Employment Lawyers for Employees in Boston

We focus on the employee's side. Whether you were fired for the wrong reasons, denied the unemployment benefits you're entitled to, or simply not paid what you earned, we'll tell you honestly whether you have a case and what it's worth — and then we'll pursue it.

Our employment practice areas

Wrongful termination

Massachusetts is an at-will state, but that doesn't make every firing legal. Terminations that are discriminatory, retaliatory, or in breach of a contract or public policy can be unlawful. We help you determine whether your termination crossed that line.

Unpaid wages

The Massachusetts Wage Act sets strict rules about paying employees what they're owed — wages, overtime, commissions, and final pay. Violations carry significant consequences, including mandatory treble (triple) damages plus attorney's fees in many cases.

Severance review

Before you sign a severance agreement, it's worth knowing what you're giving up. We review severance and separation agreements, explain the terms, and negotiate for better ones where there's leverage.

Unemployment appeals

If you've been denied unemployment benefits — or had benefits you already collected put at risk — you have the right to appeal. We represent employees in unemployment appeals before the Massachusetts Department of Unemployment Assistance (DUA), including hearings before a review examiner and further appeals to the Board of Review and, where necessary, the District Court. These hearings move quickly and often turn on how the facts of your separation are presented, so experienced representation can make a real difference.
