Karine Bohbot

Dealing with legal issues can be scary, especially if they impact your livelihood. Many years ago, I had problems with my employer and knew they were breaking the law. I felt scared and powerless to do anything for quite some time. When I no longer had any option but to fight back (I lost my job), I ...luckily happened upon Bohbot & Riles' web site. Karine Bohbot aggressively pursued the matter and resolved it successfully. She was accessible, clearly spelled out my options, and was extremely patient with my many questions along the way. I could not have been more pleased with the results. Over the years, I have asked her advice on other legal matters and if she cannot help me directly, she recommends someone who can. She almost always responds to my e-mails the same day--even after I was no longer her client. I wholeheartedly recommend Bohbot & Riles LLP to guide you through the legal process. Great results, very professional with that extra personal touch.

After more than 20 years of service to an organization that I had helped found, my employment was suddenly terminated with not even as much as a severance package. While she represented me in an extremely difficult employment discrimination case, Karine stepped in to become more than my attorney—she ...also became my confidant and friend. She made herself available to me whenever I needed to speak with her—which was often, she kept me informed throughout the process, and even allowed me to be present during the opposing party’s deposition. While we did not “win” a huge judgment, Karine obtained the best settlement possible. I am grateful for her amazing knowledge of the law, her ability to hammer out a settlement where there might have been none, her integrity, her compassion, and her great good humor. Karine is awesome, and I recommend her highly. You rock, Karine!

Karine is an awesome person all around. I have known her for several years now and other than having a fiery passion for justice and doing what is right, she is a loving mother, active community servant, and a dedicated professional. It never ceases to amaze me how many details she remembers despite... the number of clients she has, and how she keeps herself in tip top health to assure that she is always functioning at peak for her clients. I have worked with many attorneys in the past and I believe Karine can get more things done in one hour than some other attorneys can accomplish in 4-6 hours.

Several years ago, I was a named defendant in a lawsuit filed by a vendor who was owed over $60K. The owners of the court reporting office that I managed said they would have their attorney contact me and assured me not to worry, that it would get handled. But I did worry, because over the previous ...year, I had observed their lack of response to important issues and was not surprised the lawsuit had been filed. I had observed Karine as I had walked past the conference room during several depositions that were held in my office and had been impressed with her passionate advocacy of her clients. Outside the depo room, she was friendly and funny. After two weeks of waiting for a call from my company's counsel, I called Karine and asked her to represent me. She kept me informed throughout the process, and I was present during the plaintiff's deposition. Despite the stress inherent in a deposition setting, it was actually fun to watch her brilliance in action! Shortly after that, the plaintiff agreed to drop all charges against me and the matter was dismissed with prejudice. I did not pay a penny. In short, Karine Bohbot is a pistol! She gets the job done, and exceptionally well. She is astute, thorough, and efficient. She knows the law like the back of her hand and is a fierce advocate for her clients, while maintaining her humanity and compassion. I pity all opposing counsel, for they will have a fight on their hands, all the way through trial!
