Evaluation of Attorney Natalie Koss While I am not an attorney, I do know when I feel someone has done a thorough job. Attorney Natalie Koss exemplified great knowledge of her craft in defending my job retaliation and discrimination complaint with the Federal Government. I was so very pleased with her writing and explanation of facts. I would definitely hire her again as my attorney. thank you

W$N B$G - Thank You Natalie!!!! (Below is a review from my husband.) First off, we have to say that my wife and I were really searching for the right employment lawyer in the DMV area. We knew we were in need of someone to represent our case. So we made a few calls to our friends who were in the legal field but could not represent us since they were not the kind of lawyers that we needed. Thus they gave us a few names to contact and we did. We called three law firms, made appointments, and did an initial meeting with all of them. It took several weeks to get all those done. Even after that effort, none made us feel that they were the right person. So we did a Google search and came across Potomac Legal Group. After reading about Natalie’s bio and many positive reviews online, we reached out and set up a call with her. After a two hour call, informing her about what we had gone through with a particular company, that had turned our lives up side down, Natalie assured us that she could handle our case. We felt it in our guts that she was the right person for the lawsuit. We had not yet met her in person but we went ahead and did all the paperwork online to hire her as our attorney. We later went to see her in person. At first we thought our case would be done within three to six months at the longest. However, the opposing lawyers dragged the case on and the more they did, the more frustrating we became. But throughout this whole time, we received nothing but clear communication, transparency, and outstanding deliveries from Natalie and her team behind the scene. Note here - if you are new to hiring a lawyer to represent you, please be advised that it is not your lawyer’s job to manage your anxiety of wanting to get the legal issue done and over with. It is your job and maybe your therapist. But what I could tell you is that Natalie’s commitment to help us did help mange our anxiety. When we had questions, she always found time to call back, answer those questions, and give good advice to help with the case. Her commitment paid off big time because we WON BIG. Both emotionally and financially. It would not have happened if not for the persistence, strategy and competency of Natalie and her team! Throughout the process the other party looked at us like - really? You had no idea who you are up against. We’re a big DC law firm with big money. We’re going to destroy you and your family. To say that we had extreme stress was an understatement. But in the end, with Natalie as our lawyer, she helped us prove to the world that what we had gone through was not right. No entity in the US or the world should treat someone the way my family was treated. We were jubilant when we received the justice we deserved. It felt Amazing. If you are looking for a work related lawyer when an employer has done an employee wrong, we highly recommended Natalie at Potomac Legal Group. And we thank God, and the universe for not letting us settle with other lawyers that we met before her. She was the best and most trustworthy lawyer! She treated us like friends and we are fiends now. You need a lawyer like this in your corner.

Knowledgeable, concise and supportive I engaged Natalie Koss and her team for advice on an age and FMLA discrimination complaint against my Fortune 100 employer. Ms. Koss provided thoughtful advice and counseling. She was highly strategic, outlining several options and outcomes. She appropriately utilized her team of strong associates to help contain costs, and the legal fees were more than fair. Ultimately Ms. Koss' advice and negotiation skills led to a very reasonable financial settlement and separation agreement. I highly recommend working with Ms. Koss and her team.

Highly recommend, negotiated my severance package As a former executive for a well-established but increasingly shady media corporation, I turned to Natalie when I was terminated. I deserved a substantial severance and additionally needed protection against them potentially disparaging my personal brand and hurting my future earning potential. After reviewing my situation Natalie gave me an overview of her outlook of my case and her expectations. As we worked through the negotiations I was struck by how 'on point' Natalie was about her predictions. She has a knack for reading in between the lines and seeing situations for what they are - a rare talent. Her no BS approach earned me a substantial severance and I definitely recommend her to anyone needing an employment attorney.

Excellent advice! I came to Natalie with the goal of creating strong contract documents for engagements in my consulting business. Not only did I receive great contract artifacts, I received excellent advice to protect myself on a variety of legal fronts. Worth every penny spent.

Natalie Koss was not simply spectacular as an attorney she was spectacular as a human being. What I went through professionally was extremely tough on me and my family, causing permanent mental health damage which is considered severe. With my progressive memory decline, and intermittent cognitive shortcomings, Natalie counseled and consoled us through a three year fight. I may not be alive today and I certainly would not be the man I am today without the work and steadfast constitution Natalie Koss demonstrated. Natalie, two plus years later, thank you, again.

The Bruce Lee of Ethics Natalie is amazing. After attempting to acquire a lawyer for my pregnancy discrimination cause for months to no avail, I found Natalie. She listened. She informed and she offered to help even though I was broke. She is competent and will fight for you. I refer her to as many people as I can. I trust her. She is the person you call if you want something done.

I have worked with many attorneys and I need to say Natalie Koss is the most honest, personable, ethical and most effective attorney I have ever worked with. Give Natalie the facts and she will build an optimal strategy towards settling a dispute. Natalie does not offer you unbelievable expectations. Just the opposite, based on the facts, she will offer the industry average and work for the industry maximum. I had low expectations for my case and she came through with extremely better than expected results. I will recommend her to anyone needing an attorney.

I had a great experience working with Jodi Danis and her team at Potomac Legal Group. Jodi's ability to explain legal issues in a clear, straightforward way helped me navigate a challenging employment transition and ultimately achieve a significantly better outcome than I would have on my own. She was thoughtful and supportive every step of the way. I also appreciated Phoebe Gurdon's responsiveness and professionalism throughout the process. Overall, the entire team was a pleasure to work with, and I would highly recommend them to anyone needing employment-related legal counsel.

Separation agreement review and consultation Natalie reviewed a separation agreement offering and associated documents with me during a telephone conference. She was thorough and highly professional. Unfortunately, due to the size of my former employer, my legal rights are limited and I was forced to accept the agreement as far as paid severance was concerned. Nevertheless, I greatly appreciated her input and suggestions and the clarity with which she discussed the situation. She also made several good suggestions to the separation agreement that I was able to get incorporated into the final document.

The best employment law firm in the DC area I cannot recommend this Potomac Law Firm and Natalie Koss highly enough. They are the only team you should turn to for any employment law matter. From the moment I contacted them, they took my case seriously, listened carefully to my situation, and gave clear, sound advice. Their expertise and strategy turned a potential $0 settlement into over $800,000 plus long-term health benefits. They were upfront and transparent with their fees, kept me informed at every step, and crafted a negotiation plan that maximized my severance package with one of the largest companies in the world. If you want a law firm that combines sharp legal skill with genuine commitment to their clients’ success, this is the one you should contact. Worth every penny.

I retained Potomac Legal Group for an employment matter and I cannot recommend Natalie Koss highly enough. She was a highly effective negotiator and got the outcome I was looking for, and then some. She was also an excellent communicator with me: she gets right to the heart of the legal issues and helps clients weigh pros and cons clearly.

I have utilized the services of Natalie Koss on a couple of different occasions to review employment contracts and found her to be very knowledgeable and her advice invaluable. I was extremely happy recently when Natalie was able to fit me in to her busy schedule at short notice for a contract review. I strongly recommend that you reach out to Natalie if you want an expert opinion on an employment contract that you are contemplating signing.

Excellent Attorney and highly professional Natalie successfully settled a Wage and Equal Pay Claim for me. She was incredibly patient and extremely detailed. Her diligence and knowledge of the compensation plan and compensation law gave me the comfort I needed through a highly stressful time. Her earnest strategy and quick thinking yielded positive results as we prepped and went into mediation. Highly recommend her.

Potomac Legal Group is a firm that collaborates and works with their client such as myself to make sure that all legal matters and concerns are addressed. I will surely call on this group again for any other legal issues surface. The entire group communicates in a timely fashion and commits while focusing on key points. I would recommend this firm .

Natalie was great! I am grateful for the opportunity to have a couple of consultations with Natalie. She was extremely knowledgeable and helped with my situation. I was new to speaking with a lawyer - and was very nervous - but Natalie made the process easy. She was well prepared for both calls and made me feel comfortable and confident in the process. I recommend Natalie. Her team was also very responsive and which helped ease my nerves when working with a lawyer.

I had occasion to hire Natalie to represent my interests in an employer breach of contract and severance. I thought I was the underdog, but emerged victorious with the services provided by Natalie and her Firm. She represented me from a position of strength and achieved indeed a satisfactory settlement without going to court. Over the weeks of negotiations, Natalie and her associates were timely and available for any of my questions or concerns. I consider her service exceptional and would have no hesitation to recommend her or use her services in the future.

Excellent and extremely helpful Natalie and her staff are wonderful. They have now helped me negotiate not one but two severance packages that were more favorable to me. When I need an employment lawyer, she is the very first person I call.

Natalie Koss is exactly the kind of employment lawyer you want on your side during tough and uncertain times. She really takes the time to explain everything and guide you through each step of the unlawful termination process after FMLA, setting clear expectations from the start. I'm super happy with how things turned out, and I even referred someone to Potomac Legal Group while my case was still ongoing. They also had a great experience from start to finish with Potomac Legal Group.

Sales Commission Assistance Natalie Koss was excellent. From the initial consultation, it was clear she had experience with helping recover unpaid sales commissions and was able to put together a strategy that allowed me to collect a substantial amount as a result. Her approach was factual, logical, and always prioritized my dollar by helping me take home as much as possible while keeping her fees as low as possible. She was professional, courteous, and always had a plan. I would recommend her to anyone looking for any type of employment law assistance.

Excellent representation I can wholeheartedly recommend Natalie and her legal team. When I first started the process of identifying an attorney that could represent me, I spoke with several, and it was very clear to me that her expertise, excellent listening skills, patience, and genuine interest in helping me set her apart. I found that Natalie established trust early on. She always kept her cool, explained the situation and my choices, and sometimes gently nudged me to reconsider. All of this helped tremendously in establishing a very productive working relationship. The rest of the team at Potomac Legal Group, including Krista and RIch, is terrific. They are all capable professionals who repeatedly demonstrate they had my best interests in mind. I am pleased with the outcome and the process by which we achieved it. Thanks again, Natalie and the team!

When I was laid off, I found Potomac Legal Group based on multiple strong recommendations — and I’m so glad I did. While I can’t share details due to the terms of my separation agreement, I can say they were incredibly helpful in guiding me through the process and ensuring I received fair compensation. What stood out most was their balanced approach: they clearly explained the legal side of things while also giving me a realistic view of how it would likely play out in the real world. That practical, grounded advice made a big difference. I highly recommend Potomac Legal Group.

Highly Recommend - Retaliation and Discrimination I contacted Natalie for legal advice when I suspected job-retaliation and feared termination. After hearing my account of the chain of events Natalie confirmed my suspicions and agreed to represent me. Although my employer and their attorneys made every attempt to halt the progression of an agreement and manufactured roadblock after roadblock, Natalie was able to successfully negotiate my resignation through a settlement agreement as well as a substantial severance package. Natalie's expert knowledge, advice and professionalism are beyond reproach and I would highly recommend her to anyone needing legal representation.

I was impressed by and grateful for PLG from start to finish. Jodi Danis and her team worked diligently on my case, clearly explaining every step along the way. The time and care they took made an unpleasant situation measurably more manageable for me logistically and emotionally. There aren’t thanks enough. Would highly recommend.

Natalie Koss is an amazing attorney. She supported me to improve my severance as well as showed compassion and respect for what mattered to me. I could not have asked for a better outcome. I recommend Natalie to anyone looking to be treated fairly and to get feedback before making any decisons.

Vital to my settlement I was in a legal battle that cost me my job and didn't know how to resolve it or if it could be resolved. After receiving wish-washy advice from the first two attorneys I was referred to, a friend in a similar situation recommended Natalie and her team at Potomac. From our initial conversation she was candid, informative and proactive, all of which provided a level of comfort during a trying time for my family. She advised me over the course of a few weeks and was vital to a settlement being reached with my former employer so that I was able to move on with my career. I would recommend her to anyone in need of representation that is looking for results.

Pleasant experience I really was surprised by my interaction with Natalie. She was thorough, prompt and kept me informed along the way. She told me what she needed to accomplish the task and performed beyond my expectations. I received emails that told me her progress and they came anytime not just 9-5. I also appreciate her follow ups after the transaction was over. She let me know that the timeshare company had further legal troubles and asked if they complied with our settlement.

Professional and Responsive Ms. Koss' office was extremely responsive and returned my call the same day, after hours, after I told them that my employment case was time sensitive. A consultation was scheduled very quickly, and after consulting with Ms. Koss I decided to retain her. She was very compassionate and very knowledgeable. She knew and understood the federal laws and the local laws in different states and counties. She explained to me what to expect, and was always very responsive. I am very glad I hired Ms. Koss and her team to handle my matter. I am happy with the results, and they have made this unpleasant process bearable. I would recommend Ms. Koss and her team!
