I am so thankful to have been referred to Jade! Prior to working with her I had lost confidence in the lawyer I had, so I started a search for a new one....the one I initially met with referred me to Jade and felt we would be a great fit and Jade had openings, as she did not. From the moment I reached out to Jade I felt more confident. She has responded to me from day 1 within 24 hours either by email or phone. She listened to everything I had to say, got creative with different options and had a variety of plans in place as back up to try to keep my original goal in the front of the priority list in the parenting plan. I worked with Jade for about 2 months and got so much accomplished that was unable to get done in 2 years- my only regret is not trusting my gut and finding her sooner this long process could probably have been prevented had I had the right attorney from the start. I would without a doubt recommend Jade in a heartbeat. Divorce of any matter is stressful but a high conflict one is even worse- the way Jade carried herself, the way she spoke to me, and the tone of her voice was all calming. I went into every situation with her confident, nervous as to be expected, but confident knowing the process and what was to be expected.

My name is Ricardo R. and I'd like to take this time to tell everyone about how much I appreciate the outstanding work Rezvani & Males Associate, LLC have done for me. It wasn't too many years ago when I first met this wonderful company; and at that it was by chance. One day I was going to a local/ national chain of a fast food restaurant where as I went to get a drink, I slipped and fell on a spill that was on the floor. Well needless to say the fast food place was quick to try to usher me out the door and try to act as if it was my fault and not give me the support I deserved. Well a friend of mine happened to have R&M's number and told me how good they were. At first like anyone else is was skeptical and thought these will just be some ambulance chasers and just wanted to get quick money and would settle for whatever was offered and move on to next case. Well to my surprise and actually opposite of what I thought of them before I met them; this team was very invested in first my mental health with making sure I felt comfortable with moving forward on the case to my physical health with making sure I received the best recovery care way down to not letting the big franchise lawyers push me around and treat me like I was just looking for a check; I felt they made the franchise respect me as a person first. Sorry this testimony is long but to shorten it up a bit; R&M hung in there with me until a respectable settlement was mutually agreed upon and I felt my dignity was not compromised in any way. This my friends is why I had no hesitation when I got into a car accident a couple years later the first people I called was R&M I knew I was going to get the same personalized attention and truth be told I feel the max when it comes to representation of my needs. All that being said I would scream at the top of a mountain from the bottom of my lungs in support of Rezvani & Males Associate, LLC.

Hire her. Hire her. Hire her. She will meet and surpass all of your expectations. This was my first experience working with a lawyer and I am extremely pleased with my experience. It’s never fun to be in a situation where a lawyer is needed but having the right lawyer on your side is extremely crucial. I never once questioned if I made the right decision in lawyers. She really listened every time I expressed concern about something and always worked through things with me in a way I always fully understood and was 100% comfortable with. My case was regarding child custody and child support and it felt like I had a great friend on my side defending my rights. It was always refreshing to speak with her and I always left our meetings and conversations confident in my situation. I am actually a little saddened that we will no longer be in communication, as my case has come to an end (in my favor, I might add). Jade is always extremely professional but personable and has never once made me feel incompetent, even when asking questions that had obvious answers. Hire her, you will NOT regret it!

Patrick Curley is simply amazing! We were in the process of applying for Mass Health for our 98 year old mom who had recently been admitted to a nursing home facility and we ran into issues with a family trust. Patrick had reviewed the trust for us a few years prior to this admission and we were very pleased with his work. We didn't hesitate to reach out to him for his help. This was the best decision we could have made. From the moment we explained what the issues were he was on board. He took the pressure and stress of this daunting process away and went to work. He is so easy to work with and understanding in so many ways. He is a true professional in every sense of the word. Always there if you need him to answer questions or give advice. Thanks to Patrick we were successful in getting our mom approved for Mass Health. I am certain that without Patrick's help this may not have been the outcome. Thank you so much Patrick for everything! Joyce, Janice and Linda

We had a relatively complex estate issue surrounding a living trust and it was clear to see that we needed urgent help. Thankfully, we found the law office of Patrick Hurley who specializes in elder care and MassHealth Insurance. He and his team have been outstanding in the way they were able to handle our situation and put our minds at ease right from our first phone call with Deb Tura. After multiple calls and remote meetings (due to covid-19) Patrick and his team helped us to understand the cumbersome process in order to obtain MassHealth Insurance for our Mom. Without their help, knowledge and guidance, we would still be struggling - and in the wrong direction! Not only did he get our Mom on MassHealth, but he also negotiated a very substantial discount with the nursing home due to a one month gap difference in coverage. Professional, caring and extremely knowledgeable is the best way I can honestly describe Patrick Hurley and his team. We couldn't be more pleased with our experience. If you need elder care help, or MassHealth Insurance, Patrick Curley and his team are the answers. You won't be disappointed!! We would like to Thank the entire Curley Law Firm for your time, effort, support and help throughout the MassHealth process for our mother. Sincerely, The Lotti Family

Patrick and the team at Curley are amazing! From my early inquiries with Debbie all the way to the finish line their assistance was always generous, thoughtful, and considerate. My 77 year old mom lives at home alone and is having health issues. With the Curley teams help we got her estate planning done and got her on MassHealth. She now gets care through the state for 20 hours a day. It was a struggle to get the overnight care in place but Curley advocated for our family and my mom and now we can be sure that she is being cared for and her future at her own home is secure.

When my parents first hired Attorney Tricia Shumaker to prepare their estate plan, they had no idea they were running out of time and on the precipice of needing far more than estate planning. Within a few weeks of working with Tricia, unexpectantly, my father became gravely ill. Fortunately, they picked the right attorney! Tricia came to the house for the convenience of my 90+ year old parents. She patiently and compassionately listened to my parents’ wishes, asking questions, attending to all the details, and making sure that she fully understood my parents’ goals and that they understood her role. She explained to my parents all the financial issues they were faced with and provided prudent guidance through these complicated decisions. Tricia and her team went into immediate action, creating all legal documents, including wills, power of attorneys, health care proxies, trust and all the legal work behind these documents, all completed in record time. Goal accomplished! Tricia’s command of Elder Law, Estate Planning and the Massachusetts legal and Medicaid health systems is second to none. Then, when my mother could no longer remain at home alone, Tricia worked her magic again, successfully navigating the Massachusetts legal and medical systems with huge success. Throughout the entire complex process, Tricia explained each detail/nuance, of which there were many, making sure I fully understood each step. This was a difficult time for us, yet she was stalwart, persistent, professional, and successful in settling our mother in an appropriate nursing facility. Another goal accomplished! Tricia is very precise, professional, thoughtful, compassionate, and thorough. She is a brilliant elder law and estate planning attorney. I have 1000% trust and confidence in Tricia and 1000% recommend her services.

After attending seminars for quite awhile, I decided, over 4 years ago, to shop for an Estate Planning and Elder Law Attorney. A friend recommended Attorney Shumaker. When I called her, she offered me a free consultation. The moment I met her, I was struck by her knowledge and also her kindness and patience. I knew she was the attorney that I should chose to help me navigate the world of estate planning and guide me through many difficult decisions. It has been a pleasure to work with Attorney Shumaker over these last 4 years. She is a gifted attorney. Her knowledge of the complex field of Elder Law and Estate Planning is impressive. But she is always able to break down the complexity in an easy understandable way. In addition, she is quick to respond to any question I have, she gives me confidence and peace of mind. She is always calm. I am very thankful I have Patricia Shumaker as my attorney and I envision our relationship to continue through the many years ahead.

My sister and I worked with Robin Gorenberg on our respective wills, trusts, powers of attorney, and health care proxies. Robin was extremely helpful and happy to assist with our multiple questions. It can be a very intimidating process of getting these documents in place and we felt so comfortable working with Robin. I appreciate that she took the time to educate us on what each document meant and the importance of the language. We had Robin look at our parent's documents (prepared by another law firm) and Robin was able to assist in making us understand the documents. My parents were so appreciative. I feel comfortable and confident knowing that all our documents are in order. I could not be prouder to recommend Robin, she is outstanding!

Benefits . Till the day the case was settled a year later and a settlement followed . Joe is always extremely professional and knowledgeable.

Marc Breakstone provided more comfort and a peace of mind than I could have ever imagined. A little over a year ago, I was in a very serious taxi accident as a passenger- and almost 5 months pregnant. I was petrified for the health of my baby. I was completely overwhelmed with having to undergo a spinal fusion because my back was broken over several L sections. And I had an 11 month old at home that I could no longer take care of on my own. We had literally just bought a house 5 months before, and that accident literally caused my family's world to crumble. And if you are in a similar boat, you can relate- I have never felt so helpless and depressed, I needed to find a lawyer ASAP that I could trust with the well being and future security of my family. I was literally boggled of where to begin, as I have never been involved in a law suit before. And insurance contracts/ lingo/ etc was just so foreign to me. I found 4 lawyers total that I read reviews on from the internet OR was recommended by family friends. I found Marc on some Google search- and that made me a tad nervous because I am a little more "old school" than that. However, I called his office and after speaking to him directly ( which was literally about 5 min after I called, he returned my message )....I instantly felt at ease with him. There is something about his personality that is very direct, yet patient with explaining options/ the law/ advice. Marc was also willing to talk to my husband and a family friend who has legal background from another state trying to help me. So, I conservatively met with him and 3 other lawyers in person, and Marc was the only one I felt was both "down to earth" and at the same time extremely aggressive/passionate when it came to ensuring that my claim was heard properly by the parties concerned. We chose Marc to represent me, and I am SO HAPPY we did. Let me tell you this- If you want somebody that is approachable- choose Marc. If you want someone who will fight for you like he has known you for your whole life, choose Marc. And if you understand that you need someone who is that bit aggressive/confident in making his point, on your behalf, choose Marc. My husband felt that Marc would be a "lion in the ring " for us. Also, I want to add that I live in NYC...I was hit in MA during a weekend away. So I was nervous having the distance away from someone who is representing me. If by chance that is you- dont worry about it. Marc is literally so accessible. I also dont feel like I could write this review without mentioning- Christine Roberts. Marc's executive assistant is a rock star. She reflects his standards of extreme professionalism with a streak of warmth. I could keep writing about all the positive experiences I had along the way with Marc, but I will sum it up this way. A very hormonal pregnant woman, with a baby at home, was hit by a taxi and had to undergo a 7 hour spinal fusion surgery, learn how to walk again, and deal with the pain of the accident/surgery thoughout her pregnancy while accepting the fact she could no longer lift her one year old at home, bathe him, clean up after him etc. ** I am writing this review about one year from the accident and post settlement. I am still so incredibly emotional about that night and everything that happened....But I am still a bit proud that during this complete disaster and at times, what I honestly thought was depression and a breakdown mentally, I was still able to see that Marc would fight for me. And he did. And he will for you. He is just so passionate about his job...and you will come to see glimpses of his personal life that you know this is just a good guy. I look at my daughter now and I thank god for my neuro team, my OB team, and my lawyer. While my doctors really provided such wonderful physical care...Marc was really there as a rock- I let put all my anxiety on his shoulders and he delivered back a secure future. He will forever be part of our family story now.

I hired Marc after another lawyer wasn't really spending the time or attention to my case that I felt comfortable with. When I spoke to Marc the very first time on the phone, I thought, "This guy is tough and attentive!" From our first conversation until the successful outcome of my mediations and settlement, I could not have asked for better, more thorough, and tough representation. I read a review on this very site and that lead me to Marc Breakstone. The positive things people say are right on the money. He told me to focus on my healing and health and leave the lawyering to him. I needed that assurance because I had 5 surgeries in just over a year, and was dealing with disability for the first time and I was in an enormous amount of pain. His strength allowed me to let it go and focus on my health. The case was settled in mediation and it was a very positive outcome. Thank you Marc, Christine Roberts and Reza Breakstone. I am forever grateful for your hard work, expertise and dedication. I would recommend you to anyone that needed representation after an injury and facing big insurance. You gave a voice and a face to my case and you made them look at the facts. Grateful.

I want to thank you for listening to my situation and giving me a better understanding of my options and possible outcomes. You are a very sincere lawyer that I can tell takes pride in helping his clients through trying times. Just for you to take the time to let me know the status of my case without being under any retainer or any obligation to inform me is very greatly appreciated. My own attorney has not informed me of the status and I have called to find out and have not received any reply yet. I have had to hire many lawyers over the years to represent me for different reasons and I must say that 90% of them have left me uninformed and put little effort in my case. I would never even consider using anyone but you to represent me if the need arises in the future. You are truly the real deal. Thank you again

Not overstating when I say that Atty Dmitry Lev helped me at a point in my life when I didn't think anything could be done concerning a Bankruptcy. His steady demeanor, and very professional style immediately put me at ease. There wasn't one time when I asked a question that he didn't have the answer. Everything was explained in detail. I never felt that I was being rushed or otherwise treated in an offhanded way. Fees were explained very clearly. I'll also add I felt the fees were quite reasonable. Once work started on my case, I felt somewhat at ease for the 1st time in a long time.

I highly recommend Mark Szal as an attorney. I am very happy with the outcome of the agreement he negotiated for me. He was always on point, on his game, and always stayed in communication with me. He is extremely detail-orientated and knows the law inside and out. He’s also a very skilled and experienced negotiator—he is who you want on your side! He also made me feel heard, which few attorneys do. I never, not once, felt like just another case; instead I felt like he was on my team, and he was! If you have a dispute with your employer you better call Szal!

I could not have had a better attorney. Ray and his staff were very honest from the very beginning. Ray was able too secure a good settlement for me. But, this was not about the money for me. This was about keeping my honor and integrity, this was about being treated unfairly and working in an environment that was very hostile simply because I am a person of color. This employer allowed and condones this culture that has always been and norm for this institution. This was about trying to change the culture because this type of racially discriminatory behavior should not be acceptable. Ray understood this and he never tried to convince met do anything that I did not believe was right. Ray truly cared about what this fight meant to me. If you are looking for a lawyer that will always be honest with you, genuinely care about your opinion, and what you think? I highly recommend and cannot encourage you enough to reach out to Attorney Raymond Dinsmore. There is no attorney that will work harder representing you.

I had the privilege of working with Paul Lees, and I am compelled to highlight his exceptional legal expertise, integrity, and dedication. Throughout the process, Paul demonstrated a profound understanding of the law, leaving no stone unturned in gathering crucial facts for my case. What truly set Paul apart was his fearless confrontation of a deceitful opposing party. Armed with factual evidence, Paul adeptly and skillfully handled the lies, showcasing a level of integrity that was not only reassuring but instrumental in navigating the proceedings. In addition to his meticulous approach, Paul went above and beyond, emailing me early mornings and late nights to ensure no detail was overlooked. This tireless effort played a crucial role in securing a favorable outcome. I am still amazed at how Paul handled the deceit, making him an even more invaluable asset in the complexities of the legal system. I wholeheartedly recommend Paul to anyone seeking legal representation. Thank you, Paul, for your exceptional service and for winning my case.

Paul Lees was recommended to us after my husband was in a horrific motorcycle accident that basically left him broken from head to toe. We have never filed a lawsuit and had no idea where to begin or what to expect. Paul walked us thru every step of the way. He put together an amazing case and helped us reach a settlement we are comfortable with. I’m not sure where we would be without Paul right now. He helped us feel at ease through one of the most difficult times in our lives and we will be forever grateful. I would definitely hire Paul if the need ever arises again and will highly recommend him to anyone that may need his services.

One of the luckiest days I have ever had in this blessed and inspiring country was when I decided to consult attorney Stephanie Marzouk about my immigration case. Prior to reaching out to her, I had been undergoing an extremely stressful and difficult time because I had to stop working in respect of the American law, and, consequently, I ended up jeopardizing the economic security of my kids, and unable to pay my monthly bills. My previous EAD had already expired before I got the second one which I applied for a few months earlier. In a nutshell, my whole course of life changed over a period of four weeks. I sat with Ms Marzouk in her office to look at my case on Feb.2nd; on March 3rd, the latest update on my daily changing USCIS online accounts reads “On March 3rd,2022,we mailed your new card for your Form I-765, Application for Employment Authorization,..” !! For hundreds of clients, Stephanie stands for hope, optimism and peace of mind. When talking to her, you feel you are talking to a family member. She listens to you from her heart and she comes up with the most creative and effective solutions to your case. In addition to this, Stephanie is well-respected in her law community and has a wide and rich network of relations. Last but not least, Marzouk Law Firm uses smart communication tools that aim at keeping you informed and updated. The location of the Office is also convenient and easily accessible at Massachusetts Avenue, one of Cambridge’s famous and broadest roads in Greater Boston. Getting in touch with attorney Stephanie Marzouk is the best and most reliable decision you can ever take when embarking on your immigration journey, a journey that applicants find very challenging and daunting to navigate by themselves.

After talking with Tim , I subsequently switched to Tim’s law group. Tim had to take on a WELL established Massachusetts law firm which could be intimidating; he was definitely up for this tough challenge. Other lawyers would not take this case after my previous lawyer’s handling and were afraid of losing this case. Tim was different, he wanted to help right a wrong as best as he could knowing what was being handed to him. It was quickly apparent that Tim took his job to heart unlike my previous lawyer. Tim put the opposition law firm on notice that he was about the business of winning my case and not losing. Tim had a tough challenge because he had to rectify the mess made by previous lawyer who had my case on track to be a loss. The best way to summarize how Tim handled my case could be explained by using terminology from the 1960s Batman TV series. In response to Tim’s introduction and demand letter to the opposition, Tim was hit with a response that was a BOOM. Tim responded and hit back with a KA-BOOM. Next time they hit Tim with a POW and Tim responded with a POW-POW; Tim did NOT back down. Tim worked hard and fought hard for my case. He kept me informed with every step of my case unlike my previous lawyer. He was honest with and didn’t sugarcoat what I needed to hear about my case. He did a hell of a good job with my case considering the mess he had to work with. I would absolutely recommend the Upper Charles Law Group as my experience was absolutely pleasurable with this law group. You will get a team of qualified lawyers who will fight for you and be honest with you, don’t hesitate to hire this law firm.

Getting divorced is never easy, but with a lawyer like David Gabriel by your side, it can be swift and painless. As an attorney myself, I know how difficult it can be to work with high-maintenance clients, but David has the patience of a saint and answered all of my calls, texts, and questions along the way. His communication was exceptional, far surpassing my expectations. When it came down to the terms of divorce, custody issues and child support, David’s experience in this field was invaluable. Issues like child support and alimony will impact a household for many years after a divorce is finalized, and David had the foresight to prepare for my future both financially and with regard child custody issues. He negotiated tirelessly with opposing counsel and completed my divorce, from filing to finalization, in less than one year. Thank you, David!!

When I was looking for someone to help me with my legal matters, I talked to several top-notch lawyers. Each had their strengths, but none seemed very impressive. However, everything changed when I had a case evaluation with Michael. After talking with him for a while, I realized he was different. He knew more about the laws than the others did. He carefully listened to what I was going through and gave me clear advice. It was like he had a detailed map of the law in his head and could quickly guide me on the right path using his experience and brilliance. Michael is very familiar with laws, and the way he applies his knowledge is remarkable. What stood out to me was how kind and attentive Michael was. While other lawyers seemed busy or distracted, Michael gave me his full attention every time we talked. It felt like he treated my problems as if they were his own. He wasn't just doing his job; he genuinely wanted to help. Lawyers sometimes use sneaky tactics, especially in divorce cases. But not Michael. He was always upfront with me. He is very honest, and I think this earns him a lot of respect in court. Because of his honesty and good reputation, people in courtrooms pay attention when he speaks. I also discovered that he's well-known in the legal community, and many lawyers in Massachusetts recognize Michael. He's not just famous; other lawyers genuinely respect him. I learned that he has led many lawyer gatherings, helping others to grow in their profession. That tells you just how good he is. If you're in Massachusetts and need a lawyer who is brilliant, knowledgeable, and genuine, I'd strongly recommend Michael Flores and his team. He's not just highly knowledgeable but is also dedicated to assisting his clients to the best of his ability.

Wyckoff represented me in my divorce. I was in a bad relationship and wanted to keep distance from my partner who kept requesting in-person meetings (which stressed me out). Wychoff went as far as suggesting we: 1. Meet in his office 2. I arrive first and go to room A 3. They arrive and go to room B 4. He will run back and forth between rooms so I never have to see them 5. I'll leave after they leave Amazingly, they dropped the in-person meetings and we were able to finalize the divorce paperwork over email. He was also great support on the court date when the divorce was finalized. I have other stories of how he helped me throughout my divorce, there's honestly not enough room to write them all here. I couldn't recommend a more supportive and knowledgeable attorney.

Our first meeting I presented my wish list for what I wanted, and he far exceeded my expectations. He took the time to learn my situation, listen to my many concerns, and was available anytime I needed to talk things through. Any nerves I had were gone after that first time watching him in court fighting for me. He is a true professional, and he put me at ease anytime I felt stressed over the proceedings. His staff was always prompt, courteous and helpful every step of the way. Bill saved me from a lifetime of financial ties to my ex, and for that I am forever thankful.

  4. What is your approach to handling cases like mine?
    Learn about their strategy, whether they prefer negotiation, mediation, or litigation.
  5. Who will be working on my case?
    Find out if the lawyer will handle your case personally or delegate tasks to other attorneys or paralegals.
  6. How will you communicate with me throughout the process?
    Establish expectations for updates, preferred communication methods, and response times.
  7. What is the likely timeline for resolving my case?
    Get an estimate of how long the process may take from start to finish.

How to Check the Credibility of a Lawyer

Before hiring a lawyer, it's crucial to verify their credibility and ensure they're qualified to handle your case:

  1. Verify Their License:
    Check with your state's bar association to confirm the lawyer is licensed and in good standing.

  4. Client Reviews and Testimonials:
    Read reviews on legal directories like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, or Google to gauge client satisfaction.
  5. Professional Memberships:
    Membership in professional organizations or specialty bar associations can indicate a commitment to their field.

    Honors from reputable organizations reflect expertise and a positive reputation.
  7. Consultation Assessment:
    Use the initial consultation to evaluate their communication skills, responsiveness, and willingness to address your concerns.
  8. Ask for References:
    A credible lawyer should be willing to provide references from past clients.

What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?

To make the most of your initial meeting with a lawyer, come prepared with:

  1. Relevant Documents:
    Bring all documents related to your case, such as contracts, correspondence, legal notices, court papers, or evidence.
  2. Written Summary:
    Prepare a concise written summary of your situation, including key dates, events, and involved parties.
  3. List of Questions:
    Write down any questions you have about your case, the legal process, or the lawyer's experience.
  4. Financial Information:
    If applicable, bring financial documents like pay stubs, tax returns, or bank statements.
  5. Contact Information:
    Provide details of any witnesses or other parties relevant to your case.

    Bring a valid ID for verification purposes.
  7. Pen and Notebook:
    Take notes during the consultation to remember important points.
  8. Budget Constraints:
    Be ready to discuss your budget and any financial limitations.

How Much Does a Lawyer Cost?

The cost of hiring a lawyer varies widely based on several factors:

  • Fee Structures:
    • Hourly Rate:
      Lawyers may charge anywhere from $150 to $500 or more per hour, depending on experience and location.
    • Flat Fee:
      For routine legal services like drafting a will or handling an uncontested divorce, lawyers might offer a flat fee.
    • Retainer Fee:
      An upfront payment against which the lawyer bills hourly fees.
    • Contingency Fee:
      Common in personal injury cases; the lawyer receives a percentage (typically 25% to 40%) of any settlement or award.
    • Monthly Retainer:
      For ongoing services, businesses might pay a monthly fee for a set number of hours or services.
  • Factors Affecting Cost:
    • Complexity of the Case:
      More complex cases require more time and resources, increasing costs.
    • Lawyer's Experience:
      Highly experienced lawyers may charge higher fees.
    • Geographic Location:
      Legal fees can vary significantly by region or city.
    • Additional Expenses:
      Court filing fees, expert witness fees, travel expenses, and administrative costs may be extra.
  • Estimating Total Costs:
    Request a detailed fee agreement outlining all potential costs.
    Discuss any additional expenses that may arise during the case.
  • Negotiating Fees:
    Some lawyers may be willing to negotiate fees or offer payment plans, especially for clients with financial constraints.
  • Pro Bono Services:
    For those who cannot afford legal services, some lawyers or legal aid organizations offer services at reduced rates or for free.
