- ★★★★★Outstanding Representation
Joseph · personal injury ·
I was a passenger in a very serious motor vehicle accident. My injuries, which were painful and permanent, left me unable to return to work as a police officer. The accident was not work related and left my family and I with staggering medical expenses and a very uncertain future. Counselor Rossi und erstood what we were going through, provided us with great legal advice and was readily available to answer the many questions we had. John is a highly skilled attorney and a truly compassionate advocate.
- ★★★★★All I wanted was justice
Steve · employment law ·
When a former employer reneged on my employment contract I hired John to make sure I got what I was owed. He negotiated on my behalf and I got everything I was entitled to. I would recommend John to anyone caught in a similar circumstance
- ★★★★★General Counsel
anonymous · business law ·
As an in-house corporate lawyer, I found Russell's approach to be refreshingly pragmatic and efficient. He was careful not to churn the file even with multiple associates involved, struck a good balance using aggressive litigation to steer the other party toward alternative dispute resolution, and i dentified and retained a terrific mediator. We ended up settling the case for an amount that was appropriate under the circumstances, while reasonably controlling our legal costs - a result that I could make my corporate colleagues feel good about (as opposed to their resenting outside counsel fees).
- ★★★★★International Arbitration
Jon · litigation ·
Mr. Fitch recently represented our company in a complex international arbitration case involving the unlawful termination of a license agreement by a listed USA corporation. This recently settled and included a multi-million dollar payment to us. We unreservedly recommend the services of Sally & F itch LLP, and especially Jonathan Fitch. Mr. Fitch was brought into the arbitration process after it had already commenced, and I would say we were in negative territory before his team joined in. As a client, we are highly opinionated individuals with considerable experience in our industry, who initially held all the in-depth knowledge of the case. We had already recruited other highly experienced top lawyers, located throughout the world, to work on other aspects of the case. One of the main challenges of this arbitration process was to manage and effectively harness the knowledge and expertise of both us as the client and our other global lawyers. We had previously experienced legal direction where the strategy seemed more for the lead lawyer to establish his top dog status with us than to focus on the best way to win the case. In contrast, Mr. Fitch managed our complex group remarkably well. Jonathan Fitch initially comes across as a quiet and considered individual. He listens, absorbs detail and opinions, and then makes convincing recommendations and decisions that get right to the heart of the issues. In proceedings, Jonathan is a completely different personality. It feels almost like you are watching Dr. Jekyll transform into Mr. Hyde. Before seeing him in action I had thought that all the best litigation lawyers were simply alpha pitbulls. In Jonathan Fitch, I saw all the key qualities we needed in one person without the other difficulties. For this arbitration Jonathan Fitch came up against top arbitration lawyers, this was a hard fought issue on both sides involving very material sums of money. Jonathan not only held his own, he walked all over the opposition. The result shows simply how good he is. Our final recommendation comes from our position as an international client. It is not always easy to understand different cultures and attitudes, and we do not fit the typical corporate mould. Sally & Fitch LLP were an excellent firm to work with. Sally & Fitch LLP worked very effectively within international time zones, making themselves available at times that suited the client needs, and were willing to travel for client meetings.
- ★★★★★Employment dispute
Ethan · employment law ·
This was an emplyment contract dispute. Mr. Fitch helped me get a resolution quickly and cost effectively. He was always there when I needed him
- ★★★★★Gordian Knot unloosen
Oleg · real estate ·
I and my wife bought an expensive apartment in Cambridge, MA. In a week we faced an eviction letter due to the elaborate fraud scheme mastered by developers, lawyers and realtors, who left us empty-handed. Because of the enormous complexity we could not find an adequate legal help for a month… at la st we were referenced to Atty. Jonathan W. Fitch of S&F LLP in Boston. Indeed, it became our final stop. He won for us two jury trials at the Middlesex Superior Court, and obtained verdicts against all four parties we sued: fraud, intentional misrepresentation, malpractice, etc; legal fees and doubled damages. In sum, our intractable case was cured thanks to Mr. Fitch’s unparallel integrity and professionalism. I would strongly recommend his service to anyone in a serous legal trouble, as ours, and I have no doubts and second thoughts in doing so.

I was sued by a vindictive vicious lunatic. Mr. Brody represented me aggressively, he cared for my feelings, and helped me through what was a veritable hell. You will be lucky if he accepts you as a client.

Ken was very good to work with.

Handled a complicated deposition (my first) and he got me prepared very well.
- ★★★★★An excellent working experience
Jeff · intellectual property ·
I worked with Ken while at my previous company, on a patent case. It was complicated, but bringing Ken up to speed on the issues involved and how the case came about was easily achieved. His command of understanding complex arrangements, combined with his experience, meant that he was just perfect fo r us. He's aggressive, without going too far, determined, very definitely takes his customers' interests to heart, vs just another case, and very, very capable, in his preparation, in depositions, and in front of a judge. You just know you're in good hands when Ken DeMoura is representing you, and that means an awful lot in such situations.
- ★★★★★A caring, ethical and brilliant lawyer who won't let you down!
Jody&Sean · business law ·
First Tom is a very talented attorney who can try marine law which is a specialty only a few attorneys have. He also does other law as well which made us happy because he is who we would go to if ever in a situation where we needed representation again. When you hire him to represent you, you feel as though you are his only case. He keeps you well informed and if he is unsure about an issue in a case he will go over it until he understands it from every perspective. He doesn't add on additional charges that aren't necessary and again tells you upfront what may cost money if it is needed. I never had to wait for a return call from his office, he was easily reached. I would honestly say that he truly cares about his clients, it isn't something easily faked. He is self assured, well connected and very good at his craft. I would recommend Attorney Bond to anyone who needed a lawyer regarding personal injury or cases like that. His fee was typical but his work ethics were exemplary. He came recommended from another great lawyer but he did not handle the type pf law we needed. He went above and beyond in every area and if prodding was needed it was him prodding us. His ethics are through and through and is a man who calls it as he sees it but is willing to take tough cases. I feel we were extremely lucky to have been led to Attorney Bond and we would not have been treated justly in the end if we hadn't found him. If you choose Attorney Bond you wont have a second thought.
- ★★★★★Highly professional attorney
Jodie · personal injury ·
Dealing with the loss of a loved one is difficult no matter the situation, but when it is sudden and tragic, it is unbearable. Soon after I lost my husband to a work-related accident, his cousin made a recommendation that put me in the very capable hands of Atty. Tom Bond. Tom proved to be a compassi onate ally who stood by me through a very painful process resulting in a settlement that will provide for me for the rest of my life. Atty. Bond met with me on numerous occasions in my home, sensitive to the fact that traveling to Boston would be a hardship. He put my family and my husband’s family at ease knowing that justice would be served. I don’t often write reviews but feel that I need to share my experience. If you’re looking for a personal injury lawyer who has integrity, I highly recommend the Kaplan/Bond Group.

- ★★★★★Truly a High Stakes Litigator
anonymous · business law ·
Attorney Slater is one of a kind. Thoughtful, communicates well, and is creative. He helped with a high stakes business litigation and put everything he had into the case and never ceased until the outcome was achieved. He will not get scared off from what appears to be an uphill battle and is always reassuring and provides a real assessment and recommendations.
- ★★★★★Awesome Attorney!
