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 !

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.

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!

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 e...mployment 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!!!!
