A consummate professional who delivers results

After a sudden and unjust termination from my executive position, I was referred to Robert Hale at Goodwin. From our first meeting, his 40+ years of experience in Boston's legal landscape were evident. He possesses a rare dual mastery of both individual and management-side employment law, which gave him an uncanny ability to anticipate the other side's strategy. He meticulously guided me through the complexities of my severance negotiation and potential litigation, explaining every option with clarity and patience. His recognition as a 'Lawyer of the Year' is well-deserved; his counsel was not just legally sound but strategically brilliant. The result was a settlement that far exceeded my expectations, securing my financial position and professional reputation. Mr. Hale combines the formidable resources of a top-tier firm with the personal attention of a trusted advisor. I cannot recommend him highly enough for anyone facing serious employment challenges.
