Underpromise and overdeliver - Highly recommended

I'm so glad to have met Supreeta. I was at my wits end when I was suddenly (and without warning) terminated. After the initial shock and feeling of frustration having signed a one-sided "standard at will" agreement never imagining ever that it would be used against me, I reached out to Supreeta for h...elp. Supreeta very quickly understood the situation and helped negotiate a deal that I thought was fair to both parties. Her calm, professional competence helped avoid expensive and stressful litigation. She gave me one piece of advice that I now follow religiously - have a professional read your agreement before you sign. I recommend her highly. My background: Senior Silicon Valley Technologist.

Practical and Strategic Employment Expert

Supreeta expertly guided me through the benefits and drawbacks of competing job offers. Weaving deep employment law knowledge with practical considerations, she helped me organize my own thinking and be more strategic in negotiating a path forward in my decision making process. Couldn’t ask for a be...tter employment counsel!

Compassionate, kind, and very helpful.

I reached out to Supreeta after I asked a friend for a referral to someone who specialized in employment law. While it was clear from the first few minutes of our call that my case wasn't the sort of thing she normally took on, Supreeta was kind enough to give me a bit of guidance nonetheless on a go...od approach to take regarding my situation. Because of that brief call, I was able to eliminate one possible avenue immediately, saving myself legal fees and a great deal of time, and resolve the remainder of my situation without making further missteps. Considering how incredibly helpful that brief call was to my situation, I can only imagine that if I had indeed needed legal representation, she would have been just as devoted, thoughtful, compassionate, and generous with her knowledge. I hope to never need assistance of this kind again, but if I do, I will definitely call on Supreeta.

Excellent legal support

After recognizing the discriminating behaviors of my employers, I sought legal counsel with both Supreeta and Greg. They are the dream team! Both were thorough, collaborative and compassionate. I was able to weather the storm with their thoughtful guidance and support. When it was appropriate for Sup...reeta’s direct intervention, she acted as a fierce advocate, uncompromising in her integrity and passion. I don’t know if I could have emerge the victor without Supreeta and Greg’s help. I would give ten stars if I could.

Amazing and kind attorney!

I reached out to Supreeta after a sudden termination for guidance and to review my options. She really took the time to listen to my story and understand my situation. She was extremely compassionate and easy to talk to and she gave me excellent advice on how to best handle my situation. She's quick ...to respond, honest and really cares about her clients. If you're looking for a knowledgable attorney who is great at what they do, Supreeta is the one to use!

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.
