Great lawyer and advocate

Katherine is a superb lawyer and tremendous advocate. I hired Katherine based on the strength of her reputation in Boston's employment law community and was not disappointed. I credit her with helping me find my path out of an extremely challenging employment situation on the best terms possible. ...She is an excellent negotiator and advocate. I never doubted for a moment that she was firmly and completely on my side. I highly recommend her.

Great Experience - highly recommend

Katherine has provided exceptional legal counsel and was instrumental in representing me through a difficult employment issue. I had interviewed several top employment attorneys in Boston and I chose Katherine. She is always extremely professional, sincere, succinct and has a great command of empl...oyment law. When working with her, you know that she listens and gets it. She is very thorough, responsive and has quick turnaround. Katherine also presents options and explains ramifications to facilitate making intelligent decisions. Since, I have continued to seek counsel when needed on employment agreements and have had the same great experience. I definitely recommend Katherine.

Unimpressed.

I was referred to someone else at her firm who pawned me off on Michon. She was clearly in over her head. She missed a deadline and misspelled my name on an important document. The hallmark of a good Atty is to be detail oriented. I fired her.

Great lawyer, great person - You want her to represent you

Katherine Michon is an excellent lawyer, her presence, knowledge of the applicable law, and counsel, have brought me through two instances in my career that both concluded in ways that could not have been better. Ms. Michon’s ability to look at the whole picture, push back in her manner, and offer s...olutions that were amendable to both to both parties were well done. Her advice in person, on the phone, and by email all proved to be invaluable. I cannot recommend Ms. Michon highly enough; and I would be remiss and not letting others know that if you require sound legal counsel, Ms. Michon should be at the top of your list.

A Superb and Fair Minded Attorney

I have hired Katherine Michon twice. She has never tried to talk me into suing unless she was sure that I have a winnable case. I like the idea of having a professional checking my correspondence. She follows arguments well, and she is a good listener.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
