Thorough, Personal, and Effective

From the first meeting, I knew Anna was a fighter. She was straight to the point, confident, and made it clear she was in my corner. Her team was thorough from the jump, making sure every detail was covered. Thanks to her and her team, my unpaid wages case got resolved. Definitely recommend Shapiro L...aw if you need someone who cares and knows how to get things done.

Employment Issue

I contacted Shapiro Law Group on Monday regarding a serious employment issue. I was immediately scheduled that day with a phone call with Attorney Anna Shapiro . After a brief phone conversation, I felt comfortable and secure in then scheduling a consultation to discuss my concerns more in depth. The... meeting was scheduled on Wednesday and I had emailed her all my documentation pertaining to my employment. She allowed me to explain in depth my concerns regarding my job and the pressures I had been experiencing while at the same time undergoing medical treatments. She asked me questions for clarification purposes but was quickly able to explain what my rights were and options I could take to protect myself. She had a solid grasp of employment rulesabd regulations and I felt a huge weight liftedthat I was speaking with someone who understood what I was experiencing and going through. I will definitely be back in touch with her if my employment situation dies not improve !

Severence agreement

Anna did a great job negotiating my severence agreement against an unethical company. I did better than I originally thought I would. She listened and was the only one who called me with updates directly.

Ruined my life

Hired. She didn’t listen to what you what-so-ever. No real form of contact. She ignores past clients. I felt like I knew more than her based on her awful legal advice. She does not tell you the full truth of what is really going on. She will ignore your emails and say they end up in junk after she is... called out for being dishonest and sneaky but will consistently reply on Avvo to random people. I truly believe she wasn’t on my side at all.

I am sorry you feel this way. Unfortunately, your assumptions are incorrect - I always treat my Clients with utmost respect and get them great settlements. I have always had (and always will) have your best interests at heart, just like with all of my Clients, who are very dear and important to me. I truly wish you all the best going forward!

Do not hire her

She was rude on the phone and was short tempered. There are much better attorneys out there who can explain the law without being so rude.

I am sorry you feel this way. Unfortunately, I don't know who you are, but definitely not one of my Clients. You called for a free advice, which you obviously received. I gave you my best advice during our FREE Phone Consultation, did so in the nicest way possible, explaining the MA Law and telling you that there was unfortunately no Case. So your statements and assumptions are incorrect, unfortunately, and I forgive you for that. I truly wish you all the best going forward!
