Outstanding Knowledge and expertise

I was dealing with a very complicated employment matter. I was searching for a lawyer and by luck I was introduced to Paul Morenberg. Talking to Paul for the first time immediately put my fears at ease and gave me hope that the impossible was possible. Paul was extremely meticulous in every aspect o...f my employment matter. He always made himself available whenever I would reach out with questions or concerns. He did not just represent me, he showed me he was in this fight with me ever step of the way. His knowledge and expertise in employment law is impressive. Outside of his knowledge of employment law, I was treated like a client he was fighting for , not just a client he was standing next to in a courtroom. I can not thank Paul enough for all his hard work and dedication. If you are looking for a lawyer to fight for you, I would highly recommend you reach out to Paul Morenberg.

Employment and labor lawyer | Aug 14

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I often think that the best endorsement a lawyer can have is an endorsement from a lawyer who was on the other side of a case. This is one of those endorsements! Paul and I were on opposite sides of a hotly contested employment law dispute and his work was always first rate. Paul did a great job for his client and I readily refer matters to him, knowing that the client will be in good hands."

Employment and labor lawyer | Jul 12

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"Paul and I landed on opposite sides of two recent wage disputes. In both matters, I found Paul to be very knowledgeable about wage and hour law, reasonable, and a strong advocate for his clients' positions. Paul took a no-nonsense approach to litigating both cases and undoubtedly saved his clients a lot money by working efficiently on their behalf. I would highly recommend Paul to any employer seeking excellent legal representation."

Litigation lawyer | Jul 06

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I worked with Paul as opposing counsel on a rather contentious, emotional piece of litigation that involved employment and contract issues. I found him to be a strong advocate for his client who was also professional and reasonable to deal with. He did a great job for his side while keeping communications open. Paul's approach positioned his client well while permitting the sides to talk and, ultimately, reach a reasonable settlement."

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I have worked with and known Attorney Paul Morenberg for ten (10) years. He is an excellent lawyer. A smart and an aggressive advocate who is also compassionate. I tried a case with Paul at the Massachusetts Commission Against Discrimination that concerned a health care employer’s failure to offer a long term employee a reasonable accommodation. Paul’s thoroughness and toughness resulted in an excellent result for our client. I highly recommend Paul for any employment related matter."

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"Paul and I were opposing counsel in an employment discrimination case several years ago. Although it was a difficult case, Paul represented his client in a very professional and highly competent manner. In my opinion, he achieved a good outcome for his client. I would not hesitate to refer individuals or companies in need of employment law counsel to Paul in the future."
