If you’re searching for a defense attorney who will fight for your freedom like your life depends on it—because it does—Paul Moraski is the only name you need to know. He represented my sister in what felt like a completely hopeless case, spanning three different courts. To say the odds were against us would be an understatement. We had a better chance of witnessing God part the seas than avoiding jail time—but Paul made the impossible happen. His results were nothing short of miraculous. From the very first appearance, it was clear that his reputation and respect in the courtroom were well-earned. He knows exactly what he’s doing, and his command of the legal process transformed our overwhelming, anxiety-filled nightmare into a smooth and manageable experience. He guided us every step of the way with confidence and compassion. Paul is worth every penny we spent—no small statement from two single mothers of four children. He didn’t need our business and had no obligation to accommodate us financially, but he graciously worked out a payment arrangement without hesitation. He isn’t just an exceptional lawyer—he’s a genuinely good person. I truly hope we never need his services again, but if we do, Paul Moraski will be our only call. If you want an attorney who delivers results that defy belief, trust him. You won’t regret it.

Honestly I can't say enough about this Lawyer I've had my share of lawyers but by far never had one who not only allowed me to make payments but gave me a reasonable fee for what ended up being a 3 different court probation violation I never saw 1 minute in jail...(which everyone knows the first thing that happens on a PO Violation is that your held) Paul held me responsible, he is a straight shooter very upfront n honestly about what to expect never once guaranteed no jail time but definitely after watching him in all 3 courts without question I feel very confident to have Paul as my go to Lawyer for anything criminal!! He's worth every cent you pay!! Paul also gave me a awesome referral to another lawyer for my sister for a NH case it's really to bad he doesn't do NH Law!! But his referral was also very amazing as well!! So super grateful for meeting Paul I'm so confident I wouldn't hesitate to call Paul everytime!!! If you are looking for a amazing, we'll put together, very confident lawyer who knows the inside and out of all of the courts this is your man!! Thanks again!!!

Attorney Monquie Lamb is an absolute lifesaver! After years of navigating a complex custody battle with multiple ineffective attorneys, I finally found the legal representation I needed. Attorney Lamb is incredibly knowledgeable and experienced in family law, and she has been instrumental in helping me dismiss all opposing parties' motions. Her dedication to her clients is unmatched, and she's not afraid to hold you accountable when necessary. I appreciate her honest and straightforward approach. As a single mother of three, I was concerned about legal fees, but Ms. Lamb's rates are reasonable and have been well worth the investment. I wholeheartedly recommend her services to anyone facing a challenging custody case.

The Law Office of Thomas J. Taranto, P.C. efficiently handled my difficult divorce case, despite having an uncooperative spouse. Tom was professional, creative, and adaptable throughout the process, pivoting when necessary to bring my case to a quicker resolution. This not only saved me time but also reduced my legal fees. While his services were more expensive upfront, the quality of work and the money saved in the long run made it worthwhile. I highly recommend Tom for anyone seeking a dedicated and effective attorney who truly looks out for their clients’ best interests.

John and his team took over a case for me that involved a very difficult attorney on the other side. My case was floundering due in large part to bad lawyering by my previous attorney. John is thorough and careful to document everything in a way that reduces the chances of problems down the road. He does not have a combative or emotional practice style (combative is very expensive for you) and will help you to take some of your emotion out out of the process. He is assessable and responsive (and I am short on patients). His hourly rate is on the high side but his billing practices are very reasonable. The saying, "you get what you pay for", is especially true when it comes to lawyers representing you against a party that wants to take as much as they can from you.

I feel so fortunate to have had Judson Pierce represent me in my workman's compensation claim with the City of Boston. Judson for our initial meeting was kind enough to come to my house and explained to me in clear understandable language what my options were in making a claim. I was injured while at work and was out of work for over one year. Judson worked with the City of Boston lawyers, my doctors and other people involved with the case for over one and half years. He was always accessible, either through email or telephone calls. I always felt invited and that my case was his most important at the time. The law office staff were always clear and would provide messages to Judson for me. I was in court three times and each time Judson was totally prepared and presented my case to the judge in a clear amiable way. Recently Judson was able to work with the City of Boston and get a settlement for me. I can't thank Judson and his law office enough. I feel so fortunate that he was the lawyer on my case. He provided excellent guidance and help throughout this whole process . I highly recommend this law office.

He was deeply knowledgeable in all facets of the process, helped us through a variety of hurdles we ran into along the way with patience and understanding, and was unfailingly kind throughout the entire experience. Should we ever choose to buy or sell again we would reach out to him in a heartbeat, and we recommend him and his firm without reservation.

Dena Dionne is the best lawyer I've ever met! She's refuses to drop a case. I parked in her parking space, and she asked me to move. I said don't worry about it, we'll move. She spent the next 5 minutes berating me to get down to the bottom of it. She continued to question me when I moved my car around the corner. She is a relentless lawyer, who will not stop until she gets justice! She even took pictures of my license plate, meaning she does her homework. I am an upstanding citizen who rarely has trouble with the law. But next time I do, guess where I'm going.? Dionne & White! Sincerely -2pae73

Edward (Teddy) got my case dismissed with tact and finesse. He is friendly, relatable, and easy to communicate with. Although mine was not a complicated case, anything can happen in a courtroom. As someone with thankfully very little experience with these kinds of proceedings, it brought me peace of mind to have him expertly leading the way. I couldn't be more thrilled with both the outcome and the experience working with Teddy.

I own a retail computer repair shop in Gloucester Massachusetts. We on occasion have the need for data recovery services. We were solicited by Fat Guy Bald Guy Computer services in 2015 and inn the hopes we would use their data recovery service. We obliged and availed ourselves of their services which initially were excellent. Over time however the level of service deteriorated to the point where we could not contact them either by phone or email in regards to 2 hard drives we had sent them for data recovery. Upon speaking to Richard he immediately researched the company and located their legal name and drafted a demand letter which he promptly sent to them. We are awaiting a response. Richard is the consummate professional and his knowledge in these matters is exceptional. I would highly recommend him to anyone in need of legal assistance or advice.

Denise was the third attorney who represented me, as the Personal Representative, in a highly contested and litigious probate estate that spanned 10 years. Unlike my prior attorneys who had represented me in this case, she was diligent in her representation and I found her to have the highest level of integrity and legal expertise. The case involved multiple beneficiaries, multiple attorneys and contests to the will and through it all Denise was steadfast. She was always focused on resolution and not on her economic bottom line. If you are seeking an attorney who will look out for your interests I would highly recommend her in the area of probate law.

I hired Denise after having a poor experience with a lawyer that was recommended through family. My father had passed away without a will and I needed to become the representative of the estate. After waiting 4 months on the other lawyer and taking time off from work to travel to Massachusetts to meet with him I hired Denise. In less than 10 business days she had me appointed as the representative of the estate. I also had to go through probate court for a license to sell my father's home and she handled that process even faster. You always hear stories that Mass probate court is a nightmare but Denise made the process seem easy and seamless (although I am sure she had to jump through hoops to get everything done so quickly). We conducted everything via phone, email and mail. She made a very emotional and stressful process manageable.

Denise assisted me during a very confusing and frightening time. I never had a question go unanswered. She was patient with questions and anxieties about the case. She clearly outlined everything she was going to do and was able to follow through with it all. She seemed to genuinely care about the outcomes and how they would affect my family. She was able to advocate for me with the other lawyer and succeeded in getting my family what we needed in a divorce and custody agreement. I feel my case was not an easy one. I had many questions and was very anxious. Denise had a caring attitude, always listened, answered questions efficiently and helped me maintain a positive outlook because of her confidence, and professionalism. With this review, she comes to you highly recommended by a single mom. I received exactly what I needed and wanted.

My husband was injured at work 3 years ago. Attorney Dan Napolitano took us thru the entire process as my husband is now permanently disabled.

I had the best experience with having Daniel Napolitano represent me in my workers compensation case. Daniel and his staff went above and beyond to make sure everything was taken care of and all questions answered. Daniel walked me through every step of the way so I would not be surprised by anything that came up. I would strongly recommend Daniel Napolitano to anyone that may need to be represented or if you feel you have questions as whether to move forward in getting someone to represent you in a workers compensation case.

Rob helped represent me after I was rear ended in my car. I was in considerable back pain and he started out by giving advice on courses of treatment that may be helpful, and I ended up with a chiropractor that totally helped bring me back to health. He took care of me every step of the way including compiling all my receipts from treatment. He kept me updated throughout the entire case at every step. He has a very easy way of explaining things and also sharing his opinion to guise you while also asking for yours. I would recommend Rob without question to anyone who needs a personal injury lawyer. I can't imagine a more professional and compassionate individual to help you!

I had the pleasure of working with Robert for a personal injury case that lasted a couple years. He was extremely professional and always kept me updated on the progress of the case as it progressed. He also provided clear explanations and insight into the legal side of things to help me understand how the case would work and what he was doing behind-the-scenes on my behalf. At every step of the way Robert was always in contact via phone or email, and made time to discuss things in more detail if I was unclear on anything. His diligent work gave me time to focus on my recovery with much less stress and for this I am extremely thankful. In the end, Attorney Hartigan was able to reach a very favorable result for me, and I would highly recommend him to anyone who has been unfortunate enough to need a lawyer for their own personal injury case, he will not disappoint!

I recently used Sweeney and Merrigan to represent me. It makes sense why this firm has such a high rating. Mark Cashman was aces. He actually listened to everything i had to say and I could not be happier to have him represent me. Especially when 3 other attorneys didn’t want anything to do with the case. These guys will fight for their clients and get you what you deserve. I highly recommend using this firm and Mark in particular. Shot out to Peter Merrigan also. I will be sending people your way moving forward. 5/5 stars+

My experience with Mark at Sweeney Merrigan Law greatly exceeded my expectations. As difficult as this process has been, it could not have gone any smoother working with Mark. When I first reached out to this firm, I included a blurb about my case and Mark reached out immediately. My case was complex, but he did not dismiss it. Instead, he covered all the details with me and sent me an article that resembled my medical situation. He kept me in the loop as he consulted experts and he continued to update me for the next three years. Any time I reached out to him with a question, he responded quickly. He checked in with me every so often to discuss the case and he made sure that I felt prepared for both the deposition and the settlement meeting. This process is incredibly uneasy and it is difficult not knowing the outcome. Mark knew my case inside and out, and I always knew I could count on him. He kept me calm and collected and I could not have asked for a better attorney to work with.

Andrea was referred to us by the bank my father in law uses. She offered one hour of free consultation to help us get my mother in law onto Mass Health. I was trying to do it myself but was way over my head. My father in law was apprehensive about what it was going to take to do this. Andrea calmed him down and took her time to explain everything. We hired her and she was great to work with. She kept us informed every step of the way. She was so good dealing with my father in law I know I said it before but it isn't an easy thing to do. She answered all questions and used emails most of the time to correspond with us. My wife and I paid another lawyer for an hour consultation but my father in law would not go thru with getting her onto Mass Health. Andrea was a saint who came to us.

Going through with a legal matter can be very stressful and I have been very fortunate to have found an outstanding, thoughtful, articulate, honest and caring lawyer with Andrea Gomez. She listens and remembers everything you tell her, even the smallest of details. Her writing skill are incredible, so much so that the Judge will take notice. She is very patient with her client (like me) and is always thinking what the next best thing to do for her client will be. My case has been a difficult case. She has not let that stop her. She tackles it with gusto and follows through till the end. She also has the ability to make you smile when things are getting tough. As you can see I cannot say enough great things about her. My only complaint is that I did not find her earlier. I would highly recommend Andrea Gomez as a attorney.

If you’re searching for a defense attorney who will fight for your freedom like your life depends on it—because it does—Paul Moraski is the only name you need to know. He represented my sister in what felt like a completely hopeless case, spanning three different courts. To say the odds were against us would be an understatement. We had a better chance of witnessing God part the seas than avoiding jail time—but Paul made the impossible happen. His results were nothing short of miraculous. From the very first appearance, it was clear that his reputation and respect in the courtroom were well-earned. He knows exactly what he’s doing, and his command of the legal process transformed our overwhelming, anxiety-filled nightmare into a smooth and manageable experience. He guided us every step of the way with confidence and compassion. Paul is worth every penny we spent—no small statement from two single mothers of four children. He didn’t need our business and had no obligation to accommodate us financially, but he graciously worked out a payment arrangement without hesitation. He isn’t just an exceptional lawyer—he’s a genuinely good person. I truly hope we never need his services again, but if we do, Paul Moraski will be our only call. If you want an attorney who delivers results that defy belief, trust him. You won’t regret it.

Honestly I can't say enough about this Lawyer I've had my share of lawyers but by far never had one who not only allowed me to make payments but gave me a reasonable fee for what ended up being a 3 different court probation violation I never saw 1 minute in jail...(which everyone knows the first thing that happens on a PO Violation is that your held) Paul held me responsible, he is a straight shooter very upfront n honestly about what to expect never once guaranteed no jail time but definitely after watching him in all 3 courts without question I feel very confident to have Paul as my go to Lawyer for anything criminal!! He's worth every cent you pay!! Paul also gave me a awesome referral to another lawyer for my sister for a NH case it's really to bad he doesn't do NH Law!! But his referral was also very amazing as well!! So super grateful for meeting Paul I'm so confident I wouldn't hesitate to call Paul everytime!!! If you are looking for a amazing, we'll put together, very confident lawyer who knows the inside and out of all of the courts this is your man!! Thanks again!!!

Kathryn was recommended for her elder law expertise. She helped create a customized 'family contract' for our unique situation, which required her partnering with a NY lawyer, as well. In parallel, we used her for our own estate planning, and are to return this month to update the original documents she provided in a timely manner. The occasion of reviewing the documents to prep for the upcoming meeting reminded us of how thorough and thoughtful she was in completing our wills, trusts et al. We highly recommend her services.

His knowledge of real estate showed distinctly when working with the solar company (the home has leased solar panels) - he was able to negotiate the removal of a lien on the property to ensure that our lender was given first lien priority. He took the time to explain everything we had questions about at closing. In short, I would highly recommend Jonathan.

Attorney Trista Christensen represented me on a legal matter, which resulted in a very favorable and fair outcome for me. The qualities that make Trista stand out from all the rest, include but are not limited to: her high level of integrity, honesty, and transparency. She’s a straight shooter, which is tempered by her genuine compassion, sincerity, and respect for others. She knows the law, and is willing to take the time to explain things about the judicial system to her clients that is relative to their particular case, and in a way that for a layperson such as myself, makes perfect sense. Trista makes herself accessible to her clients in person, by phone, and email. Her response time through all measures of communication was both timely and helpful to me. Her fees were reasonable and appropriate. Trista’s area of expertise is broad based, including probate and real estate law which is this is good to know, in the event that I need to seek her legal expertise in other areas as well. In view of the above, I fully endorse Trista without any reservation whatsoever, and will not only seek her legal expertise in the future if I have a need to do so, but will also unhesitatingly refer family, friends, and others as well.

I had a minority shareholder working for my company that was just not performing up to our company’s standards and actually blocking its growth. I offered to fairly buy the shareholder out and we came to an agreement and shook hands on it over dinner. A day before the shareholder was to sign she backed out. John Andrews was recommended to me by a trusted adviser of my company, and what a great recommendation it turned out to be. John handled the case perfectly and efficiently negotiating a very fair buyout, without litigation, in a matter of months when these types of situations can easily last years! He handled everything so I could run my company without the distractions these type of situations normally produce. He concisely explained all my options defining the pros and cons of each important decision in a non-legalese way that allowed me to understand them so I could make the important decisions. He was responsive with communications even at night, weekends and holidays. I trust John implicitly. In fact I now consult John on much more than just legal advice with my company; I now draw on his expertise for all of my important life/financial decisions and their subsequent legal matters. I highly recommend John to anyone in a legal bind and/or just for sound professional legal advice. Sincerely, Matt

I had reason to need a lawyer not too long ago and John made what could have been a very painful experience into one that I could handle. John went above and beyond to make sure no one else took advantage of me or my situation. I feel that anyone that requires a lawyer should do themselves a favor and hire a lawyer that is very approachable for the client but aggressive when it comes to fighting for his clients rights. I would gladly advise that John be the first call in pretty much all circumstances and stand back and let a true professional bring it home.

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:
