Exceptional Service. Highly recommend! Attorney Cliff who handled 2 transactions (Sell & Buy) for us on the same day. Attorney Cliff and his team ensured all necessary pre-requisite tasks were completed in advance to have a smoother closing. Bottom line, as a buyer and seller I didn't have any STRESS!

I have been a defendant in a very contemptous divorce and custody battle. I asked for custody of my daughter and the permission to relocate back to Europe. My case has been initially managed by another attorney who let me down many times and I had to look last minute for a new attorney, one who would need to be ready in few months for my two day trial date. Mindy was recommended to me and from the first moment we met I knew that she had a very different approach than the other attorneys I interviewed: she truly cared for my case. Mindy went out of her way to meet with me and use our limited time to the maximum. She grasped my complicated case within a short time and turned around the entire situation which looked dire at that point. She filed very professional and very knowledgeable motions (which is a skill on itself) and prepared me for trial to the point that I was able to enter the court with confidence. We won the trial hands down thanks to Mindy's hard, detailed work. Even after the trial Mindy remained in touch with me supporting me on the matter of appeal. I highly recommend Mindy as one of the best family law attorneys I have met in the Boston area. If you are looking for a person that cares, is detail oriented, able to manage your complicated emotions during divorce, empathetic and very knowledgeable, do hire Mindy.

Melinda Markvan made one of the most unwelcome events in my life tolerable.

Cliff Monac is a go-to real estate attorney. He handled our closing and worked with us throughout the purchase of our home, by way of our mortgage broker. He thoroughly reviewed important documents on-time, made himself available on big days, and helped me put airtight riders in place on the P&S. He was communicative throughout, and had a sense of humor. Closing day went off without a hitch. I'd definitely turn to Cliff for legal counsel again.

I used Clifford Monac for several real estate transactions, both new purchases and refinancing. Cliff was very knowledgeable, thorough and efficient. His office was easy to deal with and managed all of the details to make things go smoothly.

Mindy was a great help during this tough process! I felt very comfortable from the beginning and it made talking about the issues a lot easier! I was informed throughout the process on what to expect and was a great help because I was lost and clueless at times. Over all I don't think i could of done it without her and I owe her a Huge Thank you

I would highly recommend Atty Markvan to represent someone in a divorce proceeding. She is very thorough and knowledgeable about the law and seeks to build consensus with the opposing counsel to reach an amicable settlement.

Melinda is an extremely respectful and courteous person. She made the process calm and as painless as it could be. She worked quickly and was very knowledgeable about laws and regulations even as they were changing during my divorce proceedings. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone requiring a divorce lawyer.

I hired Melinda after consulting with several local divorce attorneys in my area. During the initial interaction/consult, I was very emotional, and she calmly listened to my case and was able to succinctly and clearly describe the process and outline my legal options in a way that no one else could. She was clearly knowledgeable, competent, and importantly to me, compassionate to my situation. I knew immediately she was the right lawyer for me. Majority of our interaction was via phone or email. She was always available and responded to my inquiries in a timely fashion. She drafted my separation agreement, and handled my non-contested divorce case with great attention to detail and kept me informed every step of the way. I recommend Melinda unreservedly. You will not be disappointed if you hire her.

I am most grateful to have used Mindy as my lawyer in a difficult case involving a business, investment properties, child custody issues etc. Opposing council convinced my ex that she should get the moon, inciting what could have been a very amicable case into a year long struggle. The only way to get this settled was to win on the motions filed against me, including my ex having to pay her own legal fees. Mindy was incredibly well prepared, insightful, as well as verbally skillful. She then negotiated a very fair settlement that we both could live with. I had interviewed a number of 'high powered' attorneys that competed regularly against opposing council. They estimated my divorce costing between $90-$110k, 10% of my net worth. That wasn't acceptable. I am so grateful for finding Mindy, and got divorce for a small fraction of that cost. She outperformed her competition at every turn. I would highly recommend Mindy, and wish all lawyers we like her.

Other thank serious illness or death, divorce is one of the most traumatic things that can happen to a family. Through the yearlong process of briefs, court appearances and difficult back and forths, Mindy provided the calm guiding hand that was desperately needed. She was responsive when she needed to be on legal issues as well as responsive on personal issues. She blends the expertises of law and psychology to great effect. Last but not least, the outcome was one we had set as an objective and accomplished to the benefit of both parties.

My son went through a difficult divorce, and Mindy made things work out. She is knowledgeable and easy to work with. She tries to solve problems rather than keep things going. She is good with human relationships, which is so important in times of stress, and she is capable of helping to resolve problems. She can work with both men and women, and is soft spoken and polite. She knows her business, answers you quickly, and keeps you informed.
