Eugene has been nothing short of an excellent source of information, support and structure throughout my MVA. He made the process easy to understand, effectively communicated our team’s goals and hopes to the litigation, and transformed it into a winning settlement that exceeded my expectations. I cannot give Eugene enough praise for sticking with us through the 3 and a half years between the courts, lawyers, medical visits and paperwork signing. If you need an attorney this is the only one worth hiring.

Recently, Eugenie worked on my case (civil suit). I was the defendant, Eugenie was very attentive, He tried to clarify every detail about this case. He prepared me well for the trial, Eugenie represented me at the trial and we won the trial! I was incredibly happy, because I had to win this case and Eugenie did it!
The most important thing I can say is that Eugenie not only prepares well for a case - he feels what needs to be said to the judge for the highest chance of winning the case

Scott Alevras is vey thorough and knowledgeable lawyer. He is attentive, communicative and punctual for every court date, which is very helpful and an important quality in a lawyer for a client.

As you read the other 5,732 positive reviews about Musto & Alevras, especially the ones singling out Scott’s fine attention to detail, personal etiquette towards clientele and tenacious understanding and execution of local law for a positive case result. The question above all is, how accurate is it and is Scott the right lawyer for me. Well I can certainly tell you, if you are looking for a straight shooter, someone with enough balls to adamantly argue the facts and exercise all angles of your case, ultimately ending up with the best possible outcome any legal liaison could have done. You have my word you’ve got the right guy.
The reality of the situation is about 70% of us found ourselves in a jam, be it right or wrong; and now need a legal specialist to tailor fit the truths of evidence and mold them together with all those multifaceted nuances of legal ins and outs. And get us out of this pickle! Which is exactly what Scott flawlessly did for me; and I am ridiculously grateful to him for it.
Having grown up with a family full of cops, detectives and FBI. I am a pretty fair candidate to have seen the good and ugly of both sides of the law. Along with what can but shouldn’t be lied about or manipulated all in the name of closing the case, getting their man. I have found the methods of the court have very little to do with right or wrong. It’s a business, it’s a negotiation, it’s about who’s willing to stay at the table the longest, who can maneuver the facts of the case with the most finesse and strength and who has the most respected relationships with the municipal and superior court system players. When I’m at the table making a business deal, I need someone who has not only the mental resources to play the game till the end, but also someone who embodies all the attributes to close that deal where you walk away from the table knowing you got the best result. Scott clearly has proven that throughout the local legal community, and he’s my guy.
Anyone who is inquiring, is more than welcome to message me for a reference

It's not everyday that I take the time to post a review let alone one with a five star rating. For Eric though I have to. About two years ago I came to him with a sensitive legal issue. Since then Eric has handled everything you need a lawyer for....You name it he did it. Estate transfer to close my husbands Moms house, the house closing, title searches etc. All along the way Eric was informative about every step and then some. I learned quite a lot. He never held anything back and he treated me like a partner. There will never be another lawyer for me or my family. Kudos Eric. I can never thank you enough.

Sophia was excellent. I was being charged with a 6 point speeding ticket and a license suspension. When no one thought I can avoid the suspension, Sophia made it happen. Because of Sophia’s amazing work and knowledge I walked away with only 2 points and no license suspension. I would very highly recommend consulting and hiring Sophia for all your legal needs.

As a fire time home buyer this was an incredibly stressful process for me. I had a largely negative experience with my primary realtor, the seller, and my inspector, but the highlight of this entire experience was my attorney. Andy helped lobby for some of the issues I was experiencing well after the sale when others were not nearly as responsive and I appreciated his sincerity. I would recommend him.

We’ve used the services of Susheela Verma for over 15 years both at the personal and professional level. I personally came to know her as an employee of one of her corporate clients in to 1998. When I started my own business, I reached out to her to her for our legal needs. Over these years she has been our attorney for corporate litigation, regulatory compliance, business immigration and personal needs. I have found her grasp of complex business/legal issues is quick and her advice is direct and insightful against any potential negative/risk scenarios in protecting our business interests. I have found her to be a capable negotiator. Needless to say, in my two decades of experience with her, her advice may not please you but it is has been the right advice for our business. Needless to say, our experience has been very positive and successful.

Discovering I had cancer, very shortly after spinal surgery, was more than anyone could bare. After filing for Social Security Disability, I knew right away that I was going to need legal advice. I was referred to Gary Flynn, made an appointment to meet with him and have not regretted having him represent me. Not only is he an outstanding lawyer, he is even more so, a remarkable human being. He is very knowledgeable regarding the laws and how they pertain to his client's. I will be forever gratefull to him as a person, thankful he successfully won my case and recommend him to anyone who seeks his service.

I am a college student that had gotten into a car accident while I was on my way back to school. When consulting with Mr. Flynn, he was very respectful and concerned for me as a client. He made sure to make me feel as though he was actually there to help me with my case rather then in it for the wrong reasons- which I had experienced prior to finding him. Mr. Flynn is a very a understandable and reasonable man, he does more than his best to make you feel like you are a friend and not just a client. But while in the courtroom, he is very professional and will do everything in his power to win your case! I would and have recommended Mr. Flynn to anyone that needs help!

John is superb. He is the third attorney that I have worked with in my protracted divorce, custody fights and ongoing litigation with my ex-wife. I wish he had been my first. He knows the law, is always prepared and does not make promises he can't keep. We actually went to trial and John was always in control. I trust John completely.

I was referred by a colleague, who as an attorney, explained to me that if he ever needed a divorce attorney he would hire John Paone. I knew there would be no doubt that my divorce was going to be ugly and complicated. My soon to be ex was less than reasonable. (Actually, he was totally unreasonable!) Retaining John was the best thing I could have ever done. I felt confident having Mr. Paone as my attorney, in fact, he was so prepared and organized that the opposition would often ask John for copies of documents in court. Everyone was amazed as was the judge! John is well informed of the law, keeps current, is thorough, organized, articulate, and probably one of the best litigators one could ever want. I was proud and relieved he was on my side.
If you need someone who will represent you as if you were his family, I would suggest hiring John Paone. He will tell you like it is so there are no surprises. You can sleep good at night knowing that he is prepared for anything or anyone! I was very pleased with the outcome of my settlement and I have John to thank for that! I am not a big fan of lawyers ( sorry John!) but he is one that earns the highest level of respect from me!
Thank you Mr. John P. Paone!
