Laurel was just wonderful , she was very compassionate to my wife's needs . She kept in constant touch with me via email , and if I had any questions or concerns she would call me on the phone. My wife has many health concerns and she was very understanding to our needs. If I needed to talk to her she would not hesitate to give me a phone call. She is very professional and she is a Sweetheart. Laurel , ...I thank you from the bottom of my heart for all you have done for my wife and I . Not only are you a good lawyer, but you are truly a wonderful person....and a friend forever . Sincerely , Frank and Marylee.

Laurel worked with me on family issues and settlements with siblings. I was very comfortable in court with her representing me and coming to a satisfactory settlement. I highly recommend her.

Atty. Bretta was hired to help with a difficult probate matter after the deaths of my parents and sale of their home. Laurel was able to bring the matter to a close in a short time, with extremely satisfying results, with her polite determination and legal expertise, thus avoiding a lengthy, costly and nasty court battle.

I have been working with Laurel for the past year to overcome what I thought was an insurmountable issue of divorce, IRS liens, bankruptcy and Dept of Labor and after one year it looks like I will come out with a path for future success, this would not have happened without the counseling and friendship that Laurel has provided for the past year, she provides accurate, safe counseling.

Laurel and her team were amazing! They handled my situation very professionally and gave me the peace of mind I was so in need of. From the moment I called the office I felt a sense of relief , and a weight has been started to be lifted of my shoulders. The process was short and the day of the court was the longest ( in my eyes) it took literally 5 mins and I was relieved, clear minded, and felt the peace I needed. After the process I got to talk to Laurel who answered some questions , she gave me her honest opinion and an open door policy to reach out to her. I highly recommend her and her staff SB , Everett MA

I was in the middle of a "legal situation" and the outlook was not good and i was going to lose my home. A friend recommend Attorney Bretta because he had worked with her in the past. The service was incredible. Laurel was able to accomplish in months what the previous attorney couldn't do in over a year. She is very accommodating, even coming out to my home when needed. Laurel kept me informed on every thing that was happening in my case. She went above and beyond what I was expecting. Even taking time out of her weekend to come to my home to follow up on paperwork. She is totally honest and upfront on everything that is happening. I look at Laurel as a friend more than my attorney. If you want excellent service with 100% honesty then Laurel Bretta is the person you are looking for. I only wish I had been directed to her a lot sooner.

I have retained the services of Laurel Bretta in 2 difficult real estate transactions in the past year. The first transaction was a family estate sale of the home I and my siblings grew up in. Emotions ran high and the process was a power struggle from the beginning with my siblings. Laurel introduced logic, calm influence and professionalism both in written and verbal discussion with opposing attorney for my siblings. It was contentious but resolved itself quickly under the cool and calm guidance provided by Ms Bretta. The second transaction was an onerous short sale that lasted 6 months. Laurel proved to be invaluable in protecting my interests versus the realtors and the 2 lien holders. I would not hesitate to recommend Laurel based on her experience, sharp intellect, tough negotiating skills, sound and practical advice and compassion for her client.

Honesty would not be a description generally attributed to describe A lawyer, but Laurel Bretta and her staff were hard working, persistent, honest and had more integrity than anyone I have ever had the pleasure to work with. Laurel and her staff pursued my case with unwavering diligence. I would highly recommend Laurel and this law firm to anyone who is in need of outstanding lawyers.
