Needless to say we won, and she helped enormously with things. Granted, she can be a typical lawyer that you have to keep your eye on at all times and monitor everything she does but that's the price we pay for suing other people: lawyers take advantage and always have, she's no exception. That being the standard she's great. I think the recent news and reviews reflects something else (I think its just start up phase "businesses grow through that kind of thing all the time). I'm about to try her on something new; we'll see how it goes.

The receptionist took down my personal details only to inform me right away that they are not accepting new clients at this time. I wasn't asked for any details of my situation to determine whether the firm has the expertise or the bandwidth to take on my case, now or in the future. This left me wondering whether my Jewish-sounding last name made them turn me away without any further consideration.

Scott has been a trusted professional friend of mine for 6 years as well as dependable employment legal counsel in both good and bad situations. Listening is such a crucial process when determining legal courses of action. Scott and Stacy are both impeccable listeners. Their ability to gather all the pertinent details, as well as their ability to provide objective and mature soundboarding enable them to be at the top of their industry. The outcome of their efforts has been 100% positive for me. Once you have engaged with this legal team, you will not only sleep better; but, you will quickly begin to feel confident in making better decisions about your legal employment decisions. Scot and Stacy are equally effective in helping professionals like me before we enter into employment agreements. Imagine the hours and dollars saved by entering into healthy and legal agreements, versus having to fight for past wages? This is well worth the effort to engage Scott and Stacy during an employment offer period. I highly recommend Berman North to any California employees and employers who want to be protected by the best of the best in California employment law.

Last year, my spouse and I needed to set up our estate plan, and were encouraged by a previous…read moreclient of hers to contact Pratt Law. Word-of-mouth endorsement from a trusted friend was valuable to me, and so were the positive Yelp reviews I read when conducting my due diligence about Pratt Law. My experience was excellent, and my spouse and I came away from the process with a complete, organized estate plan, as well as a roadmap for getting all of our assets retitled into it. Analisa Pratt is an attentive, detail-oriented lawyer who treated our estate planning with the kind of granular analysis I previously thought only electron microscopes could perform. I, a person who habitually thinks and overthinks many scenarios, was awed/eclipsed by the sheer volume of life (and post-life) legal contingencies Analisa covered with us, step by step, in plain language that we could understand, offering us actionable decisions and their associated legal outcomes for probably everything two average people might experience in their lifetimes. Added bonus: I no longer have to overthink anything we covered in our estate plan, because it's all spelled out like a notarized Choose-Your-Own-Adventure book, less a few dragons. If you're considering creating an estate plan, I very highly recommend Analisa Pratt. I feel very confident in the work we did together, and very grateful for the diligence with which she conducted research, exchanged emails, filed forms, and prepared our meetings and our materials. I am thinking about the people who might read my review in the years to come, as you look for an estate planner, knowing that you are probably on some level wondering if planning your estate means you'll have to talk about *everything* that could happen in life and after, and how that might make you feel. Well, my spouse and I did have to talk about all of those things, and I feel so fortunate that we worked with Analisa, because she made it very easy and comfortable for us to do so. Her non-judgmental and warm treatment of us made me feel like helping us through this important life maintenance task was something about which she cared deeply. Estate planning is a subject about which I knew little, but felt I needed greatly. My spouse and I found Analisa to be so patient, so professional, and so committed to continuous learning about estate law, which made Pratt Law a great match for us. Thank you, Analisa!

I wrote back on Monday and outlined the 3 points we need help with. No reply from Analisa. 2 days later I email Analisa to follow up. She asks for my phone number. I reply. Again nothing. 2.3 hours later I email to ask when I should expect her call so I'm ready. [I hate back & forth voicemail tag.] A few minutes later the phone rings, but when I stand up to answer it, I feel a bladder urgency and tell Analisa that I need to use the toilet and could I either put her on hold briefly, call he back, or have her call me back in 5 minutes. She sounds irritated and says she'll call me back. Then nothing. 18 minutes later I email Analisa to ask if she wanted me to call her. Who knows, perhaps I misheard her. I don't want to be waiting by the phone all day, I've got a lot on my plate currently. 8 minutes later Analisa emails me that she's not going to consider this matter, her schedule is completely booked with current clients. Gee, if that's the case and Analisa cannot take on new clients, why not say so up front? Why waste our time? I am concerned that this office does not seem to understand the security limitations of Internet based technology and does not want to use an encrypted secure document server to receive confidential information.

He does what is exactly necessary to get the best fair result, without wasteful drama or grand-standing. He came through for me. Wonderfully! And it was a long hard case.
