Severance Agreement Review & Negotiation

I found myself in an uncharted territory when faced with a difficult separation from a remote employer recently. The emotional aspect (shock and sadness that a solid career had been callously interrupted) was challenging enough, but the legal aspect was simply overwhelming – I was asked to sign a sev...eral-page long severance agreement under a tight timeline. Laden with legal jargons, the document was confusing, and I felt pressured. The Maura Greene Law Group come through favorably via online searches. It’s easy to make an initial appointment online and I spoke with Rob, the firm’s Practice Assistant, on my need to get the agreement reviewed. From there and very soon after, I was engaged in an open conversation with Maura on the specifics. She listened attentively, asked strategic questions that fully gathered the background, and suggested a path forward. I was very grateful for her willingness to take on the case, because it turned out to be not as straight forward as just getting a document reviewed. She believed that the company’s position was flawed and we were in a strong position to negotiate for better terms. I appreciated her steadfast support which truly helped me gain hopes to get through an extremely difficult period. Maura was very upfront about the costs and as the legal support commenced, I was given weekly updates from an accounting perspective at the task and hourly level. The transparency level was most assuring! Along with Maura, the firm’s Attorney Darshana Indira was also working with me. She was my point of contact on the day-to-day matters. Just as it was with Maura, Darshana’s support felt assuring. We partnered up as a team. Every step of the way, Darshana would suggest certain actions forward and asked for my input. She was open to feedback, made herself available for questions, was ever so patient and consistently responsive. I felt part of the process and we respected each other’s views. A setting like this is important to me. Within several weeks, we were able to settle on an agreement which not only protected my interests, but financially represented a much fairer package. It cannot be stressed enough how much Maura and Darshana made an unfortunate turn of events turn into vindication when the company's wrongdoings started coming to light one by one to their executive leadership during this legal process. Before long, our action started to demonstrate its greater value as catalyst for change as the company made a few major updates – which had seemed unavailable previously – to improve its working conditions and HR practices! For anyone looking for legal guidance on employment issues, I’d highly recommend Maura’s team. Even for a legal novice like me, their expertise had made it manageable to go through the process and attain a level of closure that now surpasses my initial hopes. As a grateful client, I believe you too will experience the personalized approach mentioned above with authenticity and transparency.

One of Boston's Best Attorneys

Attorney Green and her team worked diligently on my hard fought case that lasted an extended period of time. Maura was professional and extremely kind throughout the entire process. Attorney Green was thorough in her investigation and methodical in her execution. When I first met with Maura I no...ticed how thoughtful of a person she was. Every step of the way, I was asked "how are you feeling?" or "what do you want to do?" These actions go a long way during the strenuous course of litigation. She always had my best interest as the motive behind her actions. Another great attribute attorney Green exhibits is punctuality. From the first email to the last meeting, Maura was timely and responsive. She never missed a call, text or email. I was always in the loop and well prepared every step of the way. I would highly recommend attorney Green based on of her and her team's professionalism and sincere care for their clients. If I ever needed legal counsel again I know the first person i'd call, attorney Green.

An excellent experience

I consulted Maura Greene regarding a personally difficult and highly complicated employment matter. I could not have had a better experience with Maura and her colleagues. They were compassionate, thorough, strategic, and immensely professional in all ways. I felt I had strong and experienced alli...es by my side, and they were able to help me bring a difficult negotiation to a timely and positive conclusion. I'm grateful to have found Maura and her fine colleagues and to have had their help navigating one of the most challenging professional crossroads of my life.

Top Notch.

When it comes to standing up for your rights as a worker the battle may seem daunting , intimidating, or impossible. Maura and Josh empowered me from the first consultation . I could not recommend this firm enough . We all expect and hope for lawyers to understand and win our cases but this firm goes... beyond that by being compassionate with their clients , passionate about the work they do helping clients , as well as sincere in all discussions . You know you are dealing with people that care and take great care. I appreciate their hard work resulting in a favorable outcome in my case. If you are looking for counsel look no further !

Very efficient

Maura and her team were extremely responsible, sincere and ethical. I hired them due to unemployment issues where they were able to help me get through my entire process. They were attentive, respond quickly to emails and phone calls, yet kept me calm through everything. I would hire them anytime I n...eeded it again.
