Professional, Responsive & Knowledgeable

Highly recommend. Attorney Matzkin was professional, responsive, and extremely knowledgeable while helping me with an employment separation and DUA hearing. They prepared me thoroughly, explained everything clearly, and provided steady guidance during a stressful process. I felt confident and support...ed every step of the way.

Highly recommended

The way law should work! Employment matters that can be complex and time consuming, especially involving older workers, were streamlined and timely concluded with experience and skills rendering the Employer few options but to settle the matter. Great work knowing how hard to push. Highly recommen...ded!

Bruce got me the unemployment benefits I was owed

I reached out to Bruce for help with an unemployment hearing. He got back to me right away and clearly explained next steps and how much it would cost. His help during the hearing was crucial to the ruling in my favor. I would hire Bruce again!

I Can't Recommend Bruce Enough!!!

My company let me go without any severance and they failed to pay me my full wages on my last day per the MA law. Bruce negotiated a payout and was able to get me 3x my normal pay. He is honest, fair, and he checked in on me several times to make sure I received payment from my employer. Bruce goes a...bove and beyond for his clients. I can't recommend his services enough!
