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. I suggest that her knowledge in criminal law that you reach out to her, with her commitment and perseverance she will bring justice.

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.

They consistently responded to my questions and concerns with clarity, efficiency, good judgement, professionalism and respect.

I called Brian Roman out of the blue one cold and desperate morning after spending the night in jail- charged with something I did not do. I was in tough shape. Yet, Brian’s voice calmed me down and gave me encouragement. He took the case, and over the course of 10 months, he saved my life over and over again. He even went to Police HQ with me one night to explain the law to some overzealous officers who were threatening to arrest me. He saved me from jail that night, and in the end, got the “Not Guilty” verdict that rang True. He worked hard for that verdict. And I know he’ll do the same for you. Brian knows his stuff, inside and out, and he’ll see that justice is served. And his fees are very reasonable. Brian is an excellent attorney.

Brian is an exceptional attorney. If Brian had not helped my fiance, unlike his public defender that my fiance had at the time stabbed him in the back at the last minute and he probably would be sitting in jail right now. My fiance is a good man and did not deserve to be treated that way. Brian was a life saver. Now my fiance is doing so very well and has grown a great deal. If it wasn't for Brian I don't know where we would be today.

Teresa was simply amazing. To say the least she helped my husband and I through a difficult matter. This took time , patience and she kept a us at ease through the entire process. She was consistent and thorough, exactly what is needed. We were at a loss not knowing what our next course of action would be. We were so overwhelmed and tired of the cat chase the other party was giving us. Teresa explained and advised the next steps, and got the job done. We are more than thrilled with her services. She takes her time to understand you. Teresa thank you for everything.

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!

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!

Myself and my former roommates worked with Arthur in order to resolve a dispute with our former landlord. Arthur worked directly with us and was consistently attentive and professional throughout the process. He did an excellent job of explaining all applicable laws and procedures, thereby making the process far less stressful than we were expecting. Additionally, he helped us reach a highly favorable conclusion to the matter in a relatively short period of time and for very reasonable fees. I would highly recommend Arthur to anybody dealing with similar disputes and would not hesitate to hire him again in the future.

The old adage regarding lawyers doesn’t apply here. They break the mold in every good way. You’ll be heard, not judged, and get the results you were hoping for. Business aside, the team there is nothing short of amazing. They’ve got humility, grit, and real-world experience. This is my first time writing a review on a law firm, and I hope it will be my last.
At the end of it all, I walk away with peace knowing that I was heard and represented. Chapter closed. And moving on …

Really happy with John Koury from Upper Charles Law Group. I had a tricky issue where my employer was trying to retroactively reduce compensation via a change to my stock option grant. John Koury read through the documents, did any necessary research and then clearly explained the issue to me, my possible options, helped me understand the risks and trade offs, and offered advice about next steps. Talking with John gave me the confidence to push back and advocate for my interests. He was very responsive, a great communicator, thoughtful, and very smart. Would really recommend working with John Koury and Upper Charles Law Group.

Attorney Nagle has been my legal seeing eye dog for the past 3.5 years. Throughout a lengthy and slow moving process it was evident that he possessed a stellar knowledge of Massachusetts legal procedure. He led me through the oft byzantine world of Massachusetts legal proceedings in a calm and confident manner.
He is engaging, subtly strong willed and dedicated to the law. In my case he was exceptionally patient with an impatient client. Attorney Nagle was always professional. He has a good rapport with court house legal practitioners and staff. He is a gentleman who likes people and in an often contentious legal environment that is a valuable trait.
Attorney Nagle's strongest asset? His talent in the trial courtroom and his skill in cross examination.
Yes, we had a favorable outcome.
I believe he cares about doing a good job for his clients and will work diligently on your behalf.
His office staff are friendly and exceptionally hard working. They deserve my thanks and positive review, as well.

David was outstanding in the courtroom. I was and still am in total awe of his preparation, organization and presence in the courtroom. It was like watching something out of a TV show. I was on pins and needles but David was calm, collected, and willing to object (when necessary) and fight for his views. He made excellent logical arguments and submitted all the right motions and I am really proud of his work. I hope not to need an attorney anytime soon - who does? - but if I did, I would pick David Nagle without hesitation.

Jim's firm represented me during my divorce. My divorce was one of the very few that go to a trial. While Jim did not represent me directly he was involved in all of the work and time that was put in to helping me get through it. Jim is a very kind, fair and responsive professional man. I have been a client of his fim since 2003 as my divorce was very contentious and involved. Jim and his staff treated me wonderfully; they were patient and supportive during a very difficult time in my life. Jim's firm represented me after the trial as unfortunately my situation warranted. With the kindness and support of Jim and his firm I was able to continue to work, live my life and single parent my two children over the past 9 years. I plan to stay in touch with Jim going forward and highly recommend him as a lawyer and his firm.

I enlisted the services of Attorney James Lynch in order to help me navigate a very difficult situation regarding the care of my ailing mother and the protection of those trusts (of which I was Co-Trustee) which had been set up to protect both my mother and her estate. At the time, two of my three siblings; one of whom was also a Co-Trustee; were quite literally stealing from my mother and through their deceitful maneuverings were attempting to force a dispersal of her estate far in advance of even knowing what my mother's expenses might be, and certainly without due regard for her well-being. When I first sat down with Attorney Lynch, I was struck by the fact that, while he listened carefully to my description of the situation, he did not take me just at my word, but instead asked all the insightful questions, then did his own investigation, and slowly but very surely became one of my greatest allies. His desire to verify the veracity of my story was and is something that I both greatly appreciate and respect. Soon thereafter, Attorney Lynch was able to implement certain safeguards so as to put a halt to the bleeding of the estate as well as force my siblings into a more forthright and prudent approach to my mother's care. Throughout the ensuing years, as my mother's health and mental acuity failed, Attorney Lynch was there to help me ensure both my mother's continued good care and protect her estate from the premature dissolution which my two siblings continued to maneuver for. His knowledge and understanding of the law and his facility with the legal landscape was nothing short of impressive; but even more than that, his insightfulness and his clarity of thought were a supreme comfort to me. He gained my complete confidence and proved to be a most steadying hand through a very, very, trying period. He was always quick to respond and never failed to provide wisdom; truly what 'counsel' is meant to be. He has my respect and my undying gratitude.

What a Personal Injury Lawyer Can Do for You
A personal injury lawyer specializes in helping individuals who have been physically or emotionally injured due to the negligence or wrongful actions of another party. Whether you've been hurt in a car accident, suffered a slip and fall, or experienced medical malpractice, a personal injury attorney works to ensure you receive fair compensation for your injuries. They can help you recover damages for medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other related expenses.
Personal injury lawyers act as your advocate, navigating the legal system on your behalf and dealing with insurance companies to ensure you get the compensation you deserve. They understand how to handle complex legal matters and help you avoid common pitfalls.
When Should I Hire a Personal Injury Lawyer?
Hiring a personal injury lawyer can be beneficial in many situations where you've been harmed due to another's negligence. Some key scenarios include:
- Severe injuries: If you've suffered significant or permanent injuries that result in substantial medical bills, a lawyer can help ensure you are fairly compensated.
- Long-term or permanent disability: Injuries that affect your ability to work or require ongoing medical treatment are complex, and a lawyer can help estimate long-term damages.
- Disputed liability: If the responsible party or their insurance company denies liability for your injury, a lawyer can gather evidence and advocate on your behalf.
- Insurance company lowball offers: Insurers often try to settle personal injury claims for as little as possible. A lawyer can negotiate to get you a fair settlement.
- Medical malpractice claims: Injuries caused by a doctor, nurse, or healthcare provider due to negligence require a personal injury lawyer experienced in medical malpractice law.
- Exposure to hazardous substances: If you've been injured due to exposure to toxins, chemicals, or dangerous substances, a lawyer can help pursue legal action.
Hiring a lawyer early in the process is crucial, especially if you're unsure of the full extent of your injuries or damages.
What Does a Personal Injury Lawyer Do?
A personal injury lawyer provides a wide range of services to guide you through the legal process and maximize your compensation. They can:
- Evaluate your case: A lawyer will assess the strength of your claim and determine whether you have a viable case.
- Investigate the incident: Gathering evidence such as police reports, witness statements, medical records, and expert opinions is key to building a strong case.
- Negotiate with insurance companies: Lawyers handle communications with insurance companies to ensure you receive a fair settlement and aren't taken advantage of.
- File a lawsuit if necessary: If a fair settlement can't be reached, the lawyer can file a personal injury lawsuit on your behalf and represent you in court.
- Help calculate damages: This includes medical expenses, lost wages, future medical needs, pain and suffering, and emotional distress.
- Prepare and file legal documents: Lawyers handle all the paperwork and deadlines associated with your case, including filing motions and discovery requests.
- Represent you at trial: If your case goes to trial, the lawyer will argue your case before a judge and jury to obtain the compensation you deserve.
How Are Personal Injury Lawyers Paid?
Most personal injury lawyers work on a contingency fee basis. This means they only get paid if they win your case, either through settlement or a court judgment. Here’s how it works:
- Contingency fee percentage: The lawyer will take a percentage of the settlement or award, typically between 25% and 40%, depending on the complexity of the case and the stage at which it's resolved.
- Costs and expenses: In addition to the contingency fee, the lawyer may deduct other costs associated with the case, such as filing fees, expert witness fees, and court costs. These expenses are often advanced by the lawyer and repaid out of the settlement.
- No upfront payment: Since the lawyer’s fee is contingent on winning, you usually don’t pay anything upfront.
Always discuss the lawyer’s fee structure during your consultation to avoid surprises.
How Much Does a Personal Injury Lawyer Cost?
The cost of hiring a personal injury lawyer depends on the specifics of your case and the lawyer’s fee structure. However, since most personal injury lawyers work on a contingency fee basis, the amount you pay will depend on the outcome of your case. Here are some general guidelines:
- Contingency fees: Typically range from 25% to 40% of the settlement or award. The percentage may increase if the case goes to trial or requires an appeal.
- Other costs: In addition to the lawyer's fee, you may be responsible for case-related expenses such as expert witness fees, medical record retrieval fees, and court costs. These are often deducted from your settlement, so you won't have to pay out of pocket.
While the cost may seem high, hiring an experienced lawyer can significantly increase the amount you recover, making it a worthwhile investment.
Top Questions to Ask a Personal Injury Lawyer
Before hiring a personal injury lawyer, it's essential to ask questions to ensure you’re choosing the right representation. Here are some important questions to ask:
-
What is your experience with personal injury cases like mine?
Make sure the lawyer has handled cases involving similar injuries or accidents. -
What is your fee structure?
Clarify whether the lawyer charges a contingency fee and what percentage they will take from any settlement or award. -
How long will my case take?
While it's hard to predict, a lawyer can give you an estimate based on similar cases they’ve handled. -
How often do you take cases to trial?
Some lawyers prefer to settle quickly, while others are more comfortable going to court if necessary. -
Will you personally handle my case?
In larger firms, junior lawyers or paralegals may handle some aspects of your case, so it's important to know who will be managing your claim. -
Do you have references from past clients?
Speaking with past clients can provide valuable insight into the lawyer’s effectiveness and professionalism.
How to Check the Credibility of a Personal Injury Lawyer
To ensure you’re hiring a credible personal injury lawyer, take the following steps:
- Check bar association records: Verify that the lawyer is licensed and in good standing with your state’s bar association. Look for any history of disciplinary actions.
- Read client reviews and testimonials: Online platforms like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, and Google reviews can provide insight into the lawyer's reputation and client satisfaction.
- Look at their track record: Review their experience with personal injury cases, particularly how many cases they’ve successfully resolved or taken to trial.
- Ask for references: Credible lawyers should be willing to provide references from past clients who can vouch for their work.
- Check professional memberships: Lawyers who are members of respected organizations, like the American Association for Justice (AAJ), often have a solid reputation in the field.
What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?
To get the most out of your first meeting with a personal injury lawyer, prepare the following:
- Detailed account of the accident: Write down everything you remember about the incident, including dates, times, and locations. Include any witnesses or police reports if available.
- Medical records and bills: Bring any documentation of your injuries, treatments, and associated medical costs.
- Insurance information: Provide your insurance details and any communication you’ve had with the other party’s insurance company.
- Employment and income records: If your injury has impacted your ability to work, bring proof of lost wages or reduced earning capacity.
- Photos or videos: If you have photos of the accident scene, your injuries, or property damage, bring them to your consultation.
- Questions for the lawyer: Prepare a list of questions to ask, including how the lawyer will handle your case and what you can expect in terms of timeline and outcome.
By preparing thoroughly for your first consultation, you’ll help the lawyer understand your case more quickly and get a better sense of your legal options.
