My criminal practice includes trial and appellate matters in both state and federal courts where I have represented clients on charges ranging from drug possession and conspiracy, animal abuse, money laundering, obstruction of justice, fraud, tax evasion, and other white collar crimes, murder, and foreign extradition.  I have also counseled and assisted clients during federal investigations.. In my civil practice, I represent employees in cases in state and federal courts and before the Massachusetts Commission Against Discrimination (MCAD) and the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), which include claims of: employment discrimination (i.e., race, gender, disability, pregnancy, caregiver status, age), sexual harassment, retaliation, hostile work environment, wrongful discharge, and violations of the Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA), wage and hour laws, and whistleblower protection laws.  I also advise and represent clients in severance negotiations and other workplace conflicts to resolve disputes without resorting to litigation.  I have worked on behalf of executives and professionals in a variety of industries, including finance, law, higher education, government, and healthcare.. In addition to employment law, my civil practice includes civil rights cases and representing students in university/academic disciplinary and Title IX proceedings.

Lisa Parlagreco represents clients in civil and criminal appeals, and is frequently consulted by lawyers for guidance in appellate litigation. She has obtained success on behalf of her appellate clients in both civil and criminal appeals in state and federal courts. She also maintains a small case load of civil litigation cases, intentionally keeping her case load small so that she can provide personal attention to her clients and their cases.. Lisa often says "you never have to think outside of the box once you realize that there really is no box." That philosophy guides her both personally and professionally, and it is what guided her work as part of a team of lawyers who achieved the largest jury verdict in Massachusetts in 2019.
