- ★★★★★Smart, organized and caring
Megan · family law ·
Holly helped me navigate a difficult time in my life during my divorce. I appreciated her knowledge but also how she handled my expectations and emotions.
- ★★★★★Smart Hire
anonymous · family law ·
Holly is extremely professional, personable and reasonable. Throughout my complicated divorce, she took the time to help me understand the legal system and my options. She spent time learning the family dynamics, identifying the facts the judge needs know, and helping me keep my focus on my desired outcome. Holly showed amazing grace, compassion and kindness as she navigated me through a heartbreaking time in my life. You are in good hands with Holly.
- ★★★★★Practical and creative counsel
anonymous · family law ·
Holly took in the unique challenge of a dependent spouse in my pending divorce and shared practical and creative counsel.
- ★★★★★World-Class Lawyer
anonymous · family law ·
Holly took on my complex international divorce case with a non-cooperative and evasive ex. I was discouraged by the daunting obstacles ahead of us, but Holly is a warrior. With her brilliant legal mind and all-in commitment to fighting for my best interests, Holly not only found a way to bring the other party to the negotiating table and obtain a settlement beyond what I could have imagined, she also managed to earn the (grudging) respect of the opposing side. I believe they came to realize the caliber of attorney they were dealing with, someone they couldn't play and outmaneuver, and someone with integrity and an unimpeachable character, no less. I believe Holly's formidable reputation among her peers gave us a critical edge in the negotiations. Holly is the lawyer you want on your side, someone who is highly regarded in the legal community, who has clerked with judges, knows them, and understands from vast experience the intricacies of the court system and can quickly navigate through it. With her incredible attention to detail, she will leave no stone unturned in researching and unearthing every angle that can work to the client's benefit; she did it for me. I am fortunate that out of the many fine attorneys in Massachusetts, it was Holly Hinte whom I was able to secure as my counsel.
- ★★★★★Excellent family law attorney
anonymous · litigation ·
I was very lucky to work with Holly. She is a talented, hard working attorney - with strong understanding of the laws - and treats clients with compassion and understanding. She keeps the bigger picture in mind, rather than getting bogged down by distractions and bad behaviors on the opposing side, a nd conducts herself at all times with professionalism and grace. She has an unbelievable attention to detail (and even more unbelievable ability for recall) and I felt like she always had my best interests in mind.
- ★★★★★Outstanding Representation

Bob Rivers is a brilliant, hard working, savvy and compassionate attorney who has tremendous expertise in Family Law. My case was financially complicated and Bob worked hard to enforce my rights. He was relentless in pursuing every avenue available for getting me the best possible outcome. Bob kno ws when and whom to enlist in outside help when necessary, as in my case, an equally talented forensic accountant. He was always prompt and available when I needed to speak with him. Witnessing Bob's keen mind navigate the very dense and tangled components of my case with tremendous acumen and agility was the silver lining of the horrific ordeal of divorce. He's a valuable asset to his profession!
- ★★★★★Only reason I got divorced.
anonymous ·
Bob and his team, including Holly Hinte are just amazing. They are to the point. I initially heard he was aggressive and ended up in his office to create a conflict. After additional 5 lawyer interviews and one disaster retainer I returned to him. He s just very knowleable, won t overcharge (he is ex pensive, don t get me wrong) but best spent money. He and his team are ultra efficient. Plus they actually care. Can t say good enough to things about them.
- ★★★★★Highly Reccomend

I was facing a highly contencious divorce and needed someone who not only was compassionate, but more importantly knowledgeable. Bob's excellent character, work ethic, focus, and overall legal abilit ies are outstanding! If your looking to retain one of the best and well respected attorneys in Boston, I highly recommend Bob Rivers. Terrific trial attorney as well.

Ab · family law ·
Robert J. Rivers , Jr. - Lee & Rivers LLP Attorney Rivers – Excellent service and excellent attorney. His strength domains include: • Communication ability: brilliant • Responsiveness: outstanding • Quality of service: brilliant • Value for money: excellent I hired Lee & Rivers LLP while I was going through my divorce in 2012. Since the beginning of my case, Attorney Rivers had the knowledge and patience for all my calls and visits to his office. His lawyer's service and relationship skills were above my expectations and beyond what was described to me by a friend of mine. He was exactly what I wanted: knowledgeable, well connected, fierce and effective. Initially, he reviewed my case and guided me throughout the process. Attorney Rivers and his office staff were incredibly knowledgeable and accommodating! They were very prompt in all correspondence and kept us informed every step of the way. Made our family feel very valued, respected and represented at their fullest capability! I can't say enough positive things. From the very first meeting they helped me with a difficult situation. I would recommend Robert J. Rivers, Jr. from Lee & Rivers LLP to anyone needing help with a problem in the scope of family law litigation.
- ★★★★★Exceptional Attorney

Bob Rivers came highly recommended from a work friend so when I was served custody modification papers last September, I knew who to call. Bob has not disappointed. He is highly professional, ethical and extremely knowledgable in family law. I can't imagine going through this stressful ordeal with out him. At our first meeting, Bob listened to my story and asked pertinent questions to learn what was important to me. For me, my teenagers and their best interest were what was important. Bob assured me that he and his legal team would work hard for what was fair and right and most importantly he would work hard to help me protect my children. His communication skills are beyond compare, not only does he explain complex legal issues to me in language I can understand, he skillfully writes legal documents and adeptly communicates our points in front of the judge. Having Bob next to me in court is such a relief because he works extremely hard, prepares very well and delivers our arguments with expert skill and confidence. For Bob, the bottom line is helping me achieve the best settlement for me and for my kids best interests. He is open to recommending mediation or a settlement if that would work instead of a costly trial. Bob has tried to keep my costs down when he can as he knows how financially hard legal battles can be. Bob thinks about his clients first. I am still in the midst of my case, but I am so happy to have Bob Rivers as my attorney. I trust Bob Rivers immensely and I would highly recommend him if you ever need a family lawyer.
- ★★★★★Practical & realistic
josh · litigation ·
Steve efficiently and effectively converted conceptual sticking points into practical dollar implications in a way that made decision making significantly easier. While opposing council was taking an approach to generate legal fees and hassle, Steve pointed out where arguments would be more expensiv e in fees than I might recover so we could just move on. By helping to frame the boundaries and not get caught up in minutae, and by minimizing drama, it was easier to get to a deal.
- ★★★★★Experienced divorce attorney for high net worth individuals
anonymous · family law ·
I hired Steve as I had gotten a referral that he was the best for divorce cases involving complex compensation and high net worth individuals, with alimony and custody issues at stake. Steve has exactly the approach I was looking for. He's clearly not motivated by increasing his billable hours, he si mply wants to steer you towards the best and most efficient outcome for your divorce. He understood the issues quickly, was very adept at advising me on what my best options were, and was realistic about when to compromise vs when to hold my ground. Divorce is a terrible experience to live through for most anyone, but I am very happy I chose Steve to guide me through the mediation and legal process. Steve has also been readily available and responsible post-divorce, as any misc issues or questions with my ex have arisen.
- ★★★★★Highly Recommended
anonymous · family law ·
I came to Steve at a very troubled time. My then wife had hired an aggressive attorney and had filed for full custody of my child. Steve was able to strategically take apart their fabricated case and got me joint custody. I am extremely grateful to him and his team. I have already recommended him to an acquaintance and would highly recommend him to anyone going through a divorce.
- ★★★★★Great legal counsel.

Steve Gurdin represented me in a complaint for modification of alimony under the durational limits of the Alimony Reform Act. My ex spouse hired an aggressive firm which seemed bent on taking the case to trial. Due to Steve's thorough preparation, we were able to convince the other side to settle out of court, saving a lot of time, money and anguish. Steve was very professional throughout the proceedings, and was a pleasure to work with. I recommend him without reservation.
- ★★★★★Excellent Quality and Service
anonymous · family law ·
Steve was a real pleasure to work with. He was recommended to me by someone who also used his services. He came to the table with years of experience that helped me understand the unfamiliar and complicated process of family law which set me at ease from our first meeting. Steve was very organized and prepared in all of my dealings with him. I had a drawn out case over the course of 18 months, yet Steve stayed in touch and up to date on my case the entire time. I would highly recommend Steve to anyone looking for a highly intelligent and effective lawyer to represent them in a case in Family and Probate court. Steve was fair, helpful, easy to talk to, and easy to contact. I can't say enough good things about him, give him a call you won't regret it.
