David R Yannetti’s Reviews

VERY happy with the consultation and representation.. he helped us every step of the way. Great lawyer!

Attorney Yannetti brings great dignity to the law profession. He shows extraordinary compassion and patience, the highest level of expertise, and an admirable work ethic. His sensitive, thoughtful interactions earn him utmost respect and the confidence of clients and colleagues. He has assembled a superb team including Attorney Gregory Johnson.

I'm embarrassed to say that I've had to use David's services twice in the last three years or so. Both times, though, David Yannetti has done a phenomenal job and obtained a great outcome. I've witnessed the large growth of David's practice over the past few years, due undoubtedly to his great reputation and fantastic reviews from clients.
Despite this expansion, David is committed and available to every client. He stayed in touch with me during every phase of the proceedings, consulted with me on strategy and timing, and seriously considered how I felt and what I had to say. Equally important, David's attitude was totally nonjudgmental, and I felt that he was a strong advocate for me. In the past case he handled for me, I was totally factually innocent and a police officer falsely arrested me for assault and battery (I believe because I threatened to file a complaint against him). The police officer claimed that I had "chestbumped" him and charged me with felony assault on a police officer. I always had the impression that David totally believed me.
David has a great reputation not only among his clients, but also among judges, clerks, and ADAs. This was apparent to me in every interaction and in motion hearings. I think one reason David obtains such good results for his clients is that judges, clerks, and ADAs all trust him. Moreover, David seems to have a reputation for winning that encourages ADAs to settle cases on favorable terms.
I probably have a unique insight since I am a law student at a prestigious law school in the Boston area. Correspondingly, I had a lot to lose, including a job offer and admission to the bar - something that David recognized and factored into his strategy. Although David has years of experience over me, I do argue and appear regularly in court, representing indigent clients in civil proceedings. As an advocate myself, I recognize the qualities in David that make him a fantastic lawyer: empathy, reputation, intelligence, persuasiveness, articulateness, and diligence (among others).
I only add, in terms of pricing, that I found David's fees to be very reasonable, especially in light of the amount of work he did on my case, and the number of hearings he attended. He's probably not the cheapest attorney (although again, from comparison shopping for a lawyer I believe his rates are very competitive), but there's certainly truth to the saying, at least in his case, that you get what you pay for.

David Yannetti is not just a great Lawyer he is a great Man. He took on my case with the conviction and energy of a real intelligent, strong, caring, Lawyer who has alot of heart. In my case David took the time to make me feel comfortable and understand the legal system. The case against me was built on lies from my ex wife who wanted to misuse the legal system to attempt to change our legal shared 50% children's physical custody arrangement which was achieved through the GAL process and Probate Court. The stakes were as high as they could be for a father because if we lost it would be used as a hammer by my ex wife to change the custody of our children and get a way to attack me during the financial part of our on going divorce. David prepared for a full jury trial which ended up lasting two days. David through a strong cross examination of my ex wife clearly showed the jury that she was lying. The Jury came back with a strong not guilty verdict after less then thirty minutes of deliberations. David did not just fully clear my name he gave me the most important gift in the world, my children, because with the not guilty verdict I can use it as a shield to protect my kids, myself and the physical custody of my children. I keep David's business card in my wallet because if I or anyone I know needs hands down the best lawyer in Boston I will have his information at hand.

David Yanetti represented me at a clerk's hearing, and prevented me from being charged with a serious crime. Mr. Yannetti is well respected by the court because he is a very honest man. He was very kind to me. His fees were reasonable. His office is very easy to find, and his staff is very helpful. I strongly recommend Attorney David Yannetti.

Mr. Yannetti's reputation in the greater Boston area, I learned as his client, is absolutely unparalleled... the courts will even tell you as much. He knows how to get a tough job done quickly and accurately, and is extremely well connected. His former career as a prosecuting attorney allows him to think about your case from all possible angles - this is absolutely vital.

If you are reading this, you've probably found yourself in a tough spot, and if so I feel for you. You can't control everything about your situation, but you can decide which attorney you want by your side, and that can make all the difference. If I were you I know exactly what I would do: call David Yannetti without delay... he is worth every penny.

David Yannetti skillfully litigated a very serious set of felony allegations filed against me. While in law school, I was wrongfully accused of 5 felonies and as a result faced losing my home, my job, and my freedom.

David carefully evaluated my situation, and most importantly, believed in me when no one else would. David was patient and understanding, and stood by me when even my friends were skeptical given the allegations. David and worked diligently for the better part of a year, through multiple court appearances, and several additional false allegations of restraining order violations.

When my day in court arrived, David was more than prepared. His masterful ability to control a court room was evident: the judge dismissed over half the charges at the close of the prosecution's evidence.

The trial ended with the judge commenting on just how amazing a job had been done. I couldn't agree more. His brilliant representation has given me hope for the justice system.

Attorney Yannetti is outstanding! Anyone who finds themself in need of a defense attorney should look nowhere else. Without a doubt, he will get you the absolute best results. Attorney Yannetti is also incredibly caring and supportive, which is extremely helpful when faced with criminal charges. He saved my life from ruin and will go out of his way to do the same for you. Call him immediately.

Like in most other professions there are significant differences between skill levels of practitioners and their ability to deliver results (which is not dependent on skill alone). In my case attorney Yannetti brought back to the table an option that was denied my previous attorney. I was truly impressed by that.
If my case had gone to trial instead the statistical expectation of the outcome would have been very negative, there was too much at stake though we had a good chance of winning.
Attorney Yannetti is well known and received in the courtroom and has cultivated an extensive network of relationships over the years.
In my particular case his ex ADA background proved to be invaluable.
Even though I am very skeptical by nature I found Mr. Yannetti's communications with me credible and trusted him fully.
I was also impressed that he did not need to check any books to provide authoritative answers to my off the cuff, probing questions.
His counsel is worth every dollar you'd pay him.
