Ahmed and Sukaram attorney law is hands down the most professional, reliable, convenient, and trustworthy attorney's in the bay. Could not have asked for a better attorney to represent me in my trial. Every wish I had while on trial that needed a court approval , got approved and situated very easily with no problems! Nafiz even got the judge to agree to let me be removed off of SORP ankle monitor to travel internationally for a family event! How awesome does your lawyer have to be to allow that to happen ?! Nafiz is my hero in my story <3 If you’re in need of legal assistance I recommend these awesome guys to find peace and hope with your case !

I can’t recommend Ms. Rickard enough! She helped me navigate a DUI case with professionalism, understanding, and genuine care. One thing that stood out was how accommodating she was, she worked with me multiple times to reschedule my sheriff work program because of some personal issues, which was a huge relief. Her communication was always prompt, and she made sure I felt informed and supported throughout the process.
What really impressed me was that she didn’t charge anything extra for all the extra help, and her fees were fair given the level of service and expertise I received. She was approachable, compassionate, and truly felt like someone who had my back. If you’re looking for a lawyer who combines skill with humanity, she’s the one. Seriously cannot recommend her enough!!

From the beginning it was clear that Dmitry had a deep understanding of the law, he was incredibly efficient and timely in addressing my case. Dmitry kept me informed every step of the way, ensuring that I understood my options and the process. Beyond his professionalism, what truly stood out was his compassion and dedication to my situation. He approached my case with empathy, which made a stressful time much easier to navigate. Thanks to his hard work and expertise, I achieved the results I was hoping for. If you're seeking an attorney who combines efficiency, compassion, and a track record of success, Dmitry Stadlin is the one to call.

I called Ms. Ekaterina Berman to consult with a case, and she provided excellent consultation even she didn't have time to take my case.
She listens really well. She gets my point immediately, and gets to her point clearly. The communication was very professional and easy.
She offered her professional take on the case and on my concerns, even I haven't hired her. She does not just care about money. She said, to save the time and money, what is the good way to proceed instead of forcing me a case to open and hire her.
Although I didn't end up with working with her on my case, I feel only someone who is good at what he/she is doing can do practice and work in the way Ms. Ekaterina Berman does. So I feel this is outstanding from others in the business, and it should be made aware to anyone who seeks for help and service.

Steve has been handling our legal matters for 8 years. He is outstanding: He is knowledgeable, personable, down to earth, and really effective.
A couple of matters arose and he was able to expertly resolve them as well as calm our nerves.
He knows his stuff. He knows exactly what he's doing. He is very good in providing insightful guidance and bringing things to a successful conclusion.
He is also friendly and easy to get along with. If you want your matters handled correctly, this is who I would recommend you talk to you.
Highly recommended.

I worked with Steve for just under a year on my case. Steven was right by my side every step of the way. Follow up and passing the play by plays as they came kept my confidence through the process.
Aside from Steve being an expert in his trade; he’s passionate; straight shooter, very direct (appreciated) and has your best interest in mind as you work towards aligning interests towards the best outcome.
I have referred several professional contacts to Steven in recent months going through similar situations.
Steve Cohn is by far my favorite and I’m grateful our paths have crossed. He’s a lifer in my book and will indefinitely be on my annual Christmas card list!

Having graduated from Law School in 1995 yet not practicing law now, I was very familiar with the processes in a law office. As I explained my situation to Mr. Cohn, I was impressed that he completely listened to everything before commenting. He then explained his theory on the best avenue for success. Afterwords, the staff worked diligently in processing all the necessary paperwork and I was relieved to know that I had a hard working team on my behalf. I would and do highly recommend this law firm for all employment and business related issues.

This was my first time contacting a lawyer and I am so happy I found Mr. Menendez. He was very attentive and listed to all of my concerns. He offered many options regarding my situation and even asked to call back if I had any other questions. Mr. Menendez was caring and extremely knowledgeable about labor laws. I was very impressed with his easy to understand explanations. I was left feeling much better about my situation and able to make a sound decision. Thank you Mr. Menenzes!

I hired Daniel for a labor law case after speaking to several attorneys because he came across a knowledgeable, understanding, and professional attorney with experience in the field. I was hoping that my initial assessment was correct and though my case dragged on for a long time due to the court system, I was consistently surprised by his work ethics, always returning calls/email and keeping me in the loop even though I now live 3000 miles away in East Coast.
He handled the case very well, never missed a deadline and very fair with his billing and fee structure.
I really do recommend him as he is an excellent attorney and a good human being.

Scheduling an appt. was very easy. Both Roxanne and Cristal we are very professional especially when I need to reschedule the appointment to another day and time. I needed to consult mr. Navarrete on insurance regarding my resignation, the type of references that I should expect my former employer is allowed to provide. He also helped clarify the documents that I received from my previous employer. He was also very patient in listening to all the concerns that I had leading up to my resignation. He addressed all my concerns and questions and help me put my mind at ease in finding my next role without any issues. I would highly recommend him to a professional who needs clarification and assistance in regards to employment law.

Attorney Arthur Navarette and his staff are true professionals who get the job done - the right way! I am a Silicon Valley executive who first consulted two other attorneys about a severance agreement but felt like they really were just going through the motions. In my gut I felt I was wronged by my former employer, so I decided to get a third opinion. This time I contacted The Navarette Law Firm. When I called their office, Mr. Navarette's assistant Roxanne was very professional and accommodating in setting an after hours appointment that fit my busy schedule, and more important one that was before my deadline to respond. When I arrived for my appointment with Mr. Navarette, his other assistant Cristal was also very professional, really nice and got me into my consultation appointment right away. In the consultation, Mr. Navarette was very thorough and asked several very pointed questions that neither of the two previous attorneys had even asked me. He pointed out to me that my employer technically had broken the law and explained exactly why, and in non-legalese. He was very up front with me and didn't sugar coat anything about the weaknesses in my case. He then asked me a question that neither of the two other attorneys even bothered to ask: he asked me "what is your goal?" I told him my goal was to get more money in severance pay, have a clean record, and move on with my career. I ended up hiring Mr. Navarette to re-negotiate my severance package. I was being offered 12 weeks of severance pay and he got me 52 (one year). He also ensured that future employers would know nothing about my termination, by making the severance agreement mutually confidential. Mr. Navarette kept me informed every step of the way and provided me with excellent legal advice and excellent legal services. I am thrilled with the result that Mr. Navarette achieved for me and highly recommend him to anyone looking for an attorney who really knows how to get the job done right!

Said he would take my case, then was unresponsive for a week, scheduled a meeting, and then said the day before the meeting that he couldn't take my case. Never called me at any point to discuss the potential case. Was a bad situation because things are often time-sensitive and he didn't respect that (up front) and made me waste several days chasing him.

He also represented me in my DOL hearing. I am very confident to recommend him specially for labor issues.

John represented me and a few of my fellow managers in a case against our former employer. We thought, and John confirmed, we were misclassified as exempt employees under California law. Despite some difficult facts and law, John got us a seven figure settlement in a very short time. Our prior attorney could get nowhere and John got it settled in just a few weeks.

What a Sexual Harassment Lawyer Can Do for You
A sexual harassment lawyer specializes in representing individuals who have experienced unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, or other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature that affects their employment or creates a hostile work environment. These lawyers help victims understand their rights under federal and state laws, such as Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, and guide them through the process of filing complaints, negotiating settlements, or pursuing litigation. They also assist employers in implementing anti-harassment policies, conducting investigations, and defending against claims.
Whether you're an employee facing harassment or an employer seeking to address or prevent harassment claims, a sexual harassment lawyer can provide the legal expertise needed to navigate these sensitive issues.
When Should I Hire a Sexual Harassment Lawyer?
You should consider hiring a sexual harassment lawyer in the following situations:
-
For Employees:
- Experiencing workplace harassment: If you are subjected to unwelcome sexual advances, comments, or behavior that creates a hostile or offensive work environment, a lawyer can help you understand your rights and the steps to take.
- Retaliation for reporting harassment: If you've reported harassment to your employer and are facing retaliation such as demotion, termination, or other adverse actions, a lawyer can help protect your rights.
- Failure of employer to address complaints: If your employer does not take appropriate action after you've reported harassment, a lawyer can advise on how to escalate the matter legally.
- Constructive dismissal: If the harassment is so severe that you feel forced to resign, a lawyer can help you pursue a claim for constructive dismissal.
- Negotiating settlements: If you're considering a settlement with your employer, a lawyer can negotiate on your behalf to ensure you receive fair compensation.

For Employers:
- Receiving a harassment complaint: If an employee has filed a harassment complaint, a lawyer can guide you through the legal obligations for investigating and addressing the complaint.

Hiring a lawyer early can help ensure that your rights are protected and that you take the appropriate legal steps.

How Are Sexual Harassment Lawyers Paid?

- Hourly rate: Some lawyers may charge an hourly rate, especially if the case is unlikely to result in monetary compensation but still requires legal assistance.
-
For Employers:
- Hourly rate: Lawyers representing employers usually charge by the hour, with rates ranging from $200 to $600 or more, depending on their experience and the case complexity.
- Retainer: Employers may pay a retainer fee for ongoing legal services, especially if they require regular legal counsel on employment matters.
It's important to discuss fees during the initial consultation to understand the cost structure and any additional expenses.
How Much Does a Sexual Harassment Lawyer Cost?
The cost of hiring a sexual harassment lawyer varies based on several factors:
-
For Employees:
- Contingency fees: If working on a contingency basis, you typically won't pay any upfront fees. If you win or settle, the lawyer's fee will be a percentage of the compensation. For example, if you settle for $50,000 with a 30% contingency fee, the lawyer would receive $15,000.
