Highly recommended--contracts and small claims

We hired Andrew Bass three times over the last five years. He assisted us to negotiate and draft contracts for major construction ($1+ million) and pursue damage to our vehicle due to negligence (Jiffy Lube). We have worked with many attorneys over the years. Andrew is diligent, honest and pleasant t...o work with. His fees are very fair and his work is high quality. Most recently, we prevailed in our small claims case against Jiffy Lube with a settlement of $13,500 (almost 2x the max of $7k allowed in small claims court)

Professional and timely

Attorney Bass helped us with a settlement agreement to mutually agree with our tenants to end a lease early. He made the process very quick and painless, from the phone call to preparing the document to sending it for e-signatures all in the span of a few days.

We highly recommend Attorney Andrew Bass

We highly recommend Andrew Bass to serve as attorney to represent any individual, business or corporation to address any civil matter. In the fall of 2020, we purchased a home to be built in Central Massachusetts. The home was to be completed by February 2021. The completion date was delayed and t...he contract was extended twice. Once construction began, with no prior communication, the builder sent a letter indicating that the period of time to extend the contract an additional time had elapsed and requested that we sign a document releasing him of the contract, which would allow him to return our deposit. During the 18 months that had elapsed between the time the contract was signed and the time we received this letter, interest rates significantly increased and the housing market had crashed, essentially denying us our opportunity to relocate. Rather than sign the document, we felt it was important to hold this builder accountable for what we perceived to be unethical practice. We knew of Andrew Bass as a well known and highly respected member of the Hadley MA community. We hired Attorney Bass to represent us in this civil matter. From the beginning and as the case progressed, the builders had the luxury of referring to a signed contract that indicated an expiration date. Our case was based on our belief that these builders allowed the contract to expire in order to sell the property for a higher profit margin. This difficult case required Attorney Bass to travel from Hadley MA to Worcester MA to attend hearings and to respond on our behalf to some unusual tactics used by the builders' attorneys, which were apparently aimed at pressuring us to drop the case. Throughout the process, Attorney Bass kept us informed by phone, text, email and in person and remained committed to holding these builders accountable. In the days prior to a hearing brought forth by the builders to have our lawsuit dismissed, they began to agree to settle. While we agreed to settle out of court, we believe that their willingness to settle indicated that they feared continued litigation that would leave a public record of their business practices. We found Andrew Bass to be a knowledgeable, well spoken Attorney who is committed to a practice of law that ensures that ethical standards are recognized and that those who fall victim to unethical practice are empowered and protected.

Excellent Expectations and Communication

I hired Attorney Bass to handle a contract dispute with a home improvement contractor I had hired to do some work. Attorney Bass was frank with my options from the beginning, he was confident that he could get a settlement everyone would be happy with.

Knowledgeable Attorney

I hired Attorney Bass to represent me in a civil suit regarding a private motor vehicle sale. He was very knowledgeable and understanding and well represented my interests. I was referred to him by an attorney friend of mine who referred to him as a vehicle law expert and he lived up to his refer...ence.
