Strong advocate who is not intimidated to go up against challenges
“She is a fierce advocate when she needs to be and is not intimidated to go up against the "big fish".”
3
Tailors strategies based on client needs and complexity of issues
“She consistently shows compassion, an ability to assess complex situations, and a deep knowledge of applicable laws, including their limitations. Ms. Cambreling seems to thoughtfully tailor her strategy based on the unique needs of each client and the complexity of the issues.”
4
Responsive, sharp, and organized in handling cases
“She's very responsive to my emails as well as my many questions and inquiries. She's on top of things and extremely sharp.”
5
Supportive and straightforward in communicating with clients
“She was super supportive and responsive even when there were weeks at a time of waiting for movement. She was very straight forward and warned me about things that I may not have been aware of.”
Cons
1
Lack of responsiveness and unwillingness to assist certain clients
“I had emailed Nik a couple times and he didn't respond but I was determined to have ONE lawyer in Portland talk to me as a trans person. Nik refused to help because I hadn't met a criteria but he also didn't read or acknowledge any of the details or questions I added to the intake form.”
2
Potential lack of empathy for clients facing difficult personal issues
“I just wanted help. I dont want to grieve more friends because of shitty employers. I did get fired while on leave. I also got threatened with a 10 page psychotic letter calling me uncivil. This work ordeal put me into an IOP due to a suicidal ideation in June and I can't get anyone but my spouse to care. That's why the suicide rate is 41% for trans people. I don't wanna add to that but when it feels like you have people who specifically represent LGBT clients they'd show some empathy for them.”
