Employment Matter
Andrea represented me during an employment matter. She was fast to respond, readily available, provided counsel on settlement negotiations, and was compassionate throughout. Thanks to her counsel I received an excellent settlement that I would not have otherwise received. I would highly recommend Andrea for any and all employment matters.

A highly competent and hard working attorney.

I feel very fortunate to have found such a highly competent and responsive attorney and I would recommend her counsel without reservation. I received excellent legal counsel and was able to resolve my case favorably. She was very responsive to all of my inquiries, contacted me promptly with information about the progress of my matter and returned my calls promptly. I feel she represented my interests in a very professional manner and I would recommend her counsel enthusiastically.

Excellent Lawyer Effectively Represents for Your Interests in All Ways
Andrea Kramer provided excellent counsel and representation for me in a complex case of legal malpractice by a previous attorney. She provided knowledgeable, honest counsel on the case at all stages, she represented my position and achieved a positive settlement to the case.. Andrea is extremely well versed in law, extremely smart and equally well versed in the practical outcome of the law, the costs of trial and of winning versus the saving of reaching a settlement. She informed me of all options, her recommendations, why she recommended this and she honored all my decisions and cared them out effectively and true to my wishes. She always openly discussed with me the pros and cons any choice, she was willing to proceed in any way I wished knowing I was aware of all information regarding each option. She did not bill extraneous time, was very respectful in billing for her time which is rare. She was not interested in driving up her bill, she was instead both interested and effective at achieving the outcome best for me. Rare Rare Rare. I highly recommend her. In addition to being past President of the Boston Women's Bar Association, Andrea is an avid Boston Red Sox fan. I recommend that Boston Red Sox organization bequeath upon Andrea Kramer season tickets in recognition of Andrea Kramer's outstanding legal work representing law in the State of Massachusetts. She sets the standard of true professionalism, integrity and effective, excellent representation. I highly recommend Andrea Kramer if you are seeking legal counsel of the highest order.
