Anna Shapiro's Reviews

Posted by Mitchell | February 29, 2024 | Hired Attorney | Wrongful Termination

Thank you Shapiro Law

Ms. Shapiro and her legal team assisted me with a wrongful termination settlement in Massachusetts which is an “at will” employment state. Regardless, I was not compensated appropriately and hired Shapiro Law. The case was settled quickly and fairly with very little effort required from me. Her team ...handled all of the details carefully and professionally. I would highly recommend them if you feel that you were not treated fairly in the workplace.

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 l...egal 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!

Prenuptial agrement

I contacted Shapiro Law Group to help me with a prenuptial document. Anna and her team are professional, responsive, and were willing and able to communicate with me in a professional and timely way. I am very pleased with the attention they gave me and am happy to recommend them for family law cou...nselors.

Excellence Service

Attorney's Anna Shapiro and Hajjah Kamara were very knowledgeable and professional from my initial consultation to its conclusion. I felt they communicated with me throughout the process and that they always had my best interests in mind. Working with Shapiro Law Group was a very positive and su...ccessful experience for my company in reviewing my contract concerns. Anna and Hajjah are attorneys with compassion and passion.

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 absol...utely recommend her to anyone in need!
