We called Mr. Bace to get a consultation on the legal proceedings, and the myriad of legal work being done by our own lawyer, which was growing to be to be very stressful and confusing, after our long time home was painfully auctioned off. Mr. Bace answered my call, asking thoughtful questions, with compassion and integrity. We simply needed a second pair of eyes to review the legal work being done with our own lawyer as these cases get very confusing and stressful. Michael used his own time along with Mr.Kulick, together clarifying respectfully our own legal matter, reading diligently our emails and many questions. Michael is a lawyer with strong integrity, truly caring about individuals, going the extra mile to demonstrate his passion for truth and justice. I highly recommend Michael! John and Joanne
I called Mr. Bace, he answered on the second ring and immediately had time for my question. I had a concern about an employment separation and explained my situation in depth.
Mr. Bace took the time to listen and to explain the situation was not actionable and the reasons why. He also outlined some follow up questions I should ask my employer, that I did not consider, and he offered to be available in future if my situation changed. He was very easy to speak with and thorough with his explanations.
If you have been denied overtime, denied wages, denied the payment of a commission, classified as an independent contractor, receive a 1099, or are otherwise mistreated at your place of employment - we want to speak with you.
I am a litigator; our firm handles litigation matters of various shapes and sizes, in State and Federal Court. Whether the dispute is employment related, debt collection matters, home improvement contractor disputes, or the pursuit or defense of other contract disputes - we have the capacity to handle it.

Great Attorney
Attorney Bace helped me with a wage violation committed by my former employer. He was very kind and listened to everything I had to say. He was very knowledgable about the wage laws and immediately contacted my former employer. Two weeks later I had a settlement check in hand which was 100% of what was owed to me. It was a rough couple of weeks with no income and three children to support. He did everything right and my family and I are very greatful! Thanks Attorney Bace.

Wrongful termination/Unpaid wages
Mike was a BIG help for me. Letting me know of the law against overtime wages. I wanted to make a statement, because I was a victim of a wrongful termination and unpaid wages employer. I will recommend him to anyone who has been a victim of this.

Dedicated Professional
Attorney Bace is truly one of the most dedicated professionals I have worked with - such a commitment to excellence. He is extremely knowledge and incredibly articulate. He kept me informed every step of the way and guided me with his expertise and wisdom. Attorney Bace always made me feel that my case was THE priority: he always took the time for me; promptly returned any phone call or email, and always followed up with written correspondence. In the end - the result was victorious on my behalf - which was a great result - but the true victory was in finding a lawyer that had such dedication to the case and his profession.

Mr. Bace is great with first time clients
He was everything I was looking for when I needed help fighting a relatively small suit. I wanted a lawyer that wasn't more than I was being sued for and I needed someone who specialized in fighting for the people and not just for the collection agencies. He was knowledgeable and let me know about what could happen, what would probably happen, and what we could do. I was new to to the whole process of fighting a debt collection against me and he was very friendly and non-judgmental.

Corporate Lawyer
I hired Michael Bace to form the corporate entity for my business. He worked diligently to understand both the nature of my business and the nature of my relationship with my business partner. Most importantly, Michael worked hard to help us understand the value of disassociating our personal and professional affairs. He was quick to circulate a draft operating agreement, and then very responsive to our questions and concerns.
Ultimately, Michael produced an agreement that is specific enough to address the nature of our business in its current state, yet flexible enough to address the needs of a growing entity that is constantly adding executive-level employees. Furthermore, he dealt with the filing process quickly and efficiently, which was an unexpected bonus. We are very satisfied clients and continue to utilize his services in several ways.
I highly recommend Michael Bace and would be happy to speak with anyone looking for legal counsel in MA. He is experienced and capable in many regards, and he is always my first call. I can be reached at [email address removed] for inquiries.
