Michael Gillis, a man of integrity, experience and total dedication was my safeguard through the entire court case.
From beginning to end, his concentration and focus was 100%, giving me the feeling of total security. His knowledge and guidance were second to none.
I highly recommend Michael Gillis as an attorney. I found him to be a caring, sincere person who provided unparalleled legal expertise throughout my entire difficult situation, every step of the way.

I met Michael after my case had gone on for over 5 years and had burnt out my previous attorney. He took my case, got his team working on it, and within less than 2 years, despite a massive opposition from the insurance company, won. He defended me without compromise, always showed genuine concern for my wellbeing, and presented my case in court with true professional and technical skill.
I can't put into words how appreciative I am for the work Michael did in presenting my side of the story and letting the truth be known. With the end of the case and the closure I found afterward my life and health have improved by multitudes and that is a direct result of his efforts and representation. There is no dollar amount that can be put on that and no greater gift.
I would recommend Michael and his team to anyone who is looking for a hardworking, genuine, and professional lawyer.

Hands down, Attorney Gillis is the attorney you want by your side guiding you. When people ask you "Do you have a Good Attorney" be rest assured that Michael Gillis is THAT good attorney.
Michael delivered us from a nightmare of a criminal case that was so unbelievable we were approached by the New York Times to cover the case. In addition, there was very little precedent set, if any, that actually matched the various aspects and moving parts of our case.
I do not take writing this review lightly at all so when I say Michael was exceptional and saved my son's life and future please believe it. He was able to navigate us through a criminal case as well as a school discipline case and restore my son's future to him. I will never be able to thank Michael enough for his service, guidance, and compassion through our ordeal.

I hired Mr Blumenthal after he was referred to me by a family member I trust. I was going thru a stressful bankruptcy and was looking for someone that I could count on to help me thru the process. Mr Blumenthal was easy to contact, quick to respond, easy to talk to and very knowledgeable in every question I had. Not only did he answer all my questions, but he took the time on his own to look into things that might benefit me before I even asked about them. It’s nice to hire a lawyer and in the end feel like you got your money’s worth. If you are looking for someone you can trust who will get the job done and walk you thru the unfortunate process of dealing with a bankruptcy, this is your guy!

Attorney Richard Blumenthal helped us file for Chapter 7 Bankruptcy. Everything worked out perfectly. The need to file for bankruptcy was a difficult time in our life. The process was made much easier by Mr. Blumenthal's genuine concern for our well-being. He is an extremely knowledgeable and careful lawyer who worked with great dedication on our behalf. We are very grateful to him.

我和赵律师通过我的一位挚友朋友介绍于2020年1月认识，当时我因离婚事宜一直在麻州找律师，我对她的第一印象来自于我朋友对她的介绍。她说赵律师是一名非常有正义感并乐于帮助他人的律师。2020年1月我们在微信上互加好友，之后就离婚事宜我曾多次通过微信和电话咨询赵律师。在认识赵律师之前我也咨询过其他律师，相比之下，赵律师是最有耐心的。2021年年底我的离婚案启动，由于考虑交通问题，我当时并没有选择赵律师，而是在附近找了一名当地律师为我打离婚案，而事实证明这是我做的最错误的选择。这名律师不仅搞砸了我的案子，还收取了不合理的费用。
当我的案子在进行到Trial之前，我感到特别无助，我当时唯一能做的就是果断换一名律师，我能想到的第一人选就是赵律师。赵律师在接到我的案子后，从头到尾进行梳理，进行补救。这期间她一直和我保持沟通，所有的文件及时分享给我，让我了解最新的进度，我能感受到赵律师在很用心的做我的案子。除了专业的法律知识和犀利的口才，赵律师给我印象最深刻的就是她强有力的逻辑思维能力和应变能力。
我的离婚案前后经历了两年左右时间，这是我人生中最身心疲惫的两年，赵律师的接手，让我的生活逐渐步入了正轨，作为赵律师的客户，我很安心。离婚判决的结果显得已经不那么重要了，选择一名好的值得信任的律师，为我带来了远比金钱物质更有价值的东西。
近年来我从其他朋友的谈论中我也了解到，赵律师帮助过很多客户并得到大家的广泛认可和好评。

几年前通过朋友介绍，我找到赵律师帮我成功地索赔两次违约欠款。后来又为我解决了其它诉讼纠纷。我曾陆续介绍了多位有法律纠纷和有商业合同需求的朋友给赵律师，每次朋友都得到了满意的结果。不论是诉讼索赔、商业咨询和合同审阅起草，还是其它维权，赵律师都是我最信任，认为最专业有能力并尽职尽力的律师，能让我放心推荐的律师。

Your credit card will be charged. I was charged over $10,000 in one month for a contested divorce. I do not recommend this large firm, as they are looking for billable hours. Effie was distant from me and made no effort to get to know my story. I chose the Limited Representation and when you Google this, there should be a partnership. Instead, she did everything and didn't even know how to use Dropbox. I would not recommend this firm.

Attorney Cummings was wonderful. I went to her for a prenuptial agreement and this was my first experience with a lawyer. She was personable, responsive, and explained complex terminology in layman's terms. She helped us create a fair agreement within the necessary timeframe. My inability to give 5 stars (I would say 4.5) results from some lack of communication from the firm, and I will preface that I am an anxious person by nature. Attorney Cummings was out of the office for an unexpected amount of time due to a significant personal emergency. While I would not have expected communication from her or continued work on my case during that time, I do wish someone from the firm could have been more communicative about what to expect. With more communication, I would have spent less time worrying about finalizing before our deadline. It made the experience a bit more stressful than it should have been. I provided this feedback to Attorney Turco and do believe it was well received. Overall, I would fully recommend Attorney Cummings. She went above and beyond for my prenuptial agreement. Additionally, Attorney Cummings and the firm were communicative about the closing out process and when I would receive my retainer.

Attorney Click recently represented our large extended family in a case where a prominent attorney attempted a land taking by claiming adverse possession. When we approached David, he was extremely busy but agreed to represent us in a timely manner that was needed to answer the complaint. Prior to contacting David we had spoken with other lawyers who were reluctant to go up against this particular well known law firm. David does not shy away from difficult. He knows the laws and is able to articulate his thoughts in a concise manner. He was very professional and nice to work with, and listened to any input that we wanted to contribute. He offered to travel to meet with the multiple people involved as most did not live nearby. The case reached a settlement agreeable to all defendants as well as the plaintiff having to pay all of our attorney fees. We highly recommend David as an attorney.

A commercial customer canceled my contract and refused to pay the outstanding invoice, a five figure sum. David took on my case after direct appeals failed to product any results.
David is a careful, detailed listener and assembled a fairly complete picture of the situation by the end of our first phone call. Subsequently, he spoke with other involved parties, prepared the necessary affidavits, and filed suit in Norfolk Superior Court.
His preparation is very thorough, exploring multiple avenues of enforcing the payment of my invoices. Ultimately, he presented my case in Superior Court with clarity and force. When the judge compliments your attorney on his presentation, you know you've picked a winner.
After the first day in court, opposing counsel promptly advised his client to move to a settlement. I was reimbursed nearly 100% of the outstanding debt.
While I would prefer not to go through any of this again, David would absolutely be my first call. He is top notch, well prepared, and knowledgeable regarding the intricacies of the legal system and its exacting requirements. -- Highly recommended.

I have had the pleasure of working with David for nearly four years. He has handled numerous matters for me, both civil and criminal. I have worked with other attorneys in the past and I can honestly state beyond any reasonable doubt, that David is the most kind and compassionate attorney I have ever met. He genuinely cares for his clients and he has demonstrated that to me time and time again in the courtroom. He helped me navigate several complex civil and complex criminal cases simultaneously. He zealously represented me and fought for the best possible outcome. To this day, I sincerely believe that David saved my life.
David sets the standard for excellence and professionalism. He is very responsive and made himself available to me outside normal business hours. I never had any issues communicating with him. He never wasted my time nor my money. I will forever owe David a debt of gratitude.

Attorney Grossman has successfully represented my husband on several occasions against his ex-wife’s litigious and aggressive attorney in what have been incredibly acrimonious and long-standing legal battles. She has provided superlative legal guidance as well as strong emotional support, for which we are grateful. She is articulate, offers compelling legal arguments, and demonstrates exceptional mediation skills in her attempts at out-of-Court conciliation to minimize our expenses and seek resolution. She has in-depth knowledge of the law and offers very compassionate guidance. We are proud to have her represent us and she has saved us significant further court actions and fees. I recommend her without reservation as a high-quality, high-value and highly valued, attorney.

I have had several divorce lawyers throughout the years and by far Attorney Grossman has been the most competent and trustworthy of the group. Given our past history with bad attorneys, my wife and I started out slowly to get comfortable with Attorney Grossman and over a short period of time it was clear that she was very good at what she does, provides excellent advice, listens to her client's desires, and works constructively in a resolution. We handed over the whole case to her. She isn't a hot-head as many attorneys can be but she deals with these hot-heads in a very decisive fashion but in a calming way. The one word that describes Attorney Grossman the best is Professional. That is what you can count on.

I cannot say enough remarkable things about Matt Fogelman and his partner, Jeff Simons, and their representation of my employment case against Brandeis University in Middlesex Superior Court. Matt and Jeff took the time to review all aspects of my case and ensured that I understood each step in the process, including all my options. Leading into trial, I had no doubt that there would be an outcome in my favor due to Matt and Jeff’s dedication to my case. Throughout Matt was personable and professional. His attention to my case (and responsiveness) often made me feel like I was his only client. - R. Nelson-Bailey

Joshua McGuire: I would like to offer a very positive review of Josh McGuire, Esquire. Josh took on a complex estate matter for me, and did a terrific job. I have worked with other attorneys through the years, and Josh was the best. Incredibly smart, great strategist, and patient with his client – me! I was particularly impressed with his ability to stay focused during depositions, and his willingness to research the issues in our case. A great guy, scrupulously honest, and willing to tell me (tactfully !) when I was wrong – you will be in good hands with Josh.
BTW - Josh did not solicit my review in any way; I am prompted to write due to my genuine gratitude and confidence in Josh.

I brought what I thought was a straightforward eviction matter to t his attorney. Very quickly, it became more complicated than either of us had anticipated. Still, I felt like his only client. I am military, on assignment 8,000 miles away. He was very compassionate and professional with my young adult child who is my proxy. ALWAYS diplomatic, tough when he needs to be and thinks outside the box when solving problems. Could not say enough good things about him! My prior career was in the criminal justice system so I know a lot of attorneys. I would put Josh McGuire in the top 5% of the 100 or so I have worked with. Great family lawyer!

I had a truly excellent experience working with Kyle Smith and the team at Statera Law on my recent home purchase. This was my third time going through the home buying process (not to mention numerous refinances) and Kyle and the team made everything so easy and streamlined working with lenders, agents, and other legal representatives involved in the transaction. Kyle does a fantastic job of translating complex "legalese" into information that's easily understood by non-lawyers and was always available to respons to even the most basic questions.
I would absolutely work with Statera Law again for future legal needs and recommend them highly.

I hope you never need an employment lawyer to protect yourself against unethical employers, but if you find yourself needing one like I did, I highly recommend attorney James Kobe. He is a kind, honest, and an amazing human being who will help you stand up to those who violate your employment rights. When I needed his help, he took the time to listen and guided me to do what was best for me, even though that meant he was going to charge a smaller fee. That’s when I knew he was going to do what’s best for his client and not what’s going to earn him the most in fees. That’s a rare quality to find in a lawyer.

I’ve had the great pleasure to work with Adam Goncalves and his team in two different capacities for over a decade: first as a Realtor, where we’ve helped many Buyers & Sellers achieve their real estate goals together - and most recently, Adam facilitated my own simultaneous sale of one property & purchase of another. To say, “it was an extremely complicated transaction with many moving parts,” is an understatement as it turned out to be among the most challenging sales of my career! Everything could’ve easily fallen apart several times without Adam masterfully guiding us across the finish line.
In addition to being a phenomenal attorney, Adam is also an all-around great guy. He has a stellar reputation in the industry for operating with kindness & respect for all parties while still protecting his clients’ best interests. I’m eternally grateful for the excellent representation that my clients and I have received and can’t recommend Adam enough.

Peter was outstanding in dealing with our case. He was diligent and always responded quickly to our concerns. Some of our items took a bit longer than I thought they would to get back to us, but it's definitely a function of where he works and not him. Peter was very cordial and always took the time to focus on our concerns alone when he needed too. He's clearly a busy guy but he's successful in court for a reason!

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.
