Direct and realistic approach to challenging employment situations

While Katie could have easily agreed to take my case with a very low chance of success (and potential loss of severance) - instead she spent a good amount of her valuable time walking me through all available options. She has a comprehensive understanding of employment law and helped me better unders...tand both all legal options and the potential implications of each. While I honestly hope to not have to chat with Katie again, I would recommend her to anyone facing any type of employment issue (ideally before it's too late since California law inherently favors corporations vs. individuals).

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.
