Best legal experience I could hope for

When I was unfairly discharged from my previous employer and denied unemployment, it rocked my world. A good friend who had a similar problem recommended Mrs. Berkowitz and I gave her a call. She walked me through the process with expert guidance. Her fantastic knowledge of the situation and kind ...demeanor really helped make a highly stressful situation much easier to deal with. I'm incredibly grateful for the successful case, but even more grateful for how much stress she took off my mind during this ordeal. This amazing woman knows her stuff.

Posted by anonymous | July 05, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Wrongful Termination

Unemployment Benefit Appeal

I was wrongfully terminated from my job and denied unemployment benefits. Lauren was personable and knowledgeable about common appeal pitfalls. She assessed the strength of my case, navigated me through the legal paperwork, followed up on all of my outgoing paperwork, gave me constant updates, ma...de sure that I felt comfortable answering cross-examination questions, and helped me win my appeal. I will highly recommend Lauren to any of my friends and family who have employment law questions issues in the future. Thank you!

Very helpful, Clear on scope of practice

Lauren advised me about employer and employee relations. She did so with clarity, speaking in a language I could understand, and efficiency. Her good nature and ethics were evident throughout, which helped me trust her guidance. I will continue to consult Lauren as I need and would absolutely reco...mmend her to others.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
