Unemployment appeal made easy!

I hired Carolyn Hunt to help with my unemployment appeal. She made the whole process feel so easy and clearly explained what would happen. She advised me on my situation and told me what kinds of questions to expect. Her knowledge and expertise on the unemployment process was invaluble!

Empathy and expertise.

I reached out to Carolyn after being discharged by my now former employer to understand what my rights (if any) were, how I should approach the severance agreement presented to me, and how to file for unemployment benefits in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. During my initial consultation, Carolyn ...was thorough and transparent about the process; she showcased her expertise right out of the gate. She is up-to-date and well-versed in Massachusetts employment law. I proceeded to hire Carolyn to negotiate the terms of the severance agreement to be more mutually beneficially and provide guidance on filing for unemployment benefits. I'm grateful for her support during this particularly vulnerable time in my life and I would recommend her to anyone else seeking similar assistance.

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.

Jeff R.

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.
