I am incredibly grateful to have had Marc represent me in a highly contentious custody case that resulted in a life-changing outcome. What began as a custody case quickly evolved into a complex, multi-day trial with my ex-wife filing for permanent removal from Massachusetts and multiple states being involved. With Marc’s representation, I was awarded full physical custody and final decision-making authority in legal matters concerning my Child. Prior to Marc taking my case, I had no custodial rights over my daughter and no guaranteed visitation schedule. My case was far from an easy one as I felt like my rights as a father had been completely given up. Marc demonstrated unparalleled expertise in probate law throughout the entire process. He meticulously prepared my case, reviewed the history, and presented it compellingly in court. His knowledge of family law and probate procedures was evident in every strategy and argument presented. Marc’s intimate knowledge of the probate courts in Massachusetts and his focus on the legal facts were key to the outcome of my case. Marc’s dedication and personal investment in my case were clearly evident from the beginning. He took the time to understand the nuances of my situation, showing genuine empathy and support. Marc was readily available throughout the process and always kept me informed and answered the multitude of questions I had throughout the case. Marc’s communication was always clear and realistic throughout the process. Marc provides honest assessments of what can be hoped for in a case and appreciates the entirety of a situation. I never felt like Marc was exaggerating the prospects of a potential outcome; his immediate honesty surrounding the difficulty of my case was reassuring to hear as I understood what I was seeking for an outcome. His ability to break down the complex legal terminology into relevant ideas and the core components allowed me to better understand what was happening throughout the process. His communication was clear and reassuring, keeping me informed and involved at every stage of the proceedings. Thanks to Marc’s representation and commitment, I now have the opportunity to provide a stable and loving environment for my daughter. I cannot recommend Marc highly enough to anyone facing similar challenges in probate court. He is not just a lawyer but a true advocate for his clients who displays a genuine care about you and your family.

Marc Schmelkin is an exceptional attorney. If your looking to be represented by a highly skilled and competent law office; I would recommend Karpenski & Schmelkin, LLC

I had a great consult with attorney Karpensky. She is very sharp and immediately saw the issues that could potentially come up from the opposite side without even me bringing up too much detail. I talked to several attorneys and I can say without hesitation, she has a great mind for strategy. Even in the initial consult, she provided amazing strategic advice! From minute one she was completely on my side and ready to get to work. Ann expressed compassion to my case and paid attention to every small detail. She was able to find answers right on the spot and if she did not know a particular answer right away, she looked it up right then. Immediately! Attorney Karpensky is confident, knowledgeable, and I should admit her pricing is very fair. Her consult was very generous and she welcomed questions. With her experience and knowledge she is definitely a gem! I had a friend recommend her as an attorney to me. She handled her divorce brilliantly. Ann was recommended as well as a very hardworking, responsive, and honest professional, who negotiates well and has your best interest in mind. I definitely recommend her.
