Harold L. Lichten

What i can not understand is why attorney Lichten would not let me participate in a class action lawsuit. I tried to reason, talk, call, meet with him, but he seemed to have a certain set of prejudice and anything else to keep me involved. I still am not sure why. I wish i had been asked or questione...d or something to get to the bottom of it. I was a simple young woman trying to make my way into a law enforcement league in need of diversification in Cambridge Ma. I passed the required civil exam, three times. I waited and inquired and nothing. I had heard through some exam participants that a few in my case--who had passed the exam and seemingly had been removed based on race---were being called to a global civil class---with a settlement. Mr Lichten's firm at the time sent me a notice---which specified that my name was a on "shortfall list" of candidates who were to be contacted sooner or later in regards to the civil class action. I had great hope---that eventually after 1-3 years of waiting, i would be contacted examined or interviewed. Nothing came of it---- This is not an attempt to taint Mr Lichten's record at all. I have checked his records and i would say that nothing someone like me would taint or diminish the amount of greater cause works and achievements he has piled up over the course of 20 plus years in Boston. I do believe he is probably a well-meaning and honest man---I am certain based on all the civil cases i have looked and seen him win for the little guys that he is a super lawyer indeed in his capacity and an outstanding officer of the law and of the greater good. I just wished he had been more helpful kinder and more considerate with me. God only knows that good intents always outshine and supersede all of our bad ones. Always. In spite of all, of course---I'll recommend him!

HAROLD LICHTEN represented me in my attempt to obtain appropriate severance payment. I had worked for the company in three different countries with different requirements for severance for senior staff. The company was attempting to severe me and pay the minimum according to US requirements. Harold w...as capable of negotiating a settlement much more favorable to me, in a short period of time. His approach was always clear, balanced, realistic and timely. As important, his office staff were always very helpful and effective in our communication. I have no qualms about recommending Harold to anyone in a similar situation to mine.
