We are a group of physicians who used Attn Block's services over the past 6 months through 3 significant disagreements with a prior organization. It was like watching a fine surgeon as she navigated through the bluff and bluster to achieve successful outcomes for all our issues. In the first disagreement she understood the contract and our rights enabling recoupment of income and avoiding for-cause termination. This was also a very emotional time and she steered through the landmines of anger and revenge with her diplomacy skills working on all sides to a place of calm satisfaction. The second disagreement required negotiating between 3 parties and again she was able to prevail. The third was around complex financial settlements and she was able to help us find the middle ground of getting our money without excessive legal fees. I highly recommend Jessica for her professional knowledge and experience in the law.

I worked with Zoe when she was still a law clerk in Barbra Black's firm. She helped me understand the financials, something i had a lot of trouble getting my head around. Zoe has great attention to detail and follows up on tasks. She became a lawyer while still working on my case! I was very comfortable working with her. Zoe brought calm to my chaotic situation and that helped me during my contentious divorce! I strongly recommend Zoe! She is awesome.

I was so lucky that Zoe joined the Black Law Group just as my case began. Zoe is smart, empathic, diligent, and a great communicator. Zoe's and Barbara's outstanding legal expertise and kindness made the stress of going through this with a crazy ex-spouse bearable. I will be forever grateful for their help and would want them as friends if we had met under other circumstances!

A tenant, who is a lawyer, kept delaying returning the inventory at the end of her lease and then sued me for triple damages when the deadline for returning the security deposit was exceeded. Chaisson-Aronoff analysed the papers and advised me to settle because the expense to me to fight the suit would exceed the fine. Thereby she saved me money that she would otherwise have been paid. I was outraged by the behavior of the tenant and ready to go to the mat, but Chaisson-Aronoff calmed me down, explaining that then even if I won the case, the lawyer tenant would have gotten the better of me. I am grateful to have saved the money and be spared the emotional turmoil fighting the case would have caused me.

I have worked with Jen on several real estate transactions. She was informative, reliable and responsive in a timely manner. I have also referred Jen to several clients and she showed the same important qualities when addressing their needs. As a real estate broker I would highly recommend her and would use her services again. She is also a pleasure to work with; having a friendly face and good attitude added is an added bonus in any legal matter.

I hired Bill after firing a top divorce attorney who is now a state rep. He doesn't have a big law firm behind him, nor a fancy downtown Boston office, but he was a pit bull from day 1. He went the extra yard by hiring a software consultant to check my PC for viruses and spyware left by my ex. He dotted every i and crossed every t. Even after our court appearance in front of one of the toughest divorce judges in Concord (MA) district court, he advised me the best when my own judgement was foggy. During the entire divorce process, I always felt he had my back. Even after the divorce was final and my ex came after me again, Bill was there for me. I can't imagine going through the process with anyone else.

As a Canadian I had no knowledge of lawyers in Boston; so after re-searching, doing due diligence and speaking to over a dozen lawyer about my Maritime case I decided to engage Mr Keane. He was straight forward in his assessment, more knowledgeable and able to answer all my questions while not being condescending like the other lawyers. He is a fighter and doesn't give up regardless of the circumstances; that's what makes him successful! I am extremely pleased with his work and charges. If you want a likable, yes I said it, knowledgeable, competent and successful lawyer I have no hesitation in recommending Brian Keane,

I engaged Paul to represent me in an extremely complex business issue that involved both professional and personal liabilities for me. As a retired senior corporate executive from a public company, I brought extremely high expectations. Paul was honest and realistic initially, presenting a well-defined picture of reasonable expectations and risk exposure. Coupled with his wise counsel, this allowed me to make informed decisions resulting in the best resolution possible avoiding any unnecessary expenses. He was very responsive and always available with a unique sense of empathy and compassion as well as extremely competent in suggesting decisions that balanced personal, financial and professional implications. I would highly recommend him for both simple and challenging legal needs.

Attorney Goyal was always honest with me, up-front about the interpretations of the law as it applied to my case (A disputed Unemployment claim where I had to quit a position due to child care needs). She worked thoroughly with me to ensure the circumstances of my unemployment were presented in the best possible light, and that I was fully prepared for the questions the review examiner would be asking. In my opinion, the law probably could have logically sided with either party, but I strongly think that Attorney Goyal's advice on how to present myself and my case, paired with her willingness to fight for her client made all the difference, and the court ended up ruling in my favor. I would without question recommend Attorney Goyal to anyone seeking a strong unemployment lawyer.

I have had the privilege of working with Attorney Michelle Raymond on two separate occasions over the course of ten years. In both cases, Attorney Raymond provided a sought-after combination of exemplary Legal expertise, efficiency, compassionate guidance and kindness. She helped me navigate the unfamiliar territory of Divorce by providing the information and direction I needed with clear organization and care. As a professional Airline Pilot, I brought unique circumstances to the table. Attorney Raymond was able to work with me to resolve each issue particular to my case with ease. Her calm, confident manner was deeply reassuring to me, both in individual meetings and in Court. She guided me to the resources and support I needed during extraordinarily challenging times.

My experience with Michelle Raymond, despite the circumstances, has been a very good one. I feel very fortunate to have Michelle representing me. She has provided me with excellent legal services and advice, is professional, experienced and kind, and has given me the strength to get through what has turned out to be the most challenging time of my life. My personal situation has been complicated by many factors including divorce, a difficult custody battle, my older daughter's subsequent mental health issues, drug addiction and attempts to end her life, and my younger daughter's emotional distress from all the turmoil. My only regret is that I didn't have the opportunity to have Michelle represent me during my divorce, the outcome of which may have been the same but the experience, I am certain, would have been far less painful. Thank you, Michelle, for standing beside me with sound guidance, in front of me when I need protection, and behind me in case I fall.

I'm writing this testimonial to share my positive experience using Attorney Jennifer Miguel to represent me in my recent divorce. As anyone who has been through it knows, divorce is hard. However, Attorney Miguel made the process as easy as it could possibly be. She was always available to address my questions. Her responsiveness was truly impressive, as she followed up with me even on nights and weekends. Notably, Attorney Miguel even connected with me while she was on vacation. Throughout the process, I always felt like an important client. She explained every detail to me, and always verified that I thoroughly understood every step before we moved forward. Having all of the information laid out clearly helped me make good decisions. She certainly advised me well. Nobody ever wants to have a need for a lawyer, but life is messy. If you find yourself in need of a good lawyer, I would highly recommend calling Attorney Jennifer Miguel for assistance.

During the process Jennifer and her staff kept me informed of what would happen, how it would happen. I had worked with other lawyers that said I should just try and get better visitation terms. Jennifer told me that change of custody could happen and it did. There was a point I was almost ready to give up but her and her staff kept me going. My ex was not the nicest person in the meetings but Jennifer kept a professional mannor about her throughout the process.

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:

  1. What experience do you have with cases similar to mine?
    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.
