Forget about everything you heard about Attorney’s

Forget about everything you heard about Attorney’s! Marina will change all your stereotypes! She will your advocate, your adviser, your strength, your mentor, your friend.She will fight for you like you are part of her family! And you will get a great compensation.. if she takes your case. When ...I lost my job, I was scared and close to panic. I left a voice mail, and Marina called me back in a 20 minutes.When I was driving back home after meeting her, I felt like I had wings on my back! She was tough and highly professional! She is not going to sell you a dream, but she will tell you exactly what will happen and what to expect. Marina is not only a great attorney. Also, she is a Mom, wife and great daughter. She has a great personality. She is easy, pleasant and intelligent person to communicate with. I highly recommend Marina Fraugun's service to anyone who has a problem with their employer.

Best employment Lawyer

I found myself in an very tough battle against my former employer, I was afraid, confused and hopeless. Marina took my case and fought for me like she was my guardian angel, I was amazingly surprised at how quickly she understood my case , unlike other lawyers I spoke to before, she is smart, and tel...ls you exactly what to expect. I got her support all trough the process, she is honest, very professional, in spite of her busy schedule, she always respond promptly to phone calls and emails even on weekends! You really get the feeling that you're her most important client. Her staff are outstanding as well, specially Diana, always courteous and friendly, highly efficient and knowledgeable. Marina settled my case beyond my expectation. I highly recommended her to anyone who is going trough a tough time with their employer. Marina will fight for you.

Marina is honest, personable, and experienced

Marina represented me in an employment case involving whistleblower retaliation and pregnancy discrimination. She stayed in touch with me every step of the way, and listened to my needs. She is tenacious, smart, and on top of her game, and she was able to get a positive resolution.

This is the person to hire for employment issues.

I did days of research for a lawyer. I felt really good about Marina for an employment issue. I was so upset for months because the company was giving everyone 80 hours of work and 40 hours of pay. Then they claim that the 80 hours is only 40 hours despite their own stats, production charts and wo...rk assignment calculator. Marina personally called me within a day of leaving a msg on the office phone. She told me that it's not illegal for a company to give more work than a person can complete and it only becomes illegal if they retaliate if you don't do the work. Basically if a person is stupid enough to do the extra work then the company won't stop them. I have a plan now for the future and will call her back when and if they retaliate against me because I'm not working for them for free. This has brought me a great amount of peace knowing that my company is simply using scare tactics to try to make people work for free and they can't do anything to you if you don't work for free. Thanks Marina and you are SO awesome. This is the person to hire if you have an employment problem people. I've already done the research for you.

very highly recommended

Marina cuts straight through to the core of the matter. She says it as she sees it. Marina knows the law inside out, works extremely fast and will fight for you. Be prepared to make the decisions quickly because Marina doesn’t waste time but guides you with respect. I wish I had gone to Marina firs...t instead of wasting time with lawyers that just messed up my case. Thank you Marina !
