Glad I did my due diligence

The first thing I have to say about Bruce is that he picked up the phone the first time I called him. I had reached out to an attorney provided by the Central Massachusetts Bar Association and called that person 2 or 3 times and never received a call back. The second thing is that on the first call... he immediately got into asking questions about my situation and then advised me on how we would proceed if I retained him. I had never been in a situation like this, so his experience and guidance helped settle me. This is not your typical walk into an attorney's office. Everything was completed via emails and phone calls. He did not waste my time with long drawn-out emails or calls. Everything was very efficient and succinct. We worked closely together and over the next 70 days or so he was in my corner versus a very large corporation with global presence, and he was able to achieve a favorable outcome. I was not going to do anything but was prodded by a number of people to at least do my due diligence, and I am very pleased that I heeded their advice and contacted Bruce. I recommend him without hesitation.

Excellent Severance Negotiation

Bruce does great work with severance negotiation. Highly recommended. Easy to work with and good communication. No BS.

Delivered Results

Bruce responded quickly, is knowledgable and provided results in the end. It is hard to find a lawyer who will take a phone call and provide some advice without being paid in advance. Thank you for not being like other lawyers in this aspect. I would highly recommend.

Attorney Matzkin to the rescue

When faced with a DUA denial, I felt hopeless. Taking money from my 401k to cover expenses, I didn't know what to do next. I reached out to several attorneys, each needing more money than the next, with hours of time needed to plan. Thankfully, I found Atty Matzkin, who in about ten minutes, simply s...aid I got this, you've got a case. During the hearing, after I had a chance to speak, he asked some clarifying questions, and within 24 hours, my decision was reversed. Thanks to Atty Matzkin, I can get back on track now!

Extremely knowledgeable

Attorney Matzkin is highly knowledgeable! He truly cared about my employment issue and what I had to say. I was devastated by the way I had been treated by the school department that I had worked for. He validated my concerns and worked hard to achieve a result that I was happy with. He brought to li...ght unfair treatment and held the school department accountable. He was always easy to reach and talk to. He could have charged me a lot more but, kept his word and charged me a more then fair amount. He truly cares about his clients and I highly recommend his services. Anne
