Employment and labor lawyer | Feb 07

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"April Glatt has a whole suite of skills that make her an excellent attorney. She is bright, strategic and extremely knowledgeable about her practice areas. She also has a very healthy ability to switch when necessary from charming to combative and back again, which is an excellent skill for an experienced litigator like her to possess, because sometime you must get along nicely with your adversaries, and sometimes you gotta' fight 'em. April is adept at both. She also has superior negotiation skills!"

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
