Employment Case
To say I was impressed is an understatement. From our initial conversation to the conclusion of my case attorney Shapiro was very thorough and transparent. Attorney Shapiro day one looked at my case and let me know it might be an uphill battle but there is a case and she was willing to fight on my behalf. As we went through the process of communicating with the opposing counsel she allowed me the opportunity to dissect documents to make sure I was comfortable with what was happening every step of the way. Fortunately she trusted me with my evidence and approach to give me the liberty to handle what was needed on my end, without steering me in a way she thought just fit her. Being as apprehensive as I was going into the mediation she was able to relieve my anxiety and be the firm presence I needed to reach the settlement we saw fit. Words can't express enough my gratitude and appreciation for her. Anyone in search of a lawyer who will make you seen heard and understood, I highly recommend reaching out to her.

Employment case
I couldn't have asked for a better attorney to represent me in my employment case. From the very beginning, they demonstrated expertise, dedication, and a deep understanding of the law. Their guidance was invaluable, and they were always responsive to my questions and concerns. Thanks to their diligent work, we achieved a successful outcome. I highly recommend attorney Shapiro for anyone seeking legal assistance in employment matters

Validation and Support When I Most Needed It!
I worked with Attorney Shapiro on an employment case. I was facing some extremely challenging conditions and at the end of my rope -- my mental and physical health were going downhill, quickly. I was in a place of being constantly gaslit about my performance so I was feeling really hesitant to seek legal assistance. When presenting Attorney Shapiro with documented evidence in our initial conversation (which was super thorough and still somehow free), she was honest about the things that weren't legally relevant and incredibly validating about the things that were. She was clear, she and her office were communicative and explained all answers to any questions, big or small. Honestly, it was also really nice to have a team of incredible women supporting and empowering me to stand up for myself. I'm sure several lawyers could end with a result like we did, one that was a compromise on both sides, but it was extremely important to me to have someone I could trust advocating for me. I highly recommend at least reaching out to see if there's anything she and her team can help with, they will be upfront about it! And I highly recommend working with her. Boring logistics: fees are on par, has good working relationships with other lawyers (did some research), great academic record, etc etc. but after speaking with several lawfirms/lawyers, I still say it's the other stuff that stands out!

Employment case
I recently had the pleasure of working with Anna Shapiro and the Shapiro Law Group PC. Anna and her team were extremely helpful in reviewing my employment case, analyzing the options available, and following through with executing the plan. I liked the fact that I was kept informed of each step in the process. I would recommend Anna and her team for any litigation issues you may have.

Excellent service from a wonderful team
Anna Shapiro and the team at Shapiro Law Group are fantastic. Going through a divorce is not easy, but they were supportive, encouraging, and professional every step of the way. Anna was always quick to respond or explain something I didn't understand, and she helped me get the best possible outcome (beyond what I could have imagined for myself). The service that Anna and her team provide is always excellent, and I highly recommend them.

Just the right lawyer for the job
Anna couldn't have come into my life at a better time. I was going through an incredibly toxic and abusive situation with a former employee(one of the major medical centers in the region). Anna answered the phone herself when I called and took the time to listen. I went on to obtain a consultation from her, and immediately felt at ease in the presence of her calm composed presence. After deciding to retain her, there were times where I remember feeling frustrated and wishing that she would be more aggressive, but in hind sight her composure and restraint were exactly what I needed with my case. Anna had basically gone behind the scenes and taken the time to understand the full weight of the situation I was in, and she knew full well that being more aggressive was a really bad option for me. Anna had taken the time to understood how manipulative, sinister, and evil the powers my former employee was able to wield against me given the institutions in play. Anna was able to maintain enough leverage to keep the wolves at bay and negotiated the best possible outcome given my situation. Anna's hourly rates are reasonable, and in my case that was really appreciated because the overall cost of my representation ended up being significant. The complexity of the situation required someone brilliant to go through every last detail with a fine comb. For me that someone brilliant was Anna, and she ended up being worth her weight in gold. Thank you so much Anna, my life wouldn't be the same today without you. If you hadn't been there when I needed you most, I'd still be picking up the pieces.

A Legal "SHARK"
No need to go to Boston to find a highly qualified attorney who gets the job done. Anna Shapiro and her staff will fight for you with everything they have. They keep you fully informed of developments as they occur, are always just a phone call or email away to answer any questions or concerns you may have and treat your case as a top priority. She brainstorms not only with her team but also with you to come up with the best possible result. Thank you, Shapiro Law Group for representing not only myself but my family in two separate actions, both with favorable results.

Good evening Michael, Today, FedEx delivered the closing letter and the refund check to me. Yay! It took quite sometime due to COVID and the office shuffle, but the end is gratifying. Thanks for working so diligently since you got involved to bring this case to closure. Looking forward to have Hoang's case wrap up imminently. Best Regards, Neil

Professional, responsive and ethical!
Shapiro Law Group goes above and beyond for their clients. The entire team is professional, responsive, empathetic and realistic, validating the experience that brought me to their office in the first place. I would not have been able to navigate such a challenging process without the support and expertise of Shapiro Law Group and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a team who will work hard for what is right.

Top Notch Legal Representation
The Shapiro Law Group WILL get the job done! We recently hired The Shapiro Law Group for Modification of Child Support. I had looked into and interviewed other attorneys but then I saw Ann Shapiro's video and I said, "that is exactly what our family needs". I contacted Ann and she and our family had a free consultation with her to discuss our case and how move forward. Attorney Shapiro and Kelsey Yoon were truly a Godsend. That sounds like just words, but THEY ARE NOT. Both Attorney Shapiro and Attorney Yoon Listened, REALLY LISTENED to our case, and came up with a written motion and eventual agreement that was exactly what we needed and was equitable to protect our Granddaughter and Daughter. They represented our family’s situation in a no-nonsense and professional manner and that is exactly what we hired them to do. I cannot adequately express our gratitude and encourage anyone in a similar situation with child custody and/or child support challenges to hire them. Attorney Shapiro knows the law and will fight for and with you! Thank you, Shapiro Law Group

Child support Modification
I initially contacted Anna in September 2020 when I was served court papers from my ex-husband for child support modification. I had no idea what to do. Anna walked me though every step of the way. These situations are not fun to go through. But I am very happy I had Anna as my lawyer and would absolutely recommend her to anyone in need!

Unwavering Client Commitment Through A Complex Employment Matter - Results Delivered
The team of SLG attorneys, that took my case, had a measured confidence that was backed by their deep experience in the area of employment law and upheld with the results that they delivered on. I came to SLG during one of the lowest points in my career; having experienced an incredibly challenging employment situation, which had taken a devastating toll on my physical and mental health. I felt alone and in need of a light in the dark tunnel that I found myself in. My SLG team not only illuminated the path forward, guiding me every step of the way, they upheld their commitment to my best interests with dignity and respect. Their empathy and clear communication allowed me to make decisions for myself that supported my goals in being able to move on with my life and avoid a longer timeline typical with a lawsuit and potential litigation. The accessible and transparent fee structure allowed me to get the support that I needed and engage with the team’s strategy; demanding justice for the situation that I had endured. While I assumed that I was not one of their biggest cases, nevertheless, I felt valued and treated as though I was. My SLG team was incredibly responsive and kept me abreast of any changes during the negotiation phase. Their multidisciplinary expertise across the team allowed them to maximize on all points of the separation agreement and settlement. I could not have asked for a better experience with a law firm. With the case closed, I have moved on with my life understanding that the true miracle in my situation was having SLG to skillfully usher me to a new life, free from the injustice that I had been tangled in.

Best Money I Never Spent
Most attorneys find a way to drain you....its kinda their specialty. Anna Shapiro told we twice in two consultations that I was on the right track and not in need of her services. Best $590 I have ever spent!!!!
