Ann Saponara, Family Attorney on Oct 28, 2015
Relationship: Worked together on matter
I endorse this lawyer. Chitra is a tough advocate when needed and fair in trying to settle cases if the opposing party is acting in good faith. If thorough advocacy is needed, Chitra is more than up to the task; if there is a possibility of a fair and reasonable settlement, she will effectuate that.
Jennifer Ramirez, Landlord or tenant Attorney on Sep 24, 2014
Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter
I endorse this lawyer. I recently settled a case with Ms. Ramanathan and it was a pleasure working with her. She strove to resolve the matter promptly and efficiently.
