The Law Office of Deborah H. Karpatkin offers experienced, personalized, client-centered advocacy and representation, tailored to your particular needs.
As your lawyer, I will work with you to seek fair and just solutions to your legal concerns, without losing sight of your personal values and goals.
For most of us, work is an economic necessity. At the same time, work brings dignity and meaning to our lives. Whether you are an individual or a small business, a senior executive or a lower wage worker, your workplace legal problems are important to me.
I work with clients in many ways. I litigate cases in court and before government agencies. I represent clients in mediations and arbitrations. I review and negotiate employment and severance agreements. I counsel clients about their legal and strategic options.
We will together seek fair and just solutions to your legal concerns.
I am honored by the many referrals from former clients, colleagues, and opposing counsel, and proud to have earned a reputation as a trusted and committed counselor and advocate in the pursuit of workplace fairness.

“I want to thank you so much, from the bottom of my heart, for all you've done for me these last 2-ish years. I feel like you've helped me get my life and my dignity back from this awful mess, though it's a little hard to imagine what moving on from this will look like. I've learned so much from this experience and from watching you work, and can only hope for as positive an experience in the future (not that I'm hoping for more legal issues of course).
