We had a great experience at Ellis Law office.
Everyone there was wonderful to work with. They kept us informed every step of the way. I would highly recommend this office. They work very hard to get you what you deserve!

After consulting with several lawyers about my case, many saw it as very difficult or impossible to carry out. However, when I presented it to Ellis Law, from the very beginning they said yes, making me feel confident that I would be compensated for my incident. They worked very hard to make it happen, making the whole process easier for me. They always worked by my side and represented me throughout the entire process. Today, I feel very grateful and happy with them for the compensation they secured for me after a hard-fought battle with the insurance company. They have completely ensured my stability after being a victim. Thank you very much, I totally recommend them and they will be my lawyers forever.

Hi I would first say to Stacey thank you for making me always feel comfortable and being so patient with me throughout a very tough and stressful time especially when there was very tough things to talk about. And secondly Neil, thank you for always being professional and even though your name was on the wall you made me feel that you’re easy to talk with. You guys changed my life. And I know I couldn’t have done it without Sugarman

Before hiring Sugarman, we did not read any of the stellar reviews offered by other satisfied clients. Nor did we 'shop around'. Maryanne Leblanc was a personal reference from another lawyer. Her service on our behalf was beyond reproach, expectation or, even, imagination. We were treated more than fairly (as if we had been generational family friends). We are grateful for her personal attention to our case. Her sage counsel and compassion were truly remarkable and as deeply appreciated as unexpected. Maryanne went a long way in restoring our faith in the 'community of confrontation'.

I 100% agree with Mel. I gave my banking account number and was told they'd be a deduction on the 1st and the 15th of each month. (which I agreed) The problem is I was never told how much those withdrawals would be. My husband is a disabled veteran and only gets a check once a month. We never even appeared in court. The opposing attorney was not contacting my attorney for 4+ months, yet my balance was never known by me and was growing somehow. It wasn't until I requested a statement that I received a few through email. I have never once spoken to Peter on the phone. Although the attorney who was working with me was very nice, he told me he had no part in the billing. He told me it was Peter. Basically, I gave a $4500 retainer in case we needed to go to court, which we never did, and I never received regular monthly statements from Mr. Calabrese. Due to my experience with the billing of this attorney, I would NEVER recommend them. This morning I see an email saying he will not represent me any longer because of my large outstanding balance (which I knew nothing about). As soon as I emailed him, all of a sudden I receive all these statements. Lol! And a balance that was insane.
I agree with Mel. Do not sign any contract that involves giving your banking info out.
This is not ethical and I intend on reporting to the Bar. These are examples of bad practices. People are already hurting in bad land situations, and the last thing anyone needs is to be taken advantage of. Beware people! Read Mel's review, and others on several sites before you use this firm. If you don't believe me, read others.

I had a great experience with Fienberg and Alban. I never would have thought I would need a lawyer, especially in a state that I don't even live in. But I can tell you Alexis, my lawyer ,made everything so easy that I was not concerned at all throughout the process. I was kept up to date with everything and they answered every single question that I had. And when all was said and done they continued to check on me to make sure all was well. I would highly recommend this law firm to anyone needing a lawyer. I can't say enough kind words about the law firm and Alexis. If you need a lawyer, please consider this firm and Alexis.

As someone who has unfortunately been in a major accident prior to the one for which I've recently needed legal counsel for, I can attest firsthand in the difficulty of finding a reputable, capable, knowledgeable, and experienced lawyer, and what to look for in terms of pros and cons in being able to find a lawyer who will get you the best possible outcome.
Last August, I was struck by a vehicle traveling at a high rate of speed as a pedestrian. I had five major surgeries, spent two months in the hospital, am permanently disfigured, and spent over a year bedridden. During my hospital stay, I spent my whole second month doing my due diligence and, using my experience from my prior accident, I found and obtained, what I believe to be one of the better lawyers in the Greater Boston area. Through comparing and contrasting numerous websites and ratings in the highly concentrated Boston pool, I found Mr. Feinberg, who had above-satisfactory reviews and high ratings across the board, especially on websites where lawyers rate other lawyers, which is very telling within itself. It addition, Mr. Feinberg also had the highest settlement amount in the Boston area for five consecutive years in a row.
From experience, I can proclaim from both my prior and recent accidents, that if you're looking for a lawyer who get the job done and get it done right, I highly, highly recommend Mr. Feinberg. He got me the highest possible settlement amount in an expedient manner, was always responsive and answered all my questions thoroughly and diligently, and overall is just a genuine, caring person and a great, trial-experienced lawyer. I really can’t emphasize this enough—during what was the worst time and experience in my life, Mr. Feinberg did an satifactory exemplary job.

Update: 03/26/24 2:49pm Contrary to this business owners reply, I did not get angry. I simply told him he was being very rude and disrespectful seeing as I was not even able to finish a sentence without him telling me "I had already won," simply because I eventually had the procedure I needed. I understand the need for this business to save "face," but their reply is not true or accurate, and raises more red flags. I will continue to update as needed.
I called this place after a reference from a friend. I wholly regret that decision. I called inquiring if a professional thought I had a medical negligence case. The first question the gentleman asked was "did I get the procedure I needed done?", my answer was yes, and after that this man would not hear another word out of my mouth without saying "then you already won," and that we wouldn't make any money on the case. If these people cannot take the time for a 5 minute phone call I would not trust them with anything. The gentleman continued to tell me he was being patient with me despite still cutting me off every 2 words. He was rude and condescending. I had to ask him multiple times if I could please finish my sentence. Get your advice elsewhere!

I can't say enough great things about this law firm. The staff was friendly and accommodating. I had the pleasure of working with Sharon Sybel as she was the attorney handling my case. She was very sympathetic and understanding to someone going through a difficult time. From start to finish during the entire process she was there to field any questions or concerns I had. She always responded in a timely manner either through phone calls or emails. I would highly recommend this company.

So happy to share with you what a wonderful experience I had with my refinance & closing. It felt like every time I turned around, the bank was requesting more documents and more paperwork. But MICHELLE took care of everything and made things so simple for me. By the time closing came, everything was in order and went through without a hitch. So grateful to Michelle for all her help and simplifying what seemed like such an overwhelming task. Looking forward to working with her again on setting up a trust & other real estate projects.

I've experienced extremely poor communication with this law firm. I've been waiting for a response from Mr. Jutras about a trust-related concern for over two months. I have detailed records of the communication attempt. I'm in the midst of writing a formal complaint to the Massachusetts bar association. Very disappointing with the lack of professionalism, and I'm sad it had to come to this.

Amazing lawyer, recommended to me by my family attorney as a lawyer, that other lawyers would seek out if they were getting a divorce. That was good enough for me. Attorney, Jutras expertly handled my divorce, estate, planning, and real estate issues to my total satisfaction. He listens to you and hears exactly what you need and want with the directness that I found company. I’d rate him a 10 on 10. Congratulations to anybody that hires him.

From our very first consultation, he has clearly explained the entire process and kept me informed at every stage of my trademark application. His expertise, clear communication, and responsiveness have made the experience smooth and stress-free. He is always readily available for any questions or concerns, which I truly appreciate. I’m grateful for his services and will definitely be working with him again in the future!

Attorney Wayland is an honest lawyer with high ethical standards and very practical approach. I found Edward after searching the list of best lawyers in Boston and he proved to be one for my highly contentious long stretched divorce case. From the very beginning till the very last day of our work together, Edward was always prompt and available, guiding me through the options, clarifying my doubts and ignorance about the process, and providing compassion and encouragement during tough moments. Throughout the process, Edward had an approach of resolving issues collaboratively with the other party, however, if I felt I was getting unfair share and wanted to fight back harder, he was right by my side with unwavering advocacy for that as well. I personally am very impressed by Edward’s command over communication skills as he can say strong stuff in a very polite yet firm and targeted verbiage. I was surprised to see other lawyers getting agitated or rude, but Edward always held calm demeanor while maintaining firm tone and pushing the agenda forward. Finally, my case is over now, and I have moved forward in my life, but I will always be grateful to have Edward Wayland as my divorce attorney while I went through the rough times of life. I highly recommend Attorney Wayland to anyone seeking divorce or custody help. Infact, I have already given his reference to couple people who were seeking help due to my exceptional experience working with him.

Every year Boston magazine publishes the results for top attorneys in Boston from different legal specialties, from business and criminal law to family and employment law. If there are top 100 attorneys; Edward Wayland would be voted as the top 10 WORST attorneys in Boston. I'm very grateful I had made the right decision to terminate him for ineffectiveness of his counsel. About few years ago, To today's day, I never regretted (terminating) firing Edward Wayland.
He almost ruined my life and my freedom. lack of communication, Failure to exercise diligence, ineffectiveness of his counsel, and Incompetence, Incompetence, and Incompetence. I'm in the process of filing a complaint against him to the Massachusetts Board of Bar Overseer; Attorney and Consumer Assistance Program (ACAP), I think he should get his license suspended or revoked. (everything I stated here is true except for the top 10 worst attorneys).

Was assigned to represent me in a medical malpractice suit involving the death of my husband. During much of that time she was out on maternity leave. Never felt she connected with what the impact of my husband's death was to me or my family. Towards the end of the suit, I was told that I would have no choice but to dismiss it, despite the fact the hospital was responsible for his death (he was taken to the ER with intermittant confusion by ambulance and wondered out of the hospital ER only to be found 3 days later after falling down an embankment). After much heartwrenching thinking and a second opinion at the time, I agreed to a dismissal. Later, I was told that the hospital would not allow a dismissal unless i did it with prejudice. Not being aware of options, I agreed to it. I soon found out she didn't give me any options as she was preparing to leave the practice and wanted to wrap things up. I have sinced found more evidence, that I could have produced had I been given the time. Now my family and I are struggling to keep the only home that my children have known. We basically lost everything. Because the case was dismissed with prejudice, there is nothing I can do as I see this medical center continue to grow and not take responsibility for what they did to my husband
