Unfortunately, we got the name of this firm from a friend who used them and also told us a similar story but money is an issue and it was cheaper so we decided to go there to use Valerie as a mediator. She was not natural she gave my husband a look when he showed her his offer to me, and told him you don't need to give her alimony and a child support you know, I advice you to go to a lawyer, instead of typing up his offer, and she then said you should do the same too, otherwise the judge wouldn't accept it! Now I and my husband are looking for a lawyer, when we basically agreed in most of the issues, instead of this case taking us few hours and costing us only thousands I am pretty sure it will be much more. My husband told me he gave up on the offer because Valerie made him realize that he was screwing him over. My friend who used her service because who had no money to pay a lawyer has told me that Valerie woman (also A lawyer-Mediator in this firm) told her to your husband is being so generous! And she ruined it for her case too. My husband chooses them because her husband told him to use this firm, I wanted to see it myself. We decided not to do mediator!

Julie did an outstanding job in helping me acquire my unrestricted Mass LTC. She is a very knowledgeable attorney with lots of experience in the area. In particular she gave me a plan for acquiring the LTC and offered options if we needed them (we didn't) if my application was unsuccessful. She was also flexible and reasonable with her fees. I highly recommend her if you need representation in the area of Mass firearm laws and your second amendment rights.

Outstanding service and expert mediation knowledge. Justin Kelsey, Julie Tolek and the Skylark team were sensitive to my case needs and provided excellent advice tailored to my best interests towards a prompt and fair resolution. I highly recommend their services.

Julie Tolek handled my divorce for me. Any divorce brings quite a wide range of emotions and to say that this was a difficult and painful time in my life is an understatement. Julie was not only professional, but made me feel so comfortable within the first 2 minutes of our initial meeting. She was always available to answer any questions and to get me any information that I needed. Julie was always honest and straightforward with me, which I really appreciated and also took any concerns I had seriously. I would highly recommend Julie and the entire staff at Skylark Law & Mediation to anyone unfortunate enough to require such services. Sincerely, Karen S.

Julie is an excellent lawyer and has developed a great reputation in handling firearms license issues as well as family law. There are very few lawyers that understand the gun laws as well as she does, I would highly recommend her.

Dedicated Attorney professional to the nth degree, cordial very friendly, she will work the details and won’t give up, she will strive to win and she is a winner! Julie is valiant and courageous to take such enormous undertaking of the firearms laws and the 2nd Amendment, special in Massachusetts where draconian anti-guns laws thrive. I have never met an attorney, as a matter of fact I have been lucky enough to never require one, I always had the notion that you could only talk to lawyers in law parlance, otherwise you were ignored, I had the perception that an attorney is the typical stereotype of a shrewd one way personality. That perception change radically and in an instance when I met Julie, I then knew that a Lawyer is also human with a conscience, you can talk to Julie as if you were talking to your best friend in a cordial and friendly language, she will make you understand the complexities of the laws by explaining them in a simplified easily way, I highly recommend Julie, especially if there is any requirement for firearms consultation.

I am a family law attorney who has years of experience working with Attorney Kelsey on divorce and family law related issues. His understanding of legal issues and skills as a mediator are unmatched in Massachusetts.

I first met Julie when she was a guest speaker at my law school. After only a few minutes I was drawn in by her ability to connect with us (a room of students she had never met) while teaching us. She is by no means your typical lecturer. It was obvious that Julie knew what she was talking about and was conveying her experiences, not just material from a textbook. Julie has a unique talent for communicating things in a way that is easy to understand, largely because she is so relateable. This carries over into her practice. It is embodied in her Think Pink Law brand. She lets her clients set the tone in terms of their involvement in the legal process: for clients who are more eager participants, she welcomes them to play an active role in the process. Other clients chose to leave the "legal stuff" to Julie. Not only is her personality ideal, but Julie is knowledgeable and has sifted through laws and regulations to learn firearms law, which is by no means clear. Many other legal professionals rely on her to explain the law to them! After having interned for Julie for a couple of months, I realized that she is more dedicated to her clients than most other attorneys I have encountered. She is everything I would want in an attorney, and everything I will strive to be when I become an attorney. I highly recommend Attorney Julie Tolek.

I worked with Kelsey & Trask for several months on a support modification. Justin Kelsey and his team find a way to manage the delicate balance between emotion and practicality - always putting the needs of my kids, first. Justin's diligence and reasonableness kept us out of Court with a result that satisfied all parties. I highly recommend him.
