Gary went above and beyond to make sure that I didn't need to worry about anything.. He stayed on top of things even when I couldn't think straight or want to deal with anything.. Gary made sure that everything was explained to me in detail even when I had 1 million questions he never rushed me. Gary is very smart and will not put up with anyone's bullshit and that's the kind of attorney that you need in your corner... I had a long drawn out case that threw a lot of curveballs at him and he always came out on top for me.. I can't thank him enough from the bottom of my heart for everything that he did for me and my two boys.

I had a great experience with Kevin Heffernan's law office. I connected with Kevin over a rental…read morehousing issue (I was the tenant) and he took the time to explain to me what my options were. We started with a flat fee formal letter to my landlord. When the landlord was unresponsive, Kevin laid out all the options and made clear arguments for why I might want to move forward - and was equally clear on the reasons why I might not want to move forward with filing a suit. In other words, he wasn't the least bit pushy and he felt more like a trusted advisor than a lawyer trying to maximize his bill. Kevin was clear, helpful, and to the point. In the end I decided to file and was able to get a very favorable settlement. My living situation was a pretty miserable experience and I'm very grateful that Kevin helped me feel legally protected as I was getting out of it, and helped me get compensated for my trouble. Would definitely recommend!

Because it was not a family law matter she was unable to take my case. However, she got on the phone with several attorneys who were experts in that area of law until she found the best one to represent me on an emergency basis. She helped me understand the paperwork and the case and gave me her opinion before making sure I found someone who could represent me. She donated lots of time and energy and didn't charge me. Not many people will just donate their time. Thank you so much for your help.

My wife and I are going through a divorce and my income dramatically decreased recently because I…read morelost my job. I tried to lower my child support obligation and my wife and I agreed to use Ms. Choteau Levine to mediate our dispute to see if we could resolve it without having to go to court. Ms. Levine is a former family law judge so we thought she would be a good choice. After over 3 hours of back and forth, we were unable to reach any agreement at all. This is of course not Ms. Levine's sole responsibility, as my wife and I were just unable to come to terms. However, when you are paying $450 an hour, you expect the person to bring a certain expertise to the table. I did not find that she really added anything to the process. Yes, she warned us of the perils of going to trial and the benefits of controlling the process ourselves by reaching an agreement, but that was about it. She also had us separate into different rooms after her initial questions. Although this is fairly common among mediators these days, I am not a fan of it. To me, it undercuts the primary benefit of mediation, which is to get the parties talking and listening to each other. While separating us might make it easier on the mediator b/c it reduces the contentiousness, I don't think it serves the parties b/c it just reinforces an already overly adversarial process. When I did meet w/ Ms. Levine alone, my confidence was soon shaken when she admittedly miscalculated the proposed child support amounts, not once but twice. She also failed to take into account a provision of the law that allows the payor to reduce his obligation if the parties have a wide disparity in incomes. Her attitude appeared to be that that was a technicality and not worth discussing. However, because it significantly raised the amount of support that I was proposing, it undermined my negotiating position. When my wife proposed a complete settlement proposal to end the entire case, I declined because it involved some retirement assets. Ms. Levine appeared mildly disappointed, and opined that she did not think I would be entitled to any of my wife's retirement money because it was merely transferred from other accounts and not made as part of her employment. She made this recommendation despite not even asking to see the post-nuptial agreement which clearly stated that I was entitled to any contributions to her retirement funds. This reinforced my feeling that she was more interested in settling the case than listening to my opinions or allowing me to make wise decisions. This was particularly concerning because my wife had an attorney and I did not. Finally, Ms. Levine lost me for good when she refused to take my last counter-offer to my wife and her attorney. She said "They're done. I'm done. Its yes or no." So, I said no. Apparently, after 3 hours, she felt that she personally had had enough. Because she didn't specifically state that my wife had told her that their latest offer was a "take it or leave it" proposition, I don't know if her ultimatum was coming from my wife or Ms. Levine. Unfortunately, I didn't ask her. Regardless, she refused to take my final offer to my wife. I was stunned. Here I was, unemployed and paying this woman $225 /hr for a final total of $750 (my share) and she refused to spend another five minutes to convey my final offer to my wife and her attorney. I will probably never know if she would have accepted it, and we had to go to court the next day. Apparently, $1,500 does not go as far as it used to.

A dozen or so years ago, Cynthia MacCausland represented me in my divorce proceedings, during which…read moremy ex-wife, who earned six times as much as I did, was suing me for child support and other expenses, while simultaneously claiming the house and attempting to prevent me from ever seeing our daughter, despite my having never done anything to deserve this. Cynthia defended me wonderfully and saw to it that my daughter would get to spend time with me every Wednesday afternoon and stay with me on alternate weekends, and that the egregious child support demands were dramatically reduced, given my former spouse's vastly greater income and wider variety of savings and investment vehicles. In short, Cynthia MacCausland saved me from certain ruin, but financially and emotionally, and the only way I can ever repair her for that is to do what I have always done ever since: raved about her and referred others to her. If you are in need of legal representation, you can do no better.
