Would not recommend Michael Fontaine as a divorce lawyer. Total waste of time and money!!!…read more Definitely does not take women seriously ~ totally takes the man's side (no matter how much proof you have) he costs you money by chatting it up with your ex's lawyer and he DOES NOT listen, therefore going over everything two and three times. Also continually tries to talk you into wasting more time and money by way of dissertations and going to court. At the end of it all he took my awarded settlement and paid himself first, then wrote me a check from his office for the remainder. I felt like that was totally unethical. I will say the only good thing about him was his para legal... SHE WAS AMAZING!

I got legal guardianship iver my mother due to incapacitation. It became very stressful for me and…read moreI needed help. I called and spoke with Attorney Sean Davidson. When we met for a consultation, he was very professional and understanding. He and his team are incredibly responsive and have made it so less stressful for me. He , Erica, and Dolly were/are invaluable with all they've done to make this as easy as possible. Not a typical lawyer with charges that make one scratch their head. I couldn't have asked for anyone better than attorney Davidson and his team. If you're in a guardianship and finding it difficult and stressful caring for your loved one, I highly recommend Sean and his team...The Best! Steven Duchesne

Absolutely the scamming firm. They charge you $175 for 30 mins virtual consultation, you think you…read moreget a great deal right? Wrong, wrong, wrong, you just help them to pay some office expenses. Don't contact this firm unless you make 100K+ income. Instead of getting an answer-ended conversion, the 30 mins consultation is just a question-ended conversion. This is absolutely a legal rogues, they will take any case at any stage for high retainer fee, they know they could probably get 10% chance to overturn the current court ruling, but you can do this yourself for 5% chance. They spend at least 10 mins to question you for the answers you already filled in the intake form. They don't answer the questions you ask by saying excess time to research, research what? You claim you have 20+ years experience. Clown. The legal assistant is a piece of S, I repeatedly ask him I will send you 2 pieces ps documents, will the attorney read it before the scheduled meeting, and only answer my 4 questions during the meeting?This piece of S confirms the attorney will read them but they don't, so I paid $175 for a happy hello conversation. Safe yourself a good weekend dinner with family. I contacted one family firm, the attorney himself took the call with me , I spent 5 mins to brief my case status to him, he instantly instructed me safe yourself some money son, go talk to a unbundled and limited representation on the desk. I also contacted another family firm, the attorney himself call me in person for 10 mins conversation exactly the same with this Wright family law group, for FREE!! The attorney himself also agreed to pull a key document to read through first then will call me back the type of representation he can do for me for my best interest within next week! What a moral firm! THE NAME OF THIS ATTORNEY IS LAURENCE von BARTA IN MIDDLETON, MA! Find him if you need family law help with reasonable charge!!! I also had a meeting with another attorney from another case, the attorney charges $400/hr consultation in person. During the meeting, he instructed me every correct form or court ready tone motion I should use, give all type of notions for my choice to decide! Telling me the correct agencies to contact, which move is for my best interest! He also gave me the form that I should use for every that he knows, he is federal law specialist but even giving me the state court opinion. This is what a moral firm does! Don't dam contact this Wright Family Law Group unless you can prepare $20K+ for a simple case or $50K+ for a complicated case. Shame Firm! You steal $175 from me, I'm giving you back this 1 star.

Ellen didn't just win my custody case - she obliterated my narcissistic ex and their big firm…read moreBoston lawyer. You know the type: polished shoes, $900 suit, probably charges $300 just to breathe in your direction. Well, all that pedigree and billable-hour swagger didn't stop Ellen from mopping the courtroom floor with them. Watching that high powered attorney get dismantled by Ellen was like watching someone show up to a sword fight with a Nerf bat. Every smug objection? Smacked down. Every "prestigious " argument? Swiss cheese by the end of it. The guy looked less like a legal shark and more like a goldfish flopping around by the time Ellen was done. Meanwhile, my ex - who probably thought hiring " Boston's Best" meant automatic victory- had to sit there watching their dream team go down in flames. It was chef's kiss justice. If you want a lawyer who can crush not only your toxic ex but also their legal overpriced "muscle" , Ellen is the one. She doesn't just win cases- she embarrasses the competition so thoroughly, you almost feel bad for them. (Almost.)

I…read morehad no idea how anything worked in the court because I was never arrested and instead of making the process easier she made it a nightmare. She didn't know the law and I believe she talked to the lawyer for the other side because the day we went to court they parroted each other and said the same bs line. She didn't try to get any charges taken off or cut down to a lesser charge. I didn't want to plead guilty but she was yelling at me in court to plead guilty because she didn't like the way people were looking at her for representing me. She even asked me if I saw the way everyone was looking at her. I was like are you serious? She should have done the right thing and given me back my money to go somewhere else if she felt she couldn't represent me in good faith. I wish now I had just taken a court appointed lawyer. She didn't even know the law in Massachusetts not allowing people to be tape recorded under any circumstances. Tape recording can not be used in Massachusetts because it's against the law to record someone. The highest court got a case about this very thing and said under no circumstances can it be used and she was oblivious to this fact. Then she scolded me like a child telling me to take responsibility for what I did because I asked her if I could take back my guilty plea because I was under duress. I was crying while she was yelling in my face to just plead guilty which shes not supposed to do. In my opinion an attorney should not talk to people the way she spoke to me. If you want 7k you should at least work for it. She also never told me I was being put on trial the day we went to court she said it was to try to get something thrown out and I get there and I'm blind sided when all of a sudden I'm on trial and the judge was asking me how I plead. She pulled multiple dirty tricks on me and she should choose another profession.

From the very beginning, she was compassionate, responsive, and incredibly knowledgeable. She always took the time to answer my questions, explain the process clearly, and keep me informed every step of the way. Going through legal matters after an accident can be stressful, but her kindness, dedication, and attention to detail made a tremendous difference.

She is a tremendous asset to the firm, and I cannot thank her enough for everything she has done for me.

I have never written a review before because I tend to be forgiving. However, after seeing how Todd…read moreBeauregard handled my case, I felt compelled to write this to warn others before hiring him. I hired him after firing another attorney, hoping he would handle my case properly. Unfortunately, he did absolutely nothing. I provided clear responses to all interrogatories, but when I received the draft, many of the responses were incorrect. I had to call multiple times just to get them corrected. Before each trial, I shared several key points explaining where my ex was wrong, but he never raised them in court and instead repeated the same arguments every time. My ex-wife's attorney dismantled his arguments in court. Realizing that I was unlikely to win at trial, I wanted to pursue a settlement outside of court, but he was uncooperative. I ultimately had to rely on friends and family to help negotiate with my ex. The separation agreement drafted by my ex-wife's attorney required me to bear more costs for an anticipated child expense, which he failed to identify or address. He also represented me in a restraining order hearing. Before the hearing, I sent him several pages documenting how my ex had lied in previous proceedings, and I clearly stated that I wanted to testify. I even shared a draft of what I planned to say in court. However, on the day of the hearing, when I stood up to testify, he told the judge that I would not be testifying. I was shocked. He had never discussed this with me beforehand. I felt completely betrayed.
