Always bet on Anna - Tripled my Settlement in 2 weeks

I can't recommend Anna Shapiro and Shapiro Law Group highly enough. What started as a workplace harrassment case w/ a sad offer from my former employer turned into a massive victory thanks to Anna. When I first consulted with her, my company was trying to pass of what amounted to my final paycheck... and vacation pay as generous settlement. She immediately recognized this as an insulting lowball offer that completely ignored the claims. She didn't just negotiate; she fought strategically and persistently until the company increased their offer by 230% PLUS extended COBRA benefits. But her dedication didn't stop at winning the case. When my former emplyer insisted on issuing payment as a 1099 rather than W-2, Anna went above and beyond to restrucutre the settlement in a way that saved me approximately $2,000 in taxes. She absbored the larger tax burden herself while ensuring I received my full portion of the settlement with minimal tax impact. Throughout the process, Anna kept me informed, explained complex tax implications clearly, and always prioritized my best interests over the easiest solution for her firm. Her creative problem-solving and genuine commitment to maximizing my outcome showed the kind of client advocacy that goes far beyond basic legal representation. Anna transformed what could have been a frustrating experience with a vindictive employer into a decisive victory that provided real financial relief. Her expertise, persistence, and personal attention to every detail of my case made all the difference. Anyone facing employment law issues would be fortunate to have Anna Shapiro in their corner.

Professional and kind!

Anna fights for the little guy! Anna helped me with a case against a former employer with grace and kindness. The staff made this scary experience pain free while providing support. Very professional and responsive!

Employment Issue

I contacted Shapiro Law Group on Monday regarding a serious employment issue. I was immediately scheduled that day with a phone call with Attorney Anna Shapiro . After a brief phone conversation, I felt comfortable and secure in then scheduling a consultation to discuss my concerns more in depth. The... meeting was scheduled on Wednesday and I had emailed her all my documentation pertaining to my employment. She allowed me to explain in depth my concerns regarding my job and the pressures I had been experiencing while at the same time undergoing medical treatments. She asked me questions for clarification purposes but was quickly able to explain what my rights were and options I could take to protect myself. She had a solid grasp of employment rulesabd regulations and I felt a huge weight liftedthat I was speaking with someone who understood what I was experiencing and going through. I will definitely be back in touch with her if my employment situation dies not improve !

Great Results

Attorney Shapiro was excellent to work with. She got the job done quickly and exceeded expectations. I would highly recommend Attorney Shapiro for any wage or labor violations.

Anna's a winner!

Anna Shapiro responded in a timely manner, was up front about expectations and the intricacies of filing a suit in Massachusetts as an employer at will state. She still got the job done and was able to get a settlement that was fair in a short period of time. She also has a great team of supportin...g staff that were available when needed. I would definitely feel comfortable with recommending her to friends and family.
