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!

Attorney Fogarty gave me respect, companion, dignity and believing in myself again. I was in a domestic abuse situation hence being charged after null reasoning. Attorney Fogarty gave me self worth after freeing me from false charges.

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.

I had the pleasure of working with Christopher Fiorentino of Fiorentino Legal, P.C. following a vehicle accident, and I can't recommend him highly enough. After feeling overwhelmed and not knowing where to turn for representation, I found Chris through a Google search and decided to give him a chance. That decision was the best one I made.
Throughout the entire process, Chris was incredibly attentive, responsive, and kept me informed every step of the way. His clear communication and dedication gave me confidence, and I felt fully supported during what could have been a stressful experience. Not only did he represent me well, but he also helped me understand the legal process and kept me in the loop from start to finish.
If you're looking for a lawyer you can trust, Chris is your guy. You won’t regret choosing him. While I hope I don’t need legal representation again, if I do, Chris will always be my go to attorney, and I would highly recommend him to family and friends.

Chris helped my mom out with a claim against an insurance company for an injury she suffered from a car accident.
Chris was able to explain the process to her with exceptional detail, and never made her feel like she was asking stupid questions.
He set appropriate expectations, so that we knew what to expect and followed through with his promise and his commitment.
His hard work and dedication to his service, along with his years of experience in the law showed while working with my mother and inevitably led to a very favorable settlement with the insurance company.
After his work with my mother, I continue to recommend his services to my friends and family should they need legal counsel or assistance and I’ll continue to recommend him.

Tom Kokonowski came highly recommended and did not disappoint. We hired him for representation in a minor alcohol related charge. He took the time to answer all of our questions and walk us through what to expect so that we were well prepared. He is very personable and easy to talk to. In the hearing he spoke on my behalf and got the charges fully dismissed. Thank you Tom Kokonowski! If you’re in need of legal representation we highly recommend Tom Kokonowski.

I have been a self-employed business owner for 34 years, and have had experience with several attorneys. I and my company were sued with no good cause by an individual for financial damages, and this action lasted about 3 years. I can honestly say without reservation, and with my strongest possible recommendation, that Chris Fein is the finest and most skillful and knowledgeable attorney I have ever encountered. He is extremely intelligent and thoughtful, takes the time to listen and understand all of the issues at hand, and how they affect you or your business, is a master strategist, of the highest ethics both professionally and personally, and is very adroit verbally at the bar or in legal conference. He is also very patient and understanding, realizing that most clients are not legally educated. I would urge anyone reading this to retain his services if needed, and confer my very highest possible recommendation on his behalf.

Not knowing if I even needed an attorney I spoke with Attorney Benner on the phone, he was aware right away that I did not need an attorney, however that didn’t stop him from going out of his way to continue to explain a lot of information to me about my situation and actually educate me about it. I do not usually leave reviews, however it was refreshing to be treated respectfully by an attorney. He was actually a really nice guy.

I wholeheartedly recommend Attorney George MacKoul to anyone seeking a powerful, highly skilled attorney who will advocate tirelessly on their behalf.
Attorney MacKoul is a brilliant gentleman whose ethical standards of legal practice are truly commendable. He clearly has an in-depth understanding of the law and has a remarkable ability to navigate complex legal issues with precision and insight.
Throughout my case, Attorney MacKoul demonstrated an extraordinary ability to listen, understand, and provided thoughtful counsel. He made me feel safe on this sad and emotional rollercoaster that I had unexpectedly found myself on.
I am profoundly grateful for Attorney MacKoul's expertise and unwavering support. He not only achieved a favorable outcome for my case but did so in a manner that preserved my mother’s dignity and respected her last wishes.
George, thank you for your kindness and grace. You are a true beacon of ethical practice and integrity in the legal profession!

The best lawyer hands down! I was searching for a lawyer for 9 months plus, and I feel like first impression, as well as your gut feeling is a big deciding factor when choosing a partner to assist you when the time is needed, I've been working with George and his staff for over a year now, even though my case is a year or more and hopefully being done, I would not have wanted anybody else in my corner! George and his staff have become friends, allies as well as inspirational, win or lose I wouldn't want anybody else on this case! Do not think twice about George and his staff! I wish there was a way to give more than five stars!

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.

Over the course of one weekend, I suddenly found both of my elderly parents in the hospital. One of them would need to move into a nursing home almost immediately as the other recovered. Only, I had no clue how to even begin this process. An event like this is emotionally draining, and now, needing to quickly find a nursing home on top of this, was overwhelming. The nursing homes are ready to take patients, eager for them. Bring them on, private pay! Only going to cost you thousands of dollars a month. Easy.
When I called Spencer Ghazey-Bates, this is where I was, completely lost and overwhelmed, prepared for my parents to lose a lifetime of gathered assets within the year. After getting off the phone, this all changed.
I had a plan of action. I had reassurances from an expert that has done this time and time again for other families. An overall plan was made, steps were given, one at a time, so as not to be overwhelming. I finally could feel like I knew what to do and could start sorting our lives out again while the paperwork was being taken care of by professionals.
The nursing home's billing departments are experts at working for themselves. Without professional legal representation, I felt defenseless from their statements and bills. With Spencer, you have an export that works FOR YOU.
Over the months of this process, we gracefully landed with my parent in a good nursing home and my parent’s assets intact. Every call, email, and text to Spencer and his team was answered quickly and professionally, and at times, I almost could forget about the furious amounts of paperwork going back and forth in the background. I was able to focus instead on my family.
I cannot more highly recommend Spencer-Ghazey-Bates and his team for any elder planning you could need than I already have. If your family is having a crisis, or even just planning for a crisis, this is the team you want in your corner.

I highly recommend Peter Winters if you find yourself in need of a lawyer. He has a wealth of experience and a no nonsense, practical approach to resolving court issues. I immediately knew I was in good hands when I hired Peter. Every step of the way I felt incredible relief after talking to Peter. He took on my case in Superior Court and closed it out within a year when it could easily have dragged on for over three years. While all court issues have a heavy financial toll, Peter's expertise saved me a great deal in total costs, and his fees are so much more reasonable (half the cost) than any other lawyers that I contacted. I could not have been in better hands.

Matthew represented me in a very difficult situation involving discrimination charges I filed against my company. My very powerful former company had reacted to every attempt I had made to advocate for myself over the years in ways worse than I could have imagined, and I knew if I would have continued to represent myself, I probably wouldn't be able to live with the outcome. Matthew graciously took my case and got the situation resolved very quickly, hammering out an agreement that got me everything I cared about the most, and more. I left that company with the dignity they tried to take from me and I will be forever grateful to Matthew for that.
I was especially impressed by Matthew’s intelligence, engagement with the more complex aspects of my claims, and willingness to take calculated risks and stand ground on several points that were really important to me. He’s an incredibly skilled negotiator with great instinct. Although we didn’t go to court, I knew from his numerous ground-breaking legal victories that if we did, he would do a spectacular job. I think my former company knew that, too, and that gave me a ton of leverage. I would recommend him to anyone.

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!

Attorney Fogarty gave me respect, companion, dignity and believing in myself again. I was in a domestic abuse situation hence being charged after null reasoning. Attorney Fogarty gave me self worth after freeing me from false charges.

What a Litigation Lawyer Can Do for You
A litigation lawyer specializes in representing individuals, businesses, or organizations involved in legal disputes. Whether you're the one filing a lawsuit or you're being sued, a litigation attorney will advocate on your behalf throughout the entire legal process. Their goal is to resolve disputes, either through negotiation, settlement, or trial. Litigation lawyers can help with a wide range of disputes, including contract disagreements, real estate issues, employment disputes, personal injury claims, and more.
Litigation lawyers provide strategic legal advice and manage all aspects of your case, from filing motions to representing you in court, ensuring that your rights are protected and that you have the best chance of achieving a favorable outcome.
When Should I Hire a Litigation Lawyer?
You should consider hiring a litigation lawyer if you're involved in a legal dispute that you cannot resolve on your own. Common situations include:
- Breach of contract disputes: If a party to a contract fails to fulfill their obligations, a litigation lawyer can help you seek damages or enforce the agreement.
- Business disputes: Litigation lawyers can represent you in cases of partnership disagreements, intellectual property disputes, or business fraud.
- Employment disputes: If you're facing issues like wrongful termination, workplace discrimination, or wage disputes, a litigation lawyer can help resolve these matters through negotiation or court action.
- Personal injury claims: If you've been injured due to someone else's negligence and are seeking compensation, a litigation attorney can help you pursue your case.
- Real estate or property disputes: When there are conflicts over property ownership, boundary issues, or lease agreements, a litigation lawyer can assist in resolving the dispute.
Hiring a lawyer early in the process is beneficial, especially if a lawsuit seems imminent or you have already been served with legal documents.
What Does a Litigation Lawyer Do?
A litigation lawyer handles all aspects of your case, from the initial investigation to the trial and even the appeals process, if necessary. Their role includes:
- Case assessment and investigation: Analyzing the facts of your case and advising whether it’s worth pursuing or defending.
- Pleadings and motions: Drafting and filing documents to initiate or respond to a lawsuit, including complaints, motions to dismiss, and answers.
- Discovery: Gathering evidence, including depositions, interrogatories, and document requests, to build your case.
- Negotiations and settlement discussions: Attempting to resolve disputes through mediation, arbitration, or settlement talks before going to trial.
- Trial representation: Presenting your case in court, examining witnesses, introducing evidence, and making legal arguments before a judge or jury.
- Appeals: If necessary, filing appeals to challenge or defend the outcome of the trial.
Litigation lawyers are also skilled negotiators and often work to resolve disputes outside of court to save time, money, and stress for their clients.
How Are Litigation Lawyers Paid?
Litigation lawyers typically use a variety of fee structures depending on the type of case, the complexity of the legal matter, and the financial circumstances of the client. Common payment arrangements include:
- Hourly rates: Many litigation attorneys charge by the hour, with rates varying based on experience and geographic location.
- Flat fees: For specific, predictable legal tasks (such as filing a motion), lawyers may offer a flat fee.
- Contingency fees: In personal injury or other cases where you seek damages, a lawyer may work on a contingency basis, taking a percentage of the settlement or award if you win.
- Retainer: Some clients pay a retainer fee upfront to secure ongoing legal services. The lawyer then bills against this retainer as work is done.
The exact structure should be discussed in the initial consultation to ensure you understand how and when you'll be charged.
How Much Does a Litigation Lawyer Cost?
The cost of a litigation lawyer varies significantly depending on the nature of the dispute and the lawyer’s experience. Factors affecting the cost include:
- The complexity of the case: More complex litigation involving extensive discovery, expert witnesses, or multi-party suits typically costs more.
- Time spent: Litigation cases can be time-consuming, especially if they go to trial. The longer the case, the higher the legal fees.
- Type of fee arrangement: Hourly rates can range from $200 to over $1,000 per hour, depending on the lawyer’s reputation and location. Contingency fees generally range from 25% to 40% of the settlement or award.
- Stage of litigation: Cases that settle early in the process are often less expensive than those that proceed to trial or appeal.
It’s crucial to ask about cost estimates during your initial consultation to avoid surprises.
Top Questions to Ask a Litigation Lawyer
Before hiring a litigation lawyer, it's essential to ask key questions to ensure you're choosing the right representation:
-
What is your experience with cases like mine?
Ensure that the lawyer has experience handling your specific type of dispute, whether it's a contract issue, personal injury, or business matter. -
What are the potential outcomes of my case?
Ask for an honest assessment of your case's strengths, weaknesses, and the likelihood of success. -
What is your fee structure?
Clarify how you'll be charged, whether by the hour, a flat fee, or on a contingency basis. -
How long do you expect my case to take?
While it's hard to predict, an experienced lawyer can give you a rough estimate based on similar cases. -
How often do you settle cases versus going to trial?
Some lawyers are more inclined to settle, while others may be more experienced in the courtroom. It’s important to understand their strategy. -
What is your approach to resolving disputes?
Some lawyers prefer aggressive litigation, while others focus on settlement or mediation. Choose one whose approach aligns with your goals.
How to Check the Credibility of a Litigation Lawyer
To verify a litigation lawyer’s credibility, consider the following steps:
- Check bar association records: Ensure the lawyer is in good standing with the state bar and has no history of disciplinary actions.
- Read client reviews and testimonials: Online reviews can provide insight into the lawyer’s professionalism and track record.
- Look for litigation experience: Review the lawyer’s website or professional profile to ensure they have handled cases like yours and have a record of success.
- Request references: Ask the lawyer to provide references from past clients who can speak to their effectiveness and approach.
- Research their trial experience: If your case is likely to go to trial, ensure the lawyer has a history of courtroom success.
What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?
To make your first consultation with a litigation lawyer productive, you should prepare the following:
- A clear outline of the dispute: Provide a timeline and key details about the legal issue you're facing.
- Any relevant documents: Bring contracts, emails, letters, or any other documentation that pertains to the case.
- A list of key players: Provide the names of individuals or companies involved in the dispute.
- Questions about fees and the litigation process: Make sure you understand how the lawyer plans to approach your case and how you will be charged.
- Your goals and expectations: Be clear about what outcome you're hoping for, whether it's a settlement, compensation, or another resolution.
By coming prepared, you can ensure that your initial meeting with the lawyer is both efficient and insightful, giving you a better sense of how to proceed with your case.
