I am grateful to have discovered Attorney Julie Gafkay to represent my Civil Rights Case. I learned of Attorney Gafkay while researching other Black healthcare professionals who had experienced what I call, “patient initiated - employer sponsored race bias.” The most prominent case that Julie has represented to date is the Battle vs. Hurley case in which she represented Tonya Battle, a Black nurse whose employer honored a man's request that African-American nurses not be allowed to care for his newborn. The case gained national attention. I googled Attorney Gafkay’s name and read the reviews on her website and contacted her. Soon after I contacted her office I received a phone call from Julie and immediately, I knew she was on my team. Julie had successfully represented several cases that were specific to Black health care workers experiencing patient initiated workplace discrimination. Despite the fact that Julie was reperesenting me across the country I could always trust that Julie had done the work of researching every professional we would encounter in my community including the Judge, local counsel and the arbitrator. I was always informed and knew what to expect next in my proceedings. There was not a moment in which she represented my case that I did not feel prepared. I felt comfortable asking questions. Things all came together when Julie arrived for my mediation proceedings wearing a red jacket. She had put together an effective team which included local counsel to represent me. I knew they had my best interest at heart and they calmed my nerves. Julie was polished and knowledgeable and had researched cases similar to mine and their outcomes. She validated my experience. The end result of my experience is that I felt empowered and vindicated. I absolutely recommend Julie Gafkay to represent your case against patient initiated -employer sponsored race bias. Taking a stand against racism is not easy and when you do so make sure that you have an experienced, knowledgeable and passionate attorney to represent you.

Julie took my case because she felt it was the right thing to do to give me voice. She believed I was treated unjustly, and she is a lawyer who is in the field because she is passionate about justice. Other lawyers told me I didn't have a case, couldn't win, or flat out ignored me. Julie called me right back, met with me, and took my case. Once I had her to represent me, I never worried. I knew without a doubt that I was in compassionate and competent care. She always responded to me immediately, and contacted me if anything was needed of me. We worked together for a year -- and won. I cannot recommend Julie enough. Having her represent me was one of the greatest honors of my life.

I contacted Julie regarding bonus and commissions, earned over a period of time, that was not being paid. Her knowledge and her ability, to explain the law and how it applied to my situation, was invaluable. She was able to help me determine a direction and collect what was owed to me. She and her practice were professional and involved every step of the way. At all times, throughout the process, I felt like everything was under control from the moment she took my case.

Julie and her team have been terrific over the past several years. I have been privileged to have Julie not only fight my cases but won!

Extremely professional, was certainly focused on our best interests, Would recommend her

I had the chance of hiring Ms Gafkay a few years ago and found her to be a thoroughly professional, courteous and hardworking lawyer with integrity.

Julie has a gift of being able to ask all the right questions. She was able to coach us through a difficult situation without having to go to court. Many thanks Julie.

I contacted this lawyer for a consultation in regards to a religious discrimination and wrongful termination charge against my former employer in June of 2016. I contacted Julies office and gave the secretary a rundown of my charges. She advised that I would first need to contact the EEOC and that they would send me information on the mail(which I received). I contacted the EEOC in June and my charge is currently at the investigation stage. I am aware that after this stage could possibly come conciliation and I thought best that I start contacting attorneys. I contacted Ms. Gafkays office and set up an appointment for 9/19/2016. I received a call today from Allison that my appt is cancelled. When I asked why she said because Julie told her to. What a waste of time, I live 2 hours away and was willing to take the drive. I guess my charge isn't good enough for a consultation, I will take my money else where.

Ms Gafkay did a great job kept me informed with out the whole prosses

Ms. Gafkay was compassionate, understanding & tenacious in fact finding to obtain the result desired for my case. I highly recommend her.

Julie will treat all parties involved in a very professional factual manner. I have worked with Julie on numerous occasions and have always been impressed with her diligence and concern. I am recommending Julie based on her skill in both the court room as well as out of the court room.

Having 2 prior experiences with the services of attorneys I have some knowledge of professionalism regarding legal services. I would rate the overall experience and advice provided by Ms. Gafkay as excellent. She was probably the best attorney I have used in regards to making personal contact with me when I needed answers to questions and also keeping me informed as to what the status was in my case. She seemed to be genuinely concerned about me. I also felt that she was assertive but not overly aggressive. Ms. Gafkay seemed to know what was the appropriate course of action to take and the tenor of attitude to apply. The bottom line is, I would definitely use her services again and would highly recommend her to others.
