Expert guidance through a complex non-compete dispute

When my former employer aggressively pursued me over a non-compete agreement after I left for a better opportunity, I was overwhelmed. Jim Hartley provided exceptional counsel from our first consultation. His deep focus on labor and employment litigation, backed by nearly a decade of specialized experience, was immediately evident. He meticulously analyzed my situation, explained the nuances of Massachusetts law, and outlined a clear, strategic path forward. His recognition in employment law for individuals was well-earned. Jim’s professionalism and calm demeanor were invaluable during a stressful time. He successfully negotiated a favorable settlement without the need for protracted litigation, protecting my career and my peace of mind. I cannot recommend him highly enough.
