- ★★★★★Very dissatisfied
Robert · family law ·
Talked the talk but couldn’t walk the walk. Very intimidated by basically a real estate lawyer. It cost me a ton of $$ to get nothing. No fight at all. Backed down when confronted by a man is the only way I can say it. Denby is only in the game to make money. She didn’t fight for my sons rights and h opefully this review will piss her off enough to explain to me why I spent 30k to go backwards in the fight to see my grandchildren. She gives “divorce lawyers” a bad name. Totally useless until it comes time to pay up. I can’t believe she got beat up so bad by a very unscrupulous low life lawyer. Before calling her …. run Forrest run.
- ★★★★★Glad she was by my side! Custody and Divorce

From the day I consulted with Gabrielle to our many days in court including trial ,Gabrielle has stood by my side and put me at ease.. She is extremely knowledgeable, reasonable and fights for what is fair! I would highly recommend Gabrielle to anyone!!
- ★★★★★Great attorney/ office
Jeanne ·
This is a 5 stars attorney, Always let you know of your options, answer your emails requests in a short time an protected her client. I hardly recommend her and her office. Thank you for your great help, you were great.
- ★★★★★I would love to say you get what you pay for, but that is not true.

Wasted money more than $50k, no results had to switch to another attorney to handle my case. During conciliation she had nothing to say, tried to get me to agree to the worse possible deal, the tradeoff, I was free to work as much as I wanted, and the figure would not go up. That's not what any fath er wants, he wants his children in his life, not more work.
- ★★★★★Highly Recommended Divorce Advocate
anonymous · family law ·
Divorce can require people to fight for a fair result even when fighting is not in their nature. When children are involved it can require parents to compromise and work together, just as they've decided that they can't and never will be able to agree. Gabrielle was both a forceful advocate and a thoughtful negotiating partner. She pushed me when it was required, and pulled back when the situation required tact, always keeping the big picture in mind. A litigator should have an innate desire to win. Heading into my divorce I interviewed several who had that desire. What most lacked was interest in MY definition of winning. Gabrielle fought for my goals as if they were hers, and got the win I needed. Truly grateful for her professionalism and partnership.
- ★★★★★Brian Jerome is the perfect choice for ADR services
Eric · litigation ·
As someone who has mediated hundreds of cases over the past 25 years, I can honestly state, without any hesitation, that Brian Jerome is among the best of the best. Brian provides both sides of every dispute with a comfortable and unpressured environment within which to resolve their disputes. He ha s a wonderful mediation style that has been successful in resolving a wide range of complex cases submitted by our firm over the past 20 years.
- ★★★★★Best Mediator in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts
anonymous · litigation ·
Brian Jerome is the first attorney who comes to mind for me when choosing a mediator. He has settled every case that he has mediated for me. He has a excellent demeanor and clients always feel comfortable with him. He works hard to get the case settled.
- ★★★★★Wonderful to work with, very fair, definite expert in his field.
anonymous · litigation ·
Attorney Jerome was the arbitrator for my recent case. I was nervous about the hearing, but he put me at ease immediately - what a nice guy! During the arbitration, he was an attentive listener and very precise with his questioning and gave me the confidence to tell my story. Both lawyers seemed to enjoy working with him, and the award he gave on my case was fair to everyone. I would recommend Brian Jerome to anyone seeking a great arbitrator.
- ★★★★★If you have a complexity case, Jeff is the one I will highly recommended.
Yin · family law ·
I had an attorney working on my case for a year before Jeff takes over. When I first time met Jeff, my case was in a devastating situation, because there were many potential problems, that were not address correctly, in the agreement and I was chased by the ex-husband attorney for unreasonable fees. Jeff spend extra time to review the supporting evidence in details and quickly put an action plan together. Within a month he had the ex-husband attorney to agree waiving whatever the fees before. His negotiation skill is beyond excellence. Meanwhile he was helping and educating me how this divorce negotiation works. Working with he, he took off a lot the stress from my shoulder, I started to be able put myself together, so I could think clearly what kind life I want in the future. He defiantly knows the court system, paper works, your rights and what the law says very well. He helps me to think what I can give up to exchange for things that are more important to me. I am very thankful to settle the case without a trail. I was able to retained most of what I wanted out of the divorce and came to a reasonable asset division, parenting agreement and child custody. Jeff is compassionate, honest, well-experienced and highly skilled. If you have a complexity case, Jeff is the one I will highly recommended.
- ★★★★★Review of Jeffrey A. Soilson
Michelina · litigation ·
I work for a law firm and communicate directly with clients every day. I know what clients expect, and I know what it takes to provide the kind of service that maintains client relationships over decades. As a client of Jeffrey A. Soilson and Barbara L. Drury of Fitch Law Partners, LLP, I felt my r epresentation exceeded my expectations. I was kept well informed of the progress of my case. My questions were answered promptly and fully, and any concerns I raised were similarly addressed. My case was handled efficiently, and brought to a very satisfactory conclusion.
- ★★★★★Exceptional
anonymous · family law ·
I spoke with Jeff about several issues exploring my options and he was knowledgeable and patient. I could not have been more impressed. If I need a family attorney in the future I would not hesitate in hiring Jeff.
- ★★★★★One of the Best Lawyers
Christopher ·
Our first meeting with Jeffrey was very nice. we was nervous, but he made us feel comfortable. Even though we did not hired him, He explained everything to us, walking us through it step by step what we could do, and it was very helpful! When you find a lawyer that really care for people, That"s Ever ything!
- ★★★★★Remarkable attorney and upstanding human being
anonymous · family law ·
Dear Jeff, I will be eternally grateful for all that you have done for my children and me during my divorce. You are undoubtedly the best divorce attorney for so many reasons… In addition to always providing intelligent and thoughtful legal advice, you have also given me invaluable advice on how to cope with the emotional aspects of divorce. You were always strategic; knew exactly when and how to go to battle, and also how to keep things calm. I am proud to have had such a sharp legal mind, caring soul and class act in my corner. Additionally, you have such a deep understanding of best co-parenting practices and your continued focus on doing what is best for the children has been invaluable. I know that I am a better co-parent as a result of your sensible advice. While many might wonder why someone would choose to be a divorce attorney, I think that you are doing exactly what you are meant to do in this world – help people. You help people get out of bad marriages and in those difficult times, you were “life support”. And today, you’ve helped me create a life that I have been dreaming of for such a long time. You have made sure I have the best “post-divorce” support team (accountants, financial planners, the list goes on and on…) and as a result, the children and I have financial security, a new house that is becoming a home, and most importantly, a life that is finally peaceful. To all out there: Yes, the 5-star reviews are the real deal, and yes, the legal fees are high, but you are getting your money's worth and much more with Jeff. Hiring him was the best decision I have made during my divorce process.
- ★★★★★Relatable, Easy to Talk to and Compassionate
William ·
Attorney Kevin Seaver is relatable and easy to talk to, shows compassion for others and is passionate about the work he does.
- ★★★★★Kevin Seaver is outstanding. Unparalleled in DCF matters.
Nina · family law ·
Attorney Kevin Seaver is highly knowledgeable and effective in DCF-related matters. I retained him previously, and his involvement resulted in a swift resolution during the assessment phase. More recently, I contacted him again during a time-sensitive situation. He responded immediately, provided clear direction, and intervened effectively. His experience and familiarity with DCF procedures are evident and impactful. I strongly recommend Attorney Seaver to anyone in need of representation in this area.
- ★★★★★Best and most compassionate attorney and team
Nate · family law ·
If I could give Attorney Seaver more than 5 stars, I absolutely would. My wife and I recently had to use his services again after a false and ridiculous report was filed against us while we were on vacation with our children. What was supposed to be a relaxing family trip was instantly turned upside down when we received a call from DCF on our second day there. Our nerves were on edge, and the trip felt ruined. One phone call to Attorney Seaver changed everything. The second we heard his voice, we immediately felt calmer. He reassured us that the allegations were baseless and that we would be in good hands. From that moment forward, he stood by us every step of the way, guiding us through an incredibly stressful situation with professionalism, compassion, and confidence. What truly speaks volumes about Attorney Seaver’s character is that both he and Lisa traveled all the way from Boston to help our family and support us through this nightmare. They spent nearly three hours with our family, speaking directly with the social worker and helping us navigate the entire situation in real time. Despite the traffic and the long drive home, they did not get back to Boston until almost 8 PM that night, and not once did they make us feel rushed or like an inconvenience. That level of dedication and compassion meant the world to our family during one of the hardest moments we have faced. They treated us like people, not just another case file. You can tell they genuinely care about protecting families and doing what is right. Today, 6 May 2026, our case was officially closed, exactly as it should have been from the beginning, and our family is beyond relieved to finally have this weight lifted off our shoulders. We can finally get back to enjoying life and focusing on our children, rather than living under the stress of false allegations. We are truly indebted to Attorney Seaver and his entire team for everything they did for us during this difficult time. We cannot thank Attorney Seaver and Lisa enough for their compassion, dedication, and support. We would recommend them to anyone without hesitation. If your family ever needs someone who will truly fight for you and stand beside you when you need it most, this is the team you want in your corner.
- ★★★★★When Everything Is on the Line, This Is Who You Want and Need
anonymous · litigation ·
Truly 500 stars if I could…. Working with Kevin Sever was, without question, the most exceptional experience I have ever had with an attorney—and honestly, something I never expected to need in my lifetime. From the very beginning, Kevin demonstrated a rare combination of intelligence, compassi on, and unwavering dedication. He is not only incredibly knowledgeable in his field, but also thoughtful, strategic, and deeply understanding of how overwhelming and emotional these situations can be. Throughout the entire process, he consistently put our minds at ease, communicated clearly, and approached everything with both professionalism and genuine kindness. What truly sets Kevin apart is that he goes far beyond what you would typically expect from legal representation. He doesn’t just do the job—he fights for you. He understands the system inside and out, including the ways it can sometimes work against people, and he knows exactly how to navigate it effectively. He escalates when necessary, protects your rights, and advocates with a level of commitment that is incredibly rare. Because of Kevin, my family is in a completely different—and far better—place than we could have been. He stood by us through an extremely stressful and difficult situation, and I truly believe that without him, the outcome could have been very different. His ability to advocate at the highest levels and resolve what felt like an impossible situation speaks volumes about his skill and character. Beyond his professional excellence, Kevin is simply a genuinely good person. He cares. He listens. He treats you like more than just a case. That kind of integrity is not something you come across often, and it makes all the difference when you’re going through something so challenging. I cannot recommend him highly enough. If you ever find yourself in a situation where you need someone to stand up for you, protect you, and fight tirelessly on your behalf, Kevin Sever is the person you want in your corner. I say that with complete sincerity and deep gratitude. Five stars doesn’t even begin to cover it..truly

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Exceptional Advocacy – Life-Changing Representation - Kevin Patrick Sever, Esq., is not just an attorney—he is a relentless advocate, a protector of families, and someone who truly stands up for what is right when everything feels stacked against you. Our family went through an incredibly difficult and deeply unjust situation involving multiple reports and investigations that never should have been brought against us in the first place. From the very beginning, Kevin Sever and his team stood firmly by our side, providing clarity, strength, and unwavering support during one of the most overwhelming times in our lives. What made this situation even more painful was the sequence of events. Before the most serious concerns ever came to light, our family had already been subjected to two separate allegations that were unsubstantiated, misrepresented, and mishandled from start to finish by nearly every party involved—except for Kevin Patrick Sever and his team. Then, when our child was later victimized and we took the appropriate steps to report and protect her, additional allegations were filed—not against the responsible parties, but against us as her parents. Instead of receiving support during a critical moment, we were once again forced into the position of defending our integrity. Through it all, Kevin approached our case with professionalism, compassion, and an unwavering commitment to the truth. He meticulously challenged inconsistencies, addressed misrepresentations, and fought tirelessly against claims that lacked proper basis. His attention to detail and deep understanding of family law and DCF-related matters made all the difference. What truly sets Attorney Sever apart is his persistence and his refusal to back down. Over the course of several months—through the holidays, from Thanksgiving through Easter, even overlapping with our child’s birthday—he continued to advocate for us with strength and determination. During a time when most families would feel defeated, he gave us direction, reassurance, and hope. Because of his hard work and dedication, these cases were ultimately resolved and closed. That outcome was not easy, and it was not quick—but it was just. Kevin never lost sight of the truth, and he never stopped fighting for our family. If you are facing a difficult or overwhelming situation involving family law or DCF, especially one that feels unfair, you need someone who will truly stand in your corner. Kevin Patrick Sever is that attorney. We are beyond grateful for his integrity, his dedication, and the way he fought for our family when we needed it most.
- ★★★★★OPPOSING COUNSEL
anonymous · litigation ·
Jordan was opposing counsel in my case. While I am deeply grateful for (and blown away by) my own attorney’s performance and ultimately the outcome, I couldn’t help but notice and respect Jordan’s efforts throughout the process. He consistently fought skillfully for his client, even when it was clear that his client wasn’t doing much to help himself or the situation. What stood out to me most was Jordan’s professionalism. He was always respectful in his interactions with me, my attorney, and the court. Even in a difficult, high-conflict case, he managed to craft strong and persuasive legal arguments. Although he ultimately ended his representation, it was clear he had worked hard to advocate for his client up until the end. Watching him argue on behalf of someone so challenging only underscored his talent and dedication as a lawyer.
- ★★★★★Works hard for you
Kealah · family law ·
I’m very grateful to have had Jordan for my divorce attorney. After leaving a abusive marriage he worked hard to keep my children and I safe and get the best outcome for us. His whole office is great too. You aren’t just a file there.
