Ongoing strategic and tactical advice for a whistleblower

I discovered that some of the products at the company that employed me contained defects that would influence their reliability and usefulness. Attorney Leahey provided ongoing legal advice as I tried to navigate through internal departments such as legal and quality. Ultimately, I was forced to beco...me a whistleblower and report what the company was doing to the government. Once again, attorney Leahey was there for me, providing sound tactical and strategic legal advice. If it were not for his help, I'm sure things would have turned out much for the worse. It was my privilege and good fortune to have attorney Leahey as a valued legal and personal counsellor.

Excellent Work!

First I want to thank Brian for all the hard work he put into my case. Brian was incredibly knowledgeable, diligent and very responsive. I am extremely happy with the outcome of my case and would certainly use Brian again in the future if the need arose. I will also recommend Brian to anyone I kno...w that may be in need of his services.

Attorney Leahey is the best!

Attorney Brian Leahey helped me with a situation with my employer. Not only did he give me excellent legal advice, he also helped me to carefully review my options and make the best decision for me. Brian is an excellent attorney with a specialization in employment and labor. If you ever need legal a...dvice for an employment matter, Brian will be fair and thorough. He knows the law and he will help you through ever step of the legal process.

Excellent Experience and Great Outcome!

This was the first time I ever needed an attorney. Suddenly I found myself in a wrongful termination situation with a short window of time to find a smart, strategic, trusted and tenacious attorney who could help me net a satisfactory compensatory package. My former company was notorious in dragging ...out such cases for years until the person just gave up so I was very nervous about the fight ahead and braced myself for what I expected would be a painful legal process until resolution. And the exact opposite happened - instead thanks to Brian this was a virtually painless process. Huge thanks to Brian Leahey for being such a pro and really on top of his game. He really knows the intricacies of employment law and took a great deal of time to explain everything to me every step of the way. And he was incredibly responsive to all my questions and his honest straight-talk made me feel confident throughout the negotiation process. He really is a true partner to his clients and he really vests himself in achieving an outcome that makes his client happy. And, never did I feel like a meter was ticking when I called - Brian is really in it for the long haul and truly cares about his clients. I will absolutely use him in the future and continuously recommend him to all my friends and co-workers in MA.
