Thoughtful Lawyer Who Does Not Give Up

I liked working with Attorney Pilon. During my free half-hour legal consultation, he laid out all of my options if I were to hire him. He seemed very knowledgeable, which is why I hired him. After I hired him, he was very attentive to the needs of my case. He did a thorough job. He was great at c...ommunicating with me about the case's needs. He worked out a payment plan with me that was very reasonable. I had questions along the way, and he would call me or text me back with answers to my questions. His assistant Trish was very helpful . My case was very complicated, and he did not give up on me. The building where his office is is very conveniently located. There is plenty of on-street parking, nearby parking garages, or valet between the building and City Hall. His building is also near the courthouses. I felt safe when I went to his office. I would recommend Attorney Pilon to perspective clients of Attorney Pilon.

Child Custody Champion

At first I was a little reserved, but the more I spoke with Mr. Pilon, the more he made me feel comfortable, both with his knowledge, and down to earth approach. As a father in MA fighting for child custody, I couldn't have picked a better person to represent me, and my child. I now have full custod...y of my child, and will be forever grateful for his help in making my dream a reality.

Client

I was a mess when going to my consultation with attorney Pilon, I called him when my children were ripped away from me for something I had no control over by the department of Social services. The day I called ,He set up a meeting for that day. Having court the following day, he moved his schedule ar...ound to travel to the Berkshire’s to take my case. He talked me down and put my mind at ease, explained my situation In it’s entirety, assured me we were going to get my children back. He worked effortlessly day and night ( days before Christmas, we actually had a court date on Christmas Eve during a huge snow storm and he made sure he was present) he called the plaintiff’s out on the bs they were trying to pull, the lies they told he had me get immediate proof Of and used his knowledge as a previous social worker to get the judge to see what they were doing was wrong and extremely unprofessional. I didn’t have the money as I lost my job fighting for my children, he still showed up every time. This man actually cares about his clients. You feel comfort in talking to him as he lays it out straight. I got my children back within the month thanks to him, their father was able to come home and we are now healing from the hell we were in. Thank you attorney Pilon, May nothing but blessings and good luck come your -Samantha and James.
