John · employment law ·
To challenge my employeer for not living up to the agreed upon commission rate was difficult for me. Adam made me feel very comfortable and was able to get his head around my situation which was confusing, very quickly. I always felt Adam negotiated very well on my behalf. The outcome of the deman d letter proves this, I was exremely pleased. He kept me informed of each step and gave me good advice as what to accept and what to decline. a very uncomfortable experience became very tolorable and financial beneficial one. I strongly recommond Adam Shafran as a very good attorney.
- ★★★★★He was very knowledgeable and resolved my problem successfully.
SK · employment law ·
I consulted and hired Mr. Shafran to resolve the problem I had with my employer and he was extremely helpful. As my problem was complicated, I consulted with six different lawyers, three of which were online legal help lawyers, and three were local Boston employment lawyers. Online lawyers were not r eally helpful because they only provided a generic answer without listening to the details of my situation, and they were not experienced. Among three local Boston lawyers I consulted, Mr. Shafran was the most knowledgeable and most responsive and quick (gave me his phone number), and the problem was actually resolved in a way that he predicted. His fee was reasonable too. So I was really satisfied and would definitely consult with him again. I would recommend him for anyone who has employment legal problems.

Steve D. · employment law ·
Adam is an excellent lawyer. I had trouble with my car one weekend and called my boss Sunday night and told him that I would not be in on Monday. On the previous Wednesday he had told me that we only had a few days left before getting layed-off for the winter because the town we were working in want ed us off of the road before we got any bad weather. I then called him all week and left several messages without a call back so I opened my unemployment claim. Two weeks later I got a letter that said I was disqualified because my boss told them that I never showed back up to work and he never heard from me againand that I had quit . Adam had me fax my phone records to The Dept. Of Unemployment to show all the calls I made to my boss and I was finally granted all of my checks in one lump sum after 3 months of waiting. He is very knowledgeable and trustworthy and will always give you the best advise and would always return my calls within 1 day . Thanks Adam

Ms. Cusack is a very straightforward and dedicated attorney. When I met her she told me from the start what she planned to do, as far as advocating for a motion to suppress(and she was very honest with me and told me she couldn’t make any promises or guarantees, but also that she was very confident a nd would do her best), and she did just that, she filed for the motion after diligently getting all of the discovery, and we were granted the motion, which in turn, got my case dismissed.

Richard A · criminal defense ·
Kelly was a intelligent fighter in my case. She had the court officers ask me who is this because she kept the ada off balance stumbling in the court, the funny part about it he was an old veteran type who came in pompous and was knocked of his pedestal by this scrapper from Boston. I would add very sharp legal mind persistent some one you want in your corner if your fighting for your freedom Kelly Cusack is your Lawyer.
- ★★★★★Kelly Cusack is the BEST!

Sh e is honest and hard working. She takes great care in her work and her clients. If you are looking for the right lawyer, look no further because Kelly is one of the best!
- ★★★★★Highly dedicated Attorney
Fenwick ·
Attorney Cusack always provided excellent legal advice from day one but more importantly than that she listens to what you have to say instead of dismissing it like others do. She never gave up no matter how dismal the situation seemed to me and in the end she was proven right. Everything worked out excellently because of her. She always comes prepared and ready for whatever may be thrown at her. Thank you attorney Cusack.
- ★★★★★Great Attention
Mitch · criminal defense ·
She has a great grasped on mental health issues and is so respected by the Suffolk County courts and detention centers. In two minutes of a phone call to her she had the entire issue diagnosed and carried resolution to the end in six weeks. Everything she explained to us happened in the time frame s he layed-out.

Reza Breakstone, of Breakstone, White & Gluck, P.C. was a fantastic lawyer to work with. He was supportive, well-informed, compassionate and went above-and-beyond to get me a great settlement. Best of all, throughout the process, Mr. Breakstone would contact me to update me on how everything was goin g, so I felt consistently in-the-loop on what was happening and felt comfortable sharing my opinion with Mr. Breakstone and knowing he would do whatever he could to help me get fair compensation. No one ever wants to need a personal injury lawyer, but when I was in a car accident that left me with a back injury, Reza's experience and demeanor made the entire experience as painless as possible! I would highly recommend him and his firm!

Jacob · personal injury ·
This was my first experience needing to hire an attorney, and I could not be more grateful it was with Reza Breakstone. He was incredibly knowledgable and patiently walked me through the whole process. I was involved in an accident on my bicycle, and the circumstances of the event made my case a long shot at best. Knowing that, Reza Breakstone still did everything he could to get me the best possible outcome. Despite the slim odds, he still got me a more-than-fair settlement that covered my accident-related expenses. I highly recommend reaching out to Reza for legal assistance, even if you’re unsure an attorney is what you need. I am very glad I did.
- ★★★★★Professional Services

My family had an accident (hit from the back while standing on a red signal) with kids on board. This was a shocking moment but fortunately, kids remained safe but my wife has some injuries. We are very pleased by the services provided by Reza Breakstone to represent us and reach a settlement along w ith all our medical bills got covered. They are professional and represents their clients well. We strongly recommend their services.
- ★★★★★Amazing, Personable, and Effective Lawyer
Christian ·
From the first day I spoke to Reza, I knew that he was different than any of the other attorneys I had been considering taking on my case. He does a great job and making you feel that no matter what the severity of your case may be, there is a sense of urgency and attentiveness that cannot be found e lsewhere. I would recommend Reza to anyone else in a heartbeat and can say without a doubt you'd be doing yourself a disservice by not choosing him to represent you.
- ★★★★★Great legal consult in a car-pedestrian accident
Leonardo · personal injury ·
For the past four and a half years, I worked with Mr. Reza Breakstone to obtain compensation for a car accident I was involved in as a pedestrian. I reached out to him soon after the accident, and he immediately got to work. We had several meetings where we discussed the accident, the legal process, and what I needed to do. He was always compassionate and determined to provide me with the best legal support. Soon after the accident, we started collecting all the necessary documents, and we did the depositions. Throughout the process, Mr. Breakstone would contact me to update me on how everything was moving. As we prepared to finalize the case, COVID hit, and everything had to be postponed by two years. Throughout this time, Mr. Breakstone tried to settle the case, always kept me in the loop, and my opinion mattered. Even when the case was settled, Mr. Breakstone kept pushing to ensure I would get the most compensation possible. It took us over four years to close the topic, but I was delighted with how I was treated by Breakstone, White & Gluck, P.C., and by Reza Breakstone Negli ultimi quattro anni e mezzo ho lavorato con il signor Reza Breakstone per ottenere un risarcimento per un incidente automobilistico in cui sono stato coinvolto come pedone. Lo ho contattato subito dopo l'incidente e si è subito messo al lavoro. Abbiamo avuto diversi incontri in cui abbiamo discusso dell'incidente, del processo legale e di cosa dovessi fare. È sempre stato compassionevole e determinato a fornirmi il miglior supporto legale. Subito dopo l'incidente, abbiamo iniziato a raccogliere tutti i documenti necessari e abbiamo fatto le deposizioni. Durante tutto il processo, Mr. Breakstone mi ha contattato per aggiornarmi su come si stava muovendo tutto. Mentre ci preparavamo a finalizzare il caso, è arrivato il COVID e tutto è stato rinviato di due anni. Per tutto questo tempo, il signor Breakstone ha cercato di risolvere il caso, mi ha sempre tenuto al corrente e la mia opinione contava. Anche quando il caso è stato risolto, il signor Breakstone ha continuato a insistere per assicurarsi che ottenessi il maggior risarcimento possibile. Ci sono voluti più di quattro anni per chiudere l'argomento, ma sono stato felicissimo di come sono stato trattato da Breakstone, White & Gluck, P.C. e da Reza Breakstone

Mr. Michael Bace is the best. Very professional. He can make things done effectively and in short period of time. He is always in control of the case. He made me feel like very important client. I'm really happy to have Michael on my side. Mr. Bace just moved my case forward and it was a Victory very soon. I do really impressed. Thank you very much!

Joanne and John · real estate ·
We called Mr. Bace to get a consultation on the legal proceedings, and the myriad of legal work being done by our own lawyer, which was growing to be to be very stressful and confusing, after our long time home was painfully auctioned off. Mr. Bace answered my call, asking thoughtful questions, wit h compassion and integrity. We simply needed a second pair of eyes to review the legal work being done with our own lawyer as these cases get very confusing and stressful. Michael used his own time along with Mr.Kulick, together clarifying respectfully our own legal matter, reading diligently our emails and many questions. Michael is a lawyer with strong integrity, truly caring about individuals, going the extra mile to demonstrate his passion for truth and justice. I highly recommend Michael! John and Joanne

- ★★★★★Immediate attention
anonymous · employment law ·
I called Mr. Bace, he answered on the second ring and immediately had time for my question. I had a concern about an employment separation and explained my situation in depth. Mr. Bace took the time to listen and to explain the situation was not actionable and the reasons why. He also outlined some follow up questions I should ask my employer, that I did not consider, and he offered to be available in future if my situation changed. He was very easy to speak with and thorough with his explanations.
- ★★★★★Marc Breakstone Came Through For Me!
Melissa · personal injury ·
I hired Marc after another lawyer wasn't really spending the time or attention to my case that I felt comfortable with. When I spoke to Marc the very first time on the phone, I thought, "This guy is tough and attentive!" From our first conversation until the successful outcome of my mediations and settlement, I could not have asked for better, more thorough, and tough representation. I read a review on this very site and that lead me to Marc Breakstone. The positive things people say are right on the money. He told me to focus on my healing and health and leave the lawyering to him. I needed that assurance because I had 5 surgeries in just over a year, and was dealing with disability for the first time and I was in an enormous amount of pain. His strength allowed me to let it go and focus on my health. The case was settled in mediation and it was a very positive outcome. Thank you Marc, Christine Roberts and Reza Breakstone. I am forever grateful for your hard work, expertise and dedication. I would recommend you to anyone that needed representation after an injury and facing big insurance. You gave a voice and a face to my case and you made them look at the facts. Grateful.

Marc Breakstone rescued my wife’s case. After she fell down freshly painted stairs, we hired a lawyer who advertised in the local newspaper. That lawyer mishandled the case almost 3 years. He told us we had to accept an offer that was just slightly higher than the amount of her medical bills. Fo rtunately, a friend suggested I give Marc Breakstone a call. Marc met with us and was reluctant to get involved. He told us that he felt an obligation to help out and accepted the case. Marc jumped into action and filed suit against the landlord. He aggressively pursue the case taking depositions of every witness including the police officer who responded to the 911 call. Unlike the first lawyer, March handle the case with the highest level of skill and professionalism. He also guided my wife and her medical care and treatment to ensure that she received the best possible outcome. He kept us informed of every important development in the case. As a result of his superb work, the case was settled, prior to trial at mediation. We had the opportunity to see his impressive interactive digital presentation at the mediation. Everyone in the room was persuaded by the power of his presentation. Even the mediator commented several times how effective it was. The case settled for an amount many times greater than the first offer. We feel like we received the best possible representation. Dealing with Marc’s staff, including Christine Roberts, his secretary and Reza Breakstone, his associate, was a pleasure from start to finish. This is truly one of the finest law firms I've had the pleasure to work with. We feel blessed that Marc took our case. He is a tenacious fighter does not accept the penny less than full and fair compensation. Thank you Mr. Breakstone.
- ★★★★★Marc Breakstone - Outstanding Lawyer
Sue · personal injury ·
Marc Breakstone exceed every expectation I had when choosing the right attorney to represent my dad. I selected him based on a friend’s recommendation. After reading his client reviews, I felt he would be the right lawyer for the case. My family and I are extremely grateful with the outcome of a M edical Malpractice claim he settled through mediation. It was obvious that Marc did his research and was well prepared, with full knowledge of the inadequate care given to my dad by a local hospital. With his interactive digital presentation at mediation, it took no time to persuade the mediator to advocate for our side. Marc showed full respect and beyond compassion for my family from day one. I felt as though we were his only client. He returned phone calls, emails, or text messages almost immediately, at all hours of the day or night, including weekends. My dad’s case was a difficult case that could have possibly been dragged out for years, however Marc was able to get it done without going to trial. I have the upmost respect for Marc and would highly recommend him without any hesitation.
- ★★★★★Marc Breakstone really is more than just a lawyer
anonymous · personal injury ·
Marc Breakstone provided more comfort and a peace of mind than I could have ever imagined. A little over a year ago, I was in a very serious taxi accident as a passenger- and almost 5 months pregnant. I was petrified for the health of my baby. I was completely overwhelmed with having to undergo a spinal fusion because my back was broken over several L sections. And I had an 11 month old at home that I could no longer take care of on my own. We had literally just bought a house 5 months before, and that accident literally caused my family's world to crumble. And if you are in a similar boat, you can relate- I have never felt so helpless and depressed, I needed to find a lawyer ASAP that I could trust with the well being and future security of my family. I was literally boggled of where to begin, as I have never been involved in a law suit before. And insurance contracts/ lingo/ etc was just so foreign to me. I found 4 lawyers total that I read reviews on from the internet OR was recommended by family friends. I found Marc on some Google search- and that made me a tad nervous because I am a little more "old school" than that. However, I called his office and after speaking to him directly ( which was literally about 5 min after I called, he returned my message )....I instantly felt at ease with him. There is something about his personality that is very direct, yet patient with explaining options/ the law/ advice. Marc was also willing to talk to my husband and a family friend who has legal background from another state trying to help me. So, I conservatively met with him and 3 other lawyers in person, and Marc was the only one I felt was both "down to earth" and at the same time extremely aggressive/passionate when it came to ensuring that my claim was heard properly by the parties concerned. We chose Marc to represent me, and I am SO HAPPY we did. Let me tell you this- If you want somebody that is approachable- choose Marc. If you want someone who will fight for you like he has known you for your whole life, choose Marc. And if you understand that you need someone who is that bit aggressive/confident in making his point, on your behalf, choose Marc. My husband felt that Marc would be a "lion in the ring " for us. Also, I want to add that I live in NYC...I was hit in MA during a weekend away. So I was nervous having the distance away from someone who is representing me. If by chance that is you- dont worry about it. Marc is literally so accessible. I also dont feel like I could write this review without mentioning- Christine Roberts. Marc's executive assistant is a rock star. She reflects his standards of extreme professionalism with a streak of warmth. I could keep writing about all the positive experiences I had along the way with Marc, but I will sum it up this way. A very hormonal pregnant woman, with a baby at home, was hit by a taxi and had to undergo a 7 hour spinal fusion surgery, learn how to walk again, and deal with the pain of the accident/surgery thoughout her pregnancy while accepting the fact she could no longer lift her one year old at home, bathe him, clean up after him etc. ** I am writing this review about one year from the accident and post settlement. I am still so incredibly emotional about that night and everything that happened....But I am still a bit proud that during this complete disaster and at times, what I honestly thought was depression and a breakdown mentally, I was still able to see that Marc would fight for me. And he did. And he will for you. He is just so passionate about his job...and you will come to see glimpses of his personal life that you know this is just a good guy. I look at my daughter now and I thank god for my neuro team, my OB team, and my lawyer. While my doctors really provided such wonderful physical care...Marc was really there as a rock- I let put all my anxiety on his shoulders and he delivered back a secure future. He will forever be part of our family story now.

anonymous · personal injury ·
Marc was there for my family in the darkest time in our life. Tragedy struck our family suddenly after a minor hospital procedure ended in the loss of my husband's life. Marc came highly recommended by a colleague and now I know why. From the very beginning the advice he gave me was instrumental in t he successful outcome. His knowledge and experience was clear to me through the whole process. He took the time to see the picture of our family before our loss and after. A life like my husbands can never be replaced ...thank you Marc Breakstone for being the fighter our family needed!

Qalid · litigation ·
Ben Duggan's work is amazing. He is very hard working, and represented me with confidence and poise. His directions were very straight forward, and he was very communicative. I learned from my experience with Mr. Duggan. I was very worried about the hearing at first, however just after a few calls I knew I was in the right hands. I would recommend Ben Duggan to anyone who needs to hire a lawyer.
- ★★★★★Ben is an amazing attorney!
Tom · employment law ·
If you are looking for a knowledgeable, professional, and responsive attorney I recommend Ben Duggan. He helped me navigate a "David vs. Goliath" labor dispute -- alas I was "David". Ben provided expert counsel and education. He listened and helped me understand different options I could pursue. Leveraging his experience he deftly worked with me to properly set my expectations. He made it easy to understand what "Goliath" could and could not do. Ben's responsiveness was amazing; it seemed like he was on call. I reached out to him for guidance at random times on different days. If he was available he picked up the phone. If he was not available, I received a call back right away. I highly recommend Ben -- he's an amazing attorney!

Matthew · criminal defense ·
When I first contacted Mr. Duggan, I was very distraught and worried because this was the first time in my life (I'm 31 years old) that I had a criminal case brought against me. I'll spare you the details, but needless to say it was a crime we both felt positive would be a good candidate for Pre Tria l Probation. I had no record and from all I read outside of Mr. Duggan's advice, this was the most probable outcome. Fast forward 2 years later, and the case is finally resolved. Why is that? Politics. But Mr. Duggan never waivered. A case that shouldve been resolved in a matter of weeks, was unfortunately taken all the way to the day before a scheduled trial. Because of Mr. Duggan and his uncanny ability to get himself in front of the right people, I was able to resolve the case on the day trial was supposed to start. At no point in the two years did Attorney Duggan give up, or slack off. It was always clear he was giving 100% at all times. If you want a no nonsense lawyer who will never mislead you in any way. Ben is your guy. He is incredible intelligent and knows his way around the Boston Court System. Please take my words seriously because hiring a top notch attorney can be daunting, but look NO FURTHER, this guy will get you the best possible scenerio, no matter what. Thanks Ben!!
