An Expert Warrior Against Discrimination
I could not be happier with the way that Veronika represented me. She delivered solid and timely work, and handled the details of my case with zeal and the utmost professionalism, while having compassion for me as I tearfully navigated the emotional aspects of the journey to resolution. She is knowledgeable of applicable law, an expert strategist, and pragmatic in her execution - all while being cost-conscious for the benefit of her client. I am grateful for her support, and for being able to lean on her strength to see my case to a swift and satisfying conclusion.

Quick and professional advice
Veronika has replied instantly to my urgent request. I got her contact as a recommendation from a friend of mine and was able to meet with her on the same day. She helped me not only with recommendations but also with correct wording in my communication with my opponent. All her recommendations were professional and based on quality. Thanks to Veronoka, my case was a success. I would definitely recommend her.

A legal pro with great interpersonal skills
Veronika has advised me on issues from employment to renting and vendor contracts. Each time, Veronika saw the core of the legal problem quickly and made me feel understood. It takes experience and intuition to make a professional - and Veronika has the gift of both.

Intelligent, Knowledgeable, Prompt, Professional!!
I was referred to Veronika by a trusted friend for consultation on a specific employment situation. She provided crisp advice, covered all possible scenarios, potential options, appropriate responses and follow up actions. I had the situation resolved amicably, thanks to her timely and appropriate consultation!

Great experience
I felt very comfortable working with Veronika. She took care about all the aspects of my case and was very responsive to my questions and concerns. She worked out the winning strategy during our first meeting and made right adjustments later on during the case development. Her estimation of the case costs proved to be just right and her invoices were clear and justified. I was especially impressed by her negotiation abilities and experience. She managed to settle far better conditions for me than I was thinking of. I wish Veronika all the best and I would highly recommend her services.

Truly Exceptional Experience
I am a small business owner and don't have as much experience dealing with employment related legal matters. When I did have a need come up, Veronika was referred by another attorney that I know due to Veronika's knowledge of employment related legal matters. From the very first meeting I was impressed with Veronika. She is very knowledgeable and very good at coming up with a plan to get the best result possible. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for an attorney.

Incredibly sincere and thoughtful
Veronika was responsive to my requests during a high pressure contract issue and I have used her multiple times since to make sure I completely understood the contracts I was reviewing. I now feel comfortable and protected when I have her review documents.

Top notch attorney
Veronika helped me with a business related dispute. We were able to settle the case shortly after the discovery stage completed. I found Veronika to be very professional and thorough. She gave me updates on different solutions and approaches to issues that came up in the case. It was great to have Veronika backing me up in the legal battle.
