Jessica is a professional on every level. She is fair, upfront, honest, sincere, and handled my case out of the highest concern for not myself, but my children, who were at the heart of a stressful event in my life. Jessica exhibits high moral character, inspiring integrity, & a high level of, not only understanding, but knowledge about the legal system that made dealing with the courts a smooth process for me.
I highly recommend Jessica's services to anyone seeking legal counsel.

I was referred to Alex and his paralegal assistant, Amy, by a friend of mine. In my opinion, personal references are worth their weight in gold as there are so many law offices competing for your business today. How do you choose? Which one should you trust? Well, I am pleased to say that I was delighted that I listened to my friend and contacted this law office. During my initial meeting with Alex and Amy they both took the time to explain, in detail, the steps that would be required to address my probate issue and how long each step would take and why. They made sure I was comfortable with their advice and recommendations. I have used many attorneys over many years for personal, probate and real estate transactions - some good and some bad. I must say that Alex and Amy provided me with straightforward answers, prompt and courteous service at a reasonable price. They also left the door open for me to come back if I had any follow up questions or concerns. I will definitely knock on their door for future legal needs. So, my overall assessment of their service would have to be excellent!

Having gone through a devastating divorce Alex and Amy were recommended by a friend who was my therapist. They were supportive emotionally and helped me get through the process of the divorce. They got me through a very rough patch and made the process easy and they were extremely approachable and accommodating to my schedule. Because of their professionalism and Amy's friendship I was able to get though it with ease. Thank you so much. I would highly recommend them!

We have been clients for over 25 years. We have used Attorney Monac for home purchases, refinances, wills, and business document reviews. Our services have gone smoothly and stress free. Attorney Monac has excellent negotiation skills, attention to detail, and superior legal knowledge. Most importantly he can deescalate a "charged" situation through professionalism, preventive communication, and sometimes a little humor. I would highly recommend Attorney Monac.

Attorney Cliff Monac helped us on our closing for our single family purchase. We felt very comfortable with him because he took the time to explain everything we needed and answered questions before we even thought to ask them! We were well taken care of because he is professional, thorough, and gave us great advice on all aspects of our real estate transaction. Everything went smoothly and there were no surprises or complications during the process. We recommend Cliff highly and will absolutely use him again for our next closing.

Bryan took care of 2 open issues that had been on my list for a long time. One was getting a laptop, 2 screens, a docking station and other misc computer stuff from an employee who quit and walked away. The second was a new non-compete/non solicitation agreement for all of my employees to stay compliant with MA. A+ and thank you.

I was involved in a Dealership mishap and was referred to Bryan for legal advice. Bryan was very knowledgeable and caring and set my mind at ease, as this was an overwhelming situation for me. I cannot thank him enough. He provided me valuable information and did not charge me a dime. If in the future I ever need to hire an attorney he will be the one I contact.
Thank you again Bryan, I really appreciate all your help!

I found myself in a tough situation when my landlord threatened to withhold my security deposit and demanded that I compensate him for two years of water and sewage bills amounting to just under 3k. I consulted Bryan and he reviewed my lease and sent a letter to the landlord. Bryan negotiated the return of my security deposit and I did not have to pay any money toward water and sewage. Bryan was well informed as to the applicable laws, knew my rights, and kept me well informed. I would certainly hire Bryan again, and recommend him to anybody seeking legal representation

I have used Dina for two separate RE transactions both very complicated in nature. The first was a commercial land lease with unique environmental, zoning, and planning restrictions and it also involved a business transaction/ contract between two close friends. Dina was able represent me and make a deal that was good for all parties involved. She listens, asks the right questions, understands the underlying issues, and advised me regarding risks for which only an experienced professional like her would foresee.
She kept our legal fees to a minimum by working through the details of the agreement efficiently and procedurally; and we were left with a deal that was well written and well executed for all parties involved.
Shortly thereafter I used Dinas services to close on the sale of my home and the concurrent purchase of a new home. This processes was much more involved than I would have anticipated. Dina was able to put me in touch with a fantastic network of RE professionals which offered further ROI, in short my deal would not have worked without Dina and the team we assembled.
In a digital age where many attorneys are rubber stamping and boiler plating deals, Dina offers a breath of fresh air as she understands that every deal is different as are the needs of each client. She constantly over delivers and exceeds all expectation. If you are working a real-estate transaction having a high performance professional like Dina on your team is a must.

Dina Browne has represented us for 3 separate real estate transactions...flawlessly. Every purchase or sale seems to bring some nonsense, often emotional in nature. Dina has a unique ability to slice through the silliness and get the deal done. She does this with unusually good humor and is able to keep the testosterone levels...on both sides of the transaction...down. She works and responds quickly and efficiently, making you feel as though you're her most important client. Dina has repeatedly protected our interests, managing all the endless minutiae in a manner that seems effortless, even though it's not. Her fees are really quite modest for the level of service and performance she provides.
We would not, under any circumstances, buy or sell real estate without Atty. Browne representing us..period.

Atty Browne was a joy with whom to work. She was knowledgeable and erudite. At no time did I feel like I was floundering in a myriad of paper work. Each step of the way was explained and made understandable for those of us whom are
not lawyers. From the Purchase and Sale to the Recording of the buyers deed was handled professionally and expeditiously. She was a pleasure for these retired teachers to have on our team.

Divorce is never easy. I hired Attorney Straccia after my first attorney was not able to perform as promised. I was skeptical at first because of my past experience. As a result, Attorney Straccia listened to my situation and showed great compassion. I found him to be extremely honest and forthcoming. I explained to him my financial situation as I had paid my previous lawyer a small fortune and had negative results. He assured me that he wouldn't in any way overcharge me and that he would be upfront and honest with the process and all of the incurring expenses. I found him to be true to his word. I received everything that I expected and I am very satisfied with the results. Of course I wish I went to his office in the first place. I would highly recommend Attorney Straccia for his honesty and integrity. I was very impressed by his professionalism and I feel lucky to have had him take my case. I will be contacting his office in the future if necessary as I know I will be treated fairly with the utmost respect. I can’t thank him enough for all of his help. I would highly recommend him to my friends and family that if they are ever in an unfortunate situation as I was, to call his office first. I now can move on with my life in a very positive way knowing that I had the best representation in the end and that’s all that really matters now.

Pat Straccia is the king of due diligence, I had a really big meeting set up for 10 AM and even though it was a nuisance he changed it to 11 for me which doesn’t sound like much but to me it meant everything. One thing I can say about Pat is he will make sure you’re protected.

Pat and his team worked with me to close a real estate transaction. He worked with me through a challenging process and provided amazing support through everything. Even after everything closed and there were some last items to tie up he continued to work with me through it all. Very grateful for Pat's assistance and hard work on my behalf.

After months of not knowing quite what to do, I was referred to Jim by a friend who is also an attorney. I met with Jim and immediately felt like everything was going to be OK. I was impressed by his knowledge, professional demeanor, and very strong support staff. My case was intimidating to most lawyers and I think some ran in the other direction, because it was clear this case was going to require a trial. Jim was not afraid to get down and dirty. This guy actually loves the courtroom. Too many lawyers want the settlement, and that is not always the best move for the client. I am very pleased with the way my case was handled, and finally, I am not getting abused at work. It took some work, but Jim never wavered. Great experience all around. Jim's administrative staff, and his performance in the courtroom reminded me that Lawyers are part of the solution, not the problem.

From start to finish Jim and his team made the purchase of my first home seamless and simple. It was a stressful process dealing with realtors, banks, and sellers, but when it came to the closing Jim was well prepared. With over 28 years of experience, Jim is a great advocate to have in your corner when dealing with such a large purchase.
I would highly recommend Jim and his team to any first-time home buyer who is unfamiliar with the process.

When thinking of crummy or truly awful lawyers, no conversation would be complete without mentioning this lazy, thin skinned, positively terrible excuse for an attorney. She was appointed by the state to represent a child who was horribly abused by the parents. She skips meetings, doesn't show for crucial court dates (she had a "24 hour cold" is the last excuse among many), doesn't return urgent messages from the child, and gets indignant when questioned about her so called efforts on the child's behalf.
If you are looking for a decent attorney, my advice would be to keep looking! Our experience with this person has been horrible. It's an ongoing nightmare.
