From the onset, Travis demonstrated an exceptional level of involvement and commitment to my case. His ability to explain complex legal processes in a clear and understandable manner was incredibly reassuring.
One of the most impressive aspects of Travis's service was his flexibility and transparency throughout the case. He was always available to address my concerns and provided timely updates, ensuring that I was fully informed at every stage. His strategic foresight was remarkable; he accurately anticipated the opposing party's moves, which played a crucial role in the outcome of the case.
Moreover, Travis's honesty and straightforwardness in discussing what was possible and what wasn't helped set realistic expectations. His skillful negotiation and strategic approach led to a resolution much sooner than I had anticipated, and I was thoroughly satisfied with the outcome.
In my role as an employee involved in a legal dispute, having an attorney like Travis, who combines expertise with genuine care for his clients, made a significant difference. His professionalism, expertise, and dedication to achieving the best possible outcome for me were truly commendable.

Atty Travis Pregent is knowledgeable, efficient, and a great communicator. He always returned calls and emails quickly. We were never left wondering where the case was going. We were able to quickly settle out of court. I cannot thank him enough for taking our case. I would definitely hire him again, if the need arose.

During my divorce, the darkest times of my life, Attorney Gabriel provided constant support and counsel, guiding me through this very difficult time. David and his terrific, dedicated staff consistently went above and beyond, seemingly treating me as if I was their only client. Assuring me with explanations and terms I could understand, Attorney Gabriel was able to walk me through complex legal language that was completely foreign to me, making all the difference. If you find yourself headed into divorce, I strongly recommend that you consider Attorney Gabriel.

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!!

David was very professional during the whole divorce case. He appeared to run laps around his opposing counsel during my divorce. His knowledge and legal talent is the best I have ever seen or dealt with. He skillfully negotiated the best possible outcome for me in my divorce. He kept me informed at all times, and he was always available for questions, even finding the best way out of several difficult legal quagmires. He put a complex case settlement together in a timely manner. I find he was reasonable with his fees, he kept my costs minimal, and he was more than fair with me overall. My divorce settlement was approved by the Court without problems. This allowed me to get on with my life in freedom. David's relatable style, and candor was refreshing. This was just what I needed during that tough time in my life. As a result, I ç highly recommend David and his firm. In fact, I would not have recovered as well as I did without his steady guidance throughout my divorce proceedings.

This is my second time working with David Gabriel.
If I have to get an attorney I will choose him again.
If you need someone who is honest and knows his stuff - hire him.
My case was complicated- other attorney was interested in her own earnings and tried to drag things along just to bill.
David was making things mentally as easy as possible for me and shield me from other side nonsense and abuse and absorbed a lot of craziness. He will do a great job and he is honest man. He is doing things Right.

I was arrested for 1st offense refusal. I was very unsure about what was going to happen next and looked up OUI lawyers, after reading and listening to previous clients statement on his website I decides to give Mr Waldbaum a call. Mr. Waldbaum returned my call immediately and began to verbally walk me through what was going to happen, this was very helpful and made things much less stressful, he was very honest about everything that he could do for me. We went to court and got everything done in 1 day, I was leaving for a vacation to Europe in a few weeks following the arrest and his expert handing of my case allowed me to still take this trip. I had trouble getting my license back after court because of the RMV changing their computer systems, MR. Waldbaum and his associate Mr. Dunn were very proactive and went as far as spending over 4 hours at the RMV/ running back and forth to the court house to get documents until the RMV gave me a license, and to top it off they did not charge me for all this extra service. I was on the fence about hiring a lawyer and spending that much money, I am so grad I did and would highly recommend MR. Waldbaum and Mr. Dunn.

Dear Attorney Joseph Waldbaum,
“This letter is written with gratitude, appreciation, admiration, and respect.”
Going back to October 17, 2016 that early Sunday morning my life took a turn for the worst and my family was facing certain turmoil. Having been arrested for my 3rd OUI and placed into custody during the early morning hours, and unsure of where I was to turn. I sat at the police station until I was to be arraigned at court. Having posted bail, I was facing a slew of charges with one being a felony which comes with a mandatory 6 months in jail. I went home and started googling best OUI lawyers In Massachusetts. I came across your website and was impressed that you had all these referrals of past clients along with actual videos. I reviewed several of them and I also reached out too a few.
When I decided to reach out to you by phone I received an immediate call back within minutes. We discussed my case and you gave me an insight of what we would be facing and the challenges it would be because of it being my 3rd OUI with a Felony implication. Having been stressing about the potential repercussions for my actions, I decided you were going to give me the best shot at defending me.
Since day one you were there for me and my family. You stood beside me, helped me through a most difficult process with patience, understanding, and explained every detail to me so that I could understood the process, court proceedings, and outcome. Everything was exactly as you said it would be, and I couldn't have been more pleased with the outcome. Attorney Waldbaum was able to suppress my breath test which was a big win for us before trial. Then we went to trial and Attorney Waldbaum worked like a true professional in the court room and was able to get the jury to find me “Not Guilty”. When I heard the verdict, I started to get emotional as I am now able to resume my life, my career, and most importantly bringing closure to this for my family. I would also like to point out that during these past 18 months. I had another circumstance surfaced in another court during July 2017, and once again you were there for me with undivided attention, and time. All resolved well, and we avoided jail time and fines. Once again, I thank you.
In today’s time and turmoil, it is truly rare to find an individual to be so knowledgeable, honest, and integrity not compromised. A rare asset “a gem” to the profession.
For anyone seeking legal counsel. I say go no further then Attorney Joseph Waldbaum. Attorney Waldbaum is able, dependable, and if all possible will help to resolve your situation. A fine gentleman indeed!
The best quote that Attorney Waldbaum said to me that will always stay with me.
“The good lawyers know the law, the great lawyers know the judges”
With the highest regards,
Best,
Mr. Scott

Kent has been an invaluable legal advisor to my start-up business over the past year, particularly in the areas of privacy and vendor disputes.
Privacy is a huge concern for any e-commerce based business such as ours and Kent is on the leading edge of this evolving area. His knowledge and understanding of privacy law is outstanding. But equally important, Kent has a unique skill of identifying practical solutions that keep the company protected and make excellent business sense.
A second area where Kent has made large contributions to our company is in the area of vendor disputes. Like many companies, our success depends on effective working partnerships with dozens of vendors and consultants. Despite doing ones best to select the best and most honest partners, there are are always situations where vendors do not live up to their end of the bargain or try to change the rules previously agreed to in a contract. Kent's help in such situations has been absolutely invaluable. In fact, Kent's advice and actions have enabled us to squash all such issues before significant impact or cost to the business.
Finally, in addition to providing invaluable legal council, Kent has a great business intelligence and has provided excellent input into related areas of business strategy. He is also an absolute pleasure to work with. All in all, the best lawyer I have worked with in my few years as an entrepreneur and few decades as an executive in corporate America!

Magda is extremely intelligent and detail oriented. Family Court is a tense environment due to angry spouses and opposing attorneys, however, Magda is a sensible and thoughtful breathe of fresh air! Magda helped me refocus on the big picture issues and the process of resolution, instead of the events that led to divorce. Magda possesses both a legal and financial background, and her professional experience was invaluable because my resolution was solely a matter of finances.
Magda is easy to work with, timely and flexible, and will listen carefully before giving advice or suggesting options.
My best advice for anyone, or any couple, contemplating a divorce is to reach out to Magda first. Magda will help facilitate a difficult process with less emotion and quick resolutions.

Attorney Metaxas handled all those cases for us diligently and in a timely and respectful manner. We immediately felt confident in his expertise and level of experience. We were also very comforted by his caring and personable demeanor. He kept us informed and at the same time coached and guided us in the process. He genuinely cared for us and our family. I highly recommend Attorney Metaxas without any reservation.
