Attorney Hoch was an excellent advocate for my legal position. He took the time to listen carefully, demonstrated compassion for my legal matter then offered a determined assertive resolution to my legal issue with great professionalism, perseverance, creativity and the desired outcome. My issue was time sensitive and he jumped in immediately to help. I would contact Mr. Hoch on my next legal business matter without hesitation.
I grateful the Avvo tool and found Attorney Alan Hoch. I did go through many attorney conversations before I settled on Mr. Hoch. He was patient, thoughtful and even more concise with his empathic approach to help me in most judicial way possible. He was so focused on my result it saved me time and attorney's fees. I just can't say enough good things about Attorney Hoch's efficiency.
I have over 35 years experience litigating cases on behalf of my clients in the district courts and also Superior Court. You want an experienced, tough litigator who knows the ropes and who works closely with clients. I am always available to talk.
I represent both plaintiffs and defendants in breach of contract cases, both private contracts and commercial contracts. You need to know your rights, defenses, damages, or exposure depending on whether you are a plaintiff or a defendant.
I defended insurance companies for 20+ years. Now, I spend time working to make insurers pay claims and defend their insureds. Know your rights when insurers deny coverage, issue a reservation of rights letter, or when they refuse to pay your claim.
I was an arbitrator for over 20 years. Now I bring or defend arbitration claims. Arbitration is not exactly like court, but arbitral decisions are almost always binding. An experienced arbitration lawyer can make all the difference in your case.
I represent consumers who have been victimized by unscrupulous businesses. I also represent businesses who feel that they have been unfairly accused of unfair or deceptive practices.
I represent both plaintiffs and defendants in defamation cases. in the Commonwealth. If you want to know if you have a claim, or if you want to know what your damages might be, feel free to contact me.
My background is primarily in litigation, consitsting of contract litigation, insurance law, real estate litigation, personal injury, consumer protection, libel and slander, professional malpractice claims (both plaintiff and defendant), and the mediation or arbitration of those claims. I have also represented clients in anti-SLAPP litigation, abuse of process, malicious prosecution, 258E claims and defenses, land use, civil rights law, and appeals involving a number of the above practice areas. I spent almost 20 years at several firms in Boston, including Craig & Macauley, Burns & Levinson, and Donovan Hatem, I was an associate at Craig & Macauley, a partner at Burns and Levinson, and a founding partner at Donovan Hatem. In 2006 I went out out on my own and have represented a large client base at my own practice since then. My firm offers you the experience and skill of Boston counsel but at a more competitive price. I also offer my clients extra personal touches only a firm dedicated to personal service can provide, such as weekend/holiday calls and appointments, meetings on holidays if needed, cell phone access- whatever it takes to communicate for me to effectively with you, the client. Its also about pursuing and defending your interests aggressively, dealing effectively with opposing counsel and their clients, many of whom can be extremely difficult or unreasonable, and working hard to get the best outcome for you. We provide detailed invoices so the clients know what they are paying for and how charges made work towards your desired outcome. We are experienced working efficiently and professionally with courtroom personnel. If you have questions about a case or claim and you want a free consult, feel free to contact me. I look forward to hearing from you.

Our experience with Alan
As our family business matured to require legal services, we turned to Alan for transactional, litigation, permitting and other legal needs. Just as often, we sought his counsel on strategic decisions involving a balance of legal & business considerations. It was clear Alan was drawing from experience with issues that were important to us—what a relief to be in good hands. The wise entrepreneur keeps the company of great lawyers, and you’ll thank yourself for proceeding with Attorney Hoch by your side.

Home town country lawyer
Alan has represented both me personally and my business for well over 20 years on various matters was a high level of successes. He strategically works out the correct positions to help bring resolution to each situation. His background as a former big city lawyer has him well equipped to out maneuver the opposing counsel. I would not hesitate to have him represent me again.
