"I have been privileged to work with Erin Pulaski and she has been one of the best Associates I have had the pleasure to work with in 30 years of practice. Erin is a forceful advocate for her clients. She is one of the top legal researchers and writers in California. She collaborates well with her colleagues and is part of a very strong legal team. The results she has been able to achieve in a short period of time speak for themselves."
"Erin is a true rock star litigator! I worked with Erin in 2015 during a retaliation/defamation trial in Sacramento. The result was a $4 mil judgment thanks in large part to Erin's dedication and client control. Erin is a tireless advocate and will be a force in the employment community for years to come. I highly recommend Erin."
"I worked with Erin for years at Schonbrun DeSimone Seplow Harris & Hoffman LLP. She is equally brilliant and tenacious - a tremendously talented lawyer."
