I used Attorney Thompson for a family case. I was more than satisfied with all of the work he put into my case. And the outcome was everything I wanted and hoped it could be! I would surely use him again if the situation came up and would happily recommend him to anyone looking for a criminal or family lawyer.

Attorney Thompson is an experienced professional who navigates the criminal process and courtroom procedures expediently as well as providing the client with thorough explanations, assurance, and availability for contact with questions or concerns. Attorney Thompson goes above and beyond by explaining his reasoning to the client and allowing the client to properly participate in their course of action, making sure that they are comfortable with all decisions as well as understanding the process.

Attorney Katelyn Burke Mills was invaluable in my process of applying for social Security disability. I would not have been able to navigate the paperwork and appeals process without her patient coaching and persistence in following up needed steps. She took care of many details such as obtaining medical records and filing the appeal forms. I would certainly have given up if it had not been for her encouragement through each step. Katelyn suggested obtaining a cognitive evaluation through my insurance or paying privately. It was not something I would have sought on my own as it is a difficult evaluation. However, that evaluation certainly helped my case. She made sure I was prepared for court so I could participate calmly. I was successfully approved for disability within a surprisingly short overall time frame.
Communication with Attorney Burke Mills was always prompt by phone or email. She checked on my case through court records and updated me with progress and next steps. I would most definitely recommend Attorney Burke Mills to anyone applying for disability.

Katelyn goes above and beyond any Attorney/Client relationship, she has exceeded my expectations with her due diligence and details into specific matters. Her attention to details and data gathering hugely made a difference in my case, which was denied previously two times.
With her help and directions, she was a true professional in front of the Judge Law. From the proceedings which I was a nervous wreck, she calmly walked me trough the process.
From the time I contacted Katelyn I knew I was in better hands than the previous years on trying this process alone. I would Highly recommend Katelyn for any legal proceedings.....

I hired Katelyn to handle my Social security disability claim. From our first meeting until the end of the procedure I felt comfortable that I had the correct person on my team.
At all times thru the process there was never a phone call not answered or returned in a timely fashion. I was constantly kept up to date on my claim.
Yes, I would feel comfortable referring Katelyn.

Bill Proia is one of the best attorneys I have used in my thirty years of real estate. We recently worked on a very sensitive condo project that required careful consideration to the language and laws for our documents. Bill was very professional when working on my behalf with the banks,engineers,and other attorneys. I would recommend Bill over and over again!!

Our condominium board faced a potential lawsuit by a disgruntled unit owner as well as a dispute (with a different unit owner) about the violation of a clause in our Master Deed. Bill Proia advised us on the legalities in both situations, identifying and explaining our options and the possible consequences of the different actions we might take. He consulted with the attorneys for both sets of unhappy owners, drafted letters to the attorneys, helped us draft letters to the affected unit owners, and attended one of our unit owners' meetings to help us inform the group of our situation. He was always responsive, to the point where, so far anyway (because neither case has been entirely resolved yet), we believe that we are in a strong position to prevail in both situations.

We hired Michael Fazio to facilitate the sale of our house in Northborough. From the Purchase & Sale to the closing he was readily available to answer questions and simplify the intentions of the wording. He made adjustments so both sides were happy with the agreement. We were very impressed with the personal attention he gave us which kept the sale on target, and closed on time. We highly recommend Michael Fazio!

I am an attorney who retained the services of Attorney Dowling on behalf of my client in a very complicated, highly emotionally charged probate litigation case. Within a very short period of time Attorney Dowling mastered the facts and the law. Her help was invaluable. She is smart, detail oriented and effective as an advocate.

Attorney Dowling turned things around for me. I have a very complicated case, made much worse by the fact that it was not handled properly by my previous attorneys. Attorney Dowling worked very hard, stopping the loss from the moment that she took over my case. I would strongly recommend her to anyone who has cases related to custody and cross-states jurisdiction.
During the week, we exchanged many emails and had discussions over the phone to clarify my questions and doubts. She understood my case in its complexity and spent hours on documents that I sent her, in order to figure out the right angle to handle the case from. Unlike my previous attorneys, who did not want to spend the time to explain the legal theories and related risks in detail, attorney Dowling would explain the situation patiently and clearly.
From our communication, I feel that attorney Dowling has a very good grasp of legal theories and has a good understanding of different situations and difficult matters. She is the kind of attorney who would only go to the court with a full understanding of the case and thorough preparation.
I was happy to learn of the hearing result. Thank you so much for your hard work, Attorney Dowling!

I consulted Sean regarding a multi-party corporate dispute. He was quick to respond and offered to take my case on contingency. He took a chance on my case and worked diligently on it for over a year. Through this time, he was professional, communicative, and efficient. This was my first time working with an attorney, but Sean made it a relatively painless ordeal. I would recommend him and his colleagues to anyone in the Massachusetts or Maine area.

Without question I would recommend Sean Carnathan as a great Attorney and this is why. This is a must read.
I went to several different lawyers (before Sean) who told me that because my Dad passed away and left the majority 51% of his Company to my Step Mother that my Sister and I were more or less out of luck and most likely forever in her control. They said there was nothing we could do about it. This was bad news for us because we believed and still do that she was a gold digger. My Sister and I were minority shareholders 49% in the Company. We were asked to leave the Company by my Step Mother only months after my Dads passing. She claimed there wasnt enough money to pay everyone as we believed she was financially draining my Dads Agency. She also claimed things that were false about us and we believed she was slandering our names.
I called Sean and he reviewed the entire case from start to finish. I told him what all the other Lawyers said and he replied, well i am not them. At this point I was starting to feel a little hope. We had a Lawyer that was listening to us. He noticed from reading the divorce agreement that my Dad was suppost to have life insurance on his life (with my mom as the beneficiary) until June of his 66th birthday. However he died 6 months before that date and there was no life insurance in force for mom.
Sean also reconized that the estate was insolvent and my Step Mothers Attorneys claimed there wasnt any money to be paid to my mom. All the other Lawyers who I spoke to said the same thing.They said the only substancial assett was the Insurance Agency.
Then Sean told us if my Dad knew he owed this obligation to my Mom and he knew his death was iminent and still turned over the Agency stock (2 days) before he died to us three then that is a fraudgalent transfer.Another words it was against the law. We had an appraisal on the Agency and discovered the life insurance exceeded that amount therefore my mom was the rightful owner and 100% belong to her if she wanted it. My mom was so excited for us kids (my sister and I) she just couldnt believe it. Sean sat down with my Step Mothers Lawyer and showed him where the problems were with the fraudgalent transfer and how Mom was a creditor of the Estate..Her lawyers reconized they had a MAJOR problem. When all the other lawyers said it couldnt be done....Sean said it could be done and we got it done. Mom has stock in the Agency now and she has already made 3 times what her life insurance claim was. My Sister and I have a great career and were also owners in the business.
Its amazing that some Lawyers could so poorly advise you. If we had listened to them we would not be here today. We owe it first to God and then to Sean! YES I recoommend him!!! -Doug

I hired Attorney Carnathan to provide counsel in an out-of-state LLC ownership dispute and my experience with him was exceptional. His knowledge of corporate law, ability to effectively negotiate, and his realistic advice on the probable outcome of the dispute was invaluable throughout the process and probably saved me months of needless wrangling and attorney fees. He promptly answered all telephone calls and emails and provided all necessary documentation to the court and opposing counsel in a timely manner. Although litigation is never a pleasant experience, Attorney Carnathan’s competence and professionalism led to a favorable result for me. I highly recommend him to anyone who requires representation in litigation involving complex corporate law, both in MA and elsewhere.

Brian was an excellent communicator during the closing of my house. He stayed on top of all parties ensuring that he had everything he needed without making constant requests of me. He packaged up a list of everything he needed from me right up front and kept me informed of the progress on the sale. Could not recommend Brian highly enough!

After a terrible experience with another lawyer who gave me the run-around, and calling numerous legal helplines and referral services, I was lucky enough to find Pat. He is extremely professional, knowledgeable, thorough, responsive, and personable. He was not willing to do whatever the client wanted, but instead wanted to have a thorough meeting to discuss my needs in order to determine what would be the best course of action in my situation. I feel like this is the mark of a truly excellent lawyer! He was extremely knowledgable about estate planning, trusts, and housing issues. He also responded to emails almost immediately with precision and thoroughness. I recommend Pat highly!

I am in the process of seeking legal assistance. I contacted Bruce & Kelly law firm in Burlington MA. I was so lucky to get chance talked with Attorney John Bruce directly. Attorney Bruce has great understanding of the medical term and complexity of the treatment which made the conversation very easy. He is very sharp and creative . He pointed out the strength and weakness of my case with the limited information that I provided to him during our conversation. He also provided potential solutions on how to handle the challenges of the case. He is super patient and kind to answer all my questions on a late Friday afternoon.
I definitely would recommend him to others.

Attorney Feeney represented me on a child support order. She was very polished and skilled. Attorney Feeney is so brilliant and clever and quick-witted she danced circles around the opposing Attorney but it was done in such a professional and classy way. I was amazed by her brilliant work. She is in a class all by herself for the work she does. She is a top grade Attorney who will fight for you until the end. Thank you!

After doing a lot of investigation on who I should hiring for an attorney to representation for my divorce which was going to be very difficult due to some military issue and child custody issues Attorney Feeney stood the front lines for me and my child and looked out for what was best for us. She fought hard for us and never backed down. At times I lost hope but she showed the judge what was best for the child and everything turn out great. I trust her and her knowledge of the laws and the court systems. I couldn't say enough on how great she was on protecting my child. Due to abuse I have to keep my name out of this to protect me and my child.

Att. Cormier assisted in the settling and document filing for my husbands estate. I found him to be friendly but professional. He was able to answer most of my questions or was able to get an answer and advise me. I liked that he came to my home when reviewing or signing documents as it would have been a distant to travel. My prior lawyer was giving up his practice and refered Att. Cormier to me.
The rates he charged seem to be in line with others and there was no pressure to pay ahead, etc.
I enjoyed working with Att. Cormier and will call on him as needed. I have recommended him to another for estate planning.

It was really nice to have Attorney Rice by my side during my whole case. John really cared about me and my situation, he checked in on me weekly, and always kept me informed. In the end I could not have made out better in court and without a doubt would not have done it without John. Its refreshing to see first hand an Attorney who really cares about their client. I forever will be thankful for him

I honestly did not feel like Amanda cared too much about my case. She did not keep me in the loop about it, nor did she express any interest on following up with me to see if she could help with anything else, even though I did express an interest in sealing my case. Although her lack of engagement with me as her client translated to a lack of interest in my case, she did get my case dismissed, which was the ultimate goal.

Very poor experience. I was very inexperienced in picking out lawyers and was in a very abusive, tragic situation. She was so cold and shockingly unsupportive. I would never want any women or mother to feel as lousy and unimportant as she made me feel…sadly at the time my self-worth was very low.., she lowered it so much more….I still cringe over the experience 15 years later. if I had had access to more money at the time I would have cut my losses and found someone else.
Not someone I could Ever recommend to anyone.

For my QDRO (qualified domestic retirement order) in Mass, she hired an UN-licensed, NON-qualified individual with an Environmental degree to write this critical document needed to divide our shared retirement assets. She didn't use her own paralegal? The guy botched it, lost 1.5% interest going forward into my future. She did not care. She paid this loser with my funds given her, $3,000 just $300, obviously cheaper than paying her own paralegal. I was cheated out of a fair sale price on my home of 16 years, $60K for a $500K house. She was lazy, didn't care about me, I was thrown out of my home with a restraining order, and not enough money for a hotel while she took her time taking in new clients, I guess. She did little for me and in the end tried to charge me another $2K+. I think she should be disbarred.

I hired this lawyer though the law offices. Not only did she show up at the wrong court building but she made it very clear on a regular basis she was very sympathetic for the woman I was seeking to divorce, as well as outright lie to me about my case. When I decided to seek other representation I told her as a courtesy and so I would not rack up further court fees. In response to me seeking other representation she fired me as a client with a very untrue and damaging letter to the court.
