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.

I had the pleasure of having Mrs. Roman as my lawyer for two separate affairs. One being as an immigration lawyer, I cant express enough all the things she did for us. Not one day would go by and I wasn't contacted by her or her office. At the completion of our case she continued to check to make sure with us that all was going okay. VERY PROFESSIONAL. The second occasion, was my divorce. I called her and within 2 days i was in her office starting my process. She is efficient and very through in her dealings with " the other side". I was living in another state and she made everything EASY! I was and will always count on her for her help and she is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED as a great lawyer to all i know.

I called lawyer Davis after I was told by my friends that they used him and won on there cases. He returned my call the same day and we meet the next day. During the meeting we went over my case and at the end I hired him. I asked him who will talk to the people that lied. He told me he has an investigator that I can contact 24/7. When davis was in court or on the weekends my family and me would contact this investigator for questions on people. attorney davis told me they offered a deal if I plea Davis took the time and explained my options if I wanted a trial I’m glad he took time and we went to trial. My friends were right Attorney Davis is the Best. He got me a not guilty He was a destroyer at trial Thank you davis and investigator Not Guilty- Not Guilty-Destroyer

This is my second time having the benefit of Juliet's support. This occasion was a potentially complicated departure from a company. Juliet quickly understood the facts, explained the areas where my intuition was correct, and more importantly grounded me in reality for those that were not. She managed a collaborative approach to negotiate the final agreements. Juliet helped guide the process to obtain appropriate economics while helping to preserve relationships. She was fantastic both legally and emotionally. I needed and appreciated both. I highly recommend Juliet.

I mearly called for a consultation, I don't know whether this attorney was having a bad day or something else is going on or perhaps he was preoccupied, but the level of attention to detail on a potential case Even if he was listening at all, yes I understand you couldn't even take the case yet you have a tactfully poor representation of your law firm. Once again so we can be clear Yes I understand yes !!!!! I understand your not going to be able to take the case nor do you have to provide reason but asking a general question of what my options are , should have been handled more appropriately . you offer free consultation. I respect the type of attorney that you can hear in their voice no matter what the answer is They were delighted to handle your situation as best as they possibly could have. I call it having a good bedside manner. Yet I was brutally disconnected cut off and left hanging and I guess that's how you tell the difference between a solid lawyer that gives a crap about his clients potential clients and ones that are just ambulance chasers wanting to make a quick buck. There are millions of lawyers on this site And you should be truly grateful that people decided to hire you to take on their cases . Because if it wasn't for them you wouldn't even have a practice . I'm not angry. I've served my country for 8 years in the United States Navy and the college graduate with the background and engineering . An I studied quite a bit of law I felt like it was being put down or something . Although I laugh it off because I have thick skin , give you no excuse to represent yourself in the form and fashion that you represented yourself to me . I'm just offering constructive criticism to you sir. With all due respect work on your bedside manner because it's pretty crappy .I rest my case with the situation.

The lawyers at this office actually care. They listened to me. I say "they" because I actually had a couple lawyers at the office working on my case, including attorney Sullivan himself. Their team approach is great, and I know they all listened to me because in court the litigation team mentioned every single thing I told them I was concerned about, and in a very precise and professional way. I was amazed by how well they were in front of the Judge. Needles to say, I won my case. Incredible! Great Law firm!

Bob and his team, including Holly Hinte are just amazing. They are to the point. I initially heard he was aggressive and ended up in his office to create a conflict. After additional 5 lawyer interviews and one disaster retainer I returned to him. He s just very knowleable, won t overcharge (he is expensive, don t get me wrong) but best spent money. He and his team are ultra efficient. Plus they actually care. Can t say good enough to things about them.

Robert J. Rivers , Jr. - Lee & Rivers LLP Attorney Rivers – Excellent service and excellent attorney. His strength domains include: • Communication ability: brilliant • Responsiveness: outstanding • Quality of service: brilliant • Value for money: excellent I hired Lee & Rivers LLP while I was going through my divorce in 2012. Since the beginning of my case, Attorney Rivers had the knowledge and patience for all my calls and visits to his office. His lawyer's service and relationship skills were above my expectations and beyond what was described to me by a friend of mine. He was exactly what I wanted: knowledgeable, well connected, fierce and effective. Initially, he reviewed my case and guided me throughout the process. Attorney Rivers and his office staff were incredibly knowledgeable and accommodating! They were very prompt in all correspondence and kept us informed every step of the way. Made our family feel very valued, respected and represented at their fullest capability! I can't say enough positive things. From the very first meeting they helped me with a difficult situation. I would recommend Robert J. Rivers, Jr. from Lee & Rivers LLP to anyone needing help with a problem in the scope of family law litigation.

Bob Rivers is a brilliant, hard working, savvy and compassionate attorney who has tremendous expertise in Family Law. My case was financially complicated and Bob worked hard to enforce my rights. He was relentless in pursuing every avenue available for getting me the best possible outcome. Bob knows when and whom to enlist in outside help when necessary, as in my case, an equally talented forensic accountant. He was always prompt and available when I needed to speak with him. Witnessing Bob's keen mind navigate the very dense and tangled components of my case with tremendous acumen and agility was the silver lining of the horrific ordeal of divorce. He's a valuable asset to his profession!

After attempting divorce pro-se and failing due to my ex being covertly narcissistic, I was in despair and didn’t know who to turn to that could truly help me. I spent a year stuck not knowing what to do and interviewing different attorneys who did not seem to really understand my situation. I didn’t want to waste myself and my wallet on legal fees and trials because I knew my ex was sneaky and would make the process even harder for me. After consulting with my therapist, she recommended that I call New Hope, to receive additional support I needed for this process. They connected me with a list of legal services, and I contacted the Women’s Bar Foundation, which is where I was matched with Jess. I truly believe Jess was an answer to my prayers. Not only did she agree to take my Divorce case pro-bono, but she also represented me in my restraining order case. She did so with so much grace and knowledge that the judge congratulated her for presenting such a compelling case to him. Not only did he grant me an extension on the restraining order but he granted it for 2 years because of how well the case was presented to him! Jess always listened to me carefully and never missed any details. I never had to repeat myself to her and she was able to understand my situation clearly and comprehensively from the very beginning. She represented me with grace and cohesiveness and she was incredibly kind to me, which is exactly what I needed after everything I had been through for so long. Thanks to Jess, not only was I granted a 2 year extension on the restraining order against my ex, I was also able to get divorced from my abuser, AND she was able to get my children the child support they deserve! I am beyond grateful and happy to have been matched with such an extraordinary Attorney through the Women’s Bar Foundation. Thank you so much Jess! God bless you!!

Last year, 2017, I had called the police because I was assaulted after being asked to move a vehicle. Despite the fact of being injured, I was arrested due to false allegations made by a third party for the benefit of the "victim". I was facing a Malicious destruction of property charge and an Assault and Battery charge. Through Mr. Miller's Strategic coordination and preparation we won the case and the verdict determined NOT guilty on both charges. Mr. Miller, went above and beyond to defend his client. He will work with you to get the job done and to get it done correctly. Mr. Miller was able to convey a message to the Jury of what actually happened despite all of the odds being against us. If you are seeking legal counsel, I highly recommend Mr. Miller, he is a sincere representation of the people and for the people. Due to Mr. Miller's attention to detail, cross examining the victim, and closing statement I was able to let go of the fear and believe in my future again. Thank you Attorney Miller for all that you do.

There were a lot of problems due to delays in construction, permitting issues and my bank not wanted to extend my mortgage rate lock. Dave did an absolutely incredible job handling all of it and got the job done. He is smart, persistent and very easy to work with. Plus, his fee never increased, despite all of the extra work he had to do. This is definitely the guy to hire if you are buyng or selling real estate.

Stefanie and her partner Annelise were my divorce lawyers and they were both fantastic. My divorce was very hostile (think false accusations of abuse) but I felt taken care of because I was in such good hands. They were attentive and responsive to my concerns, they explained everything about the process to me so I knew what to expect, and they played hardball to negotiate a settlement that was more than fair for me. Stefanie in particular was a great help in keeping me calm during the whole emotional divorce process and acting as a buoy and an anchor on court day when I needed pep talks. She knows her stuff and can back it up with results.

I would like to thank Atty. Stefanie Fisher at the Law Offices of Araujo & Fisher LLC. Thanks to Stefanie Fisher and Annelise Araujo my husband and me have the green cards/permanent residency. Stefanie and Annelise studied my case in its entire details before suggesting different options. Stefanie is very professional, efficient, honest, and knowledgeable. She is very talented in understanding the client’s concerns, and she guided me through the entire green card process - extremely well organized, kept me informed, always returned my calls and emails whenever I had a question or concern, and above all she is extremely nice human being. Thank you Stefanie! I strongly recommend Stefanie Fisher to anyone seeking legal immigration advice.

Stefanie Fisher is a VERY good lawyer. I found her by chance on the internet and I must say I was not disappointed at all. She defended my sister's case with intelligence, integrity and she genuinely cared. My sister's case ended well and Stefanie Fisher was able to get deportation lifted, and is now assisting with getting permanent residency reinstated. Stefanie is very transparent and is not afraid to say, "I don't know" but she will do the research necessary to attain accurate information. She is also a no-nonsense lawyer, so she expects you to do your part; That is, I believe, a major component to the success of a case. Stefanie expects that from her clients and by doing so there is total buy in on both parties. My family and I are happy with her services, her paralegal was helpful to the case as well. My sister was not made to feel like a criminal. Instead she was treated as a human being relying on the "expertise" of another. The expertise was displayed humbly. I would be remiss if I didn't mention that the judge and prosecutor positively commented on my sister's file. Stefanie's attention to detail and her ability to "dot the i and cross the t" are flawless. She left nothing out! This review is long winded, however, I want to help someone make a decision when searching for an immigration lawyer. STOP! You found her - Stefanie Fisher.

Ira has been fantastic! I reached out to him about an upcoming case regarding debt collection. Due to the case being VERY soon (a few days) he was not able to take it on at the time (understandable, as it was very short notice). He did, however, spend a good deal of time talking me through the process, explaining possible options to take, what I could do to prepare, and possible outcomes. He was polite, patient, and explained everything in perfect detail. I was able to postpone the case due to his assistance, and I plan to work with him again (albeit this time I will be sure to reach out before the 11th hour) and I feel very confident with his skills and experience! I highly recommend him!

He did so knowing that I was outside of his geographic service area, and that I would not be able to hire him. He also asked to keep him posted on a progress of my legal case. Super attorney!

He is a lawyer with much experience and I also witnessed how Stephen is respected by prosecutors and the good relations he maintains.

I reached out to a colleague / friend of mine and he recommend Michael Harriman. I sent an email to him and within a half an hour, there was a connection. Michael understood my relentless frustrations, I sent over the photos of my car accident and that same day – it was a new found relationship that I knew that I didn’t have to worry about. Michael is approachable and the entire process so easy that I knew everything would work out in the long run. His only requirement is transparency because he is advocating for his clients. I kept Michael abreast of every single appointment to every scan that way he just had to collect the data to document. My case was closed out before my 1 year anniversary of my accident and I wouldn’t have done it any other way. Michael Harriman is a true testament to the law and his clients. Great attorney and I would refer him to my family and friends.

“I turned to Attorney Michael Harriman at Harriman Law to pursue a personal injury claim on my behalf after I was seriously injured in a car accident. I sustained a head injury in the accident after a negligent driver ran a stop sign and crashed into my car. Michael zealously pursued the claim – resolving my claims against the negligent driverwhile also convincing my employer’s Workers’ Compensation insurer to accept liability and to (finally!) pay me the wage and medical benefits I was entitled to and that my family so desperately needed after a prolonged absence from work. Throughout the case, Michael was professional, diligent, communicative, and was a fierce advocate in pursuit of my claim. I cannot recommend Michael Harriman and Harriman Law more emphatically. If you have been injured and are in need of a Massachusetts personal injury lawyer who is easy to work with, gets great results, and does everything he can to pursue your case then you should call Michael at Harriman Law right away!”

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 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.

If anybody needs help with false accusations, and women being guided by V.A.W.A . Tanis is your best shot in a positive outcome . Her closing arguments, were powerful and strong , stating facts . Today Justice prevailed and it happened because Tanis Yannettis attention to detail! God Bless America

Attorney Tanis Yannetti was absolutely phenomenal. Tanis recently represented me in my restraining order case. I could not be happier. I was thinking of going in alone. That would have been the worst mistake. For what should have been an easy case soon proved to be an uphill battle. There were things that I would not have been prepared for without the help of Tanis. She is extremely knowledgeable on the laws. She was passionate about my case and fought tooth and nail to have my restraining order overturned. The judge was so ready to rule against me many times but Tanis never gave up. She won my case. On top of her talent in the courtroom she is a kind hearted person and a great listener .....not missing a single detail of my case. Thank You Tanis !

I was a mess and didn’t know where to turn when I was given Henry’s name.

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:
