Attorney Medore is a phenomenal at what he does. I would recommend him/his services to anyone. I hired him to assist me with my SSDI claim. He was instrumental to the successful outcome of my claim. I simply could not have done it without his expertise. He skillfully guided me through the entire claims process, navigated through the subsequent appeal process and ultimately the successful outcome of my hearing in front of the judge. I attribute this success entirely to my Attorney Rick Medore. I was so impressed with his professionalism and depth of knowledge on the subject. I will be forever grateful for the legal services he provided me. Worth every penny.

Grateful to have found and worked with Attorney Madore. I needed someone patient to help with my SSDI case who was not frustrated by my difficulties with anxiety and cognitive overwhelm due to PTSD and chronic illness. I am glad he was on the other end of the phone for all the information needed. I really did need that help and am grateful to now on the SSDI that I currently need with the least stress possible considering the challenges of the process. I do recommend Richard maybe especially for folks with complicated illness such as Lyme and PTSD.

We were extremely pleased with Debra's services. Debra represented us as the sellers of 2 pieces of property with somewhat complicated scenarios such as property line changes and easements. She also handled an inexperienced buyer's attorney. We were extremely pleased. Also she is always available. We could send her an email at 8 PM not expecting a reply until morning but she was always replying. Strongly recommend her to anyone buying or selling a home.

Debra handled our closing in an efficient and detailed manner. She was very approachable and receptive to all of our questions and concerns. She gave excellent advice and even worked around our "Out of State" schedule to make the closing a convenient and pleasant experience. We enjoyed meeting her and would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone seeking good counsel on purchasing a home in the area. Thank-you Debra!

I can not say enough about the job attorney Debra Bodenstein provided me. She represented me for both buying and selling of properties and she had my best interest in mind at all times. When a problem occurred with the title to the condo I wanted to buy Debra worked tirelessly to find a satisfactory solution and made my purchase possible. She kept me updated at each stage of the process and was constantly available to answer any and all questions. Never having bought a home by myself before I found the process intimidating and some what overwhelming. Debra walked me through everything, explaining the process in terms I was able to understand. I would recommend Debra for any and all of your real estate needs.

Michele Da Silvia is by far the best attorney out there. When my husband and I were preparing for his green card application, Michele made sure that we had everything in order. She was very professional, had taken so much time with us, and answered every question we asked. She calmed our nerves and made us feel confident that we were in good hands. And let me tell you, we were. I would have never expected such a smooth experience with immigration the way we did had it not been with Da Silva Law Group. She really cares about her clients, and only wants the best outcome for you. It’s experiences like these that will bring me back to her when we have to remove the conditions of our green card in two years! Thank you for everything!

Caleb was always reassuringly confident and prepared, and was available to me whenever I had questions or concerns. He helped get me the best result possible, which certainly would not have happened without his assistance. If you find yourself in need of a criminal attorney, do yourself a favor and hire Caleb.

She is a smart, highly competent professional but also adds a "human factor" to her practice, and that is what makes her unique. Her staff is great to work with as well, and carry through her practice philosophy.

We felt that all of our legal needs for which we sought were met. The main benefit from working with DGVE was that we know that in any event our wishes have been communicated via a will and will be carried out as written. Additionally, DGVE made sure to bring up scenarios and possibilities that we hadn't considered and now those are also planned for. We feel that our children's needs will be taken care of in the event of an emergency/tragedy and that our wishes will be communicated to our loved ones and executed. Additionally, the process was so easy. It was not difficult to understand the choices we were making, every step of the way was explained to us in language we understood and what we needed to do in order to have the best experience was given to us in a checklist. This made it so easy for us to complete while juggling work, pregnancy and life in general. In all, we felt that our wishes were heard and understood!

Different issues kept popping up and resolution to each roadblock was accomplished. At each step, he gave me very good advice after listening carefully to what I wished to accomplish. He was always available when a new problem arose, and kept me calm throughout each of them. He carefully explained his actions on my behalf.

In June of 2020, I was entering a grocery store and slipped in a puddle of water on the floor and broke my ankle. I was on vacation from California and did not know any Attorneys. A friend suggested George MacKoul in Hyannis. George had practiced in California and was very knowledgeable in both California and Massachusetts law. George really helped me with ideas to assist him in preparing my case. One suggestion was keeping a daily diary. The case took 2 years to close. George negotiated a very good settlement. He and his Assistant, Diane, made our long-distance communication and document filing seamless. I would definitely encourage anyone to engage the services of George MacKoul!

I hired George to represent me in a dispute I had with a boat yard. The boatyard failed to properly winterize my boat causing damage to the engines, and the cabin. The boatyards insurance company tried to offer me a small amount of money, but once I had George on the case things changed rapidly. I ended up getting the compensation I was asking for from the insurance company, and they had to dispose of the boat themselves. I can't say enough about George and how he efficiently worked through this dispute for me. I would highly recommend him to anyone in need.

Attorney MacKoul was recommended to me from a friend in a very trying Litigation case that did not need to go to court. Attorney MacKoul explained in detail exactly what we were going to do and could have not made me feel any more confident in how we were to proceed with my case. The communication was exactly how it should have been and I felt very comfortable once we discussed the details. I could not be any happier with the end results and feel that I have established a long term relationship. Honesty, integrity, communication, and clear cut decisions are what Attorney MacKoul strives for and that is what I received. A big Thank You for everything!

Many years ago I had chosen SS&B to help establish the first estate plan for my wife and I. Recently at the passing of my wife, I needed to update all of these plans. Obviously having just lost my wife of almost 40 years and having to pull out all of those documents that we had created together added a bit of stress to a difficult time, added to the stress we had all been facing during the COVID pandemic of 2020. Attorney Abbott and her entire team not only helped direct me through all of the steps need to make my transition to this new estate plan, but also worked with me to be sure all of the questions were asked and answered thoughtfully knowing that my brain had difficulty focusing on almost anything, no less the redoing of my estate plans. Her calm and supporting presence though this made a difficult time bearable. She was working to support me not only to complete this new plan, but also as a person. She would take the time just to talk and not just dive into the needed work on the documents. She was the person, and they were the team that was needed for me to get through this most necessary process. I hope and doubt I may ever have to go through a situation like this in the future, but feel confident that I would immediately reach out to them if the need did arise.

She was thorough when we needed a deeper understanding of specific items, but did not belabor topics unnecessarily. She was very easy to talk to and offered advice and perspective based on her understanding of our wishes and circumstances. I would highly recommend her services.

My late father had a piece of property in Massachusetts that my siblings and I had to sell. None of us lived in state, and there was a considerable amount of legal work to do. We were lucky to find David. He took care of everything for us, even finding an excellent realtor. David was considerate and thoughtful, and treated us with respect while we were going through a difficult time. He kept us informed and guided us through the maze of court filings and probate hearings with great care. The bottom line is that we sold the property without having to come to Massachusetts even once; David even handled the sale. I would recommend David to anyone. I can't thank him enough for what he did for us.

We decided to change Counsel and met with Kurt, and from the very first conversation it was clear that he knew exactly what needed to be done to get the evidential truth in our case discovered and presented to help us obtain the expressed result and closure we deserved and needed. Kurt is extremely knowledgeable, a poised communicator, and always responsive to both our inquiries and the needs of the case. He is a great listener and showed us both patience and compassion in understanding the emotional suffering this case was imposing upon us. He was the voice of reason that was needed, and we had confidence that we were in great hands with him. Kurt was able to bring us the resolution we needed in less than four-months time; proving to us that our change in counsel was the best decision we could have made.

In the law enforcement profession, we hope to never have to need an attorney, but one night at 11pm when I arrived at work, I found an envelope in my mailbox indicating that my agency was investigating me. The first phone call I made was to the Legal Defense Fund, and as luck would have it, Attorney Gambaccini was the lawyer handling the emergency calls to the law firm at that time. From that night on, Attorney Gambaccini was extremely helpful in offering a different perspective on the situation I was being investigated for. I believe that with his input and guidance at each step of the way, he helped me navigate through waters that proved to be extremely challenging at the time. It turned out that the first investigation that Attorney Gambaccini helped navigate me through was just the beginning. Over the course of the next few months, I would come to depend upon Attorney Gambaccini's feedback and knowledge many, many more times. Through the numerous (and I mean numerous) phone calls that the two of us had, Attorney Gambaccini listened like a friend and offered help as I needed an attorney to do. A year has passed since having to utilize Attorney Gambaccini's expertise, and since successfully helping me with with my ordeal, I can say that I still keep in contact with Andy. I wouldn't hesitate in reaching out to him in his official capacity should I ever need legal assistance again in the future, but am happy that I get to keep in touch with him as a friend at this stage in my career.

I was first introduced to Andy through the MPA's legal defense fund. I needed the assistance of an attorney with a civil service employment issue. Andy and his associates at Reardon, Joyce and Akerson worked tirelessly towards my case. Andy kept me up to date with constant communication. His knowledge of the law, particularly of the civil service process, was impressive. Even though I was just one of his many clients, I felt a level of personalization between he and I that made the whole ordeal more manageable. I would strongly encourage anyone questioning whether or not they should sign up for the legal defense to do so. You never know what life will throw at you next and having the legal defense fund makes that uncertainty more manageable. I would have never guessed that one day I would have needed the assistance of the legal defense, but I am glad I singed up for it. I would highly recommend Andrew Gambaccini and his colleagues at RJA for any of your legal needs. I know they will treat you will the same respect and dedication that they gave me.

Anton Reinert represented me in a long divorce process. He invariably responded to me in a timely manner with exactly the amount of information I needed to feel less worried and clear-minded. This ability to trust him and his guidance improved my quality of life during a difficult time. I appreciated his integrity in guiding me toward a solution that best matched my means and my interests. He is not a lawyer who wants to keep things going to make more money. I interviewed a number of attorneys before hiring him and believe he has a refreshing, efficient, approach in an aggressive arena. Anton has an air-tight understanding of the law and ethics that go along with the law. He also offers availability for communication at any inquiry and has a kind manner that isn't required, but that helps; especially at a difficult point in anyone's life. Working with Anton is easy. Anton's approach makes you want to rise to meet the situation, handle it well, and come out as a better person.

Anton took on my case mid stream after I replaced my first attorney for poor performance when most others would have not giving the complexity of my case. He also was up against a very uncooperative and devious other side. Anton knows trust real estate law very well. He also has great patience and doesn't get excited during what is a stressful and emotional time. I am grateful that he took me on and satisfied with how my case settled.

Anton is an excellent lawyer. He is very professional, compassionate and responsive. After my first divorce lawyer, he was a breath of fresh air. He achieved excellent results for me during my court case. I recommend him highly and without reservation to anyone who is looking for very strong representation during divorce proceedings.

I live with my children in India, and my Ex-husband filed for divorce in the US in 2020. I was searching for legal assistance in the USA for my divorce and family law case. I had the wonderful fortune to find a very remarkable lawyer who went above and beyond to assist me. Despite being far away, Ms. Erica Foster gave my case her undivided attention, exhibiting unparalleled skill and compassion throughout. The extent of Ms. Erica's knowledge of family law and divorce proceedings was astounding. She carefully looked into every facet of my case to ensure that justice was done. Ms. Erica Foster's remarkable presenting abilities were what really made her stand out. She confidently articulated to the court the intricacies of my case, leaving no doubt in their minds. Her ability to clearly state important aspects and foresee objections ensured that my case was as strong as feasible. Despite residing in two separate countries and time zones, Ms. Erica Foster was available and attentive throughout the process, answering any questions or concerns I had immediately. Whether you are a US citizen or not, I heartily suggest her services to anybody needing a committed and skilled family and divorce attorney.

Attorney Foster is a highly competent and experienced attorney that "gets it" from the client's perspective. She's direct and results driven, not interested in wasting your time and money. (The antithesis of lawyers who run out the clock speaking to issues of high emotion but little impart.) In my divorce we faced a lot of nonsense from the other side and having an attorney that won't entertain that and brings none of their own helped me keep costs down and ultimately hold the line right where it should be.

I have been fortunate to have Erica "on my side" on two occasions. She is extremely responsive, has precise communication and does not attempt to "ad-lib" as many attorneys do. Not once did Erica loose sight of my goals as a single parent and she fought bravely for my twins and myself. She completely understood both the legal and emotional side of my high conflict divorce and I can report with confidence you will be happy with her abilities!

I would like to take this opportunity to express my gratitude to Atty Jonathan Molleur. At first, I called a different attorney who contacted Atty Molleur. Within one day I received a call from him and was so relieved. From the moment I heard his voice I knew he was the attorney for me. He listened to me, through my tears, for about an hour and showed me so much empathy and kindness to my situation. He did not interrupt me at all. It was a very difficult time for me since I was dealing with family members so it was a very personal matter. So needless to say, I was very upset. When I heard that he would take my case, I felt relieved, since he was known as one of the top lawyers in this field of tenant law. From day one, our very first conversation, I knew that we had a chance at winning this thing, and fortunately for myself, this proved to be true. I was not prepared for the kindness and consideration that I received from him. It was not all business and he understood this was something more personal. This made me feel secure and I knew he would have my best interest at heart. With his expertise and knowledge, I saw the light of day. Justice would be served. His dedication, his attention to detail, and diligence made this all possible. He believed in me and my situation, and did not leave my side, but remained steadfast through it all, even when it did not look promising. When I called him or sent an email, he ALWAYS returned my calls. I never had to worry. He calmed me down every time we spoke. We were a team! In the end, it all worked out well. I cannot thank him enough, not only being my lawyer, but also my friend through this. He sincerely cared about my health and wellbeing. He turned into my friend who truly cared about me. There were times when he was my therapist where he just listened to me and hearing him say over and over, “That things will be OK” took all my anxiety away. I highly recommend Atty Molleur to assist you with all your tenant needs. I thank God for him every day!

Attorney Molleur was always a pleasure to work with when I had a case where my landlords were breaking Massachusetts landlord law. He was extremely communicative, easy to reach, always responsive, and we were easily able to retrieve a settlement that was highly in our favor. I highly recommend him as an attorney to anyone who especially needs help and may feel like they have no one to turn to due to financial constraints - he represented us so well and talked us through every step of fees and costs so that we were never afraid of not being able to get things resolved. Thank you so much!

I reached out to Zach who was Reccomnded though someone at Harvard law criminal justice department. I spoke to several other attorneys as well as Zach. Zach stands out compared to the 4 other attorneys I had consultations with. I called and he got back to me within the hour. I had a phone consultation with him about my case. He went above and beyond with out being asked. In our consult, and for several days following Zach continued to give me information I had never been presented before that could be the difference between winning and losing a case. This is all based on Zach’s experience, knowledge and research. He took the time and went far beyond the expectations of a consultation. He presented it from both sides and was able to play devils advocate well. Alone on his consult, I would highly Reccomnded Zach. There are many attorneys out there but there are few that put in the time and effort as Zach does.

James provided excellent counsel. He reviewed the facts of the case and communicated all of the available options and explained the pros and cons of each potential outcome. James used his knowledge of the system to expedite the matter. He handled all of the painstaking paperwork and contacted the various parties to move the case through the system. The ability to manage and expedite the matter allowed me to move forward with my life which can be very difficult when facing a large obstacle. Overall, James exceeded my expectations and I would retain him in the future due to his professionalism, attention to detail, and diverse skill set (e.g., management, law/court system knowledge, communication, etc.)

Sarah Ricciardelli and Kathleen Avitabile assisted me with a real estate issue. Though it was only a small matter, they treated me with a courtesy and professionalism that made me feel as important as a major client. They were exceptionally responsive, they explained clearly everything that needed to be done, and they answered all my questions. You won't find this kind of service at every law firm, and based on my experience, I would recommend them to anyone.

Top Questions to Ask a Lawyer

When meeting with a lawyer for the first time, it's important to ask the right questions to understand their expertise and determine if they're the right fit for your legal needs. Here are some top questions to consider:

    Ensure the lawyer has relevant experience in the specific area of law pertaining to your case.
  2. How do you charge for your services, and what are the estimated costs?
    Understand the fee structure, including hourly rates, flat fees, retainer fees, and any additional expenses.
  3. What potential outcomes can I expect from my case?
    While no lawyer can guarantee results, they can provide an assessment of possible scenarios based on their experience.
  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.
  8. Do you have references from past clients?
    Testimonials or references can provide insight into the lawyer's professionalism and effectiveness.
  9. What are the strengths and weaknesses of my case?
    Understanding potential challenges helps you prepare and sets realistic expectations.
  10. Are there alternative ways to solve my legal problem?
    Discuss options like mediation, arbitration, or settlement to resolve the issue efficiently.

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.
  2. Experience and Specialization:
    Ensure the lawyer specializes in the area of law relevant to your case.
  3. Disciplinary Record:
    Look up any history of disciplinary actions or complaints through the state bar association.
  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.
  6. Awards and Recognitions:
    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.
  6. Personal Identification:
    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.
