Introduction

At Zalkind I represent clients across the firm’s practice areas: criminal defense, employment, higher education, and appeals.

Prior Experience

I joined Zalkind as an associate in 2025 after a clerkship at the Massachusetts Appeals Court. During law school, I interned for the Honorable Patti B. Saris at the U.S. District Court of Massachusetts, the U.S. Department of Labor's Office of the Solicitor, and a civil legal aid organization where I defended individuals from deceptive debt collection practices. I also represented clients as a student attorney in the Access to Justice Clinic where I worked on eviction defense and denials of unemployment benefits.

Why I Became a Lawyer

I became a lawyer to provide guidance to individuals navigating complex legal systems and to protect people from the abuse of power, whether that be in the workplace, criminal legal system, or a university setting.

J.D., Boston University School of Law, 2024

I hired Mr. Duncan to deal with a very sensitive issue that my daughter had. Since the first contact, I had a very good impression of him. He transmitted confidence and appeared to know exactly what to do. I called and emailed him many times, he was polite and comprehensible with the anxiety of a father and appeared to know every step to solve the case. I strongly recommend Mr. Duncan. Flavio Lajoia

I contacted Zalkind Duncan & Bernstein to assist with a Title IX case. From our initial conversation, Naomi Shatz had a strong understanding of Title IX policies and conducted each step of the process with professionalism, honesty and a responsiveness that did not disappoint. Ms. Shatz displayed confidence and just as important, compassion when needed. Client

I worked with Emma Quinn-Judge and Monica Shah. And from my first contact on the phone, on to my first meeting in their office and during the trial, I found them and the firm's entire team to be a group of consummate legal professionals who are very knowledgeable, patient, dedicated, fair, honest and caring...

I am forever grateful to all the staff at this firm, but in particular, Ms. Shah, Mr. Zalkind and Mr. Silverglate. They represented my son who was being sought for extradition to Scotland. The case took years to fight, covering new legal ground, setting precedence. But each one of these legal eagles went above and beyond the duty of office... Suzanne D.
