I recently had a case and needed the assistance and guidance of an excellent and experienced…read moreattorney. When I asked my fellow professionals who they liked, the name that was mentioned repeatedly was Kimberly Granatino and Associates in Norwell, Mass. So I did my research, set an appointment and had an outstanding meeting with her and her team. I've dealt with many attorneys over the last twenty-five years and I give Kimberly a total of FIVE stars because of her brilliance, excellent communication skills, experience, thorough understanding of the law and an explanation of my options in the matter I had. She is also excellent in court and that made a big difference in my view of her. She is truly excellent in every way! I have high standards when it comes to excellent customer service and professionalism. I found Kimberly Granatino to be a winner in every way! Neil Wood

The first time we went to court she made so many mistakes the judge started yelling at her. She was told by several people the judge would not hear any motions that day, so of course she tried 5 times to get the judge to hear her motion. That experience only made her want to bill me more for doing NOTHING! $35,000 later I hired a new attorney that navigated my divorce in an efficient and professional manner for a fair price.

I had a very disappointing experience dealing with Stephen Dodd in a family-law matter. As a father…read morerepresenting myself, I expected the proceedings to be focused on the facts and the best interests of the child. Instead, I experienced repeated personal attacks and allegations that I believe were unsupported by the evidence. I was also extremely concerned by the quality and accuracy of some of the filings. Documents were submitted that appeared to contain material copied from prior matters, including interrogatories that contained a completely different client's name. There was also an attempted filing of a notice to appear that, based on the court record and the dates involved, appeared inconsistent with statements made regarding whether Mr. Dodd was counsel of record at the relevant time. These are not minor issues when someone's family and relationship with their child are at stake. In my experience, the litigation became unnecessarily adversarial rather than focused on the underlying facts. I would strongly encourage anyone considering hiring an attorney in a family-law matter to carefully review their filings and the court record and make sure everything submitted on their behalf is accurate and specific to their case.

I only had several days warning to prepare for our first court date and I was at a loss. A friend referred me to the Law Office of Lee Darst. Attorney Alix Wilcox took my case (thankfully), and we had to get ready in a hurry. She was amazing from the start. Alix is extremely organized and methodical in her approach, and proved to be a very calming source for me while we were going through the process. Our case took a long time, but Alix was always reassuring,(she is excellent at putting things into proper perspective), and was truly my voice. In court, she was incredibly thorough and precise at recalling and presenting every detail of our case honestly and respectfully. Alix always updated me as soon as anything came up in our case and always returned my calls promptly. She is easy to work with, professional and caring. I would not hesitate to recommend Attorney Alix Wilcox.

I needed legal representation for my divorce and found David through a Vesta webinar and was very…read morehappy I had. David guided me through a 4 year divorce process with professionalism and compassion which was much needed and appreciated. David continued to follow up with me checking on how I was doing and extended thoughtful and more than reasonable services which without, I wouldn't have survived. His entire staff and partner were a major part in my case process and I can't speak highly enough about the genuine commitment they made to aiding me through this difficult process. No emotion was too much or discarded, genuine understanding along with realistic and rational advice when you're not exactly in the most rational state of mind-I'm thankful I put my trust in David and his team. Why not 5 stars-well because I didn't walk away with some pay day-not that it was expected or that I hold it against David and his team; I try to be as helpful as possible in posting reviews. David got me a fair settlement. Though I didn't leave a wealthy woman, I did leave the court house with a hug, a much needed hug from Mr. Kellem and you can't pay for that. The care shown over these years was worth it.

I had a…read moreconsultation with Heather prior to a hearing for an extension of a restraining order, and she was absolutely phenomenal. From the moment we spoke, Heather was calm, knowledgeable, and incredibly reassuring during what was a very stressful and emotional time. She walked me through exactly what to expect in court, helped me understand how to respond to questions, how to present my evidence clearly and confidently, and what language would be most effective. Her guidance gave me clarity and confidence which was exactly what I needed. What stood out most was how supportive and empowering she was -- not just legally sharp, but genuinely compassionate. I left the consult feeling prepared, grounded, and far less anxious.

So this "company" will bait and switch you. You call them they set you up with a person who does…read morethe psychological mind game. They listen to everything you have to whinge about your ex the money the children how it's not fair blah blah blah. They will tell you oh don't worry we'll make it all better. They tell you that you need to pay them this much to start. They'll set you up with an attorney. Then the next person that calls you is the person who handles money. She does all the billings and collections her starts with A. She will make sure you pay. She will not tell you that every month that you are a client with them. They will charge you with a maintenance fee for keeping the accounting.. And so when a month of service goes by they charge you and they start with the accruing of interest on your account and each time there is an interaction with your attorney. It starts a whole other cycle of interest accruing on your account. Not just for the total of the account the whole of the account, each separate line item each separate call starts an accruing interest on its own.They set you up with an attorney. They put me with a guy who was brand new to the firm. When I called and looked him up and tried to do my due diligence about him I called the previous law office He worked at and they declined to say anything about him leaving there. And I know why. Because he was the laziest attorney I ever had in my life. I have paid people thousands of dollars I've had four or five attorneys. This guy was the worst. He slept through alarms. He didn't show up to zoom meetings for the court. it was utterly embarrassing. He was late on our first meeting and just continued to be terrible. I would go to meet him to drop off files. I'll be sitting around waiting for 45 minutes to an hour. He was very likely sleeping in his apartment. He was the worst. His name also starts with A. He basically just did paperwork for me and settled things. When I had a contempt, he let the other party run all over me and would say, well if we take it to a trial, it's gonna cost you more money. No that's what I want. I want you to work for me. I want you to be tough. I don't want you having two hour conversations with the other parties attorney as your brothership of lawyers does. He's our enemy and that was very unclear to him for some reason. They are the enemy. Treat them as such. They do not. They're only out to line their pockets. That is the bottom line. I got nothing at all from this law firm, and the end I I ended the relationship. I said I do not need you any longer. And I owed them money , I don't know say like $6000 after I had paid them over $10,000. I was just done because I can fight my own battles for free. Because they weren't doing anything but filling in the blanks on pre-filled forms. I can have a judge tell me no without paying someone else to do it. And that's basically how it was with them. At the end with the balance of what I had every single line item from each email, conversation, monthly admin fee and each motion was accruing interest at a different rate so when you think you owe them 6000 within three days, it's a hundred more. By the time I settled this account with them I owed them about $7500. And $1500 was in interest. And I told them flat out I didn't have it all. They were going to take me to collections. I literally took out a personal loan. Because I couldn't even stand to deal with them any longer. It was like having a monkey on my back. Someone calling emailing being generally harassing. And then you see on social media, the firm owner on her boat, giving away gift certificates sending edible arrangements (which likely she owns ) basically promoting herself all over the place, but in truth her people do little more than take money from you and keep very close track of what you owe them for their fees. There she is looking like she's a good guy, Oooo! get a gift certificate! It's not worth it, Don't be fooled. So anyway, they knocked off most of the interest. But I do not suggest you get tied up with them at all. Because they have a person to collect, they have a person to to get you on board and They have a person who if you are having conflict with your attorney or you need resolution or someone to talk you down they have a person for that too. It's a nickel and dime scheme. Don't go with them. Find a long established, honest, accomplished, trustworthy and proven office and go with them. Everything I have said here is absolutely true. I don't even need to hear from this law firm. I don't need to hear that they did the best they could. I'm sorry it was time for me to finally say how awful I was treated and how terrible and lazy my attorney was. I did say it to them. And that's my word. Thank you for nothing.
