Best Pro-Tenant Lawyer

A. Joseph Ross represented me on two separate landlord cases when I was a tenant. He was an absolute fun to work with and he won both my cases. He isn't shy to puff out his chest and go for the bad guys, and he also helped write the landlord tenant laws when he worked for Dukakis. He knows the law in... and out and there are no second guesses. He likes to talk so remember you are on the clock and he has a great sense of humour. I wish all lawyers cared as much about their tenants as this mad did.

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"Attorney Ross has been a fixture in Landlord Tenant law for many years. His wealth of experience is matched by his great personality and willingness to go the extra mile. I have seen him mentoring newer attorneys on many occasion and offering the critical practical advice that only comes from years of successful practice."
