I own a portfolio of over 100 apartments in Massachusetts and Jesse is my go-to guy for all tenant issues including evictions. He has great communication and works exceptional hard to make sure all of our issues get resolved quickly. I’d highly recommend for anyone who needs landlord representation.

In spring 2023, I faced tenant/landlord disputes that blocked my house sale. For eight months, I was constantly pushed around by the other side.
When Jesse Bousquet took over, his legal maneuvering changed everything. His hard work and strategy allowed me to push back. Jesse’s exceptional communication and empathy made a stressful situation bearable.
His brilliant approach pressured the other side to end the case much sooner than expected. Jesse is a fantastic lawyer and strategist, and I’m so lucky to have had him on my case.

Jesse Bousquet recently handled a tenant dispute for me, and the favorable result he obtained exceeded my expectations. As a lawyer myself, it was clear to me that Jesse is unique in his command of landlord-tenant law in Massachusetts. He is a great communicator, frequently updating me on the status of the matter. I would highly recommend Jesse to other landlords and to other lawyers seeking a referral for a landlord-tenant attorney. He is the best of the best representing landlords.

Gwen has been exceptional throughout my legal matter. She maintains consistent communication, providing regular updates that keep me informed about my case's progress. What truly stands out is her accessibility - she responds promptly to calls and messages, which has been incredibly reassuring during this challenging period. As a legal professional, she understands that quick communication can help ease client stress, and she delivers on that front. Her attentiveness and reliable communication style have made a significant difference in my experience working with her.

I had the pleasure of recently meeting with Attorney Christopher Early regarding the building/running of my own law firm. He promptly responded to my request to meet, including rescheduling after I cancelled for a family issue, and met me with a smile, attention and great advice. I have since applied that advice and noticed immediate results!
Whether you are a client in need of representation or an attorney looking for an insightful prospective on what to do next, you should do yourself a favor and reach out to Attorney Early. You will not be disappointed!

Tyler is awesome. I reached out to Tyler to assist me with my motor vehicle accident injury based on the Google reviews. I felt very reassured I was going to be in good hands based on my consultation with Tyler. He is very responsive. It’s very reassuring to know you don’t have to wait days to hear back from your attorney. Tyler was always in office when I called and he is quicker with emails if you decided to email instead. Tyler definitely fought and represented me until the end, and I can’t say I was ever disappointed choosing him as my legal attorney. I also work at a law firm myself and it proves Tyler takes passion in what he does for his clients. I am going to refer him to my family in friends if they shall ever need his services.

I have worked with this firm and with Tyler in particular, and I extremely recommend their assistance in case you are in need of a premium service in this area of the law. From my first call I had the opportunity to talk directly with Tyler and he took his time to listen about my case and offered me an appointment for the next day. From that first appointment I felt very comfortable because I could see he has real interest trying to understand my case and putting the time to review all the documents I had. After that he communicated in an efficient and on time manner when he had any relevant updates about the case (without me having to call him for that). And if I had something to tell him or consult he was available and replied quick. Finally he managed to get the results we have discussed without delays. So for all this amazing service I am extremely grateful and I recommend him and the firm to any person that might have a case and is looking for assistance and guidance. Thanks a lot Tyler!

I recently received a subpoena involving a request for extensive records. Attorney Neil Burns and their team provided invaluable assistance. They drafted a detailed and persuasive response that effectively addressed the opposing counsel's demands. As a result, the opposing counsel dropped their request, saving me significant time, stress, and potential legal fees. I am incredibly grateful for their expertise and professionalism.

I was referred to Burns & Jain and specifically Neil Burns through a lawyer who practiced a different type of law. From the first phone call with Neil, I felt comfortable in my choice. He made what had been a difficult time in our lives easier. He is hard working professional who makes himself and his team fully available to clients throughout the process at any time. The Burns & Jain team are a dedicated group of individuals who offer thorough explanation at each step of the legal process and through their kindness help you to feel comfortable and able to see the process through. My daughter and I were in a horrible head-on car accident, Neil and his team were able to help both of us navigate the legal channels and get insurance coverage maximized for us both. I would highly recommend the Burns & Jain team when you are seeking legal counsel.

Attorney Slater is one of a kind. Thoughtful, communicates well, and is creative. He helped with a high stakes business litigation and put everything he had into the case and never ceased until the outcome was achieved. He will not get scared off from what appears to be an uphill battle and is always reassuring and provides a real assessment and recommendations.

Do yourself a favor and work with Rachel. I recently obtained US citizenship, and Rachel has been so helpful all along the way. Besides being a delight to work with, she is brilliant and highly knowledgeable about immigration laws and system. I was impressed to see my citizenship application filed in only two days after sending all the information and files needed for the application. One of the other benefits of working with Rachel is her expertise across different domains besides immigration law, which is very useful in making sure your application is prepared properly and that you receive the best counsel.
Another impressive part was how well she prepared me for the citizenship interview. She was extremely detailed with her guidance, and everything she said would be covered was covered exactly in the order she said it would be covered. Of course, you’ll still need to do your part and prepare your documents right for her to submit in your application, study for the Civics test, etc., but working with Rachel gives true peace of mind and top-notch counsel.
I was lucky that on the day of my interview, I was able to get sworn in as a citizen in the same building. Rachel walked with me to the swearing-in ceremony and even took a picture with the US flag as I became a citizen. A memory to last a lifetime. I highly recommend Rachel.

What felt like a forever and never-ending case was made manageable thanks to Rachel and her guidance. I am incredibly grateful for the outstanding service provided by Rachel! Her amazing help, unwavering compassion, and exceptional patience made a significant difference in my case. She went above and beyond to ensure I felt supported and informed throughout the entire process. I highly recommend her to anyone in need of a dedicated and skilled lawyer. Thank you, Rachel, for your remarkable work!

Rachel represented us in a criminal case that extended over 5 1/2 years. During this time the prosecution was disinterested in examining the facts or dropping the case that was rife with dubious and conflicting testimony.
Rachel took the time to peel the layers back exposing the predisposed rush to judgement. Her skill as a lawyer and empathy as a person allowed us to dismantle the web of accusations and expose them as false.
It was an especially trying case for ourselves and Rachel. We never gave up and Rachel provided logical and caring advice throughout the ordeal.
There is no way we can thank her enough.

Attorney Joshua Bearce gave me a wonderful consultation of key questions to ask related to the estate of my deceased relative, before considering legal action. He also provided tactics that could be explored to support a case of "undue influence," if I were to pursue a legal action. Appreciate all the insights provided!

I hired Atty Bearce for what I thought going in would be a fairly simple, straightforward divorce with most things agreed upon up front. I liked that he had trial experience as well, but never expected it to be necessary in mine.
The situation evolved and got a lot more complicated unfortunately. I was very glad to have an experienced attorney, who saw several things coming that I frankly did not. He was always respectful of what I wanted to file for as an outcome, while providing advice on why different things would be a good idea or how they could backfire, while always leaving it ultimately up to me on how to proceed.
I could not be more grateful for both the ultimate outcome of the case, or for the professionalism and helpfulness of Atty Bearce throughout the process. He was always on top of things, reachable, and able to explain complex legal concepts in a clear and easy manner. The support staff at the office was equally friendly and helpful.
Made a difficult process that much easier.
Some specifics involved in my case: a more complicated division of assets, custody division and uniform support orders, discussing a real estate disposition that was definitely non standard, and ultimately having to file for a default judgement when the other party refused to participate in the proceedings. We tried formal mediation but the case was ultimately decided at a trial hearing, something I never expected it to come to at the outset.

I cannot recommend Attorney Scott Wittlin of Sassoon Cymrot Law LLC highly enough. Scott took the time to thoroughly educate my aunt and me on the intricacies of trusts, ensuring we understood every detail. His approach was refreshingly straightforward, empathetic, and professional.
Having worked with many lawyers in the past, I often walked away feeling overcharged or underwhelmed. However, Scott is a true standout. He is not only incredibly knowledgeable but also deeply committed to serving the best interests of his clients. His transparency and dedication gave us peace of mind throughout the process.
If you’re looking for an attorney who combines expertise with genuine care, Scott Wittlin is the one to call.

I have been a long term client of Thornton Law Firm which started in the 1980's. When medical issues arose in my family we contacted Thornton and immediately after Andy Wainwright contacted us. Throughout the whole process he was very professional and explained in step by step manner the legal process we were in and our plan of action. Andy has been at our side for the last 7 years and throughout that time he has always been there when we needed him not only as our lawyer but as a friend. We are very grateful for the Thornton Law Firm and especially Andy for all their hard work and dedication they have put into my family. We give them a 5 star rating!

We initially contacted the Thornton Law Firm via their website regarding a mesothelioma case. Immediately, we received a call from Attorney Andrew Wainwright and he made us feel comfortable during a difficult time. Throughout the process we were always well informed and things were always simply explained every step of the way. Mr. Wainwright was very courteous, kind & compassionate and felt like part of our family. All matters were always handled with the highest levels of professionalism. The settlements were processed and delivered in a timely manner. I highly recommend Andy Wainwright and the Thornton Law Firm. I give them a 5-star rating.

Attorney Wayland is an honest lawyer with high ethical standards and very practical approach. I found Edward after searching the list of best lawyers in Boston and he proved to be one for my highly contentious long stretched divorce case. From the very beginning till the very last day of our work together, Edward was always prompt and available, guiding me through the options, clarifying my doubts and ignorance about the process, and providing compassion and encouragement during tough moments. Throughout the process, Edward had an approach of resolving issues collaboratively with the other party, however, if I felt I was getting unfair share and wanted to fight back harder, he was right by my side with unwavering advocacy for that as well. I personally am very impressed by Edward’s command over communication skills as he can say strong stuff in a very polite yet firm and targeted verbiage. I was surprised to see other lawyers getting agitated or rude, but Edward always held calm demeanor while maintaining firm tone and pushing the agenda forward. Finally, my case is over now, and I have moved forward in my life, but I will always be grateful to have Edward Wayland as my divorce attorney while I went through the rough times of life. I highly recommend Attorney Wayland to anyone seeking divorce or custody help. Infact, I have already given his reference to couple people who were seeking help due to my exceptional experience working with him.

Every year Boston magazine publishes the results for top attorneys in Boston from different legal specialties, from business and criminal law to family and employment law. If there are top 100 attorneys; Edward Wayland would be voted as the top 10 WORST attorneys in Boston.

I recently received a subpoena involving a request for extensive records. Attorney Neil Burns and their team provided invaluable assistance. They drafted a detailed and persuasive response that effectively addressed the opposing counsel's demands. As a result, the opposing counsel dropped their request, saving me significant time, stress, and potential legal fees. I am incredibly grateful for their expertise and professionalism.

I was referred to Burns & Jain and specifically Neil Burns through a lawyer who practiced a different type of law. From the first phone call with Neil, I felt comfortable in my choice. He made what had been a difficult time in our lives easier. He is hard working professional who makes himself and his team fully available to clients throughout the process at any time. The Burns & Jain team are a dedicated group of individuals who offer thorough explanation at each step of the legal process and through their kindness help you to feel comfortable and able to see the process through. My daughter and I were in a horrible head-on car accident, Neil and his team were able to help both of us navigate the legal channels and get insurance coverage maximized for us both.
