Validation and Support When I Most Needed It!

I worked with Attorney Shapiro on an employment case. I was facing some extremely challenging conditions and at the end of my rope -- my mental and physical health were going downhill, quickly. I was in a place of being constantly gaslit about my performance so I was feeling really hesitant to seek l...egal assistance. When presenting Attorney Shapiro with documented evidence in our initial conversation (which was super thorough and still somehow free), she was honest about the things that weren't legally relevant and incredibly validating about the things that were. She was clear, she and her office were communicative and explained all answers to any questions, big or small. Honestly, it was also really nice to have a team of incredible women supporting and empowering me to stand up for myself. I'm sure several lawyers could end with a result like we did, one that was a compromise on both sides, but it was extremely important to me to have someone I could trust advocating for me. I highly recommend at least reaching out to see if there's anything she and her team can help with, they will be upfront about it! And I highly recommend working with her. Boring logistics: fees are on par, has good working relationships with other lawyers (did some research), great academic record, etc etc. but after speaking with several lawfirms/lawyers, I still say it's the other stuff that stands out!

Employment case

I recently had the pleasure of working with Anna Shapiro and the Shapiro Law Group PC. Anna and her team were extremely helpful in reviewing my employment case, analyzing the options available, and following through with executing the plan. I liked the fact that I was kept informed of each step in ...the process. I would recommend Anna and her team for any litigation issues you may have.

Just the right lawyer for the job

Anna couldn't have come into my life at a better time. I was going through an incredibly toxic and abusive situation with a former employee(one of the major medical centers in the region). Anna answered the phone herself when I called and took the time to listen. I went on to obtain a consultation fr...om her, and immediately felt at ease in the presence of her calm composed presence. After deciding to retain her, there were times where I remember feeling frustrated and wishing that she would be more aggressive, but in hind sight her composure and restraint were exactly what I needed with my case. Anna had basically gone behind the scenes and taken the time to understand the full weight of the situation I was in, and she knew full well that being more aggressive was a really bad option for me. Anna had taken the time to understood how manipulative, sinister, and evil the powers my former employee was able to wield against me given the institutions in play. Anna was able to maintain enough leverage to keep the wolves at bay and negotiated the best possible outcome given my situation. Anna's hourly rates are reasonable, and in my case that was really appreciated because the overall cost of my representation ended up being significant. The complexity of the situation required someone brilliant to go through every last detail with a fine comb. For me that someone brilliant was Anna, and she ended up being worth her weight in gold. Thank you so much Anna, my life wouldn't be the same today without you. If you hadn't been there when I needed you most, I'd still be picking up the pieces.

Excellent job

The team at SLG did an excellent job in representing me against my former employer. They are quick to get on the phone and go over matters, they are thorough and effective. I would recommend them without hesitation.

Unwavering Client Commitment Through A Complex Employment Matter - Results Delivered

The team of SLG attorneys, that took my case, had a measured confidence that was backed by their deep experience in the area of employment law and upheld with the results that they delivered on. I came to SLG during one of the lowest points in my career; having experienced an incredibly challenging e...mployment situation, which had taken a devastating toll on my physical and mental health. I felt alone and in need of a light in the dark tunnel that I found myself in. My SLG team not only illuminated the path forward, guiding me every step of the way, they upheld their commitment to my best interests with dignity and respect. Their empathy and clear communication allowed me to make decisions for myself that supported my goals in being able to move on with my life and avoid a longer timeline typical with a lawsuit and potential litigation. The accessible and transparent fee structure allowed me to get the support that I needed and engage with the team’s strategy; demanding justice for the situation that I had endured. While I assumed that I was not one of their biggest cases, nevertheless, I felt valued and treated as though I was. My SLG team was incredibly responsive and kept me abreast of any changes during the negotiation phase. Their multidisciplinary expertise across the team allowed them to maximize on all points of the separation agreement and settlement. I could not have asked for a better experience with a law firm. With the case closed, I have moved on with my life understanding that the true miracle in my situation was having SLG to skillfully usher me to a new life, free from the injustice that I had been tangled in.
