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 recently hired Matt Karr and his team to assist me with getting Mass Health for my brother. I did my due diligence in researching many firms that just specializes in this area, and made my decision to go with Heritage and am so glad I did! It can be a very daunting and overwhelming process to say the very least and could have never done on my own. They are extremely knowledgeable of all the nuances and intricacies involved in the ever changing process of these laws! The ParaLegal Kelly is amazing and knows everything there is to know about Mass Health and the application process. She is very thorough as well as patient in answering any questions I had and I had ALOT! Whenever I was stressed she would put me at ease in explaining the process in a way I would understand. I would highly recommend them to anyone and look forward to working with them in the future!

Excellent Lawyer: Highly Recommend for Criminal Defense
I am extremely grateful for Paul Moraski’s support and expertise in resolving a complex legal issue I was facing. From the start, he was thorough, professional, and dedicated to achieving the best outcome. I was in a challenging situation that could have had serious implications for my career, but Paul handled it with skill and confidence. He successfully negotiated a dismissal with a year-long contingency, which allowed me to move forward with my life. I can’t thank him enough for his diligence and highly recommend him to anyone in need of a strong defense attorney.
Lastly, he was super easy to call or text at any hour to relieve me if I had any questions about anything, no redirection to his Office or an assistant. I found that to be invaluable, and I was surprised at the accessibility. He really goes above and beyond for his clients. I definitely understand why he’s a top attorney in Boston.

While on vacation in Boston, I was falsely accused of a serious crime, arrested, and faced with felony charges.
After spending the night in jail, I was assigned a public defender who was entirely unfamiliar with my case. Unfortunately, not only was this public defender incompetent, but he also lacked the appropriate credentials to handle a case of such seriousness.
I was facing a minimum of five years in prison, and my bail was set at $60,000. The public defender made no effort to fight for me. He didn't attempt to have my bail reduced or identify any weaknesses in the case against me. Instead, he simply agreed with the prosecutor and judge, and I was sent back to jail.
After three nights in jail, my family informed me that they had hired a criminal defense attorney named Paul Moraski, who would be visiting me in a couple of days.
True to their word, Paul arrived at the jail two days later. I was escorted by a correctional officer to meet him. From the moment we met, I knew Paul was the right lawyer for me. He had an incredible personality, was highly educated and knowledgeable, and held himself to a very high standard. For the first time, I felt hopeful again.
The first thing Paul said to me was, "We’re going to beat this case." He then assured me, "I am going to get your bail reduced from $60,000 to $30,000 so you can go home." Paul not only understood my case thoroughly but also knew the courtroom inside and out, thanks to his 14+ years of experience.
Two days later, I had another court appearance, and Paul was outstanding. He successfully persuaded the judge to lower my bail from $60,000 to $30,000, allowing my family to secure my release.
The night I was bailed out, Paul immediately called to congratulate me on going home. He reassured me once again, saying, "There are numerous holes in your case, and you have nothing to worry about."
Despite Paul's reassurances, I remained anxious about my case after returning home and would call him weekly. Each time, Paul answered the phone, and if he was in court, he would return my call immediately afterward.
Paul is an exceptional attorney, though not inexpensive. However, he provided me with a very reasonable rate given the severity of my case. He also offered me a monthly payment plan, which greatly eased the financial burden.
When it comes to fighting for your freedom, no price is too high. Paul Moraski was worth every dollar.
Six months later, just as Paul had predicted from the start, my case was completely dismissed.
If you find yourself facing legal issues in the Boston area, I highly recommend contacting and hiring Paul Moraski. He is not only an outstanding defense attorney but also a remarkable person. I feel like I not only hired a lawyer but also gained a friend.
Thank you for everything, Paul.

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.

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.

Pam worked with me across many years as a consultant during a very difficult and emotional divorce. She is a bright and savvy lawyer who was also very personable and supportive when I needed it most. Across the years she consulted, Pam was able to help me navigate and understand not only what my legal rights were, but also those of my daughter. Additionally, I appreciated her honesty during some very difficult conversations. I would highly recommend Pam as an attorney or consultant, and will be forever grateful for all of her support.

My referral to Pam Schaefer occurred during a very confusing and stressful time.
My original attorney, who had very ably represented me, knew that there were remaining issues after the final ruling that would necessitate ongoing litigation. He was not keen on this, as he had developed an antipathy to my ex-wife.
He suggested someone different, and recommended someone he had very high regard for. I was apprehensive, needless to say.
During our first meeting Pam succinctly outlined the issues. She also accurately, it turned out, predicted the uphill climb we faced. Never wavering, staunchly in my corner, she and her office shepherded me through this very trying minefield.
Yes, it is true: after a settlement both parties should be a little unhappy. Schaefer law kept my unhappiness manageable. Much appreciated.

Mr. Maguire is truly spectacular at what he does. When I was facing an underage OUI case I was scared stiff, but he was able to calmly look at the facts of the case and handle it with efficiency. Whenever I wanted an update on what was happening or if I needed to make an appearance, he was able to accommodate me and give me heads up. He turned what was essentially a life altering charge into a situation that I could handle and afford.

Susan Sachs is not only a knowledgeable, versatile lawyer with years of experience, but she is a compassionate, empathetic person who is ruled by an innate sense of right and wrong. Susan was the first lawyer we saw when my daughter made it clear that she didn't want or need a lawyer. It was Susan's personalized care that soothed her emotions and let logic rule. She facilitated the legal steps my daughter needed to take and guided her in her endeavors to find a good divorce attorney. We are forever grateful for her extra-special caring mixed with legal expertise that enabled my daughter to face existing problems and prepare for the future.

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.

I like to joke with Shehzad that he is too honest to be a good lawyer.
Shehzad is warm, friendly, honest, trustworthy, diligent, thoughtful, caring, and tireless.
He took on my first case against a big employer, and he went toe to toe with the highest price Boston lawyers, and he won. He handled their posturing, their threats, their aggression with calm demeanor and the facts.
Shehzad's fees were more than reasonable. His bills were always detailed, specific down to what he talked on the phone about, not just "phone call" items. He was amazing with his turn-around time, and often asked me question late into the night as he did his homework for the case.
Shehzad's practice is a family practice, with his wife and mother-in-law. Each has their specialities, so if Shehzad is not the best choice for your case, one of the other family members may have the expertise required. The practice is small and away from Boston, so you don't get the suit-and-tie salesman treatment and then handed off to a paralegal or a junior lawyer, but just an honest, wholesome lawyer trying to advise and advocate your case with conviction and passion.
I highly recommend Shehzad Rajwani, and I continue to entrust his advice on our business and other legal matters. I have had a half dozen lawyers over the last 15 years, but now that I have Shehzad, like a good auto mechanic, I won't let him go anytime soon.

Shehzad was referred to me by a friend of mine. Shehzad was wonderful to work with and very knowledgeable. He listened to me and then explained what the worst and best case scenario would be. Of course, I hope to never need to use Shehzad again because of the situation, however if I did need an attorney, Shehzad would be the first person I would call. I thought he was fair, honest and an all around good family guy.
PS, he is a PIT BULL. I am glad he was on my side and not opposing counsel.

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.

I hope you never need an employment lawyer to protect yourself against unethical employers, but if you find yourself needing one like I did, I highly recommend attorney James Kobe. He is a kind, honest, and an amazing human being who will help you stand up to those who violate your employment rights. When I needed his help, he took the time to listen and guided me to do what was best for me, even though that meant he was going to charge a smaller fee. That’s when I knew he was going to do what’s best for his client and not what’s going to earn him the most in fees. That’s a rare quality to find in a lawyer.

I was referred to Burns & Jain and specifically Neil Burns through a lawyer who practiced a different type of law. From the first phone call with Neil, I felt comfortable in my choice. He made what had been a difficult time in our lives easier. He is hard working professional who makes himself and his team fully available to clients throughout the process at any time. The Burns & Jain team are a dedicated group of individuals who offer thorough explanation at each step of the legal process and through their kindness help you to feel comfortable and able to see the process through. My daughter and I were in a horrible head-on car accident, Neil and his team were able to help both of us navigate the legal channels and get insurance coverage maximized for us both. I would highly recommend the Burns & Jain team when you are seeking legal counsel.

Very early in my career, my professional reputation and financial future were all turned upside down by the actions of a trusted employer. I was blindsided, unfamiliar with my rights and overwhelmed by magnitude of what had taken place. I just wanted to put my head in sand and accept the circumstances no matter how unjustly I was treated. I was simply frozen.
A family member insisted I contact Allison and despite my initial apprehensions I made the call and will be forever grateful that I did.
Allison was not only empathetic, but clear and direct.
Allison set a level of expectation and then exceeded it through her thoughtfulness, and attention to detail. I was so nervous throughout the entire process, but Allison made it a point to to check in and make sure she was alway in my corner.
If you ever find yourself in a circumstance seeking an expert attorney in employment law Allison should be your first and only call.

What a Wrongful Termination Lawyer Can Do for You
A wrongful termination lawyer specializes in representing employees who have been illegally fired or laid off from their jobs. Wrongful termination occurs when an employer violates federal or state laws, employment agreements, or public policy when dismissing an employee. These lawyers help clients understand their rights, evaluate the legality of their termination, and pursue legal action to recover damages such as lost wages, benefits, and emotional distress.
If you believe you have been wrongfully terminated, a lawyer can guide you through the complex legal process, negotiate with your former employer, and advocate on your behalf to achieve a fair resolution.
When Should I Hire a Wrongful Termination Lawyer?
You should consider hiring a wrongful termination lawyer if you have been fired under circumstances that may violate the law. Common reasons include:
- Discrimination: If you were terminated based on your race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age (40 or older), disability, or genetic information, this may constitute illegal discrimination under federal laws like Title VII of the Civil Rights Act or the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).
- Retaliation: If you were fired for reporting illegal activities, discrimination, harassment, or for participating in an investigation or lawsuit against your employer, this may be illegal retaliation.
- Violation of Employment Contract: If you have an employment contract that outlines specific terms for termination and your employer breaches these terms, you may have a claim for wrongful termination.
- Public Policy Violations: If you were terminated for reasons that violate public policy, such as refusing to engage in illegal activities, taking time off for jury duty, or exercising your legal rights (e.g., taking family medical leave), a lawyer can help.
- Whistleblower Protection: If you were fired after reporting your employer's illegal activities to a government agency (whistleblowing), you may be protected under specific laws.
Hiring a lawyer promptly is crucial, as there are strict deadlines (statutes of limitations) for filing wrongful termination claims.
What Does a Wrongful Termination Lawyer Do?
A wrongful termination lawyer provides various services to help you pursue a claim against your former employer:
- Case Evaluation: Assess the facts of your termination to determine if your employer violated any laws or breached your employment contract.
- Legal Advice: Explain your rights under federal and state laws and advise on the best course of action.
- Filing Claims: Assist in filing a complaint with appropriate government agencies, such as the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) or state labor departments, if required before suing.
- Negotiation: Engage in settlement discussions with your former employer to seek compensation without going to court.
- Litigation: Represent you in court if a lawsuit is necessary, presenting evidence, questioning witnesses, and making legal arguments to support your case.
- Documentation and Evidence Gathering: Help collect and organize necessary documents, such as employment contracts, company policies, performance reviews, emails, and witness statements.
- Protecting Against Retaliation: Advise you on how to handle any retaliation or further adverse actions from your former employer.
How Are Wrongful Termination Lawyers Paid?
Wrongful termination lawyers typically charge for their services in one of the following ways:
- Contingency Fee: Many work on a contingency basis, meaning they only get paid if you win or settle your case. Their fee is a percentage of the compensation you receive, usually ranging from 25% to 40%.
- Hourly Rate: Some lawyers charge an hourly rate, which can range from $200 to $600 or more, depending on experience and location.
- Retainer Fee: A retainer is an upfront payment against which the lawyer bills their hourly rate. Once the retainer is exhausted, you may need to replenish it.
- Flat Fee: For specific services, such as reviewing a severance agreement, a lawyer might charge a flat fee.
It's important to discuss payment arrangements during your initial consultation to understand how fees and expenses will be handled.
How Much Does a Wrongful Termination Lawyer Cost?
The cost varies based on the complexity of your case, the lawyer's experience, and the fee arrangement:
- Contingency Fees: If you win or settle, the lawyer's fee will be a percentage of the award. For example, if you settle for $100,000 and the contingency fee is 30%, the lawyer receives $30,000.
- Hourly Rates: Total costs depend on the number of hours worked. A straightforward case might require 20 hours ($4,000 to $12,000), while complex cases can exceed 100 hours.
- Additional Expenses: Be aware of other costs such as court filing fees, costs for depositions, expert witness fees, and administrative expenses, which may be billed separately.
Always request a written fee agreement detailing all potential costs.

- Performance Records: Include performance reviews, commendations, or any disciplinary actions.
- Correspondence: Provide emails, texts, or memos related to your termination or any incidents leading up to it.
- Witness Information: List names and contact information of colleagues who can support your claims.
- Timeline of Events: Prepare a detailed account of events, including dates and descriptions of incidents.
- Previous Complaints: If you filed complaints with HR or external agencies, bring copies.
- Questions: Write down any questions you have about your case or the legal process.
Being well-prepared helps the lawyer assess your situation effectively and advise you on the best course of action.
