Working with Amber was one of the best decisions I made. She is an exceptional attorney -- sharp,…read morecompassionate, and incredibly thorough. She not only handled my case with skill and professionalism, but also took the time to ensure I understood my rights and options throughout the entire process. I always felt heard, respected, and well-advocated for. Beyond her legal expertise, Amber is deeply client-centered and genuinely cares about the people she represents. She is strategic, thoughtful, and calm under pressure -- exactly the kind of advocate you want in a stressful situation. Thanks to her guidance, the outcome of my case was better than I could have imagined. I'm extremely grateful for her support and would recommend her without hesitation.

Super unprofessional... entirely spoke over me and handled the consultation poorly. Invalidated my…read moreexperience wholly. Better lawyers out there, have spoken to others in the Bay who gave truly nuanced consultations and offered solutions that made sense. She felt very inexperienced, relying on "what the law says" versus negotiation nuance. She frames it as an "intake call" in her response but she was offering me guidance on what to do even though I kept saying I didn't think her guidance made sense in my situation. Update: she just viewed my LinkedIn in response to this review and has not sent a letter to state she is not my attorney. Update: the non-attorney letter did go to my spam but it was wholly unprofessional as well. She was defensive for our conversation, blaming the "short nature" of it and "my timeline" and said "I believe you just posted a Yelp review and I am sorry that you felt the need to post that. It is your prerogative. I wish you the best and I hope you are able to find a satisfactory resolution." So, she was more focused on defending herself and arguing she was "right" than my case. I am greatly concerned about the ethics of this practitioner who prioritizes her own 5-star rating over reflecting on how she communicates with prospective clients. Employment law is a highly sensitive area, I hope people are able to find compassionate and knowledgeable individuals to serve them, not ones who are defensive and operate in an ethical gray area.

Arkady represented me in a wrongful termination/civil rights violation case. Specifically it was a…read morereligious and political discrimination case. It was a 4 year long battle and Arkady never gave up on me even though at times it appeared there was no light at the end of the tunnel. The employer had 3 well paid attorneys vs. a lone Arkady so it was a David vs. Goliath situation. You may think you are looking for an attorney to do all the work for you but you really should be looking for a good partner that you can brain storm and collaborate with because each industry is unique and each industry represents a different set of challenges that your attorney may not be familiar with. A good case is built on a good partnership between you and your attorney. Arkady quickly got up to speed in my specific niche industry and we formulated a plan of attack specific to my unique situation. In the end Arkady helped me build an amazing slam dunk case and negotiated a wonderful settlement 1 month before our jury trial was scheduled to start. I was so grateful with what he did for me and my family that I named my son after him.

Arkady was great to work with. He helped us negotiate a favorable settlement, giving us advice but…read moreultimately leaving the major decisions to us. He was also exceptionally responsive to our questions (and we had a lot more than we thought). He knows his stuff and it's comforting having someone with his level of professional confidence in your corner.

You'd think the firm would at least acknowledge receiving the emails and calls. I also submitted a questionnaire through their website. Other law firms responded and we selected one and moved forward.

Review of Tracy Lemmon -- Lemmon Employment Law & Conflict Resolution…read moreI was terminated by a major technology company while on protected medical leave, with active internal complaints and external agency filings pending. The company had locked me out of all systems within hours of my filing complaints, and opposing counsel was running out the clock while offering nothing substantive. I needed someone who could force a real conversation. Tracy did that. She engaged opposing counsel directly and didn't let mischaracterizations stand -- she quoted their own words back to them in writing and held the line. When the other side tried to reframe the narrative, Tracy kept the record clean and the pressure consistent. She coordinated strategy across multiple state and federal agencies simultaneously, which created the kind of leverage that actually moves a large employer off its default position of silence. The monetary result was strong -- meaningfully above what I expected going in, and well beyond the company's initial posture. But Tracy didn't stop at the headline number. She optimized the tax structure of the settlement in a way that materially increased what I actually took home, secured employment record protections that matter for future background checks, and ensured that every internal investigation was formally closed. Those details compound long after the check clears, and she understood that from the start. She's also genuinely collaborative. She kept me copied on everything, ran drafts past me before sending, and respected the documentation I brought to the table rather than sidelining it. If you show up organized and prepared, she'll put your evidence to work. I'd strongly recommend Tracy for anyone facing a California employment dispute against a well-resourced employer. She got me to a pre-litigation resolution that I didn't think was possible when I first engaged her.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
