She helped us deal with the difficult financial issues we faced and helped us design a parenting plan that has been working perfectly for the past year, since our divorce.

And I am perhaps most grateful that it has helped as manage this change as a family in the eyes of our children. If you face a divorce (or any other conflict), I highly recommend that you go to her.

Karen Stuntz was our GAL in my divorce regarding custody of our kids. My ex was the first to meet…read morewith her. I had previously attempted to get a restraining order against my ex twice and they were not extended, unfortunately, despite ample evidence of harassment and verbal abuse. Karen decided that because they were not extended I was a liar (the judge believed me, but felt it didn't qualify for an RO) and using an RO to gain custody (so she obviously looked at nothing I gave her including medical records, texts, etc. from during the marriage indicating I was being abused at home). My ex husband also gave her nearly FORTY nude and partially nude photographs of me that he stole from my deleted album folder. He printed 8x10 copies of these and Karen happily took them and kept them where anyone in her office could see. Despite the Lamb rule that she will remind you of constantly, this apparently did not apply to me and I had to find out about the pictures when reading her final report. I cannot even begin to explain the violation I felt. This lead to depression and anxiety, I had to take an FMLA from work. Additionally, Karen stated any accusations that I made against my ex should be strictly scrutinized because, you know, I am a liar according to Karen. These words and her report were used against me for YEARS and I had no choice but to agree to 50/50 custody with my ex husband who was essentially absent from participating in childcare duties during our entire marriage. Not only that but he (either he or someone he asked to) filed a 51A on me for neglect, which was promptly dismissed and never even investigated. But I am the liar, Karen? He has prolonged the divorce case and used litigation to abuse me further, causing our case to go to trial as well as even attempting to amend the final judgment- it has been over 4 years that he has been filing litigations against me. But I am the problem, Karen? Thankfully, our judge totally disagreed with Karen. Our judge believes that my ex is VIOLENT, ANGRY, etc. Our judge identified that I was credible in our final judgment. Our judge identified that I was the primary caregiver to our children. Additionally, because of Karen's words, my ex would spend years verbally abusing me, giving me the finger in front of our kids, making veiled threats against me, and acting aggressive and frightening, feeling very empowered by Karen. Luckily, another judge also saw through my ex husband and I was granted a 2 year RO against him due to his abuse. Karen has almost ruined my life, but I am clawing my way out and thankfully people who are better at their jobs are seeing the truth. I would not recommend Karen Stuntz in any capacity.

Attorney Geraldine (Geri) McEvoy of the McEvoy & Stuntz law firm helped me with a difficult divorce…read morethat was both amicable and contentious - my ex had mental problems that cost us a lot. With Geri's help I was able to end the marriage, keep my house, and see that my ex was taken care of. This was a unique case (aren't they all?) and we found a creative solution. I interviewed several lawyers before talking to Geri and I'll only say that I was not impressed. Geri listened, looked at my documents and records, and said she could help. Others at the firm were also both helpful and professional - thanks Deana and Rosemary.

People, Do not judge the quality of a lawyer by their suit. Sometimes, unfortunately, you cannot…read moreeven judge a lawyer by the recommendations they get . I was getting a divorce from a 28 years marriage, needed an attorney, was referred to one at this firm. Sarah Stuart, a beautiful woman in a really great suit. She was kind, attentive, and a great listener. The firm itself was comfortably and tastefully done up. She came with great recommendations from both men and women. When you are going through a divorce, it doesn't matter how amicable you intend to be; IT WILL STILL HURT so you need someone to protect you. During this time you are very vulnerable and you need guidance. However, your lawyer is not your friend, or your therapist. Sarah Stuart seemed to know what she was doing but after a few months, despite many discussions by phone, email, and in person, I was increasingly confused as to what was going on, what the plan was, where we were in the process, etc. I had to ask repeatedly for my monthly billing statement! My (almost ex's) attorney was walking all over us. I was not getting even a slightly clear explanation about the process. I'm a pretty smart girl, but in this I felt as stupid as a bag of hammers. The problem was that my money went in, months went by, and nothing came out. I felt unprotected, Sarah did not have my back. I was getting very scared. We had no children and neither of us were contesting the divorce, so things should not have been THAT complex. ( or maybe I am a bag of hammers) After about 6 months and $15,000. nothing was settled. After much discussion with others with friends and those who who had been through divorce, I decided to fire Ms. Stuart. You can fire your divorce lawyer but you will have to pay to get your new attorney up to speed. Also the judge may interested as to why the firing happened, so never do this lightly, but if you have a bad lawyer consider it! I called the Boston Bar association and got the name of another lawyer. He isn't my friend. He's my lawyer. I cannot explain why Ms. Stuart got such high marks by others. My new attorney made months of Sarah's work clear within a few hours. Folks, I was not taking stupid pills while I retained her, so something changed. My advice is this; you don't not have to LIKE your attorney but you do have to trust and respect them. Don't hire them on references alone, especially if the refs came from friends. You may not need what they needed. Do not go to this Firm. There are good lawyers out there. (No, I am not joking) Please take as much time as you can to find the one who will do the best job for you.
