Reviews
"I needed help with a social security case The lawyers are unqualified to help and do very little. I think these lawyers are there to get some of experience to put on their resumes. They are not not the cream of the crop legal minds by any stretch ."
"Website specifically says they offer help with housing or housing instability. Says they have grant programs to help with housing in another section also under housing help. I call the number they have listed and they tell me they don't offer those services. Then why do you advertise it on your website?False advertising and very misleading. No help for elderly citizens anywhere in Massachusetts."
"Took too long doing my intake 10 days after initial contact, then a few more days more hearing from an attorney and it was a time sensitive matter!!"
"They can't help tenants who are being terrorized, only the slum Lord landlords! I'm being stalked and harassed in my own apartment. He has his girlfriends kids come over and run, stomp and follow me wherever I go and stomp. 26 hours it went on last weekend, Friday to Sunday, up at 4 and 5 am stomping! I have CANCER, LUPUS, FIBRO AND HAD A MVA THAT REQUIRED 12 HOURS of surgery. The stress makes my conditions worse, to the point I can't walk. But I go to work, I can only work 18 hours a week because I'm on disability. But nobody can help me. Any pro Bono lawyers out there reading this? I wanna sue the rental company."
"They answer the phone quickly and if you leave a message, they also respond quickly. As for the services, the only thing they help with is domestic violence cases. Otherwise, you are wasting your time. The lady who answers is professional and courteous. It is a shame they advertise they help everyone and it is false."
