I've had the privilege of working with Tremblay & Smith and being represented by Melissa Ritter for nearly a decade. Never did I imagine when I first walked into the law offices of Tremblay and Smith on Valentine's Day, 2013, that I'd still require legal representation to settle divorce and custody disputes. Alas, here I am, and my gratitude continues for services rendered. Longevity in a relationship (business, personal, or otherwise) requires open communication, honesty, and trust. Melissa exemplifies these in her approach to our attorney-client relationship and legal support. As evidenced by our nine year partnership, my divorce and custody issues have been anything but pleasant and far from easy. In this time, Melissa has willingly and most effectively supported and counseled me in defending my interests (as well as my children) as we watched my former spouse cycle through four different attorneys during this same time period. I don't mean to imply we've been perfect and won every argument but suffice it to say she wouldn't still be my attorney if she weren't exemplary at what she does. Melissa's knowledge of the law, preparation, strategy, lightning-fast wit, and ability to interpret and articulate real time information is as impressive as it is admirable and demonstrates skills other lawyers should aspire to emulate. For me, entering a courtroom has never been a comfortable feeling. However, the thought of Melissa's representation instills a level of comfort and confidence that helps quickly squash anxiety. Attorneys can have the reputation of being driven by money and putting their financial interest ahead of their clients'. I have spent considerable funds to have legal representation, but, this is solely due to the nature of requiring council to defend against accusations and opposing behavior that continues to puzzle professionals to this day. Melissa has always been mindful and considerate of finances when representing me and consistently manages to invest her energy focusing on the right things that yield the greatest dividends. I am grateful to Melissa (and T&S) on many levels and look forward to the day conversations can be something other than preparing our next defense. Until then, I'm thankful she's younger than me since, based on my situation, I'll probably require her services for the next 30 years. #thank_you_T&S

I cannot recommend Samantha Freed enough for her services in family/marital law. Not only is she incredibly knowledgeable and confident in her area of legal work, but she is also kind, encouraging and respectful of her client's unique needs. I felt comfortable and heard.

We had a bad experience with this firm, particularly Mr. Albro. He comes across as a caring person, but in the end it comes down to money. I wouldn’t recommend hiring this firm. Money, money, money. That’s all they care about.

I can't recommend this firm, and Evan Mayo in particular, enough. He has been incredibly communicative and highly professional in the real estate matters I brought to him. I am confident the firm would be able to handle most any issue you can throw at them!

I worked with Evan Mayo with my accident and he and his team were amazing! Prompt. I always got a response, phone call or email. Painless process. Thank you!

My experience with the Tremblay & Smith law firm has been an outstanding one. I've been working with Melissa Ritter for over a year now for my case involving custody, visitation and child support. She is extremely attentive, responding to any questions I might have in a very timely manner, and also thoughtful as she makes sure to ask questions that have importance and progress the case forward. Her work inside a court room is beyond impressive, as Mrs. Ritter possesses a razor sharp knowledge of the law and was able to bring up statutes and law off the top of her head where another attorney could not. She comes fully prepared to any court room and, at least in my case, the difference between a great attorney (her) and a good one was easy to distinguish. I was successful in my case in gaining full legal and physical custody of my children as well as support, sometimes thought impossible for a father to do. Even after the case is over she continues to work with you to make sure everything is as it should be and I have complete faith in her abilities to continue to represent me in the best manner possible. I can not recommend her strongly enough to anyone who might need representation in a case involving family law.

"INJUNCTION" Melissa, please take note of this very important word. My ex wife did a number of things to me at my business which I described to you in detail and you did NOTHING ! At the time I didn't know what an injunction was but after meeting with countless other lawyers I've been asked why you didn't call for this??? I have my thoughts on the matter but I will focus on what you should have done in my case and provide some helpful words for other readers here. An injunction is a judicial order that restrains a person from beginning or continuing an action "threatening or invading" the legal right of another. This is what should have taken place if Melissa Ritter would have done her job. An injunction is something that takes place when a spouse does things like stops paying mortgage on a home that is jointly owned forcing the other spouse to come up with the ENTIRE mortgage by themselves. Wait! There is much more... An injunction is when a spouse locks the other spouse out of joint bank accounts preventing one from viewing the money being stolen from the accounts. We are just getting started... An injunction could prevent cases of intrusion like if a spouse hijacks email accounts without permission. I'll give a couple of other examples of an injunction. Let's say the couple jointly own a business in the service industry and one of the spouses threatens to cancel customers on their spouses schedule(especially proof of text). Also, an easy one that any judge would see is inappropriate is when a spouse keeps all tax documents from viewing and does taxes incorrectly like hiding cash payments from a business(devaluing the business so that their spouse can't see how much a business is worth when doing an appraisal). Yes, it's a year later and I'm still trying to get my taxes from this horrible monster! Last, an injunction is justified when a spouse makes verbal threats as to sabotage a business or reputation even worse a personal threat. My ex wife had/has mental health issues from 2 traumatic events that happened in her life. She still sees therapists to help her deal with her issues. Unfortunately for me, I was caught up in her mental health decisions where you could have stepped in and did the right thing. I just wanted you to know Melissa that it has been just over a year since this has taken place to me and not a minute goes by that I'm overwhelmed with grief. It's almost 5am in the morning and I haven't slept a wink because this still plagues me that YOU caused me to lose everything in a divorce that didn't even go to court. After my ex wife did all of those things to me on a daily basis, there was only so much that I could have taken... I hope others read this so that they can find a suitable attorney for themselves and can use this helpful information if their spouse is attempting to do any of this to them. There are other reviews out there on this business. Please do your research well as I was told about this lawyer for a much simpler divorce case that had 2 people that actually tried to be equal and fair. I will never forgive you for what you have done and you will never know what you did to change my life. I haven't had a day off work in over 6 months because of your representation while my ex is enjoying a lavish lifestyle travelling and spending what I worked so hard for.
