Unwavering Advocate and Excellent Attorney

Working with Talia was a great experience. I hired her to represent me in addressing discrimination and retaliation at work. Initially I was nervous and hesitant to seek justice but working with her and her team gave me confidence and more importantly, empowered me to move ahead. Talia's unwavering a...dvocacy led me to victory in receiving justice and closing a difficult chapter in life.

Life changing lawyer!

Talia is the most thorough and driven attorney I have ever met. She handled my case aggressively, intelligently and brought me the justice I wanted. She keeps in constant communication by email and phone. I would refer her to ANYONE having issues with their current or former employer. She’s also supe...r sweet, sympathetic and I never got the feeling she didn’t believe me when SO many didn’t. She changed my life for the best!

Helpful, patient, and professional

Talia knows her stuff. She was incredibly helpful and patient with me, professional always, and extremely knowledgeable about employment law and discrimination. She walked me through the steps at each phase of our lawsuit and she was able to build a solid case, while negotiating with the opposing leg...al team. I felt confident and supported!

Champion for small business owner

As an independent consultant and small business owner, I am often left to establish/negotiate contracts on my own. I know enough to be dangerous about contract law, but sometimes find myself over my head. During a particularly difficult negotiation, I found myself in need of legal advice and was li...nked to Talia by a colleague’s recommendation and she did not disappoint! Despite it being a small legal matter, Talia jumped in full force and though I’m sure she had many larger fish to fry, she made me feel like I was her only case and took great interest in the work that I do. She also interpreted some tricky language in the initial contract that, had I signed, would have meant giving up rights to the intellectual property I created for a training event. She also reworked the contract to make it more favorable for me and one that I could use as a template in the future. Talia is thorough, efficient, and caring. A true ally to the underdogs!

Great Employment Discrimination Attorney

I consulted with Talia regarding discrimination in my previous workplace. Some of the topics I spoke to her about were personal and potentially embarrassing. She listened carefully, asked questions, and explained what my options were. I didn't have to decide whether or not to file a lawsuit right awa...y. She filed a tort claim notice to preserve my claim and that prompted my previous employer to conduct an investigation. Based on their findings, I decided not to purse my claim. During my office visit with her, she was professional and knowledgeable. She was able to answer most of my questions. I communicated with her mostly by email. She and her staff kept me informed of what was happening and provided me with copies of letters and notices. Talia inspired confidence and that made a stressful situation a lot better.

She is smart and skilled, but also supremely tenacious because she empathizes deeply with workers who have been treated unfairly in the workplace.
