Knowledgeable but Missing Personal Touch

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.

Solid but Inconsistent Experience

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. However, while her legal knowledge was top-notch, I found her communication style to be somewhat inconsistent. There were times when I had to follow up multiple times to get updates, and responses weren't always as timely as I would have expected from someone with her level of recognition. Additionally, I felt the billing process lacked transparency at times, making it difficult to anticipate costs. Overall, I’m satisfied with the outcome of my case, but the experience could have been smoother with better communication and clarity.
