Welcome to Balikian Law.
For twenty years, I have represented both plaintiffs and defendants in various civil litigation actions, negotiations, arbitrations/mediations, real estate closings and transactional matters. I provide my clients with a candid assessment of the situation and a clear and easy to understand explanation of the law and the practical options available. I am dedicated to aggressively and zealously asserting and protecting my client’s rights. I pride myself in being accessible to my clients and providing the personal attention and friendly attitude they deserve.
I concentrate my practice on all aspects of business matters, including formation, drafting and reviewing contracts and corporate documents, litigation, employer/employee disputes, independent contractor relatioships, wage and hour regluations, dispute prevention, mergers, aquisitions, associations, shareholder issues, financing, consumer fraud, and licensing.
I co-authored the 2008 amendement to the Massachusetts Wage Act requiring treble damages for violation of Massachusetts wage and hour laws. The amendment provides a level playing field to both employers and employees.
I also act as an advisor to start-up businesses, handle commercial and residential real estate transactions, landlord/tenant disputes, personal injury cases, miscellaneous contract drafting and complex negotiations.
If you would like to speak with me about your legal concerns, please contact me today.
