"I have worked closely with Talia in the past and she is one of the most passionate defenders of employee rights I have ever met. She is smart and skilled, but also supremely tenacious because she empathizes deeply with workers who have been treated unfairly in the workplace. Her concern for equity shows in the care she provides to every client. Anyone fortunate enough to have her as their attorney is in very good hands."
"Talia is knowledgeable about employment law, pays exceptional attention to detail, is a tenacious litigator, is very smart and empathetic, and truly cares about doing a great job on every case. I highly recommend her."
"Talia did a great job on a case we worked on together. I was glad she selected our firm to work with, and the client had a great outcome."
