I couldn't have asked for a better attorney. In a multi-year divorce proceeding where my ex was trying to keep my visitation with our child at 5% while running me through the ringer, Albert kept things under control and got me 50/50 custody. I couldn't have asked for a better outcome!

I would highly recommend Ms. McCall to anyone looking for an attorney in the Family, Adoption, Child Custody area of law. Unlike my previous attorney Ms. McCall is your number 1 advocate, listens to what you have to say, makes you feel like you are part of a team, gives you sound legal advice and keeps you informed every step of the way. She is everything my previous attorney wasn't, and because of Ms. McCall I now have custody of my 14 year old daughter.

Mr. Anderson helped me with my divorce. It was a difficult time for my family and I, but he helped things move along quickly and was very helpful and sympathetic to my situation. I highly recommend him to anyone and everyone. He's a very honest and kind man. Thanks for everything!

Dear Marcia,
I am writing you this letter to thank you and in particular Katie Kerr for her outstanding job with my divorce. Katie followed up every detail and ensured the settlement of my divorce was fair and equitable, I initially feared being taken advantage of by now former wife through the legal process, but to my surprise it did not happen Katie did an excellent job, protecting my rights and what remained of my assets. I am a professional making well into the six figures, and I can sleep at night, now that it is over and justice was served, and it only happened, because of her gift of fact finding and care to details. Marcia, I will always recommend your team and of course your star Katie to all of my colleagues when the need arises.
Thank you for everything.

After seeking paternal rights in three counties for two and a half years and two lousy lawyers I finally found Susan Witting. Susan and her great Paralegal Cindy went to work and did a excellent job preparing for court. Susan did an amazing job each time we went to court and kept me informed throughout the process. With Susan's help I finally have the shared legal and physical custody I have been seeking. Susan also got the court ordered therapy necessary to help our children heal the wounds caused by separation and divorce. I highly recommend Susan to anyone seeking help with Family Law issues.

I had the pleasure of hiring this lawyer a few years ago to handle my deceased mother's estate. Prior to her death, he assisted me with the purchase of her house and created a will for her at her request. He was also extremely instrumental in helping me with a Class Action suit that my mother had been participating in before her death; ensuring that I as her next of kin received the residual benefits yielded fro that suit. He also assisted me with becoming her Power of Attorney when she was no longer able to handle business on her own (as per her request).
I highly recommend Mr. Sorote to anyone needing an attorney who bends over backwards in an effort to make positive things happen and see justice served in any scenario. He masters all components of his field and gets results.

Robert Todd is the best mediator and negotiator I've ever come across. I've been through mediation numerous times before. Robert knows how to handle people. I don't think my case would have turned out the way it did unless he were involved. He put 110% in once he saw how much I cared for my child. He worked right up until the last second to get the best deal for my child.

I have taught my children that the single most important decision they will make in their lifetime will be their choice of spouse. Unfortunately, I did not get it right. Thankfully, there are attorney's like Patrice Morse to put your life back together when it falls apart during and after divorce. She will put your needs and the needs of your children first. This woman is a spectacular litigator, is well respected among the Boston area courts, and well known by the judges of Norfolk and Suffolk county as a respectable, highly trained and fair attorney. She takes the time to speak with you, learn your history, and learn the intense, important details of your marriage and why it fell apart. Most importantly, she cares. She cares about your needs and your children's needs. She is so easy to talk to and she knows the law. She does her research then goes to court and will nail your ex-spouse to the wall. She is a fierce attorney who held my hand tight as I sat in the courtroom waiting for a judge to decide the fate of my children and myself. I will never trust another human being like I trust Atty. Patrice Morse. If you are looking for a divorce attorney or for an attorney to deal with absolutely any post divorce issues, she is the one to hire. Do not waste your time looking elsewhere. She is the absolute best and worth triple what she charges.

Outstanding, detail oriented, above and beyond! I highly recommend Attorney Stasiv for your legal needs. She is more than an attorney, she is your friend and confidant throughout the whole process. She goes above and beyond to get the job done. She makes sure to cover every loose end, does research to get the answers she needs. I highly recommend her for her professionalism, organization and drive to get things completed in a timely manner. She represented me during a lengthy and difficult divorce, never failed me and pushed on with a "we got this" attitude. Superb!

We found Mary through her families law offices as we have had Tim Gergely as an attorney. Our family case was filled with outrageous allegations by the other party and truly alienating my parenting as a father to my two children(teenage ages). Mary was able to sift through the false allegations and really see what I wanted and what was best for the kids. She truly cares for families and children. Mary was always prompt with returning phone calls and emails the same day. She was always available for our questions and concerns and helped put us at ease with her knowledge and compassion. Mary truly cares about her clients and makes you feel almost like family. Mary gave great advice and always followed what I wanted about my case. She really fought for me and in the end I have 50/50 split physical and legal custody. If anyone needs an attorney for family cases I would highly recommend Mary Gergely. I cannot say enough of how great she really is. She is an amazing attorney.

I came to Bob with a very difficult situation, with a wife that had a long history of mental illness. Bob was there with me through the entire system, including both the domestic violence and child custody. In the end, my 3 children now live with me, and we are back in our former marital home. While the process with the courts took a long time, Bob was excellent about pacing this so that we did not waste what little resources we had. I believe he is an excellent attorney as is his partner Ms Knopf, and the entire office staff.

Mr. Diehl was exceptional in handling my case. Being that there were children involved and I was never married, paternity case, it wasn't something he dealt with often. There were a lot of agencies that came into play. Mr. Diehl easily navigated through every process to do exactly what was best for his client, me, and ultimately for the children. He is extremely ethical, straight arrow and will not let his clients step out of line. As a client I learned a lot from him. I also had an outcome that did not prospered temporarily, but permanently. The strategy he used made everyone live to a higher standard.
We went into court in 2006/07 and wrapped it up in 2013. He stuck with me the entire time that the other party kept striking. He had us endure til the end. I value his service higher than what the money charged could ever be. Why? Because 3 years later my two boys are honor roll kids, one attended Berkeley at 14 years old and the younger boy is in Project Lead The Way. That happened because the expectation he put in play for those boys parents were at a standard that he believed could be attained. My boys father and I get along great for the children. The orders were all done by Mr. Diehl. He is extremely knowledgeable in his arena. I can say with confidence, "best of the best". I feel I'm not even qualified to make a review on someone of this caliber. But I want everyone to know that credit needs to be due, he deserves that along with his assistant Susan Y. Amazing people.

Although I had worked with five attorneys prior to working with Mr. Guiterman, I never had an advocate until I hired him. Mr. Guiterman is not only knowledgeable about family law, he is a no-nonsense aggressive attorney that will do everything he can to help you. He has the courage to tell you when you are not on the right side of an issue and the skill to find the opposition’s weakness. He comes prepared to litigate, if necessary, and to give you the strongest hand in negotiation. While other attorneys seemed to be concentrate in creating billable hours, he focused on helping me efficiently and effectively as possible. Frankly, I do not know what I would have done without his assistance. I highly recommend him for custody and father rights issues.

Litigation is never pleasant in anyone's life, however, having had Stacy Ingle as my attorney during a 2 year family law modification case made it easier. Stacy has excellent attention to detail and is very organized and responsive. I trusted her completely as she helped me manage through a very difficult case. She is professional, honest, responsive and trustworthy. She was frugal with her time and I never once felt like she wasted time & effort to charge me more and always was concerned about my financial best interest as well. She seems to have good rapport with the legal community and always handles herself with professionalism. I would use Stacy again if I needed a lawyer and would highly recommend Stacy to anyone. She gets the job done and will not let you down!

The name William means ardent protector or guardian. And that is what you will get in Bill Hicks, not just an attorney but a warrior in court. Just a little shy of two years ago I walked into Mr. Hicks's office with a newborn in tow having been cheated on and abandoned. And like his name implies, his protective side surged forward. Although one of several attorneys I had spoken with, he was the first one that gave me the an indication that he truly cared about what I was going through and wanted to see justice done for me and my little boy. Mr. Hicks has walked with me every step of this long and arduous journey. I also have to say that he and Mr. Kyle Sharry, who helped in my case, were easy to work with, and always answered any questions that I might have without reproach or irritation-- they guided me when I was making life decisions that could have had an affect on my case. I can't thank either of them enough in their council. If the TV show House, MD was about an attorney instead of a medical doctor, I'm convinced they would base the character on Mr. Hicks. I would suggest anyone to consider Mr. Hicks and his team when looking into hiring and attorney.

I can't thank Mr. Evans enough for his guidance, direction and legal support on my divorce case, specifically spousal support and attorneys fees that were being requested of me. Mr. Evans was very determined in his strategy, secured my feedback, understanding and approval, then actioned it accordingly. Case went to trial and we were victorious on both items. Quick on his feet, found several discrepancies in court, during trial on respondent's paperwork; presented/argued our case and judge ruled completely in our favor. What a fantastic outcome. Thank you Mr. Evans, for everything.

Rebekah has counseled me in a complex, high-conflict custody case with dedication, professionalism, and consistently sound guidance. Her cool head under pressure and in crisis situations has been invaluable, as has her understanding of the dynamics of domestic violence. I have been impressed with the strength of her many advocacy skills -- in my case, Rebekah has been an efficient and clear drafter, a perceptive negotiator, and a thorough and tenacious litigator. The outcome has been successful in every court proceeding in which she has represented me, including a full trial. Rebekah is very responsive and is also accessible on a personal level. She brings to her practice a warmth that makes it easy to discuss with her family matters close to the heart. She has both a tremendous work ethic and a caring spirit. Highly recommended.

I consulted with a number of top divorce attorneys in MD (six, to be exact) since I was very aware that my divorce would not only be highly contentious but would also involve a number of subpoenas. My consultation with Heather felt far different than the others. I clearly remember walking away from our meeting feeling hopeful, but, more importantly, feeling like I was heard.
Giving earnest thanks is daunting. One hopes to choose words that convey the amount of gratitude they feel. My divorce turned out to be far more challenging than I expected and lasted nearly 18 months. Heather kept in constant communication with me, and she was beyond outstanding in not only explaining the steps of the divorce process clearly to me but also embracing my many emotional meltdowns, anxiety, and frustration with this grueling process.
Heather’s genuine devotion and compassion for her clients, besides her outstanding knowledge of the law, is innate of the kind of person she is. Her work ethic and remarkable professional representation on my behalf resulted in a settlement far more beneficial and rewarding for me than I could have possibly hoped. Heather was relentless and fought tirelessly for me.
I never write reviews but wanted to share with others the recommendation in which I was blessed to receive from a close friend, whom Heather also represented. I couldn’t possibly recommend Heather more highly. I’m forever indebted to her.

Shanon Quinley just finished my two year divorce process. She has been there to settle the case through mediation when my ex and I were getting along and she has been there to fight for me when that was needed. She is an excellent attorney. She is tough and straight forward when she needs to be and she is compassionate and there to listen when I needed her to be. I am so grateful I was given her name and made the call and decision to hire her! I couldn't have gone through this with out her and wouldn't have wanted to. Thank you Shanon!!! I just can't thank you enough!!!
Shanon is extremely professional and organized and personal and kind. I can't say enough good things about her. In the end my ex and I were able to come to an agreement and that I credit to advice and action from Shanon. I wouldn't hesitate for a second before recommending Shanon Quinley to someone.

When I was looking for a Family Law attorney, I wanted one that knew the law, would aggressively represent me and would fight to protect my interests. When I met Chris Piner, I knew I found the person I was looking for. He offered me great legal advice on how to deal with my case and actively pursued settlement offers. When these offers were rejected, he argued my case in court and did not stop until he had what he wanted and subsequently won. Although my relationship with Chris has always been professional, he makes me feel like a friend after each and every conversation. His confidence lifted the burdens and stress off of my shoulders. Hands down I will have Christopher Piner represent me in the future.
