Legal Consultation

Please do yourself a favor and contact Michelle! She will provide excellent legal counsel and will guide and help you reach your goals. I was under a quick deadline to respond to my employer over an employment issue and she was able to help me express all of my concerns. She is very knowledgeable abo...ut federal, state and local laws and knows how to protect the interest of her clients.

Winning Team!

In my opinion, this is definitely one of the best legal firms in the industry. I have been represented by with the Alden Law Group in two EEO actions over the past 12 years. Michelle Bercovici was the lead lawyer in both of my cases which we won, thanks to her extensive trial experience and strong w...riting skills. The Alden Law team understands the EEO arena, and they are experts at navigating the ever-changing EEO process. Their years of experience and winning record are not the only reason to use this firm. They also have a birds-eye view on the court system and understand how to navigate small or large nuances that will help you prevail in your case. The entire team at Alden Law Group are very kind and professional and they will protect your rights. If you ever find yourself in a dispute with your employer, make sure you first contact Alden Law Group to assist you with your legal issues. Thank you, “Arabia” P.S. Shout out to Kristin and James. Thankful for your input and guidance.

Excellent & Professional Counselor

Michelle Bercovici is an excellent counselor, a skilled negotiator, and possesses a high level of knowledge in discrimination & sexual harassment cases. Her skills in depositions are amazing, in cutting straight to the issues. She studies her cases in-depth, & she is pleasant to deal with.
