Review Katrina Saleen

Great experience!

Posted by

I had an excellent experience working with the team at Broderick Saleen. From start to finish they were reliable and clear communicators - I never waited long for a response and they always explained their strategy thoroughly which is important for someone who is new to the legal environment! I can't thank them enough for advising me during a difficult time. They were reassuring throughout the entire process and helped me understand my options. I found them to be the perfect combination of professional and personable.

Katrina helped me successfully defend my case

Posted by

I was accused of many false allegations by a person who cannot be reasoned with, who was using legal mechanisms to harass me (even if it's strictly speaking legal). Katrina did a great job at strategizing a defense for me and I won my case. I'd highly recommend Katrina!

Although new to Avvo it is clear that Ms. Telfer brings a lot of experience to her answers. They are accurate, analytic, and customized to the needs of the Avvo askers. These are exactly the qualities that every client would look for when hiring an attorney.

I endorse this lawyer's work. Katrina is consummate professional. She possesses the rare combination of strong analytical writing skills with a gentle jury-pleasing demeanor that is a key to success in sexual harassment law. Since I don’t practice in the same area as Katrina, I have referred cases to her and received nothing but positive feedback from the referrals. I strongly and unequivocally recommend her to anyone seeking to vindicate their rights in harassment cases.
