SAVED MY LIFE My…read moreestranged wife and her boyfriend had hired three high-powered lawyers, demanding a third of my income for ten years, renewable at their whims. I'm 57 - that would have destroyed my financial future. My previous lawyer had already charged me ten thousand dollars in monthly fees before we'd ever even spoken to a judge, and demanded another ten to finish the job, so I was forced to walk away, saying "enough is enough!" That left me desperate: I was facing three crack lawyers with no representation, a month before pre-trial. I asked everywhere for help, and finally a public defender told me "I know JUST the guy". The next day, a man with a tough, no-nonsense tone called me back. He asked me for details, listened carefully and said "I think I can help you," he said, "come out to my office and we'll talk". When Jason Sullivan came to the hall to meet me, he looked like a part-time boxer: tough, with a gleam of humor in his eye. His handshake was strong, his eye contact unwavering. From the outset he made it clear that he was not out to extract maximum payments from me, and that he really, really disliked cheats and swindlers. "So what are you hoping to get out of this?" he asked, listening patiently as I responded. "I just want her out of my life. Without having to pay her huge amounts of money". "That sounds reasonable", he said; "I think we can get that for you". And for the next three months, he went to bat for me. For the first time since the lawsuit had started, I had a champion in my corner, ready and able to fight for me. Jason was careful, methodical, painstaking. He picked up on subtle things my previous attorney hadn't even noticed: my ex had signed an affidavit claiming she didn't own a car, then cited the need for gas and oil for the car she didn't own. During the hearing, Jason was calm, measured, and polite, as my ex asserted lie after lie; pretending to need a restraining order when she had no cause, claiming to have been sleeping on friends' couches when she had been living with her boyfriend for years; claiming to barely speak English, when she had a masters degree in teaching the language. Jason had coached me on staying quiet while he handled the situation, so I held back, even when the urge to blurt out "She's lying!" was almost overwhelming. He was right. The judge dismissed the restraining order, and her lawyers backed down; the final settlement was about a twentieth what they'd been seeking, and Jason never charged me another dime beyond his retainer. When the dust settled, he invited me into his office, as happy as I was with the outcome. There was no doubt that he genuinely cared what happened to me, and his parting words were: "now that it's over, you have a great job and you've got a good life ahead of you." And that was how Jason Sullivan saved my life.

My husband and I had been looking for an attorney who offered fair, transparent pricing for estate…read moreplanning services, including our wills, powers of attorney, transfer-on-death (TOD) designations, and advanced health care directives. We'd had a trust in place when our children were younger but didn't feel one was necessary now that they are adults and our assets have clear beneficiaries and TODs. The first firm we consulted insisted that we needed a new trust, quoting roughly $3,000 in upfront meetings before any documents were even prepared, plus a $500 annual maintenance fee. When we met with Kathryn, the experience was entirely different. She provided clear, set fees from the start, listened carefully to our situation, and agreed that a trust wasn't needed at this stage. She also drafted our wills in a way that makes it easy to transition to a trust later if our financial situation changes. Kathryn was a pleasure to work with--professional, personable, and efficient. Her office had our completed documents ready within two weeks. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for straightforward, reasonably priced estate planning guidance.

Attorney Welsh went far beyond what was expected of him to achieve a beneficial result in my case and the end result was I got my life back. Not only have we resolved my legal matter, but I feel I'm in a better place personally having gone through this process with the assistance of Samdperil & Welsh. In my younger years, I had the "opportunity" to make the acquaintance of most of the criminal defense attorneys located in Southern New Hampshire; there are none I'd recommend before Samdperil & Welsh. Truly, I can't thank them enough!

She kept repeating there is a $350 charge for a consultation and she would need to confirm there isn't a conflict that would be a problem for the firm. It was all and all a very strange two minute conversation wherein I decided to call elsewhere. I have no problem paying any fee but prior to even getting to the point of whether I would be making an appt she mentioned it 3 times and was basically trying to dissuade me from making one. Anyway they may be great attorneys but they should look into the who is handling these initial calls because Audrey sends the wrong vibe.
