I had a bad experience with David Chenelle and would not recommend him! He was insensitive and arrogant. I’m sure there are better lawyers in the area...

I hired David Chenelle from Perkins & Anctil to represent me. I was in need of someone to deal with a personal and small business bankruptcy from start to finish. Not to mention dealing with a person ignorant to the process and having a problem with the emotions of the situation. I am very pleased with his knowledge, his efficiency and getting the job done on time and on budget. I thank David for a job well done, his people skills and dealing with me and the emotional state I was going through.

The bankruptcy legal process can be daunting and emotions will, undoubtedly, run high. I wasn't sure what to expect, but David did an amazing job of detailing the process thoroughly. He avoided telling me what he thought I wanted to hear and didn't shy away from realistic expectations. Additionally, my particular case threw David an unlikely curveball that he handled with tremendous poise and was quick to bring me up to speed with what was required. Lastly, his communication was ALWAYS timely and concise throughout the process; a quality that is always desired but rarely fulfilled by people. I couldn't have asked for a better lawyer to help navigate me through uncharted waters. I promise you won't be disappointed.

David Chenelle was recommended to us by a friends lawyer. David was able to help us in a timely, thoughtful and articulate manner with our case. He gave us excellent advise on making some very difficult decisions. We highly recommend David.

Excellent bankruptcy attorney, personable, professional, friendly and very helpful.

Rob Anctil and his team are top notch and know condo law. They recently did a set of docs for me for a 24 unit project and did them very well. They are responsive and knowledgeable.

I had a rather complicated bankruptcy situation which took quite some time to resolve because of complications outside our control. David gave great advice all the way through and knew how to get things done and how to help me plan and decide what to do. He spent a lot of time with me making sure I understood what was possible, what was happening and next steps for success. Which it all was in the end and would not have been without him in my corner!

Attorney Rob Anctil was very helpful with resolving an Environmental restriction issue with our property. I would highly recommend him with any of your real estate legal needs.

I highly recommend David because he saved me from an awful situation. He is professional, acts quickly, cares about you and your case, and is superb at reprenting you in and out of court. As background, I lost my job when the company I worked for was acquired during the economic downturn. I found myself living off a credit card just to survive — not because I bought a bunch of stuff I didn’t need, but because I lost a very good paying job, couldn’t find a similar one, and found that I couldn’t pay my bills any more — much less groceries every week. I kept trying to turn things around but nothing worked. When it became obvious that declaring bankruptcy was the only solution, I contracted an attorney in Boston who (forgive my ongoing bitterness about it 8 years later), royally messed up my case. He waited months before doing anything. He never remembered my name. The calls from creditors didn’t stop. And worst of all, he saddled me with a huge bankruptcy payment that was more than the amount of my bills before the bankruptcy! It was a nightmare beyond anything I’d ever imagined. So just so you know, not all attorneys are created equal and it is possible for a bad attorney to make things worse! It completely ruined my life and honestly I’ll never recover from it. After all these years, I still flinch when the phone rings. Once I realized that no amount of complaining or calling his office for help was going to improve things, I fired him and set out to find a new attorney. Luckily I found David, and he did, in fact, turn my whole life around. All of a sudden, the calls stopped, He listened to me and treated me with respect. I had a payment I could actually make, and my life could move forward. I honestly don’t have the right words to express how much I appreciate him. All the things the other attorney did wrong, he did right. In short, the purpose of a bankruptcy is to improve your life — NOT make it worse! Bankruptcy can happen to anyone — for a variety of reasons — some of which you have no control over and there is a huge stigma attached to it. David can step in, get things under control, force people and companies to stop harassing you, and will help you get your life back on track. At this point in my review, I feel that I should find something bad to say about David, but I just don’t have anything — sorry! Since I’m sure David will see my review at some point, I just want to reiterate how much I appreciate your help and will never forget it. You truly changed my life for the better. Thx again — and I still owe you a huge gift basket. :)

I am a CPA and have dealt with many law firms. There are excellent attorneys in this firm. Any person with a real estate transaction should consult with Rob Anctil. Kimberly Alley is an excellent litigation attorney.
