We have been working with Ira for several years. He has been extremely detail oriented and a great communicator. He was spot on with filing all our documents and we felt very comfortable when we had meetings with him or spoke on the phone. Bottom line he held our hand all the way and stood by us. I would recommend him to anyone. Outstanding attorney.

I had the pleasure of working with Ira over the past year on a very complicated bankrupcy case. He worked tirelessly to ensure that our filing was done properly in order for us to obtain the best outcome. He made an extremely stressful situation so much easier for everyone involved. I can't recommend him enough. He is kind, caring and compassionate which are not qualities that all attorneys possess.

A Good man to have by your side during a difficult period. A great buffer between my ex, and her unreasonable / unprofessional Attorney.

Ira helped mo gain custody of my son after my former spouse had a serious mental health breakdown Positioning my son in a stable household is unquestionably in his best interest, and Ira helped to make that happen. Fathers gaining custody of their children is not often easy in Massachusetts.

I obtained Ira’s assistance on my divorce. It was the first time seeking legal assistance. Ira was very compassionate took his time to explain the process and walk me through my options. He made the whole process run smoothly, fast, and with the least possible stress. I highly recommend him.

Stephen McDonough truly cares about his clients. He goes above and beyond, makes you feel comfortable and gives knowledgeable advice. He has a way of simplifying the process and breaking it down. He's been a blessing and has helped me resolve everything in the best possible way. He makes himself available to help even after the divorce. If you're looking for someone who will make you feel supported, well-informed, and you want a smooth & streamlined process, I highly recommend Next Phase Legal

I used Next Phase Legal for a prenuptial agreement. Stephen and his staff were friendly and professional throughout the process even when it sometimes took me awhile to produce the required documents. My questions were always answered thoroughly and promptly and I felt that the legal advice given throughout the process was very well thought out. Wouldn't hesitate to use Next Phase should I need to in the future, but here's hoping I won't! Thanks again Stephen and staff!

I could not be happier with the service I received from Tiffany during my recent divorce. She is an extremely knowledgeable attorney who went out of her way to ensure my international divorce proceedings went smoothly. Throughout the process, Tiffany kept me up to date and informed. Tiffany is efficient, thorough and a pleasure to work with. The entire team at Next Phase Legal was wonderfully supportive and I am thrilled with the experience that I had.

The paperwork was not complete and was returned to one of us. Corrections had to be made and returned.

I worked with Attorney McDonough and Next Phase Legal & Dispute Resolution in Norfolk, MA for my contested divorce. Stephen and his team were always attentive and provided me with updates about my case, and responded quickly when I had questions. My case did take awhile to complete with numerous court hearings, but I knew I was in good hands during the process. Next Phase Legal was able to help me reach my main goal in the case, and I would recommend Next Phase Legal for anyone needing help with a divorce or family law case.

Maura Melcher is a fantastic attorney. I would recommend her without hesitation! Maura is very knowledgeable, creative and professional. She is also very compassionate and kind. She really listened to me and worked to reach the outcome that I desired in my divorce case. Maura worked hard on my behalf and was very responsible and fair with her fees. I always felt that Maura was going above and beyond for me and I am grateful that she was the person that represented me. I will always appreciate her kindness and support during a difficult time in my life.

I was lucky to have found and worked with Maura Melcher during this difficult period of my life. Her patience, compassion and kindness along with her professionalism and knowledge helped navigate me through some rough waters. Maura worked with me financially so I could feel comfortable in my situation. I would highly recommend Maura to anyone needing this type of professional help. I was blessed to have been able to work with her.

Maura and her team saved mine and my children's life. I will be forever grateful to Maura for the work she did. There is no good outcome in divorce, but Maura helped to ensure the outcome for my children was a positive one. The evening before my divorce Maura stayed up until 9:30pm making sure the agreement was completed down to the finest minutiae. Jocelyn was a rock with me in court that day. These two women helped me to breath again for the first time in years. Thank you.

Maura Melcher represented me throughout a contentious two year divorce. She is an excellent attorney! Maura is extremely professional, intelligent, and her knowledge of family law is outstanding. In addition, I have never met a more genuinely kind, compassionate and empathetic person. Throughout my case, Maura made sure both my best interests, along with my sons, were first and foremost. She knew when to push for things we deserved but was also honest if she felt my expectations were unrealistic - an important quality in an attorney. She was extremely fair and considerate of my new role as a single mom and did her best to keep legal costs fair and reasonable. She kept me well informed and always responded to my questions and concerns in a timely manner. Maura was instrumental in helping me change my life for the better and I am forever grateful for all that she has done for me and my family.

Maura has been a wonderful attorney during a difficult time. You won't find a more caring, efficient lawyer.

I worked with Attorney Hanley for my divorce and she was a very knowledgeable, strong, and compassionate advocate for me. I appreciate her kindness and guidance during what is a very scary, uncertain, and stress-inducing time. I highly recommend her services if you find yourself in this situation as well.

I would recommend this office to anyone who is looking for a companionate...professional....and of all most important patient attorney/law firm. They will cover every aspect and potential issues in your case. This IS the firm you want to get what you want!

I had a messy divorce 3 years with a trial. Atty Hanley was great. She was great at laying out my case which made us more credible and gave me a feeling that my voice was heard. Besides the above mention she is fair and realistic, she will tell you what to fight for and what not to fight for. Her fees are fair and reasonable for a divorce especially when you feel like finances are a disaster. Divorce is a situation no one wins and that’s why you need a lawyer like Cynthia fighting for you!

Attorney Cynthia Hanley was truly a consummate professional throughout my divorce. Her expert counsel in the intricacies of the court system coupled with her sound legal experience helped me immensely during my greater than one year divorce. She presented timely possible outcomes with upsides and downsides, above all giving advice that was thoughtful, consistent, and unfailingly on target. What I appreciated the most was her unwavering support of my case settlement prior to trial - she sifted through several complicated issues regarding pensions, alimony, house buyouts, tax issues with little input from her legal counterpart and came to a settlement via her commitment at crunch time. I highly recommend her services to anyone in the future!

Excellent Family Law and Divorce attorney, highly recommend

Attorney Bisio is exceptional and prompt! I highly recommend him and is a wealth of knowledge! More importantly he fully ensures that you understand everything from A-Z.

Dennis helped me with a workers' comp claim I had from being injured while in the office at work. I did not know I was eligible for workers comp until a relative mentioned it. At first I tried to submit the information on my own, but decided to get someone who knew what they were doing on my side. Dennis was easy to work with and knows the system inside and out. My claim was decided in my favor so I am a happy client. I liked that I dealt with the lawyer himself in phone calls and meetings and not administrative staff.

We had a great stay at Stefano’s place. The location is excellent with the main sights of Bologna just minutes walk away as well as restaurants and shopping. Stefano was a Great Host, always fast response and very helpful.

Quick profesional service, ask for Robin, She is a great paralegal .

If you need a workers compensation attorney Dennis Bisio is very experienced and successfully handled my case. Because of errors made before I hired Dennis it looked like my claim would be denied. This attorney knows the system very well, and he did not promise me that he would be successful, but he was! Choosing him as my lawyer was the right choice. If you have not dealt with the system there are definitely hurdles to getting your claim approved and to get the correct amount awarded for your injury.

The FIXER????? He holds onto divorce cases for as long as he can so he can keep collecting money. He DOES NOT settle. Avoids phone calls, will not respond to clients or other attorneys. Does zero to try and settle a case. He is the worst. There is nothing he wants more than to go to trial.

From day one of retaining Barach Family Law Group, the attorney's have been professional, responsive, and extremely diligent. The divorce case I was part of, had been difficult and encompassed many moving parts. This groups suggestions, and knowledge of the process was exceptional. It's very clear they have decades of experience. The team never lost sight of what was in the best interest of my child/children. And for that, I especially thank the owner of this firm.

Attorney Matt Barach and his staff went above and beyond and provided me with second to none service. I always felt like a ‘client’ as opposed to ‘another case’ every step of the way. Thank you so very much.

Barach Family Law worked tirelessly to represent my best interests and see that needs were met.

Matt and Jenn Salermo did an amazing job for me. I will always be grateful to them and how they have handled my case since the first day until it was officially final. They are very professional, patient and thoughtful. I appreciate what they have done for me. Thank you. I highly recommend Matt and Jenn!

Attorney Wons is not only a great person but a fantastic lawyer and is dedicated to helping people every day!

Leila is a great attorney to hire if you are going through a divorce. I find her compassionate, easy to reach and very well prepared in court. I highly recommend her if you are going through a divorce.

Leila did a fantastic job representing me through a recent collaborative divorce. At first I was a little skeptical on the collaborative process in general, but she helped me understand the benefits and it worked out as well as it could have. I have found that law, especially divorce, can be cold and difficult - so I was really pleased with Leila's balanced approach of being both an analytical professional lawyer but at the same time a genuinely kind person who understands and doesn't disregard the emotional side of the process.

Leila is an experienced family law attorney that genuinely cares about every client. She is detailed oriented with superior listening skills. Her passion for honest and accurate legal representation leads to the best possible outcomes which exceeds client expectations.

Leila was outstanding to work with. She is very professional and effective. She offered a lot of experience, good advise and pays attention to details. I highly recommend her as an attorney.

Great Attorney, David was always on time for court and made the process easy. He was very attentive to what needed to happen to make the divorce as painless as possible for both parties. Worked around my schedule for meetings and go over the paperwork, informed me when the papers got served. All around a great service for someone who had never gone through a divorce!

Dave was very responsive, efficient, and professional. He got the job done and was very knowledgeable of the matter at hand. I would recommend his firm to anyone looking for an attorney specializing in family law.

David was very helpful in guiding me through my legal process and explained everything to me in a way I understood it. My process was smooth, professional, and quick turnaround. Definitely would recommend using Callahan law firm. Thanks for all the help!

To start, I'm amazed by how well Laurel Barraco guided me through my case and fought for my best interests. While many legal matters are stressful, attorney Barraco takes the time to answer questions and ease concerns. Most importantly, attorney Barraco doesn't beat around the bush about difficult matters. Rather, attorney Barraco is willing to say what her client needs to hear. Overall, a very positive experience.

Very professional, engaged and responsive throughout my case. They were also excellent at responding to issues/questions years after the case was finalized. High recommendation

Worked around my schedule for meetings and go over the paperwork, informed me when the papers got served. All around a great service for someone who had never gone through a divorce!

    David was very helpful in guiding me through my legal process and explained everything to me in a way I understood it. My process was smooth, professional, and quick turnaround. Definitely would recommend using Callahan law firm. Thanks for all the help!

    To start, I'm amazed by how well Laurel Barraco guided me through my case and fought for my best interests. While many legal matters are stressful, attorney Barraco takes the time to answer questions and ease concerns. Most importantly, attorney Barraco doesn't beat around the bush about difficult matters. Rather, attorney Barraco is willing to say what her client needs to hear. Overall, a very positive experience.

Attorney Bill Farias and his team were amazing from start to finish. They were very responsive kind and understanding throughout my entire divorce process. I was kept well informed every step of the way. Attorney Farias listened to my needs and executed a plan on how to proceed forward that would result in the best possible outcome. I am so happy that I chose Farias Family law to represent me. I would highly recommend Attorney Farias and his team to anyone.

Hire this firm, you will be happy that you did. Attorney Farias and Attorney Casey Karabin were amazing during the entire process of my divorce and I cannot be more pleased. They were thoughtful, professional and most important (to me) quick to respond whenever I emailed them or their team. They are also well respected within the legal community and that was very apparent to me during their cordial interactions with opposing attorneys and the court itself. They get an A+ on every detail to me!

I have nothing but positive things to say about Farias Family Law. They were all very professional and accommodating. Answered any questions I had, explained things well and were super helpful. Everything was done in a very timely fashion which was great since that is exactly what I needed their help with in my divorce. Everything is all squared away now and I couldn’t be happier, wish I found them sooner.

Before I highered Farias Family Law group I was engaged and told I would not be able to move out of state with my kids from my previous marriage, to live with my fiancé. My previous lawyer was awful and told me to give in because I was not going to get the outcome I wanted. I ended up meeting with Brian and he heard my side of the story and he went through the entire process with me if I were to higher them. I knew immediately they were the ones for me. It’s a whole team of people working together. Jessica always made sure to let me know all the i formation I needed and Nina Sousa, my attorney was always going above and beyond to make sure to answer any questions and to be as prepared and ready as possible. She was confident and made me feel at ease through the entire process. Any questions I had were answered right away and I was never left to question anything. She was quick and diligent and the process enemy by faster then I thought it would. In the end I got the outcome that I wanted and I was able to be able to move out of state with my kids and live with my now husband. I would refer Farias family law to anyone who needs to higher a divorce attorney or any kind of custody issue because they are the best. Because of then I am able to move on with my life and cannot thank them enough!!

Before I hired Attorney Sousa from Farias Family Law, I was in a position where it could have gone either way. My ex and children’s father, had lied in our first court hearing and ended up getting every other weekend visitations. This was absurd to me because he has and I believe still still has an addiction issue. Now, after the second court hearing and having Attorney Sousa at my side the entire way, along with Jessica, the paralegal in the office, I was granted everything I was asking for and have full custody of my kids as well. I will be referring anyone I can to them! Throughout the entire process everyone was extremely responsive, kind and whenever I didn’t understand something they thoroughly explained it. Thank you to Attorney Sousa, Paralegal Jessica, Karen and all that contributed to my families success at the Farias Family Law Offices!

I employed the superb services of the Law Offices of Lisa A. Ruggieri, P.C. for divorce representation. I highly recommend her office and found Lisa and her office to be extremely diligent, helpful and proactive. I received email updates of all developments and each important notification was followed up by a phone call to make sure I received the information and understood it. I also worked closely with her paralegal Anthony and he made it very easy to upload documentation electronically and to provide electronic signatures when permitted. He was also very thorough in guiding me through the divorce proceedings. We conducted the entire process during the pandemic but Lisa was always on top of things, much more than opposing counsel. She was firm and clear in her positions defending my interests and I feel that our judge deemed her arguments were stronger and more convincing than the opposition. Lisa was also insistent that we complete the process quickly in order to save not just time and aggravation but also legal expenses on my end. I greatly appreciated the level of professionalism and dedication to my case and would recommend her legal services to anyone.

I would highly recommend Lisa Ruggieri to anyone who needs representation going through family dispute litigations. I have worked with her for a few years on what should have been a minimal case. She is straight to the point and very knowledgeable in her field. She has been extremely responsive with any questions I have had and has worked vigorously to come to a reasonable agreement. Anthony, her paralegal was also extremely responsive and prompt in answering any questions, reviewing paperwork, and explaining processes. Ultimately, we have avoided trial, avoided incurring additional fees, and will have a judgment that makes sense for both parties.

Strong Advocate through the Pandemic! Even during the pandemic, Attorney Ruggieri successfully negotiated a Stipulation for Judgment on all post-divorce issues without requiring a single Court appearance or hearing. My case was resolved amicably and I couldn't be happier with the final result. I strongly recommend Attorney Ruggieri to anyone currently going through or considering a divorce or separation. Thanks Lisa!

I highly recommend working with Lisa Ruggieri- she was thorough, accessible, and a fierce advocate for me and my children. Though the process is difficult, Lisa and Anthony made it seamless. Having Lisa in my corner was the best decision I could have made.

Very rude., never listen to the client. I am stuck in court for almost 5 years because of her inability to listen, she always yelled and do only what she wants. I was her client during 13 months for my divorce.In 1 year she put in her pack the whole profit of my part on selling of my marital house in legal fees and I still in court with many problems because she didn't protect my kids properly and most of my Divorce agreement has different interpretation accordingly to the law.
