Karol helped my aunt obtain her green card through a complicated immigration process.
She went above and beyond through the whole process. Immigration can be
emotionally taxing but she supported her and provided reassurance. I admire her composure, empathy, and overall work ethic.
Karol gets my highest recommendation as an immigration lawyer. My family cannot thank you enough for everything you did.

Thank You Karol!! I don’t have words to express my gratitude to you. You went above and beyond to help me. You showed a deep understanding of my personal situation and demonstrated empathy through the legal process. Attorney Karol Hickey fought for me even when I didn’t have no more energy to fight for myself, and was all worth it. If you need an attorney please don’t hesitate, Karol is the best 🥰
Karol may God bless you and your family and give you strength and energy to keep doing this wonderful job 🥰

I was very fortunate to have been given a recommendation to karli from another local attorney. I reached out to karli, and she responded very quickly. Was very attentive from the start. I felt extremely comfortable, and confident very quickly after talking/meeting with her, That karli is the attorney that knows exactly how to treat clients, and knows her career. Karli takes alot of pride in ehat she does, she is very intelligent. I was impressed how quickly she knew exactly what she was going to do/had to do. Her communication with me was great, her willingness to be flexible in meeting as we were 45 minutes apart. Not planning on it, but if needed an attorney again, karli will be the one I can count on, and anyone considering karli, you will not be disappointed

I was referred to Karli from another attorney.
Upon contacting her, she responded back timely and asked plenty of questions.
Karli followed up with me shortly after and went over the whole plan, explaining her steps and why she was doing what she was.
During our hearing, Karli spoke with passion and did not hesitate to be direct. She was able to give me a positive outcome.
Her communication is tremendous. And Karli did everything as promised without any trouble.

I recently hired Matt Karr and his team to assist me with getting Mass Health for my brother. I did my due diligence in researching many firms that just specializes in this area, and made my decision to go with Heritage and am so glad I did! It can be a very daunting and overwhelming process to say the very least and could have never done on my own. They are extremely knowledgeable of all the nuances and intricacies involved in the ever changing process of these laws! The ParaLegal Kelly is amazing and knows everything there is to know about Mass Health and the application process. She is very thorough as well as patient in answering any questions I had and I had ALOT! Whenever I was stressed she would put me at ease in explaining the process in a way I would understand. I would highly recommend them to anyone and look forward to working with them in the future!

Excellent Lawyer: Highly Recommend for Criminal Defense
I am extremely grateful for Paul Moraski’s support and expertise in resolving a complex legal issue I was facing. From the start, he was thorough, professional, and dedicated to achieving the best outcome. I was in a challenging situation that could have had serious implications for my career, but Paul handled it with skill and confidence. He successfully negotiated a dismissal with a year-long contingency, which allowed me to move forward with my life. I can’t thank him enough for his diligence and highly recommend him to anyone in need of a strong defense attorney.
Lastly, he was super easy to call or text at any hour to relieve me if I had any questions about anything, no redirection to his Office or an assistant. I found that to be invaluable, and I was surprised at the accessibility. He really goes above and beyond for his clients. I definitely understand why he’s a top attorney in Boston.

While on vacation in Boston, I was falsely accused of a serious crime, arrested, and faced with felony charges.
After spending the night in jail, I was assigned a public defender who was entirely unfamiliar with my case. Unfortunately, not only was this public defender incompetent, but he also lacked the appropriate credentials to handle a case of such seriousness.
I was facing a minimum of five years in prison, and my bail was set at $60,000. The public defender made no effort to fight for me. He didn't attempt to have my bail reduced or identify any weaknesses in the case against me. Instead, he simply agreed with the prosecutor and judge, and I was sent back to jail.
After three nights in jail, my family informed me that they had hired a criminal defense attorney named Paul Moraski, who would be visiting me in a couple of days.
True to their word, Paul arrived at the jail two days later. I was escorted by a correctional officer to meet him. From the moment we met, I knew Paul was the right lawyer for me. He had an incredible personality, was highly educated and knowledgeable, and held himself to a very high standard. For the first time, I felt hopeful again.
The first thing Paul said to me was, "We’re going to beat this case." He then assured me, "I am going to get your bail reduced from $60,000 to $30,000 so you can go home." Paul not only understood my case thoroughly but also knew the courtroom inside and out, thanks to his 14+ years of experience.
Two days later, I had another court appearance, and Paul was outstanding. He successfully persuaded the judge to lower my bail from $60,000 to $30,000, allowing my family to secure my release.
The night I was bailed out, Paul immediately called to congratulate me on going home. He reassured me once again, saying, "There are numerous holes in your case, and you have nothing to worry about."
Despite Paul's reassurances, I remained anxious about my case after returning home and would call him weekly. Each time, Paul answered the phone, and if he was in court, he would return my call immediately afterward.
Paul is an exceptional attorney, though not inexpensive. However, he provided me with a very reasonable rate given the severity of my case. He also offered me a monthly payment plan, which greatly eased the financial burden.
When it comes to fighting for your freedom, no price is too high. Paul Moraski was worth every dollar.
Six months later, just as Paul had predicted from the start, my case was completely dismissed.
If you find yourself facing legal issues in the Boston area, I highly recommend contacting and hiring Paul Moraski. He is not only an outstanding defense attorney but also a remarkable person. I feel like I not only hired a lawyer but also gained a friend.
Thank you for everything, Paul.

John did an outstanding job of representing me as a public defender. At a time when I was out of work due to filing for SSDI. Charges were brought against that were false. He was able to bring witness in to testify on my behalf and advise me through the 2 year ordeal. Communication was never an issue. He never once doubted or questioned my innocence.
In the end hearing the Judge give his verdict of not guilt was such a relief. At a time when people can just bring false claim against people and alter their lives in do so. I am thankful that Attorney Pickering was there to represent me.
Thank you John

Attorney Massaro was a tremendous help to me this month with a very contentious child custody case vs. My son's Mother. She got the situation resolved to my liking very quickly and efficiently, despite the opposition's flair for invented drama and false statements. Truthfully, most lawyers don't take on contentious case like mine in short notice but Attorney Massaro is on top of her game and went above and beyond. I highly recommend.

My husband and I recently worked with Michelle Beneski at Surprenant and Beneski and we could not have been more satisfied or pleased. The level of expertise; attention to detail; empathy, knowledge and patience that Michelle brought to the table and entire process was tremendously helpful and greatly appreciated. A year before going to Michelle for estate planning, she helped us on a moment’s notice with a pressing matter regarding my very elderly father-in-law and did so with great compassion, urgency, efficiency, and kindness. Michelle‘s entire team - from the person that answers the phone to the one who manages her schedule to everyone else in her office - is quite wonderful and extremely helpful, responsive and professional. I work in the senior living industry and have referred many families to Michelle. To be able to refer someone to a professional with confidence, knowing they will be treated with honesty, integrity and expertise is very important to me. I cannot recommend Michelle and Surprenant and Beneski highly enough.

I contacted Tasha after trying to handle my divorce alone to no resolve. Tasha had me re-filed and divorced in less time than I had waited for my initial court date when I filed alone. She had my family's best interest at heart, and I was able to focus on my kids while she handled everything for me. Her office staff was great to work with as well. I knew I was in good hands from day one. I am looking forward to working together on my estate planning next.

I am incredibly grateful to have had Marc represent me in a highly contentious custody case that resulted in a life-changing outcome. What began as a custody case quickly evolved into a complex, multi-day trial with my ex-wife filing for permanent removal from Massachusetts and multiple states being involved.
With Marc’s representation, I was awarded full physical custody and final decision-making authority in legal matters concerning my Child. Prior to Marc taking my case, I had no custodial rights over my daughter and no guaranteed visitation schedule. My case was far from an easy one as I felt like my rights as a father had been completely given up.
Marc demonstrated unparalleled expertise in probate law throughout the entire process. He meticulously prepared my case, reviewed the history, and presented it compellingly in court. His knowledge of family law and probate procedures was evident in every strategy and argument presented. Marc’s intimate knowledge of the probate courts in Massachusetts and his focus on the legal facts were key to the outcome of my case.
Marc’s dedication and personal investment in my case were clearly evident from the beginning. He took the time to understand the nuances of my situation, showing genuine empathy and support. Marc was readily available throughout the process and always kept me informed and answered the multitude of questions I had throughout the case.
Marc’s communication was always clear and realistic throughout the process. Marc provides honest assessments of what can be hoped for in a case and appreciates the entirety of a situation. I never felt like Marc was exaggerating the prospects of a potential outcome; his immediate honesty surrounding the difficulty of my case was reassuring to hear as I understood what I was seeking for an outcome. His ability to break down the complex legal terminology into relevant ideas and the core components allowed me to better understand what was happening throughout the process. His communication was clear and reassuring, keeping me informed and involved at every stage of the proceedings.
Thanks to Marc’s representation and commitment, I now have the opportunity to provide a stable and loving environment for my daughter. I cannot recommend Marc highly enough to anyone facing similar challenges in probate court. He is not just a lawyer but a true advocate for his clients who displays a genuine care about you and your family.

Pam worked with me across many years as a consultant during a very difficult and emotional divorce. She is a bright and savvy lawyer who was also very personable and supportive when I needed it most. Across the years she consulted, Pam was able to help me navigate and understand not only what my legal rights were, but also those of my daughter. Additionally, I appreciated her honesty during some very difficult conversations. I would highly recommend Pam as an attorney or consultant, and will be forever grateful for all of her support.

My referral to Pam Schaefer occurred during a very confusing and stressful time.
My original attorney, who had very ably represented me, knew that there were remaining issues after the final ruling that would necessitate ongoing litigation. He was not keen on this, as he had developed an antipathy to my ex-wife.
He suggested someone different, and recommended someone he had very high regard for. I was apprehensive, needless to say.
During our first meeting Pam succinctly outlined the issues. She also accurately, it turned out, predicted the uphill climb we faced. Never wavering, staunchly in my corner, she and her office shepherded me through this very trying minefield.
Yes, it is true: after a settlement both parties should be a little unhappy. Schaefer law kept my unhappiness manageable. Much appreciated.

Mr. Sawin helped me during a particularly stressful time when my divorce agreement and child support were being modified. He was very straightforward and responsive. His office staff and junior attorneys were kind and helpful. There were multiple challenges related to my case, including Covid-19. At the end of it all, I had the result that I wanted. I am very grateful for the peace of mind that I had knowing that he was representing my interests throughout an emotionally trying time. I will also add that choosing him to represent me for the modification was one of the best decisions that I made - I believe having a strong advocate with experience in the local courts allowed for a quick resolution.

Anton Reinert represented me in a long divorce process. He invariably responded to me in a timely manner with exactly the amount of information I needed to feel less worried and clear-minded. This ability to trust him and his guidance improved my quality of life during a difficult time. I appreciated his integrity in guiding me toward a solution that best matched my means and my interests. He is not a lawyer who wants to keep things going to make more money. I interviewed a number of attorneys before hiring him and believe he has a refreshing, efficient, approach in an aggressive arena. Anton has an air-tight understanding of the law and ethics that go along with the law. He also offers availability for communication at any inquiry and has a kind manner that isn't required, but that helps; especially at a difficult point in anyone's life. Working with Anton is easy. Anton's approach makes you want to rise to meet the situation, handle it well, and come out as a better person.

Nick Gomes is amazing. He listened carefully to the details of our case against a solar company that defrauded my husband, tricking him into signing a document that he understood was authorizing a bid but in fact obligated us to a 25 year, $ 25 ,000 contract! We learned a out this only qhen the company dumped the panels in our yard.Nick quickly created a letter demanding damages for emotional distress, prompting the solar company to call is to find out "how to make this go away." We settle the matter quickly.

Exceptional Legal Representation and Service
I recently had the opportunity to be represented by Travis T. Pregent, Esq. of Pregent Law in an employment case, and my experience was outstanding. From the onset, Travis demonstrated an exceptional level of involvement and commitment to my case. His ability to explain complex legal processes in a clear and understandable manner was incredibly reassuring.
One of the most impressive aspects of Travis's service was his flexibility and transparency throughout the case. He was always available to address my concerns and provided timely updates, ensuring that I was fully informed at every stage. His strategic foresight was remarkable; he accurately anticipated the opposing party's moves, which played a crucial role in the outcome of the case.
Moreover, Travis's honesty and straightforwardness in discussing what was possible and what wasn't helped set realistic expectations. His skillful negotiation and strategic approach led to a resolution much sooner than I had anticipated, and I was thoroughly satisfied with the outcome.
In my role as an employee involved in a legal dispute, having an attorney like Travis, who combines expertise with genuine care for his clients, made a significant difference. His professionalism, expertise, and dedication to achieving the best possible outcome for me were truly commendable.
I highly recommend Travis T. Pregent and Pregent Law to anyone seeking legal representation that is not just effective but also compassionate and client-focused.

Atty Travis Pregent is knowledgeable, efficient, and a great communicator. He always returned calls and emails quickly. We were never left wondering where the case was going. We were able to quickly settle out of court. I cannot thank him enough for taking our case. I would definitely hire him again, if the need arose.

Attorney Andrew is the best. I got him at the very last moment for my case and he was willing to take it and help me. He is very knowledgeable, he knows what he is doing and offer you 2 or 3 solutions depending on your case. He is very compassionate and has the best intention for the clients that he is working with. He is not one of those lawyers who is there just to make money off of you, he is there to help you at any cost to the best of his abilities. He is truly one of a kind. Very thankful i got to work with him and he was the one who handled my case.

Attorney Michael Perpall is a 1st class attorney. I have had the experience of hiring several others in my life, and they have all paled in comparison. I was very impressed with how well Attorney Perpall "digested" all of the information for my case in a very short amount of time, and recalled the details to perfection. Furthermore, he handled himself in court like a pro. I walked out of the court feeling vindicated. You can't control what judge you get and unfortunately the system is badly broken. Do yourself a favor and hire this man.

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.

We found ourselves in the middle of a legal process that we knew very little about. We had worked with another attorney for earlier stages of the process and we were not confident about how to approach the path forward… and then we hired Nicole Levy. Nicole immediately put us at ease. She was knowledgeable about the entire legal process and guided us forward all while taking our ideas into account, moving us in a direction that we were all comfortable and confident with. Nicole communicated with us frequently and clearly throughout all of the stages and made sure that we were adequately prepared. Our only regret is that we didn’t hire Nicole earlier in the process. She comes with our highest recommendation.

What a Family Law Lawyer Can Do for You
A family law lawyer provides legal services related to family relationships, including marriage, divorce, child custody, and adoption. Family lawyers help clients navigate emotionally charged legal issues, providing guidance and representation in disputes that affect spouses, children, and parents. Whether you're going through a divorce, seeking custody of your children, or drafting a prenuptial agreement, a family law lawyer ensures your rights are protected and your interests are represented.
Family law attorneys often handle sensitive matters and offer objective legal advice, helping clients reach fair outcomes either through negotiation, mediation, or litigation.
When Should I Hire a Family Law Lawyer?
Hiring a family law lawyer is beneficial in several situations, especially when legal matters involve close personal relationships. Common reasons to hire a family law lawyer include:
- Divorce or separation: When ending a marriage, a lawyer can help you navigate issues such as division of assets, spousal support, and child custody arrangements.
- Child custody and visitation disputes: If you and your co-parent can't agree on custody or visitation, a lawyer can represent your interests and work toward a solution that benefits your children.
- Child support: Whether you’re seeking child support or defending against a claim, a lawyer can help ensure the appropriate amount is calculated and enforced.
- Prenuptial or postnuptial agreements: A lawyer can help draft or review agreements that protect your assets in case of divorce.
- Adoption: Family law lawyers guide you through the legal process of adoption, ensuring that all requirements are met.
- Domestic violence or restraining orders: If you're a victim of domestic violence or being falsely accused, a lawyer can help you obtain or challenge protective orders.
- Paternity cases: If there are questions about the paternity of a child, a lawyer can help establish or dispute legal fatherhood.
Hiring a lawyer early can prevent issues from escalating, and they can offer you the best chance of achieving a favorable outcome in emotionally charged situations.
What Does a Family Law Lawyer Do?
A family law lawyer provides a wide range of services depending on your specific legal needs. Their responsibilities may include:
- Advising on legal rights and options: Helping you understand your legal rights regarding divorce, child custody, support, and other family law issues.
- Filing legal documents: Drafting and filing petitions, motions, and agreements with the court, such as divorce papers, custody agreements, or support orders.
- Representing clients in court: Arguing your case in front of a judge if a settlement can’t be reached through negotiation or mediation.
- Mediation and negotiation: Assisting with alternative dispute resolution methods, such as mediation, to reach agreements on issues like custody, property division, and support without going to trial.
- Enforcing court orders: Helping you enforce court orders related to child support, alimony, or custody if the other party fails to comply.
- Drafting prenuptial or postnuptial agreements: Creating agreements that protect your assets in the event of a divorce.
- Handling adoption proceedings: Ensuring that the legal process of adoption is followed, from filing paperwork to finalizing the adoption in court.
How Are Family Law Lawyers Paid?
Family law lawyers typically charge clients in one of several ways, depending on the complexity of the case and the lawyer’s experience. Common payment arrangements include:
- Hourly rates: Most family lawyers charge by the hour, with rates varying based on experience and location. Clients are billed for the time spent working on their case, including consultations, court appearances, and document preparation.
- Flat fees: For more straightforward legal services, such as drafting a prenuptial agreement or handling an uncontested divorce, some lawyers offer flat-fee arrangements.
- Retainer fees: In cases that are expected to require significant time and attention, such as contentious custody battles, a lawyer may charge a retainer, which is an upfront payment that covers the initial costs of legal services. The lawyer then bills against the retainer as they work on your case.
The exact cost will depend on the complexity of your case and the lawyer’s fee structure, which should be discussed upfront.
How Much Does a Family Law Lawyer Cost?
The cost of hiring a family law lawyer varies based on factors such as the lawyer's experience, the location, and the complexity of your case. Here are some general cost guidelines:
- Hourly rates: Family law lawyers typically charge between $150 and $500 per hour, depending on their experience and the complexity of the case.
- Flat fees: For simpler cases, such as drafting a prenuptial agreement or handling an uncontested divorce, fees may range from $1,000 to $5,000.
- Retainers: For more complex matters, such as contested divorces or custody battles, lawyers may charge a retainer ranging from $2,500 to $10,000 or more. The lawyer will bill against the retainer for the work they do on your case.
- Additional costs: You may also be responsible for additional costs, such as filing fees, mediation fees, or expert witness fees.
Always ask for a clear breakdown of the lawyer’s fees and any additional expenses during your consultation.
Top Questions to Ask a Family Law Lawyer
Before hiring a family law lawyer, it's important to ask questions to ensure they're the right fit for your case. Here are key questions to ask during your consultation:
-
What experience do you have with family law cases like mine?
Make sure the lawyer has experience handling cases similar to yours, whether it's a contested divorce, child custody dispute, or adoption. -
How will you charge for your services?
Clarify whether the lawyer charges by the hour, a flat fee, or requires a retainer. Ask for an estimate of the total costs involved. -
What are the possible outcomes of my case?
An experienced lawyer should be able to give you a general idea of what to expect based on the facts of your case. -
What is your approach to resolving disputes?
Ask whether the lawyer tends to favor negotiation and mediation or whether they prefer to take cases to court. This can help you determine if their style matches your goals. -
How long do you expect my case to take?
While it’s difficult to predict, the lawyer should give you an estimate based on similar cases. -
Who will be handling my case?
In larger firms, junior attorneys or paralegals may do much of the work, so make sure you understand who will be your main point of contact.
How to Check the Credibility of a Family Law Lawyer
To ensure you're hiring a reputable family law lawyer, follow these steps to verify their credentials and reputation:
- Check state bar association records: Verify that the lawyer is licensed to practice in your state and is in good standing with no disciplinary actions.
- Read client reviews and testimonials: Look for reviews on websites like Avvo, Google, or Martindale-Hubbell. Previous clients can give you insight into the lawyer’s professionalism and success in family law cases.
- Request references: Ask the lawyer for references from past clients who can speak to their experience with the lawyer.
- Review their website or professional profile: Look at the lawyer’s background, case history, and areas of focus to ensure they have substantial experience in family law.
- Look for professional memberships: Membership in reputable organizations, such as the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers (AAML), can indicate a lawyer's expertise and dedication to family law.
What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?
To get the most out of your first consultation with a family law lawyer, it’s important to come prepared. Here’s what you should bring:
- Relevant documents: Bring any documents related to your case, such as marriage certificates, prenuptial agreements, financial records, custody agreements, or court orders.
- List of assets and debts: For divorce cases, prepare a detailed list of all assets (e.g., homes, bank accounts, retirement funds) and debts (e.g., mortgages, loans, credit card balances).
- Details of the family issue: Provide a written summary of the situation, including key dates and facts related to your divorce, custody dispute, or support issue.
- Questions for the lawyer: Write down any questions you have about the legal process, costs, and potential outcomes.
- Your goals: Be prepared to discuss your objectives, such as custody arrangements, property division, or spousal support, so the lawyer understands your priorities.
Being organized and clear about your situation will help the lawyer evaluate your case more effectively and offer the best advice for moving forward.
