Aggressive Employee Rights Advocacy Across Massachusetts
Every worker deserves fair pay, dignity, and a workplace free from illegal bias, intimidation, and retaliation.

With convenient regional offices including their New Bedford location on Purchase Street, the firm combines extensive local accessibility with statewide litigation power. Boasting more than 70 years of combined legal experience, their legal team regularly goes toe-to-toe with powerful corporate employers, institutions, and insurance defense attorneys to secure maximum monetary recovery for mistreated employees. When workers need an attorney urgently after suffering workplace injustice, MA Employment Lawyers provides swift, unwavering support.
Fighting Workplace Discrimination and Sexual Harassment
Unlawful employment practices violate both Massachusetts and federal civil rights statutes, creating toxic environments that derail productive careers. As dedicated workplace discrimination lawyers, the firm represents workers before the Massachusetts Commission Against Discrimination and the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. Core discrimination and harassment matters include:
- Workplace discrimination claims involving race, gender, national origin, religious beliefs, age, and sexual orientation.
- Pervasive sexual harassment, hostile work environments, quid pro quo demands, and predatory supervisor conduct.
- Disability discrimination, denial of reasonable medical accommodations, and violations of medical leave protections.
- Severe pregnancy discrimination and unlawful retaliation following parental leave requests.
Wrongful Termination and Workplace Retaliation Representation
Retaliation is one of the most common and damaging unlawful workplace violations. Employers frequently attempt to silence workers who complain about hazardous conditions, illegal conduct, or fraudulent billing. Serving as determined wrongful termination lawyers, the firm aggressively challenges dismissals that violate Massachusetts public policy or statutory whistleblower protections. If you have been disciplined, demoted, or fired after filing an internal complaint, requesting family leave, or asserting your rights, their attorneys work to establish employer liability, pursue lost back pay, and seek emotional distress damages.
Recovering Owed Pay with Wage and Hour Lawyers
Wage theft deprives hardworking Massachusetts employees of their rightful compensation. The attorneys at MA Employment Lawyers assist workers in navigating formal complaints with the Massachusetts Attorney General Fair Labor Division and filing private court lawsuits. Their wage and hour lawyers handle overtime pay violations, off-the-clock work demands, missed meal breaks, illegal tip pooling, travel and mileage reimbursement disputes, and independent contractor misclassification. Under Massachusetts wage statutes, employers who withhold wages can be held liable for mandatory triple damages and attorney fees.
Contingency Fee Advocacy with No Upfront Legal Costs
Facing a well-funded employer can feel intimidating, but MA Employment Lawyers levels the playing field. The firm represents employees on a contingency fee arrangement, meaning you owe zero attorney fees unless they successfully recover money on your behalf. If you need to find a lawyer with a proven track record or want to hire an attorney recognized by Super Lawyers and Three Best Rated for litigation excellence, their dedicated team provides the focused trial power you need.
