Unemployment appeal

Couldn’t be happier with the personal service I received from Carolyn and her team. I had a hearing where my employer was contesting my right to unemployment and it was found in my favor. Highly recommend!

Knowledgeable and Effective

I was looking for someone who knows and understands the MA unemployment system well, and Carolyn was just the right person! She was attentive and responsive, and helped me quickly resolve an issue.

Outstanding representation and support

I cannot recommend Carolyn Hunt highly enough! From the very first consultation, Carolyn showed not only a deep understanding of unemployment law but also genuine compassion for my situation. She was incredibly thorough in reviewing my case, explaining every step of the process in clear terms, and ma...king sure I felt confident and prepared. What really stood out was her dedication—Carolyn went above and beyond to gather the strongest arguments and present them with precision. She anticipated the other side’s points and had thoughtful, well-prepared responses ready. Thanks to her expertise, I felt supported throughout the entire process and knew I had an advocate who truly cared about achieving the best outcome for me. If you’re looking for an unemployment lawyer who is professional, knowledgeable, and deeply committed to her clients’ success, Carolyn Hunt is the one you want by your side. She turned an overwhelming situation into one I could face with confidence, and I am so grateful for her guidance and representation.

Attentive, Patient and Effective

I had the pleasure of working with Carolyn Hunt recently. She listened attentively as I explained details of my case and patiently walked me through my options and next steps. She always promptly replied to messages and was available to answer questions. Thanks to her she was able to negotiate a fair... severance package for me in less than a week and without stress.
