This might be the weirdest Yelp review I've ever written. Because, really, it's kinda odd to review…read moreyour divorce lawyer. But here it goes. Yes. I had to get a divorce. It was kinda awful. At the time. Turns out it was the best thing ever, but when you get hit with a shit storm because you find out about insane soap opera like betrayals you kinda lose your shit. And you need someone to help you through it. Besides my friends and family, Arthur Sneider was that person for me. (Full disclosure: I also call Arthur my friend, I worked as an intern for him when I was a law student). And yes, even lawyers need divorce lawyers. I needed someone to tell me what to do. And when to do it. And tell me when I was being cray-cray. Arthur talked me off many a ledge. Something I do with my clients on a regular basis. But I was so out of it I couldn't see that I had turned into the crazy client I always talk about. Doh. But divorce, even when it's the best thing for everyone, is stressful. You have to divide shit and argue about who gets the fucking Playstation 3 (seriously, that happened) and you have to deal with the serious financial repercussions. And sometimes you don't have perspective. Arthur gave me perspective (but also let me try for crazy things like pet support- it didn't work, but he let me be a wee bit nutters). Anyway- I know from being both Arthur's client and employee that he is responsive, attentive, and will do his best for you. As an attorney you can never, ever guarantee results, but I trusted Arthur to do his best and give me the best advice available. The end result? I worked out an agreement with the ex-Husband, we had our hearing, I did a fist pump and happy dance as I was leaving the court room, and I'm free. I'm fucking free. And no amount of stars can express how happy I am about that.

I would like to recommend my lawyer Joseph Sherman as an attorney for family and divorce. My…read moresituation was complex because I was married in Israel where the Jewish laws rule and so I had to get divorce both through the Jewish Rabbinical laws as well as the civil laws. Going through a divorce was the hardest thing I ever had to deal with by myself. Joe was there for me at every step to support me with my legal questions, my emotional heart breaks, and with all matters of complex Jewish laws. We had to go to a state court and a Jewish Rabbinical court. I was scared that my ex-husband wasn't going to give me my religious Get (the religious divorce papers) which are more valuable for me as a Jew, than the civil divorce. The Jewish religious Get (divorce) allows me to get married again in the future in a Rabbinical court. Joe was able to help me through this process to get a civil and a religious divorce at same time. Joe let me from the beginning through our assets divisions and advised me what options I would have. By doing so, Joe saved me time and money and we ended this agonizing process within a few months. Joe made sure to explain to my mother from overseas complex things and calm us when we felt lost. Joe knows how to deal with complex situations in a calm manner that gave me an ease through out this process. Joe is a wonderful lawyer that will make you feel comfortable, he was accessible via email and phone on a weekly basis. He also had to deal with laws that are outside of the country and did everything within his power to give me the best advice. His emails to the other attorney where professional, precise, and to the point. My thoughts were written perfectly by him with my best interest in mind. If you live in the Boston area I would really recommend Joe and if you have any questions I'm happy to answer them.

Mediator was polite but either no experience dealing with narcissistic controlling individuals or…read moredid not care! Good couple's counselor if you need help with communication with your ex, but not a good mediator! Knowing my ex had an abusive past and police had been involved she'd still shut the door for "privacy" when she left or let him go on the entire duration of the mediation and take over the whole time so nothing got resolved when I urged for some firmness. Also felt pushed to agree to his many demands while mine were pushed in back burner. In the end it ended up being a lot more expensive because mediator let the time run and him take his time. She then submitted notes stating agreement to things I had not agreed to and making me feel guilty for not going back. You should use a lawyer instead! They are much better at this. Her background made this seem like couple's counseling which might be good if you are both sane caring individuals who need help with communication; not dealing with someone with past domestic violence and anger issues. She has not clue of the terrible legal ramifications of her notes and actions that now I have to deal with even after the mediation failed!

I reached out to Fields and Dennis to get information on Special Needs Planning/ documents and…read morelearn how they work. Aside from office staff being incredibly rude it seems Sheryl handles many areas of law and is not necessarily a "Special Needs" planner/ lawyer as she listed on the website and in her video. She seems nice enough in her video but when the office is so rude to potential clients that is a red flag. Its not 100% clear but it appears this is primarily a litigation firm that does estate planning on the side and then maybe?? has some interest in Special Needs? You can tell this from the fact they have an "intake" person - Kelly - who is quite condescending. Firms that take on cases have "intake" staff. This is not what one expects from an estate planning lawyer/office let alone one that claims to focus on Special Needs. This is particularly egregious as too many law firms and planners claim to handle Special Needs planning when really they just see as a slight variation on regular trusts - which is what causes issues for families down the road. They don't have the depth of knowledge or vested interest that TRUE Special Needs planners and lawyers have. Can only hope that eventually these type of law firms will catch on that having staff condescend to and treat potential clients rudely is not a winning formula.

Vicki Shemin and Jonathan Fields represented me for a simple divorce. It was a short-term marriage…read morewith no children. No discovery was done and we only appeared in Court twice, once for a motion hearing and again to present a full settlement agreement. The emergency motion was filed by my ex-husband and only necessary due to Attorney Shemim's advice for me to change the locks to our former marital home. This was an action I wouldn't have taken otherwise, ultimately escalated the amount of animosity in the case and the judge disapprovingly viewed as a form of self-help. Somehow this all amounted to attorney's fees exceeding $82,000, the last $19,000 or so I am being repeatedly hounded for while several requests to discuss my billing continue to be ignored. Their paralegal has an hourly rate comparable to what many firms charge for a mid-level associate, and over billed for simple administrative tasks (i.e. two hours to divide the numbers on my biweekly paycheck in half). This was not a high-net worth case, there were no unusual or extraordinary issues to be dealt with, and the total amount billed for a matter that was resolved in less than a year actually exceeded the amount I received as a settlement. I would have ended up in a better position financially if I didn't have counsel at all. I ended up negotiating the final terms of the settlement directly with my ex anyway. Perhaps this firm is great for those who are extremely wealthy where the total amount of legal fees is of no concern, but for anyone like myself, making a living as an RN, expect to pay top-notch prices while consistently being treated as a low-priority client. There are certainly better options out there.
