Anna Shapiro's Reviews

Showing 1 - 5 of 5 reviews | Wrongful Termination

Posted by Alexander | April 30, 2024 | Hired Attorney | Wrongful Termination

Expecations exceeded

Attorney Shapiro exceeded all my expectations. My case was a wrongful termination and discrimination case, as I was laid off shortly after requesting PFMLA leave. During our consultation she validated that I had been wronged by my previous employer, and took the time to discuss the nuanced and sen...sitive aspects of my case. The whole process took several months to play out and she was extremely professional and communicative throughout. Where Attorney Shapiro really shined was during the negotiation of the settlement. She was in constant contact to guide me through as we rejected the first several low ball offers. By the time negotiations were through, we had a fair settlement! Thank you Attorney Shapiro!!

Highly Recommend Attorney Anna Shapiro

When I first contacted Anna about a consultation to go over a termination agreement my former employer wanted me to sign I was expecting little to nothing other than whether or not I should sign the document and what that would mean for me. After describing to her why I felt I was terminated and that... I felt discriminated against she suggested that we pursue getting some compensation. She was very honest every step of the way, she said that we should go into this process expecting nothing to come out of it but she felt there was a good chance of recovering some compensation. Through the entire process she was sure not to get my hopes up about a settlement in my favor including on the final day of negotiating with my former employer. In the end, the settlement ended up being 5x what we were willing to settle on. If you are looking for an honest and trustworthy lawyer, look no further! Anna went above and beyond what I was expecting in a professional and timely manner.

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.

Work Retaliation

I went with Anna because she made me feel as though she really cared. Anna’s assistant drafted u my complaint getting information wrong in the end all she did was say they promised o give me a higher position but it I wanted to move forward I had to pay her (Why would I want to pay you when you could...n’t get results working without pay). Anna informed me that f anything happened afterwards to lease call her back. Well to my surprise I dd, but I had t pay her a fee just for her to hear that. As laid off without warning after she told me my job would promote me! To make matters worse she had the nerve to send me an email to promote her Life coach business!! What a joke! Don’t waste your time with this lawyer if you’re a minority and wasn’t born with money!!!!
