“I’ve worked with Jen for about six years now. She’s helped me successfully navigate several employment issues. As a business owner, it can be an unnerving experience when an employee is threatening legal action and you need expert advice quickly. Jen has always made herself readily available in those unfortunate situations to help guide and give first-rate legal advice.
She recently worked to update my employee handbook so it’s consistent with my company’s goals as well as Massachusetts employment law. Not only is she extremely intelligent and knowledgeable about all things employment law, she’s incredibly compassionate as well as the hardest working lawyer you’ll ever meet. I cannot recommend her highly enough.” -B.C.

“I worked with Meg after I was suddenly laid off from my job. She helped to walk me through all of the considerations and options with regard to signing a separation agreement and applying for unemployment benefits. She also answered all of my questions and helped make sure my legal rights were being protected.
I was overwhelmed initially, but after receiving guidance from Meg, I felt more empowered about how to make decisions regarding my next steps. Her legal knowledge, and compassion with regard to my personal situation, helped me to understand my options and determine what is most important to me in terms of moving forward. If you are looking for smart, caring counsel, I highly recommend reaching out to Meg.” -J.L.
