Best Employment Law Plaintiff's Attorney

If you're looking for an employment attorney who will truly fight for you, look no further than Marina. From the very beginning, she treated my case like it mattered. She was emotionally invested, genuinely cared about the outcome, and went above and beyond every step of the way. Marina is a Super... Lawyer in every sense of the word. She is straightforward, honest, and never tells you what you want to hear just to make you feel better. She tells you exactly what she thinks, including the strengths of your case and the legitimate concerns you should be aware of. She means what she says and says what she means. That level of honesty gave me confidence because I always knew where I stood. One thing that amazed me was her communication. She responds to emails and phone calls incredibly fast, often much sooner than I ever expected. She keeps you informed throughout the entire process, so you're never left wondering what's happening with your case. What sets Marina apart is how thoroughly she prepares you. By the time I walked into every meeting and every important stage of my case, I felt confident, informed, and completely ready. There were no surprises because she made sure I understood everything in advance. Marina has the heart of someone who truly cares about her clients, but she is relentless when it comes to advocating for them. She may come across with kindness and compassion, but she is incredibly powerful in the courtroom and at the negotiating table. She is highly respected in the legal community, and that reputation carries weight. Most importantly, she delivers results. If you want an attorney who is honest, responsive, compassionate, exceptionally prepared, and willing to fight tirelessly for you, I cannot recommend Marina highly enough. Hiring her was one of the best decisions I have ever made, and I will always be grateful for everything she did for me.

Truly the best Employment Attorney

I have now had two separate consultations with Marina and on both occasions found her to be incredibly helpful with both topics of concern. She’s very sharp and well versed in employment law. Based on the sage advice she gave me twice now, I was able to take certain actions to protect myself and my j...ob. What sets Marina a cut above the rest is that she’s committed to helping people even before they are her clients. I never retained her but she offered her time and input to help me navigate my situations. Her ultimate goal is to do what’s best for her client or potential client and that’s to keep them out of court if it can be helped. There’s no shortage of good attorneys in LA but when it comes to your job security, livelihood and peace of mind there’s no one better than Marina in her expertise and genuine passion to help people. I hope you never find yourself in a situation where you need an employment law attorney but if you do, make Marina one of your first calls. She’ll make sure you take the proper steps to protect yourself and ensure a just outcome.

The right lawyer for you

Marina is a professional and an experienced lawyer with efficient service. She went above and beyond to settle my case and exceeded my expectations. She made the whole trial, as easy and smooth as possible and got me more than I expected. Thank you.

One of the Best

I contacted Marina when I needed a lawyer for a discrimination and potential class-action case against my former employer and I’m so thankful that I did! Marina was thorough during the discovery process, Marina was able to ascertain all of the facts needed before our mediation meeting with the EEOC. ...Marina also devised a great strategy to maximize my settlement amount. During the mediation process, Marina was articulate, knowledgeable, and was a true client advocate. I would highly recommend Marina to any employees that have been subject to discrimination, harassment or any other form of misconduct in the workplace. As an added bonus, Marina has a great personality and is able to get along with anyone. -Dan
