I have a 258E situation in the Appeals Court, and Attorney Szklasz was able to provide me with "workaround" strategy ideas on the various options i have, both at the trial court level, and at the SJC level. In his session with me he was very patient, and provided me excellent advice, as i go forward with an attorney (i couldnt hire him, he is too far out of my geographic area).
Debt collection, violations of debt collections practices statutes.
I am an attorney who is concerned that service in the legal industry is almost gone. To help bring service back, one client at a time, I am not only willing to do housecalls, I ENCOURAGE THEM! My office does not bill for every minute that may be considered billable to keep my client's legal bills down to a more affordable level. I am willing to make retainer payment arrangement and am very flexible. Does this mean that I get taken advantage of by some clients? Absolutely. However, I did not become an attorney to become rich. My decision was more about enjoying what I do and helping others.

The Best
I'm a single, disabled Mom. After much research I knew I wanted This atty..However, I was disheartened to see he was hours away. Yet, when I told him this he offered to make a House Call! I'll be lucky, I believe, if he takes my case after we meet. I met him through AVVO and he impressed me very much with his responses. Then after reading every review I could find plus awards, etc..I was sold.

It was my pleasure. One of the main reasons why I decided to practice law in a solo-practice was that I wanted to bring service back into the legal industry. I am very happy that I was able to help you in your time of need.

Caring, Personable, Modern, Yet Old Fashioned Attorney
I contacted Attorney Szklasz to seek direction regarding a family matter, (adoption). His response was very fast and his legal advice was considerate, easy to understand and concise. I also referred Attorney Szklasz to a friend for an issue with an automobile. His response to her was identical. Should I need future legal counsel, I would not hesitate to retain his services.

My "Go To" Guy
My wife and I hired Michael after a couple of failed representations. Very failed. Mike stepped right up to the plate and won every case we hired him for with his hard work and dedication. I call him for every legal aspect of our lives. He is knowledgable and flexible. He is sensitive to all needs, and respects my time and my feelings. I recommend Michael to all my friends and even people I don't know who I over-hear need legal help. Michael is my go-to guy and I wouldn't want it any other way. Great family Attorney and landlord-tenant Attorney.

Very helpful!
I hired Attorney Michael J. Szklasz to help me with a legal issue I was having with my landlord. Not only was he very knowledgable about the law, he helped me to understand it! He actually educated my landlord's attorney. He got me results well above what I expected.

Great lawyer!
Mr. Szklasz was a very good lawyer. He contacted me as soon as he found out any new information. Any time I contacted him he responded within 24 hours. I won my case with his help. I would recommend Mr. Szklasz to anyone looking for a lawyer. He is new but he does a great job and is very knowledgeable. The next time I need a lawyer I will be contacting him.
