From Michael N. I was with my last job for 9 years when a new manager came on board. She harassed me from day one giving me more work than everyone else and then when I was diagnosed with cancer, refused to let me go to my doctor three times claiming that we were too busy and that she may have to lay me off. I knew this was illegal and searched for an attorney to help me. I was referred to Kristine by someone at my dr office. I called her and she knew exactly what to do and guided me through this. I received a fast and excellent settlment from the company and was able to get the treatment I needed. I am so thankful for the job Kristine did. She is great.

From Niki: I hired Kristine after considering other attorneys. She was nothing short of brilliant in my sexual harassment case against my old boss. She made me feel confident and brave in a intimidating situation. Never let any boss intimidate you and ruin your job because of sexual harassment. I thank Kristine for getting me the money, job away from the creep and the satisfaction of knowing that I was right and that I have rights.

From 3andme:
Kristine is a tough negotiator and her letter to my boss was excellent. I was owed overtime money and did not get breaks from my former employer and she demanded that I get paid in full. I did, even though their attorney tried to low ball the amount and made up things about me. I'm glad I came out with everything that was owed to me and glad that it did not take very long for Kristine to get what I was owed. Thank you! |
From Mona55:
I adopted a baby from China. Kristine Karila provided legal advice about my right to take a 12 week leave of absence from work in order to bond and care for my baby. My employer was obligated to hold my job for me when I returned. Highly recommended.
From Oakpark:
I have retained Kristine on several occasions to advise my company concerning employment law issues and have found her to be very knowledgeable. I also retained her to represent my company in a lawsuit brought by a former employee who was claiming wrongful termination. The matter was litigated and the suit was eventually dropped by the employee, and I feel that Kristine did a fine job of litigating the matter. I highly recommend Kristine to anyone who is looking for a employment law specialist.

I was sexually harassed by my boss for over one year. I complained but it did not stop and he thought he could treat me s he wished.

I am grateful and call her if you have problems at work.
From PVCare:
I worked for a company for 9 1/2 years when I was stricken with cancer. My company let me off of work during the surgery but after that cut my health insurance and complained when I needed check ups. They complained about everything I did and try to get me to quit. I couldn't quit because I need to earn money to live. They wrote me up for things that other people were doing but which they weren't written up for . I was fired for no reason. Mrs. Karila got me money that I deserved from the discrimination of me because o the cancer and now have my own business. Thank you for helping me so much. I recommend her 100%. She is smart and nice too.
From RDilley:

She is terrific and explains complicated laws in a way we can understand.
From Tra712:
Kristine helped me with a case against my former employer for pregnancy discrimination and family leave when my boss fired me cause he didn't want me to take more than 1 week off after having my baby. She handled my case brilliantly and the matter was resolved with me getting a very good settlement. I was pleased with Kristine and how easy she is to contact and knew what to do. She handled the case and I would and have recommended her to anyone who has an issues with not being treated right at work. Thank you again for helping me and my baby.
From SSVI:
We have a small company and two employees who were unhappy after being reprimanded for breaking policy rules quit and hired an attorney to write a letter threatening to sue us if we did not pay money. They were making lots of false claims and totally exaggerating the facts. We were referred to Kristine by an attorney who highly recommended her as he had hired her for some matters. We knew we had done nothing wrong but the employees attorney sounded greedy and vicious and very aggressive and we did not want to spend a lot of money fighting in court for what we knew we didn't do anything illegal. Ms. Karila met with us, reviewed stacks of documents supporting the case and then wrote a response letter to the other attorney. The letter was very detailed, strong and very well written. She presented our case that we did not do anything wrong and that we absolutely refused to pay either employee one cent and also that if the employees sue, we will sue them for unpaid loans, time card fraud, refusal to return a computer and phone, etc. After Kristine's masterpiece letter was sent, we never heard from the employees or their attorney. We are very thankful to Kristine. She knocked it out of the park and saved us a lot of money, stress and time. Job well done!
From ErinP:
I worked for a company for over 3 years and worked at least 55 hours per week. The company refused to pay me overtime because they put the word "manager" in my title. I was not a manager and heard that they have to pay me overtime. I called attorney kristine and she helped me and didn't charge me any money. She filed the law suite and the other attorney wanted to fight and fight and not pay me. After depositions, the company agreed to pay me all the money I was owed plus interest and 30 days of pay and to pay Kristine 's fee. They also wanted me to come back to work which I refused since I found a better job anyway. Call Kristine she is the only attorney who returned my call and who would help me.
From ELICorp.
Our company was sued by four former employees who claimed that they were not give breaks or meal periods and three of them claimed they were owed overtime. We were referred to the law office of Kristine Karila and she was able to get the cases dismissed since the employees were exempt and not entitled to breaks or meal periods even though they got them and also overtime. We are grateful that Kristine knew right away that the case was a loser for the employees whose sister is an attorney and somehow thought she could shake money from us. With any labor law items, we are confident in Kristine Karila's abilities and have referred her to other companies with labor law questions.
