is my go to counsel and has been for the past 5 years with regard ...to copyrights, trade marks and trade secrets. Her detailed, prompt and direct advice has enabled my company to gauge its potential litigation position with accuracy many times over. Ms. Tobi's expert knowledge, sound business advice and humble approach has been the key to many of our successful license agreements and settlements, helping bring certainty to sometimes apparant catastrophic liabilities. A major plus for Ms. Tobi is her willingness to enter into alternative fee arrangements specific to certain recurring business. I strongly recommend Ms. Tobi.

Excellent negotiation skills! Trustworthy, great results!

My company is in the entertainment industry. Ms. Tobi advises us on all employment matters, IP issues and contract negotiations with major motion picture studios. She drafted multiple production agreements, NDAs and handed patents and trademark registrations. We intend on continuing to use Ms. Tobi f...or all of our needs.

Highly recommend! Smart, obtained great results!

Ms. Tobi is very knowledgeable, she is quick on her feet, she is aggressive when she needs to be and she is very responsive. She handles a multimillion dollar litigation matter for my company (jewelry) and I trust her completely. I would hire her for all my legal needs.

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.

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.
