Emily K. Harvin

Competent handling of a workplace investigation

I engaged Emily Harvin at Ogletree Deakins for guidance during an internal investigation into a harassment complaint at my San Francisco-based company. Her background in Labor and Employment Law for management was evident; she provided sound, practical advice on navigating the legal pitfalls of the process. Her recognition by Best Lawyers in this specific field gave me confidence in her technical knowledge. The outcome was satisfactory and protected the company's interests. However, the experience felt somewhat transactional. Communication sometimes had delays, and responses, while accurate, could be brief, leaving me to seek further clarification. For a straightforward matter, her expertise is solid, but for clients desiring more proactive guidance and regular touchpoints, expectations should be set accordingly. She is a capable attorney for foundational employment law issues.
