Nicole Longton represented me in an assault and battery charge. Since our very first conversation…read moreshe made me feel like she was taking care of me and throughout the whole ordeal, she kept me well informed of what's going on and what to expect next. She was able to get the charges dismissed and maintain my clean record. A few months later, under different circumstances, I was charged again with assault and battery. I hired her to represent me again. This time she was just as perfect as the first time. She was prompt, kept me well informed and again, had the charges dismissed. Afterwards, I have recommended her to anyone who would listen. She actually represented a family member of mine and had his charges dismissed also. She is phenomenal and I wouldn't even consider hiring anyone else if I ever needed legal representation in the future.

If you don't care that she acts above the law and includes details not relevant to the case or…read moreapplicable law, then she may be the lawyer for you. I rarely leave negative reviews, but I feel obligated to share my experience so others can make an informed decision. Throughout my interactions with this attorney, I found the level of professionalism to be disappointing. There appeared to be an overwhelming caseload, which often resulted in confusion regarding court dates, meeting times, and case-related communications. Important details were frequently mixed up, creating unnecessary stress and requiring constant follow-up. Communication was another significant concern. Emails were often written in an unprofessional tone, and when mistakes occurred, there was little to no accountability. Instead of acknowledging errors and working collaboratively to resolve them, responsibility was often shifted elsewhere. At the same time, delays from clients or others involved in the case were met with criticism and impatience, creating a frustrating double standard. Perhaps most concerning was the overall lack of confidence this experience inspired. Professionalism, organization, accountability, and respect are qualities clients should expect from legal representation, and unfortunately, those qualities were consistently lacking in my experience. If this review is challenged or dismissed simply because the attorney claims not to recognize the situation or disputes the feedback, that would only reinforce the concern. Clients have a right to share honest experiences, whether positive or negative. This review reflects my genuine experience and opinion based on direct interactions. I would encourage anyone considering representation to carefully evaluate whether this attorney's communication style, organization, and professional conduct align with their expectations before retaining services.

After spending over 50K in legal fees on two lawyers and losing years of my life trying get terms…read moreof separation agreement settled, I really needed to make sure of my next selection. Melanie did what the other 2 lawyers didn't do. SHE GOT RESULTS! Lucky for me, the third time was the charm. I found out about Melanie Solomon on the Mass Super Lawyers list. I am proof of why Melanie is on that list. Melanie gave me great advice on whether to pursue possible legal action versus just going after retirement funds owed to me. Melanie's only interests and concerns were to do what was best for her client. My case was very challenging as my uncooperative ex-wife moved out of state to Florida and the retirement funds were moved to a different company. Melanie was very organized and kept tabs on my case to keep things moving. She persisted and pushed things along till it's successful conclusion. What stood out to me was that Melanie was a true professional. My case was probably one of her smallest cases, but she cared, accepted full responsibility of my case and I always felt like she was giving me the same effort of her more lucrative cases. Melanie's billing was more than fair and offered great value. My only regret is that I didn't select Melanie from the start. In my heart, I know Melanie would have got things done once, right and the first time. SELECTING THE RIGHT LAWYER CAN BE A LIFE CHANGING AND CONSEQUENTIAL DECISION. Selecting Melanie Solomon will be one of the best decisions you can make.

I thank my lucky stars I landed on Marissa's client list. She is a bulldog. She was fierce, powerful, persistent, and always ready for the next step. She was always available, responding in record time to any and all issues and questions I had. She was never intimidated by the other side, she only came back stronger everytime. Her expertise in her field of practice amazed me. Everytime I personally felt like I couldnt go on, she gave me stability and piece of mind to keep fighting for what I deserved and what was right & legal. Trust me when I say Marissa was my life line. You 100% want her and her team on your side! I am forever grateful for her guidance

My wife and I worked with Robert on a very complicated case. Before hiring him, we consulted with…read moremultiple attorneys. Every one of them tried to persuade us to file a Ch 13 because they believed our income was too high for a Ch 7. Robert was the only attorney who carefully reviewed our situation and felt we had a strong case for Ch 7. We ultimately decided to hire Robert, and it was one of the best decisions we could have made. Robert's preparation was incredibly thorough. He paid attention to every detail and followed a very structured process. At times, I honestly thought he was asking for more documentation than necessary. I didn't understand why he needed so much paperwork--until the hearing. While waiting for our case to be called, we watched several other attorneys struggle because they weren't prepared. The magistrate repeatedly reprimanded attorneys for their lack of preparation, and many cases had to be continued. When my wife's name was finally called, I was nervous that we'd run into similar problems. Instead, thanks to Robert's preparation, every document was in order and every question was answered immediately. Our hearing went smoothly without a single issue. Our case was completed efficiently and without any resistance from the court. Seeing firsthand how other cases unfolded made us appreciate Robert's attention to detail, preparation, and deep knowledge of the law even more. If you're looking for an attorney who will thoroughly prepare your case and give you the best possible representation, I highly recommend Robert Kovacs. We were fortunate to find him.

RED FLAG WARNING ‼ I attended a webinar from this firm that…read morewas very useful. So I can recommend the firm for learning purposes. I actually had been planning to work with this firm to add an additional property into an existing trust and to establish an advanced healthcare directive. However, due to a busy schedule I had pushed out my official scheduled meeting several weeks. But then something came up and I needed to reschedule that appointment. While trying to do so, I mentioned why I had to reschedule and what I was looking for from the firm. At that point the person I spoke with attitude changed. She stated that their firm was unwilling to work with an existing trust but they could make me a new one. When I asked why she said that would be modifying another firms work and they won't do that; they would only be able to create a brand new trust for me. Really? That is completely ridiculous. The recording costs alone woyld be cost prohibitive, never mind the cost of their time. Reputable attorneys work with existing trusts all the time. This is a big RED FLAG. Trusts do not belong to the firm that created it, they belong to the trust and are managed by the trustee that is often the person who had the trust created. It is a huge RED FLAG, in my opinion, that this firm insists that a new trust must be created. The only way I can make sense of that is if they want to collect payment for establishing the trust, and every deed transfer. And/or they might want to be the trustee on the new trust -- which might ensure future and possibly on-going payments. If the latter were true, that would be an even bigger RED FLAG --as it would suggest that may have a financial reason to want such control. So, I highly suggest people do their homework before working with this firm. And if you decide to do so, I suggest that you compare services and costing from another law firm. And be especially wary if they suggest being the trustee! The final RED FLAG , is that they are a "high-pressure sales" organization, where salespeople aggressively pursue potential customers through repeated calls, texts, and emails. This approach is off-putting and given what I learned in my last conversation with them it has led to negative and suspicious perceptions of the business. This is the reason I just spent 15 minutes writing this review.

I had a sibling who paid for services from this lawyer and law firm, who not only happily took…read moretheir money, but who appeared to represent the opposing party the last time he represented my sibling in court. It was on my siblings final court appearance with this counsel that he observed an exchange of correspondence (verbal and possibly written) between his lawyer and soon-to-be-ex. What took place after the fact, makes it hard not to speculate the possibilities of what was taking place between the lawyer and his client's ex. What are those possibilities? I am not sure. But considering that my sibling (and a witness) observed that this lawyer appeared to throw him under the bus in court (also noted and documented by the court appointed judge), it really makes one wonder... Could he have been paid off by the opposing party? Did they know each other personally? Honestly, who knows... What I do know is that the end result of what had taken place that day proves that this lawyer had failed to represent his client and judging by reviews on various online portals, my sibling is not the only one to experience this. With that being said, please take the time to do your research and take the reviews of others seriously. (PS: If you feel it necessary and the end results are damaging to you and to your family, never hesitate to report the recipient to the Board of Bar Overseers in your region.)
