Brenda Torres
I hired Kathleen M. Gatti for an employment law matter involving a complex contract dispute, and she demonstrated a strong command of the relevant legal principles, particularly in the area of Employment Law - Management. Her recognition by Best Lawyers speaks to her expertise, and she clearly knows the ins and outs of workplace compliance issues. However, while her legal advice was sound, I found her communication style somewhat formal and detached. There were occasions when I felt like just another case rather than a valued client. Additionally, response times were inconsistent, which caused some unnecessary delays in our case. While I’m confident in her legal abilities, I wish she had been more accessible and proactive in addressing my concerns. For those facing similar employment law challenges, she’s a competent choice, but don’t expect hand-holding or frequent updates.

Attorney Gatti has a strong background in employment law, which was evident in her handling of my case involving a non-compete agreement. Her expertise in the field, particularly in management-side employment issues, was clear, and she provided solid advice based on her deep experience.
