Meet Allison Mastrangelo, Associate Attorney of Pontikes Law LLC
Allison Mastrangelo joined Pontikes Law, LLC, as an associate in 2024. She is representing workers in discrimination, harassment, whistleblower, retaliation, and FMLA cases in state court and administrative agencies, such as the Massachusetts Commission Against Discrimination and the Department of Unemployment Assistance.
Allison is deeply committed to empowering workers and advancing economic justice. Prior to joining Pontikes Law, she was a Civil Rights Litigation Fellow at Bernabei & Kabat, PLLC, in Washington, D.C. There, she represented plaintiffs in breach of contract, wrongful discharge, discrimination, harassment, whistleblower, and retaliation cases. She also advocated for clients before the D.C. Office of Human Rights and the Virginia Employment Commission. Allison helped negotiate and mediate employment law matters, and she was a member of the pretrial team for a whistleblower case opposing racist police practices.
Allison graduated from Northeastern University School of Law in 2023, where she served as a Lawyering Fellow for Northeastern’s Legal Skills in Social Context Program. While in law school, she interned with the Greater Boston Legal Services Employment Law Unit and represented a Pandemic Unemployment Assistance claimant in a hearing before the Department of Unemployment Assistance. This experience inspired her to write a student note advocating for a blanket waiver of all no-fault, COVID-related overpayments, which was published by the Marquette Benefits & Social Welfare Law Review. Allison also worked on misclassification and wage theft projects as a summer associate with Lichten & LissRiordan, P.C. In her final year at Northeastern, she was a student attorney with Northeastern’s Prisoners’ Rights Clinic, where she represented a prisoner facing a life sentence for a second degree murder conviction before the Massachusetts Parole Board.
Allison received Bachelor of Arts degrees in Labor & Employment Relations and Psychology from the Pennsylvania State University. She lives in Jamaica Plain, MA, and spends her free time running, hiking, reading, and hosting craft nights and dinner parties.
