Our family member worked with Attorney Spino to set up an Estate Plan for herself. At the time of her passing John couldn't have been more accommodating in explaining the specifics of the Plan, how it was to be executed and what we needed to do. We were so happy with them that we will be using him to re-do our own Estate Planning.

My husband and I hired John right after, and I mean right after, our first child was born...realizing that we needed to get our "estate" in order. He clearly outlined everything that we needed gather, discuss in advance, and then guided us through the process and planning part with recommendations. He was incredibly patient with us too in getting all of our final paperwork signed and processed, as that was a crazy time for us. The whole process could not have gone any smoother, and when it was complete, we were amazed that we had put it off for so long thinking it was such a huge project to take on. I definitely recommend using John for estate plans.

John helped me when I wanted to embark on a new business venture by helping me set up the appropriate business structure and purchase the assets of another company. He helped me with a complicated legal situation and made himself available anytime I had a question. John was extremely responsive and made sure to advise me on my best interests to start my business off strong. I will definitely use John in the future for business and real estate needs! I highly recommend John!

We found Attorney Shoulkin through friend’s recommendation. And working with him is the best decision we’ve made. He explained to us what are the strengths in our case, also help us set up realistic expectations. You can definitely feel that Attorney Shoulkin cares about your case as much as you do and the strategy he came up with has been very successful, which gave the other party big headaches. We highly recommend Attorney Shoulkin and his team.

Professional, personable, and very thorough. We originally hired Megan for new trusts and wills. As a great real estate attorney, we then used her for a complicated closing. Since then I've hired her for real estate investment transactions, privacy trusts, promissory notes, business filings, and have referred her to many others who have said they were also very pleased with her level of detail, price, and service. Things have gone wrong in business, but every time her documents have protected us. I have 100's of transactions of experience on my side, and she still catches things I don't - and that is invaluable. With most business dealings I feel like I have to be 100% "on", but when Megan is representing me I have realized that I am much more relaxed, knowing she will follow every detail until it's handled - even following up weeks after the fact to make sure other parties performed. Behind that sweet smile is a bulldog of the highest integrity - PRICELESS!

I recently used Ms. Hardee for the closing on the sale of my home. There were several tricky aspects of this closing including the fact that the attorney who handled a re-finance 20 years ago did not properly record the deed changes. Ms. Hardee is the ultimate professional. She persisted in her follow up on this problem until it was solved. Of course, the bank in question had been absorbed four times due to mergers, so she had to follow this chain to get the necessary information. There were other issues, including the buyer's attorney not understanding a special agricultural status of my property. Where I would have expressed my frustration, she continued to handle these issues with grace and the provision of the legal information needed to finally educate him. Throughout, Ms. Hardee kept me informed, coordinated with my realtor and moved the process to the final conclusion, i.e., actually closing on the designated date and making sure that everything was in order. While Real Estate closings are often routine, this one was not. Ms. Hardee's expert handling of this indicates to me that she is very intellligent, has wide ranging understanding of the legal process, the perseverance to explore all angles of an issue, and the ability to deal professionally with many different personalities. And her integrity is beyond reproach. I highly recommend Ms. Hardee. I feel confident that my case was handled in a thorough, professional and intelligent manner. I am sure that Ms. Hardee would be an asset to any legal process, including those much more complex than real estate closings.

It was supposed to be an amicable divorce initiated by my ex-wife. It became clear that she wanted to set the financial terms based on what she thought was right. David was always calm and took some of the emotional elements out of the mix and focused me on the real terms. He was nonetheless a good listener and showed empathy while guiding me through the legal process. He shared with me some of facts he would have presented to a judge had the amicable process gone awry. But all in all David worked hard at moving a difficult process through to its conclusion with minimal acrimony. If you are looking to grind an axe I don't think he is the guy for you! Otherwise I would highly recommend him to anyone going through the inherently difficult and emotional challenging process of ending a union while minimizing the collateral damages. He will make the tough journey that much easier. He is really a good guy and a good attorney!

Kate is an excellent attorney not only because she is smart, knowledgable and pays attention to the details, but because she makes the business of law (estate planning, etc.) personal. Even in business/practicing law, when one makes it personal - the level of care and feeling of comfort makes a difference. Kate's competence, professionalism and personal care makes a difference...Thank you Kate!

After putting it off longer than we should have, my husband and I finally decided to do our estate planning. We worked with Kate who did a fantastic job. She came to our home for the initial meeting and helped us think through all of the potential scenarios. She quickly sent us draft documents and a flow chart that made things easy to understand. After signing our wills and health care proxy forms, Kate’s office provided us with all of the necessary documents in an organized binder so that we or our loved ones could easily find the necessary information. She was so easy to work with and her advice gives me comfort that our assets are protected and our children will be well taken care of when the time comes. I can’t recommend Kate enough.

She has since helped us with other legal matters beyond her core areas with as much professionalism and attention to detail. I'm glad that we have Kate taking care if our legal matters.

Melissa was highly recommended to me by an attorney. I am so glad I hired her to handle my Bankruptcy case, considering that I was in middle of divorce in 2015 and property was involved, so let's face it, I was terrified, considering that divorce attorney's and judge were watching my steps, and anxiously were waiting for the results. In beginning of 2016 my case was approved. Personally I was skeptical, nervous of loosing the property, but Melissa was right there with me, she was on top of everything that bankruptcy court communicated and she knew the steps, and always professional, calm and she truly understood how bad/complicated my situation was. She has inspired me in so many ways; considering that she's young, dedicated and she has plenty of experience on her line of work. I would highly recommend Melissa Conner as your bankruptcy attorney. She held my hand through the process and was very understanding of my financial and overall situation. Bankruptcy was the last thing ever that I thought would happen to me, but life is unpredictable. Melissa gave me a brand new beginning that I much needed it. Bankruptcy is a fresh new start in life. I will always highly recommend Melissa for her knowledge of law and for her dedication to each clients and case. Thank you very much Melissa and I wish you only the best.

Attorney Laura Unflat is truly a compassionate professional! I was referred to her buy another attorney, if that doesn't say something nothing does. I have to say I could not be happier the way Laura handled my case. My case was not simple divorce lot of moving parts but she was very compassionate, and treats you like an equal not a client, which is not easy to find with attorneys. Divorce is not easy, but she reassures you when needed and had total compassion when it got tough. She is very professional, but tough when needed, she will not be pushed around.. She does not leave a box unturned she is on top of everything. She is super understanding with the cost involved with divorce proceedings, she is super fair and has your best interest always at heart ! Meet with her one time and you will hire her! I could not recommend her higher.

I hired Laura to help with what was supposed to be a simple prenup; and through wacky twists and turns with a very difficult opposing attorney Laura was a steadfast advocate for me until it was completed. She very specifically figured out what was important to me, and was excellent at providing hypothetical situations to explain the implications of each provision. Her advice was thorough and backed up by examples from her experience. As the agreement moved towards completion, and things got more contentious, I felt very comfortable when she would advocate directly with the other attorney because I knew she understood my interests and desires. She was very communicative with me and I felt well informed of each step. She was also very sensitive to and open about discussing billing when I had questions. I highly recommend Laura Unflat for consultation for prenups, and if I ever have a family law need in the future, I will certainly call on her again.

Attorney Korth and his team were instrumental in helping with a lemon aid law case. He patiently responded to all the questions and helped put any concerns about the case at ease. He was also very careful about keeping expectations realistic and not over-promising. The case took many months to resolve and to collect the settlement so the ability to ask about potential options and next steps throughout the process was very reassuring, and could've been nerve-wrecking without the counsel.

Yuliya Fisher-Nayyer is an excellent attorney. I had a tricky child support situation, where my ex was trying to get more than she actually was owed. Yuliya's careful reading of my divorce agreement allowed her to make clear arguments that convinced my ex and her attorney to accept the proper settlement, and we were able to resolve the situation with only one court date where the judge approved the agreement we had worked out. Yuliya was very honest in her assessment of my situation, and very clear in her explanations of what I owed and did not owe, which I appreciated because I did not fully understand the language in the divorce agreement and would probably have overpaid if I had not hired her. She also was completely committed to my case. She was excellent at communicating, both with me and the opposing attorney, and I never felt like my case was anything other than her top priority, even though I know she had many other cases at the same time. The advice she gave me was spot on, and everything worked out almost exactly as she had predicted, which is impressive given how many variables there were in my case. And she was also careful about how many hours she committed to my case so that I would not get overbilled for her services, which was a refreshing change of pace from lawyers I have dealt with in the past who seemed eager to rack up their billable hours. I really appreciate all the work she did on my case, and would hire her again in a second.

During one of the worst periods of my life (my mother died and I found myself being sued by my estranged siblings in land court) I was in desperate need of real, honest and meaningful expert legal help. I got just that and so much more with attorney Nicholas J. LaFountain of LaFountain & Wollman, PC. Nick is not only an outstanding attorney who tirelessly worked to get me the best possible outcome but also an incredibly honorable human being who took my case when others likely wouldn’t have. The fact is I was a broke emotional wreck at the start of this ordeal and the case was a contentious ugly battle against highly credentialed attorneys with impressive Boston addresses and clients with seemingly unlimited resources. Nick was of course undaunted by this and NEVER wavered in his commitment to seek justice on my behalf. He provided me with superb legal representation and consistently went above and beyond what good attorneys do! He even drove me to court once when I was too nervous to get there myself. Nick was extremely responsive and always prompt in returning my calls and emails and answering my questions. He was wonderfully patient with me and explained my options every step of the way. Throughout my entire legal journey I always knew that Nick had my best interest at heart. Nick is also a really smart attorney with the innate ability to think quickly on his feet. He displayed this talent over and over again when dealing with opposing council and most notably by skillfully cross examining witnesses at trial. Finally and most importantly, Nick is highly EFFECTIVE! He secured an extremely favorable judgment for me under very difficult circumstances and I owe him and his team a great big thank you for that. I whole-heartedly and without reservation would and have recommended Nick LaFountain and LaFountain & Wollman, PC to anyone in need of expert legal help. Nick is an amazing attorney and I feel truly blessed to have had him in my legal corner.

I contacted Deb in the months after my husband's death. She and her team guided me through the probate process for his estate, and through the creation of my own estate documents. It has been a joy to work with Deb as she combines great wisdom and compassion with a sense of humor and positivity and a high level of professionalism. I felt I was in excellent hands during a challenging time in my life. Deb and her team were professional, knowledgeable, and responsive at all times. I appreciated how quick they were to answer questions, as well as the warmth and kindness of everyone I worked with. Thank you Deb and DangerLaw!

I contacted Patrick Bull for free legal consultation (note, he was referred to me by my nephew who is also a chief of attorneys in D.C.) I was more than satisfied and impressed with Mr. Bull’s professionalism, knowledge and patience when it came to representing one’s self in court. He was very knowledgeable, informative and walked me through the steps as to what to expect. After talking to him, I felt at ease and more confident, during this trying time. I would HIGHLY recommend him to anyone who is who is going through these proceedings, as he appears to be right on!

Greg Johnson and David Yannetti are simply the best. After having two other attorneys on a case, I hired them and got results where others failed. They work hard for you and I highly recommend them!
