Highly Recommend

Carolyn provided her expertise and guidance on my unemployment appeal. She was there with me every step of the way answering all my questions and concerns. I appreciated her transparent and fair fees. Thanks to her help, the outcome was successful, and I highly recommend her to anyone dealing with wo...rkplace issues.

Above and beyond

Carolyn was super transparent about the process, possible outcomes, realistic expectations, and most importantly the cost. She was able to resolve this in a way that left me satisfied. Super patient and answered my questions very promptly.

Incredible Expertise, Friendliness and Availability

I was referred to Workplace Justice Law Group through a top employment law firm that handled a settlement case did not do unemployment hearings. I was unaware that this was such a niche field and how extremely hard it is to find an attorney who is 1) covering this scope 2) available 3) well-versed in... MA DUI law. Carolyn immediately set up a consult, provided a SME perspective on the process, attended my hearing, and was extremely kind from the first email to the ruling. I hope I am never in this predicament again but if I was, she would be my first call. Carolyn worked for the state for 11 years, was a great coach/friend from start to finish, and was diligent in her strategies. We were able to successfully reverse my UI appeal and I received a decision from the state the next day. Thank you, Carolyn, I appreciate it.

Highly recommended!

After seeking legal advice from two lawyers, I decided to work with Carolyn Hunt to assist me with a denied claim for unemployment benefits through the Department of Unemployment Assistance (DUA). Carolyn is highly knowledgeable, confident, transparent, and fair about her fees. Her assistance and exp...ertise were crucial in overturning the DUA's decision in my favor. Carolyn's guidance made me feel well-prepared and confident during the two hearings. I am grateful for Carolyn's services and would not hesitate to recommend her to future clients.

I worked with Carolyn Hunt over the past few months. I found Carolyn to always be thoughtful, well-informed, supportive and helpful. She was readily available and prepared for our conversations. Her guidance was essential to navigating through a confusing and complicated workplace situation. Carolyn'...s experience and suggestions were critical in resolving the issue. It is no exaggeration to say I would not have been able get through the process as I did without her help and work on my behalf. Carolyn is a gifted listener, reads between the lines, has a high level of emotional intelligence, an appropriate sense of humor, balances the big picture with the tactical and is, in my view, real. I hope I never have a need to work with Carolyn again, but should I, she would be the first person I would reach out to.
