As a local Realtor ®, I have had the great pleasure of working with Gilmore & Gilmore for over a…read moredecade.  I have introduced my clients to Attorney Rick Gilmore, Jr and his team so many times that I long lost count.  As competent and reliable counsel, Rick has helped my clients in some of the most complex circumstances one can imagine in real estate.  From estates with property being subdivided to short sales and even most recently the liquidation of property for a discontinued corporation; I have turned to Gilmore & Gilmore to ensure perfect execution for my clients.  What I most rely on is that Rick and his staff will be able to calmly and effectively communicate with my clients so that they understand everything that is going on in the sales.  From probate cases to real estate closings, Gilmore & Gilmore has been my go-to law firm as a trusted advisor.  I highly recommend this firm!

I used the services of Jarrod Hochman twice in my life, both to dissatisfaction. The first time I…read moreused him was about eight years ago for a car accident case, and by the time this most recent accident rolled around in April of last year, I completely forgot how awful it was dealing with him and his office and how much I disliked the experience. This most recent time in April 2012, he gladly took my case and met with me once at his office. From then on, he did just about everything he could to avoid answering my calls himself or having to meet with me himself. The assistant he employed at the time also neglected to answer my phone messages. After months of dealing with two people failing to reply to me in timely manners, Jarrod hired a new assistant. Months after my physical therapy was completed and my injuries healed, I was not receiving word back on the status of my case. Again, I followed up, leaving voicemails and messages with the receptionist, most left again unanswered. I then finally got a meeting with Jarrod's assistant, at their office. She proceeded to tell me that they couldn't proceed with my case and settlement until they received the medical records and billing from my service providers, and that they were having trouble receiving them. At that meeting, I advised Jarrod's assistant that I had moved recently and to please update my address in their records. She took down my new address. From there, I myself went to my PT office to request my records, and went back a second time to pick them up. I also got the record/billing from my doctor's office. then drove and hand delivered all of these to Jarrod's office. From there, the case eventually got settled and in late January, my settlement check was to be mailed out to me. A couple of weeks later, I never received my check, so I called Jarrod. I fortunately got a hold of him by phone, and he said the check had been sent out. I asked him to which address, and he replied with my old address. So, his assistant had failed to update my records as originally instructed. Jarrod apologized for the delay and error on the part of his office, and offered to put a stop payment on that original check and cut me a new one if the original did not arrive in the mail (via mail forwarding) within the next few days. Another few days came and went, and no check. So I called him on a Thursday evening and left a message asking if he would please go ahead and stop payment, write a new check, as he had originally offered; I would go by his office myself to pick it up. Friday, he came into the office but did not call me back. The following Monday, his assistant called and said the check would be waiting for me downstairs. So I went by and picked it up, and drove to the bank, where I noticed he subtracted $32 for a stop check fee -- which was HIS fault and HIS offer -- as well as $70+ for medical record fees! I sent him a letter by certified mail on February 26 disputing these two fees, and as of today March 5, he has not responded either by mail or phone. *Update: March 6: After a phone call yesterday March 5 suggesting a possible complaint to the BBB, Jarrod called me today and advised he would not be contesting the two disputed fees and would be sending me out a check for that amount.

I was in my local gun shop with a friend and they all suggested giving Jason a call, unanimously (3 separate kiosks in the shop with independent dealers, so around 8 people). He has a reputation for only taking cases he can win and not just taking people's money for his time if he can't effect the outcome people are looking for. I called Jason's office and spoke with his staff who were knowledgeable and provided a lot of insight and then he reviewed my case and said he would take me on. This was during the height of Covid and they were still answering their office phones. In my experience, he was completely direct and to the point, which is something I value. He navigated me through the entire process, always answered his email with every annoying question I had, and exceeded my expectations in every way. I can say with great confidence, without Jason's services, I would not have secured my LTC. Jason's service is top notch. He does criminal defense to my understanding as well, and although I hope I never need his services again, I know who my guy is if I do.

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.

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.)
