It's hard for me to exaggerate how much I like and appreciate Barb Macy…read more In an age when ethics seem to be irrelevant, Barb deals with each of her clients in an honest, straighforward, and compassionate way. She will pursue your rights aggressively while also remaining open to mediation and consensus. Barb tells it like it is. You can count on her for an honest assesment of your situation and her ability to help you. Barb is a lawyer's lawyer. She comes from a New England legal family. She has long-standing relationships with local colleagues. She's an insider. You're an outsider. You need her. Most of all, Barbara J Macy believes in personal integrity. She's the exact opposite of all of those terrible stereotypes about lawyers. Barb sleeps well at night. And with her at your side, you will too.

Barbara is dynamic and able to adjust her style and role as needed. She listens well, focusing on the case at hand, and works very well under pressure - her work is quite literally amazing! I retained her, as the plaintiff, and find her to be fair, realistic, and effective. She explains well the probable outcome and reviews possible alternatives, preparing her clients for all possibilities, giving one confidence in the result. I would highly recommend!!

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.

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.
