A±±+ Sold my property in Roslindale, never imagined it could be so painless.
Ali's team was professional, prompt, thorough and walked me through every step of the process. I live out of state but they handled the closing for me, I didn't even have to attend. Very reasonable fee was a great value just in the time they saved me, no question.
Highly recommended for real estate transactions! Call them!

Ali and his team are great people to work with. We were recommended to him via our realtor and couldn't have been happier.
In the initial conversation, he explained all services they'd offer and an estimate of the costs. They worked with our lender very efficiently and kept us in the loop at all times. They were responsive in answering all questions in every step. Closing (which was mentioned as a stressful event by friends) was very smooth and stress free.
Definitely recommend Ali and his team to anyone who's looking for real estate attorney services. We'll be working with them in the future again for sure.

Matthew represented me in a very difficult situation involving discrimination charges I filed against my company. My very powerful former company had reacted to every attempt I had made to advocate for myself over the years in ways worse than I could have imagined, and I knew if I would have continued to represent myself, I probably wouldn't be able to live with the outcome. Matthew graciously took my case and got the situation resolved very quickly, hammering out an agreement that got me everything I cared about the most, and more. I left that company with the dignity they tried to take from me and I will be forever grateful to Matthew for that.
I was especially impressed by Matthew’s intelligence, engagement with the more complex aspects of my claims, and willingness to take calculated risks and stand ground on several points that were really important to me. He’s an incredibly skilled negotiator with great instinct. Although we didn’t go to court, I knew from his numerous ground-breaking legal victories that if we did, he would do a spectacular job. I think my former company knew that, too, and that gave me a ton of leverage. I would recommend him to anyone.

I was recommended Statera by my realtor, specifically, Brendan Armour. As a first time home buyer it was important for me to have an attorney that could be patient, and explain a lot of the process to me. Brendan did just that! He went above and beyond to ensure I understood any document I was signing and what to expect. He was always available for a call, which put our minds at ease. Highly recommend Brendan for your real estate needs!

After talking with Tim , I subsequently switched to Tim’s law group. Tim had to take on a WELL established Massachusetts law firm which could be intimidating; he was definitely up for this tough challenge. Other lawyers would not take this case after my previous lawyer’s handling and were afraid of losing this case. Tim was different, he wanted to help right a wrong as best as he could knowing what was being handed to him.
It was quickly apparent that Tim took his job to heart unlike my previous lawyer. Tim put the opposition law firm on notice that he was about the business of winning my case and not losing. Tim had a tough challenge because he had to rectify the mess made by previous lawyer who had my case on track to be a loss.
The best way to summarize how Tim handled my case could be explained by using terminology from the 1960s Batman TV series. In response to Tim’s introduction and demand letter to the opposition, Tim was hit with a response that was a BOOM. Tim responded and hit back with a KA-BOOM. Next time they hit Tim with a POW and Tim responded with a POW-POW; Tim did NOT back down. Tim worked hard and fought hard for my case. He kept me informed with every step of my case unlike my previous lawyer. He was honest with and didn’t sugarcoat what I needed to hear about my case. He did a hell of a good job with my case considering the mess he had to work with. I would absolutely recommend the Upper Charles Law Group as my experience was absolutely pleasurable with this law group. You will get a team of qualified lawyers who will fight for you and be honest with you, don’t hesitate to hire this law firm.

Maureen at Whitney Law Group LLC was a pleasure to work with! She was accessible, informed and really took the time to go over my options and keep me in the loop.

I could not be happier with the firm, the people, the service I received, and the successful outcome. Highly recommend!

When I needed an attorney to handle a contentious employment matter, Mark came highly recommended (“Reach out to Mark. No question. He’s the best”). After working with Mark and his colleague, Maureen, on a complex matter related to a former employer’s NDA, I wholeheartedly agree. Mark is incredibly knowledgeable, strategic, and extremely thorough in every regard. His style is direct yet empathetic, which was displayed when he helped guide me through what was a very trying situation. His colleague Maureen is also great. She was accessible when needed, is super sharp, and thoughtful within every interaction. What was also refreshing to experience, was how both Mark and Maureen always kept things on track, which was appreciated as legal matters can get costly. In the end, the outcome was an extremely positive one and I will forever be thankful to Mark and Maureen for their help and their professionalism. If you ever are in need of a legal team to handle an employment matter, you need to work with Mark and Maureen. No question, they are the best.

After understanding my situation, Mark got into several negotiations with my former employer. He's very conscientious and cares about my benefits. It was a difficult negotiation process because my former employer was not cooperative. Mark gave the other side's lawyer our best reasoning and what normal companies would do for my situation, but my former employer let their ego get in the way, instead of doing the right thing to investigate, they terminate the good person and wanted to pay a small fee to let me go away quietly.
Knowing it has been a retaliation I consulted 4 attorneys in New Hampshire, including some well known ones. They were all unwilling to represent me, but Mark stood up after hearing my story and knew I could get better than what was offered. Through his work in the end I gained a substantial amount extra pay.

I work with Kathleen on the board of a non-profit radio station. She is the first to advocate for inclusion and thoughtful process. She works to make sure that the board has a shared understanding of our directives and the outcomes we have committed to. She is also quick to volunteer whenever she is able to take on tasks that are meaningful to the success of the station. She is also fun to work with, and always able to see a positive path forward.

While in college in Boston, I was unfortunately the victim of police racism and acquired multiple charges for a crime I did not commit. Austin was very diligent and highly professional with his methods and tactics for ensuring my future was not affected by false charges. The end result was my case being DISMISSED! I highly recommend Austin, he is a solid and experienced attorney in bringing a criminal defense case to speedy resolution.

Brian understood my car accident and head injury because he's had a similar experience. It helps a lot to be represented by someone who understands more than the legal aspects of representing you. He was careful and patient in dealing with the insurance company, and in the end we got a settlement for the maximum award without having to go to court. The best possible result.

Brian helped us after our son was involved in a car accident. We found him to be very professional, straightforward and easy to work with. He listened to our concerns and worked with us to agree a strategy for how to approach the case. Although our son's case was not particularly complex we wanted Brian to represent our son in court. Thanks to Brian we got the best possible result we could have wished for. We are very happy we asked Brian to help us and highly recommend him to others.

Attorney Itzkowitz represented me in a federal suit I filed against some major American corporations after I was raped on the grounds of an American owned hotel in the Cayman Islands 20 years ago. The case was poised to be a truly landmark case on many levels. At the zenith hour to the trial, it was settled out of court for a sum that helped me regain my life and belief in justice. I was literally homeless and had become disabled by my physical and psychic injuries. Although receiving no interest from the American press (except for a superb article in Layers Weekly) the settlement Mark facilitated made some global headlines. An article even appeared in newspapers in Japan. Mark Itzkowitz is a "super-lawyer" of Super Lawyers. His insight and brilliance regarding the international laws which impacted my case was astounding. Mark has also helped me in smaller family type matters since then. I have 100% confidence in Mark Itzkowitz's integrity and ability. 5 stars is not high enough praise.

My experience with Steffans Legal was fantastic . Attorney Steffans helped me to recover lost wages. Attorney Steffans was professional and able to answer all my questions in an extremely timely manner. I’m not the most patient person and I tend to have a lot of questions - Attorney Steffans answered all of my questions . The case settled out of court for a sizable amount of money. The entire process took about 6 months. I can’t tell you enough how happy I was and am with Steffans Legal.

I’d like to take a few moments to express my gratitude towards my attorney Mr Ben Steffans . I called upon him last November with an incident at my work place and what direction to go in. From the moment on I was treated with respect , always kept in the loop over what was going on and he always gave me his opinion of what to do and never judged or argued if I thought differently. I ask a lot more questions than the average person and he answered everyone and never got aggravated . He made the process very simple and as time efficient as possible . I would highly recommend his office to anyone In need of legal assistance at the workplace !

I sought expert guidance for an employment law matter that was a complex and complicated case for many reasons. I spoke to several other attorneys regarding my situation and they all informed me that due to the complexity of my case it was going to be quite a challenge to take on. During my search I came across Attorney Benjamin Knox Steffans .
After my first conversation with Ben I immediately felt so much weight lifted off my shoulders because he was going to handle this legal matter with me head on.He showed me in so many ways throughout how outstanding of attorney he truly is. He came up with strategies that were incredibly effective for the different situations that came up throughout these extremely difficult six months for me.
He ALWAYS kept me up-to-date and stayed in contact frequently. There was never a time that I was not able to get in contact with him and his response time is incredible. His extreme knowledge for employment law discrimination and wrongful termination is incredibly articulate. He uses his strengths and knowledge from his past working on both sides of employer and employee law and that was a huge key to my success in the legal matter. I felt like Ben was always a couple steps ahead because he knew the employer side and what they might say and try to do.
Ben closely guide me through the process, he believed in me and he gave me the motivation I needed while battling my own severe chronic illness to continue to follow through even when times got really difficult. Ben provided outstanding strategies and his grasp and knowledge of employment law and the intricacies of litigation put him far above the rest. His negotiation skills exceeded my expectations in every way his professionalism was outstanding.
With that all being said the true victory was finding a lawyer that had such dedication to the case and his profession. If you are ever seeking or have any questions regarding any type of employee /employer relations law I would highly recommend Attorney Benjamin Knox Steffens.

My special education case was progressing far too slowly, so I switched attorneys and hired Jeff. He filed the request for hearing immediately and set it in motion. We ended up having to go all the way to due process hearing, but with Jeff’s leadership and skill it was a slam dunk and we prevailed. My son is now where he belongs in a private school getting the education he’s entitled to. Parents, do not hesitate any further in your struggle. It’s time to call Jeff Sankey. (We affectionately refer to him in my household as ’The Sankerator’). Call him, tell him every single thing about your case. He will give you an assessment and tell you where you stand.

I will start by saying that Micol is not only the best attorney I have ever met but she s also a great women with an immersive positive personality. She guided us through our case very carefully and followed up with us at every step. I was referred to her by a family member that had an extremely difficult case but was granted GC in matter of months. Besides the exceptional experience the attorney fees were also very reasonable.
I am glad I was referred to her and myself would do the same with others that would need her services. Thank you for your help Micol!

I truly appreciated her encouragement and guidance with submitting the RFE response on my own, saving me any additional fees. I received my visa approval within 24 hours of submitting my RFE response. I would absolutely recommend Micol to anyone seeking guidance on their student visa application! Thank you so much, Micol!"

What a Sexual Harassment Lawyer Can Do for You
A sexual harassment lawyer specializes in representing individuals who have experienced unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, or other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature that affects their employment or creates a hostile work environment. These lawyers help victims understand their rights under federal and state laws, such as Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, and guide them through the process of filing complaints, negotiating settlements, or pursuing litigation. They also assist employers in implementing anti-harassment policies, conducting investigations, and defending against claims.
Whether you're an employee facing harassment or an employer seeking to address or prevent harassment claims, a sexual harassment lawyer can provide the legal expertise needed to navigate these sensitive issues.
When Should I Hire a Sexual Harassment Lawyer?
You should consider hiring a sexual harassment lawyer in the following situations:
-
For Employees:
- Experiencing workplace harassment: If you are subjected to unwelcome sexual advances, comments, or behavior that creates a hostile or offensive work environment, a lawyer can help you understand your rights and the steps to take.
- Retaliation for reporting harassment: If you've reported harassment to your employer and are facing retaliation such as demotion, termination, or other adverse actions, a lawyer can help protect your rights.
- Failure of employer to address complaints: If your employer does not take appropriate action after you've reported harassment, a lawyer can advise on how to escalate the matter legally.
- Constructive dismissal: If the harassment is so severe that you feel forced to resign, a lawyer can help you pursue a claim for constructive dismissal.
- Negotiating settlements: If you're considering a settlement with your employer, a lawyer can negotiate on your behalf to ensure you receive fair compensation.
-
For Employers:
- Receiving a harassment complaint: If an employee has filed a harassment complaint, a lawyer can guide you through the legal obligations for investigating and addressing the complaint.
- Implementing anti-harassment policies: A lawyer can help you develop and implement policies and training programs to prevent harassment and protect your organization legally.
- Defending against claims: If your organization is facing a harassment lawsuit, a lawyer can represent you in court or during settlement negotiations.
Hiring a lawyer early can help ensure that your rights are protected and that you take the appropriate legal steps.
What Does a Sexual Harassment Lawyer Do?
A sexual harassment lawyer provides various legal services depending on whether they represent the employee or the employer. Their responsibilities often include:
-
For Employees:
- Legal consultation: Provide advice on your rights and the merits of your case, helping you understand the legal definitions of harassment and applicable laws.
- Filing complaints: Assist in filing a complaint with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) or state agencies, ensuring that all procedural requirements are met.
- Negotiating settlements: Engage in negotiations with the employer to secure compensation for damages such as lost wages, emotional distress, or punitive damages.
- Litigation: Represent you in court if a lawsuit is filed, presenting evidence, questioning witnesses, and making legal arguments to support your case.
- Protection against retaliation: Advise on how to handle retaliation from your employer and take legal action if necessary.
-
For Employers:
- Policy development: Help create comprehensive anti-harassment policies and training programs to prevent harassment in the workplace.

How Are Sexual Harassment Lawyers Paid?
Sexual harassment lawyers typically charge for their services in various ways, depending on the nature of the case and representation:
-
For Employees:
- Contingency fee: Many lawyers represent employees on a contingency fee basis, meaning they only get paid if they win or settle the case. The fee is usually a percentage of the recovered amount, typically ranging from 25% to 40%.
- Hourly rate: Some lawyers may charge an hourly rate, especially if the case is unlikely to result in monetary compensation but still requires legal assistance.
-
For Employers:
- Hourly rate: Lawyers representing employers usually charge by the hour, with rates ranging from $200 to $600 or more, depending on their experience and the case complexity.
- Retainer: Employers may pay a retainer fee for ongoing legal services, especially if they require regular legal counsel on employment matters.
It's important to discuss fees during the initial consultation to understand the cost structure and any additional expenses.
How Much Does a Sexual Harassment Lawyer Cost?
The cost of hiring a sexual harassment lawyer varies based on several factors:
-
For Employees:
- Contingency fees: If working on a contingency basis, you typically won't pay any upfront fees. If you win or settle, the lawyer's fee will be a percentage of the compensation. For example, if you settle for $50,000 with a 30% contingency fee, the lawyer would receive $15,000.
- Hourly rates: If charged hourly, fees can range from $200 to $600 per hour. Total costs depend on the number of hours worked.
-
For Employers:
- Hourly rates: Legal fees can range from $200 to $600 per hour. A straightforward case might cost between $5,000 and $20,000, while more complex litigation could exceed $50,000.
- Retainer fees: Ongoing legal services may require a retainer ranging from $5,000 to $25,000 or more, depending on the anticipated legal work.
Always request a detailed fee agreement to understand all potential costs.
