Rose and I would like to thank Araujo & Fisher, LLC for the great job they have done in our immigration case, since the beginning Attorney Annelise Araujo was honest about how hard this case was going to be but also hopeful that we could get the results that we were looking for. We truthfully recomme nd Araujo & Fisher, LLC for all your immigration needs.

Elena · immigration · May 2026

I cannot speak highly enough of Atty. Annelise Araujo at the Law Offices of Araujo & Fisher LLC. Thanks to Annelise Araujo and Stefanie Fisher my husband and me have the green cards/permanent residency. The process is complicated but Annelise was very good in making the information clear and digestib le. She studied my case in its entire details before suggesting different options. Annelise is very professional, efficient, honest, and knowledgeable. She is very talented in understanding the client’s concerns, and she guided me through the entire green card process - extremely well organized, kept me informed, always returned my calls and emails whenever I had a question or concern, and above all she is extremely nice human being. Thank you Annelise! I strongly recommend Annelise Araujo to anyone seeking legal immigration advice.

Violeta · immigration · May 2026

It is my pleasure to strongly recommend Annelise Araujo as an extremely honest and knowledgeable immigration lawyer I have had the privilege of receiving legal advice and representation from. She has constantly supported my pursue of work visas that could be the best platforms to continue my professi onal life in United States with a strong sense of justice, trustworthiness and professionalism. The clarity and insight of her legal statements, her awareness of the struggles that arise in the process of application for Visas persisted throughout the whole time we worked together. Her language is resilient and her communication style has filled the conversations with my employer with knowledgeable and insightful advice. The journey of professional educators striving for dignity and justice in our field of work could not be possible without the legal voice of Annalise Araujo.

T. · family law · May 2026

Annelise and her partner Stefanie were my divorce lawyers and they were both fantastic. My divorce was very hostile (think false accusations of abuse) but I felt taken care of because I was in such good hands. They were attentive and responsive to my concerns, they explained everything about the proc ess to me so I knew what to expect, and they played hardball to negotiate a settlement that was more than fair for me. Annelise in particular is a force to be reckoned with in the courtroom. You would not want to be opposite her in a case.

Sara · May 2026

My experience with the team was a excellent and very successful experience . There were 3 different cases approved because they worked very hard and they had a lot of knowledge about the law. I was more than satisfied. I am very thankful and happy to have found a very honest team. I really recommend the Araujo and Fisher team.

I called Ted and told him I was on my way. I let him know that I was very hungry, and he assured me that he'd have some food available. Ted didn't disappoint, when I knocked on his office door, he greeted me with some steaming hot biscuits and peanut M&M's. After we discussed my case, Ted played t he drums for me. He's a very talented musician. It was quite an experience interacting with such a fine gentleman. I was feeling very overwhelmed but Ted assured me that I was in good hands. I plan to invite him to my daughter's wedding.

Leandro · May 2026

I hired Edward and he took care of the case very professionally, always ready to answer my questions, and we got the expected, I highly recommend

Alan · litigation · May 2026

Ted is a very personable and approachable individual as well as a very accomplished lawyer. We have hired him on two separate occasions and he was consistent in guiding us through the lengthy and complicated legal process in a language that we could understand. He always kept us honest in terms of th e possible scenarios that we would be facing but in a manner that kept us at relative ease. . He displayed a confidence in the court room and a talent for thinking outside of the box which ultimately brought both cases to a very successful conclusion. A five star rating which is thoroughly deserved

Joel · criminal defense · May 2026

I hired Ted Harrington for a complicated case, involving criminal and immigration implications. Ted made the process very clear from the first phone call. Ted was always there (via text, email, phone call or in person meeting) whenever I reached out, he was ready with a full explanation of any questi ons or concerns I had. Ted was the most knowledgeable attorney I've encountered in my long process with immigration and I reached out to over three lawyers. Ted knows the law and process, and was very clear and honest that there was a pathway for my case despite what others had told me. He had originally explained that my case could take time. and these cases often take patience and perseverance, He worked tirelessly for me and was professional, positive and encouraging throughout the process. And I recently received naturalization for citizenship. I would highly recommended Mr. Ted Harrington

Kate · dui · May 2026

Ted Harrington helped me with DUI case in Chicopee District Court, August 2018. The case was not simple and I was really frustrated as a person who is totally not familiar with criminal world. Despite of all complications of my situation, he was able to resolve the case with the best pos sible outcome. His professionalism, intelligence, abundant expertise made my case successful. In addition, his personality made me feel secured and , simply being in good hands . He provided emotional support to me and my close ones during all stages of this long process. Now, when case is over - his takes care until I will have my license back. This review is for people who is scared, frustrated and feels that life is falling apart because of tough situation - just reach out to him!

Joseph · immigration · May 2026

Laura is the best! When we met for the first initial consultation, she made me feel very comfortable. Communication was great, from the first day of me hiring her to work on my case to the end of my case. Laura is an excellent attorney who answered all my questions, got me prep and ready for my inter view, and I passed. Thank you again for taking my case.

Maritza · immigration · May 2026

I went to see Ms. Murray late August of 2019 for a consultation. I had never had a consultation with an lawyer for this particular situation before, so I was a bit nervous. Luckily, she put my nerves at ease the moment I arrived there. Her and her team were very welcoming and warm. She was knowledgea ble and made sure to answer all of my questions as honestly as she could. I will definitely recommend her to anyone looking for an immigration lawyer.

Hail · immigration · May 2026

I was through prolonged USCIS Administrative procedure. Every time I contacted them they used to say my case was on the queue and they would contact me when it was my turn. When I got tired of this answers I contacted Atorny Laura via AVO. She perfectly knows how to collect and connect evidences. Very professional! I’ve got a response from USCIS in 30 days after she filed a new claim on my extended N-400 application, and that was successful! Her rate feels like slightly expensive for a law income family like me, but I dare say she deserve it!

Mona · immigration · May 2026

I am Iranian, I left US for a conference abroad and I was stuck outside the States for 16 months! I have been living in the States for 9 years, have been married to a US citizen, and have had a professorship position at a public university. I hired multiple lawyers to help me with my case and I can s ay Laura was the one who finally brought me back home. Besides her expertise in work, she is easy to communicate with and she is a type of lawyer who really cares about her clients. She is simply awesome.

Joseph · immigration · May 2026

I contacted Laura through my wife. Apparently she knew Laura before me as she handled a case for her little brother. The case resulted in a success. My wife then felt confident to refer me to her for my immigration case. I can’t stop thanking My wife for referring me to Laura whom accepted my case in stantly. Professional, Fair, very timely sensitive, excellent communication, determination can describe Attorney Laura Murray T-Jan. My application was unfairly denied. But Thanks to Laura’s potential i am able to vote for the coming election.

My charges were all dismissed! Michelle was responsive, intelligent and professional. She answered my call every time which is so rare with attorneys I’ve had. So glad I hired her!

Andrew · criminal defense · May 2026

I hired Ms. Hubbard to defend me in a set of criminal citations I recieved due to an accident on a Vespa. I was very pleased with the result. Michelle is a fantastic lawyer and wonderful person to be around. She will take your case in any direction you feel comfortable going, while always giving he r honest legal opinion and tuned expectations. She is very confident in completely shutting down the opposition ...and for good reason, but should you want end things in a quick and civil manner, she is a guiding force; always ready to turn on a dime without ever abandoning any of your options. Very shrewd and uncannily invested in your best interests, she is a great legal mind, always professional, with an inexhaustible knowledge of law.

anonymous · litigation · May 2026

I contacted Michelle, when I unfairly received a harassment protection order. Michelle listened to my side of the story and agreed to defend me. Michelle gathered all the facts and explained to me how she would proceed with my case. Michelle listened to my concerns and seemed genuinely convinced o f my innocence. Michelle recommended several ideas that I’ve never thought of and I accepted them. What I remember and appreciate most is how tirelessly Michelle worked, on my behalf, especially on the day of my trial. In the end, I received a favorable decision and I believe that the outcome would have been different if not for Michelle’s excellent representation. If you seek an attorney who is knowledgeable, professional, efficient and reasonable, then Michelle is the person to contact. I would definitely recommend Michelle to my family and friends. I will not use anyone else.

Kelly · criminal defense · May 2026

I found Michelle online (my parents did) a day after I got a clerk hearing letter that was accusing me with three charges, and I was very overwhelmed with the situation because I had a lot to lose starting with my dream job, but still she was very professional, caring, and efficient. She explained ev erything to me and she did everything for me since day one without even getting paid first. She helped move my clerk hearing date closer which it was what I wanted because I needed to get this out of my head, and she also was able to get the police report of the incident to understand more what it was said, and she did that without even seeing me first, I REALLY appreciate all her work because not every lawyer will be there for you because I had another lawyer, and I could see the difference clearly. I was worried, and she was very patient and quick to respond any questions I had, even after the case was done, I was still emailing her and she was still there. She said she would fight my case even if it went to trial, and and I felt the need to have her in my case, and I was so glad she was able to represent me. I would definitely hire her any time I need a defense lawyer, she is exceptional! Thank you for your hard work in such a last minute hearing because I contacted her on Wednesday I believe, and Tuesday was the hearing which it was not even a week later. I am so thankful to you because I felt confident with you representing me no matter the outcome. Gladly it was a great outcome specially because it was a very hard case. I would recommend you to anyone in need of a defense attorney because you are not afraid to go the extra mile to represent your client in their best interest. Thank you again for taking my case, and helping win it.

My sister searched for the best, highly reviewed attorney in Boston online and found Michelle. After speaking with her on the phone and giving her a summary of what happened, I was confident to have hired Michelle because of the way she spoke and represented herself as well as her high record of ca se dismissals. I was arrested by the police and was accused of a charge that was not committed by me. I was scared, overwhelmed by the thought of losing the custody of my kids in addition to the child custody legal battles with my ex. Michelle showed up to my court hearings, walked me through what would happen in court hearings and every step of the way, suggested the best path moving forward with the mindset of getting the charge dismissed with leverage and strategies. She listened to my story and asked about who I am and what I do with empathy and compassion, and stayed up late to write my biography to the court/DA. She was very sensitive to my privacy so that I could feel comfortable speaking with her without anyone around. She worked really well with two other of my attorneys and was a team player as she and the other two attorneys knew that it was a very delicate and time critical situation with child custody involved. My case was dismissed after two months of my nightmare with this charge. Michelle will give you her honest legal opinions and guide you through the process in any directions you are comfortable with. She is thorough, communicative, and attentive to information presented to her, and is knowledgeable and will ensure you understand the legal terms and processes with patience. She is very responsive to emails, calls, and texts. On top of that, she is a wonderful person to be around - very approachable and relatable. It is adamant that Michelle cares for her clients and fights for the best desired outcomes for them. I am so glad Michelle was by my side as my criminal defense attorney!

This guy only wanted his feet did not ask me about my 21 year marriage and in fact, he checked off the box that I did not want alimony without telling me it cannot be reversed. He totally is the worst attorney ever stay far away from this poor knowledge not empathetic bottom feeding attorney.

Eric · family law · May 2026

I hired Gabriel for a prenuptial agreement and was very satisfied. Even though it was across 2 major holidays (that slowed my partner & I down, not Gabriel) -- we got it done it under 2 months. Gabriel was professional, quick-but-not-rushed and walked me thru each draft, providing clear guidance. I felt well represented. I'm very glad how smooth the whole process went.

anonymous · May 2026

I had bad experience with this attorney. One example I can cite is when I made some decision he failed to tell me all the legal and financial consequences which I think it's his job as an attorney. Second example is he set me up for a payment without clearly identifying his services. I felt I was put in a trap. I would recommend his service to anyone.

RH · family law · May 2026

I hired Gabriel to draft my prenuptial agreement. I found him to be extremely knowledgeable, efficient and professional throughout the whole process. There were a few hiccups (not his fault) and Gabriel guided me with sound advice. I would definitely recommend him to those who need an honest and t rustworthy attorney.

anonymous · family law · May 2026

Patiently, Friendly and profession. Gabriel helped me through out a painful divorce process less painful.

Asad · immigration · May 2026

I have known Ed for a number of years. Ed handled my H1B as well as family immigration. Ed was really thorough with all the paperwork and checked everything himself rather than giving it to a paralegal. Throughout the case he provided me with regular updates to my case. He was able to answer my qu estions very directly and accurately. His ability to understand the client's needs as well as do thorough research for available options makes his a perfect choice for immigration related legal matters. Even after the case, Ed was than happy to answer my questions and provide me with updates related to legal statues or immigration rules. I have recommended him to a few people and they have all had excellent experiences therefore I would high recommend him to anyone seeking legal advice.

Trina · immigration · May 2026

I know Ed for over 5 years now and he has handled both mine and my husband's H1-B cases and is also currently handling our green card processing. He is very professional and at the same time extremely helpful and responsive. I have always felt very comfortable asking him immigration related questions (sometimes very trivial) and he has always been responsive. He is very knowledgable in his area of work and I felt that he always keeps himself informed about the current developments and discussions in immigration laws and advices accordingly. He always evaluates cases very carefully and tries to prepare it in such a way that its chances of rejection is minimized. Ed has processed H1-B cases for many of my colleagues and our company is very satisfied with his services. I highly recommend him.

Sankar · immigration · May 2026

I have known my immigration attorney, Ed White over 4 years. He had helped me with my first successful H1B petition in 2008 followed by its renewal 3 years later. More recently, he had helped with my successful green card petition. Right from collecting my recommendation letters, he had remained pat ience in responding my questions regarding my case (some might have been very dumb and silly!) through several e-mails and phone calls. Most importantly, he clearly anticipated that I would get a RFE for a particular reason prior to my I-140 was filed. And, that is what happened once we filed my I-140. He had answers as well about how to respond RFE for my case. Within 10 days since our response, my I-140 was approved. He was very professional, was very clear in conveying the legal terms during the process and made sure he had all the documents necessary leaving no room for my petition to get rejected by USCIS. I would say that his legal fee was very nominal when compared to other attorneys and had allowed me to pay in installments based on where (ie, which step of the process) we were. I highly value and recommend his legal service to any non-immigrants.

Vivek · immigration · May 2026

Ed has taken care of all my immigration needs. He was very accessible and helpful. All at a very reasonable cost. He always takes the safe and conservative path which is how I like things to be done.

Umesh · May 2026

Mr. White is very responsive and was very helpful in providing various available options and its pros and cons in simple language which makes it easier to make a decision.He is very prompt in responding to querries and I highly recommend him.

Brendan · criminal defense · May 2026

Ughh, what a nightmare my life could have become, if I had not been fortunate enough to find Attorney Dakota Martin. I was wrongfully accused by the state for a crime I did not commit. Attorney Martin was beyond dedicated to ensuring I was not steamrolled by the state by clearly explaining the situat ion and tirelessly working to expedite a positive outcome in my case. For a process that can normally take 6 months to a year to complete, Dakota had my case dismissed in just 4 months. He went so far as to delay the start of his family vacation so my case could be dismissed that much sooner. That is dedication and I just wanted to say “Thank you, Dakota.”

Andrew · litigation · May 2026

Dakota Martin made a very good presentation before the Board of Appeal. He got a good result. Well-organized lawyer. Made me work too. Dakota Martin was able to work effectively with my Probation Officer.

Wendy · litigation · May 2026

I highly recommend Dakota Martin if you want an attorney that will win your case. Mr. Martin is a great defender, extremely knowledgeable, and helped put my mind at ease quickly! If you want someone who will get the job done, he is the attorney to hire. I am grateful for the work he did for me.

Justin · litigation · May 2026

Mr Martin does excellent work. Explains in realistic and understandable terms what to expect and how he wants to approach a case. At the time he helped me with my case, his wife had a baby (congratulations!), and he was still readily accessible and willing to help. Had my case dismissed swiftly an d effectively. Very professional.

anonymous · criminal defense · May 2026

Mr. Martin helped me with a very serious charge. I'm a military vet and he discovered some ways and helped come up with great ideas for getting my case dismissed. I would recommend him to anyone.

David represented me several years ago and I was very impressed with his empathy, persistence, and attention to detail in successfully resolving the matter. I would highly recommend working with David!

anonymous · employment law · May 2026

David was extremely diligent in his handling of my corporate employment law matter and conducted himself with the utmost integrity at all times. He proved to be an outstanding strategist in developing a legal approach and carrying it through to a successful conclusion. Most importantly, he provided strong moral support throughout the entire process.

Vicki · employment law · May 2026

I hired David for help with an an employment issue I was experiencing. I found him to be an excellent attorney. David is compassionate and supportive and has an excellent command of the law. He is also very clear in his communications and has the patience required to work through details and iterativ e negotiations. With his legal assistance my employment issue was brought to a positive end.

anonymous · employment law · May 2026

I recently engaged David to help me negotiate my separation agreement and release with my employer. Unfortunately I found myself needing an attorney after being asked to resign and the shock and emotion of the situation made it difficult to know how best to proceed. After consulting three other law firms I knew David was the right person based on his immediate response to my inquiry and the calm thoughtful manner in which he dealt with me from our very first consultation call to the resolution of my situation. His advice, support and demeanor all made the experience easier to get through and the outcome was as good as I could have hoped for. I would highly recommend David's firm to anyone finding themselves needing similar support.

chris hoban · May 2026

I spoke with David by phone. He was affable, patient, and honest. He listened to my situation and asked pertinent questions. In the end he decided not to represent me but still took the time to answer my questions, and also urge me to continue to look for representation.

Alyssa · litigation · May 2026

Attorney Kavaja is one of the smartest and most hard-working individuals I have ever met. Working with Ilir through one of the hardest experiences of my life, was easily the best decision I made. He truly examined every detail and his compassion towards finding the truth and getting justice for the u nderdog speaks volumes. His knowledge and understanding of the law is exemplary and he is always extremely professional. His ability to communicate is extraordinary as he takes the time to explain complicated legal matters, so that I always understood the proceedings. I highly recommend Ilir if you need a lawyer to give you exceptional representation.

anonymous · employment law · May 2026

Ilir came highly recommended and it is no surprise why. He was attentive, thorough, professional and dedicated. I felt that these attributes, coupled with his expertise in employment law, were what led to a favorable outcome. Could not agree more with a previous reviewer that one can sleep well knowi ng Ilir is on the case. I highly recommended Kavaja Law!

Dave · employment law · May 2026

I contacted him regarding my employment case. I found him very smart with an excellent memory. He will fight for you. He evaluated my case and accepted. I went for a trip and he had a second thought about my case. Then he advised me to find a lawyer for other possible claims too. I contacted a couple of lawyers. Ultimately, the other lawyer followed the same strategy. If he accepts your case, sign the contract the same day. He is a great fighter.

Oana · employment law · May 2026

Ilir is such a wonderful and accomplished lawyer, that I have no words to describe. He took our case which was in limbo for 8 years when no other attorney would. He persevered and we won a very complex case at MCAD. He won all the appeals after we won the case at appeals and superior court. His knowl edge of the law and his dedication is amazing. On top of all that he is such a nice and personal human being. Highly recommended , thank you again !!!

Gina · May 2026

I was referred to Mr. Kavaja by another attorney. Mr. Kavaja far exceeded my expectation! He was honest, professional, and very responsive. I was shocked at how detailed he was during his prep work. I would absolutely refer folks to Mr. Kavaja without hesitation! He is the best of the best!

Tony · immigration · May 2026

From my first consultation with Kristina on, I have always felt secure and certain that I would get my H1B first and then my Green Card. The way how Kristina works is highly professional, fast, to the point, and friendly. She always presented and submitted all documents in a way that they were immedi ately accepted by the immigration office. In my case I got the Green Card in 33 months, and the process went smoothly. Every document that is not submitted correctly only prolongates anxious waiting on the Green Card; this was never the case with Kristina. As soon as I can, I will apply for the citizenship via Kristina's office. Thank you so much, Kristina, for your amazing service. If all people had worked as you do, our society would be in a much better shape.

Alena · immigration · May 2026

Я очень благодарна адвокату Кристине Рост за крайне профессиональную поддержку в процессе получения мною гринкарт. Прежде, чем заключить контракт с адвокатом, я провела интервью с более чем 15 адвокатами и выбрала Кристину. Я ни разу не пожалела о своем выборе: вся работа была выстроена четко, коммун икация происходила быстро и эффективно. Отдельно хочу отметить качество работы команды Кристины: на каждом этапе я работала с очень знающими и хорошо организованными сотрудниками, Кристина всегда в копии, мгновенная рекция при любом вопросе. Всем своим знакомым буду рекомендовать работать с Кристиной Рост.

Philip · immigration · May 2026

In 2005 the company I worked for hire Kristina to process my Green Card. Since then Kristina has been working to process other employees at my firm, the most recent of which was this past year. Kristina is highly knowledgable and the constant professional in supporting candidates through the process and very responsible to questions and concerns. I would highly recommend Kristina as your immigration lawyer.

Cassia · immigration · May 2026

They will navigate you through the entire court process and are always reliable. I recommend Nick and his team to anyone dealing with the family court system!

Stephen · May 2026

The Halks team helped me with a challenging modification request. The firm is clearly in demand but they did a great job of staying on top of the work and negotiations. Attorney Halks is a great negotiator- setting the proper conciliatory tone when needed and willing to get tough when appropriate. Overall he was able to get me much more than I had anticipated. Great results! Great team!

Ramya · family law · May 2026

Nick is exceptionally skilled at crafting strong, well-reasoned arguments in the courtroom. Beyond his legal expertise, he is genuinely compassionate and ethical—never steering you in the wrong direction just to prolong a case unnecessarily. I was going through a particularly difficult divorce inv olving custody of my then 5-year-old daughter. The opposing counsel used every tactic possible to undermine me, attempting to portray me as an unfit mother simply because I live with anxiety. They pushed for a psychological evaluation, which I passed, and even tried to discredit the results in court. Nick stayed one step ahead throughout the entire process. He was meticulous in filing all the necessary paperwork on time and always had a strategic plan in motion. Don’t let his calm and easygoing demeanor fool you—he’s constantly thinking several moves ahead to protect your interests. I was deeply involved in my case, often sharing research and asking countless questions. Nick and his team were always patient, responsive, and even incorporated some of my input into the case strategy, which helped strengthen our position. Unlike some attorneys who can come off as abrasive or detached, Nick remained respectful and kind throughout. He was consistently professional, saving his sharp focus and assertiveness for the courtroom. He was also incredibly courteous to my family, who supported me at every hearing. Nick never made false promises, and in the end, I achieved an outcome I was genuinely happy with. I’m grateful to have had him by my side during such a challenging time.

Matt · family law · May 2026

Nick Halks is an exceptional family law attorney. He took over my case after I had significant challenges in the family court process, and immediately implemented a clear, effective strategy. His preparation, responsiveness, and understanding of custody law made a substantial difference in how my case was presented and ultimately resolved. Most importantly, he helped me achieve 50/50 shared legal and physical custody of my son. Throughout the process, Nick was professional, thorough, and genuinely invested in the outcome. I would strongly recommend him to anyone dealing with complex custody issues. As a client who went through a long and difficult custody process, I can say from experience that having the right attorney makes all the difference.
