I'm not seeing where the complex has any liability.

From what you say I would be willing to put money on the fact that they are currently in the process of renewing their contract with the insurance company. They are not lying to you; they have every expectation that when the dust settles they will be in network again, likely with no break. They...

Just as an FYI, there are no circumstances whatsoever under which an employer is required to fire someone. What's more, the term, Hostile Work Environment, has a very specific meaning under the law and what you have described does not meet the definition. It's possible that if you were more...

Requesting a discount does not guarantee getting a discount.

And are you looking to hire Wilmer Hale or a small, 2-attorney firm in Southie?
