Maya helped me to negotiate a severance agreement with my former employer. She was empathic and I really felt that she had my back. She explained the pro's and cons of each decision that I had to make, in terms of which clauses to accept and which not, which clauses were fair, and which were not. She was very responsive, both by email and on the phone. It was a pleasure working with her and I highly recommend Maya.

I really understood what my case could mean in terms of law suit or settlement strategies.
