Awful Lawyer

Rude and treats you disrespectfully. Repeat, he does not care about you, just the bottom line and getting paid. Eden Rafferty hired him in last year, and he is pathetic, and will not fight for you in court, or in front of the Judge. He just wants to coast, and make a fast deal with the opposing at...torney, regardsless if it its in your best interest or not. His favorite thing to do, is anwser your question with question. He could give an asprin a headache. I can honestly say I wish him nothing but the worse for the rest of his life. He is also Morman and does not like representing people that are not religious.

Compasionate, kind and thoughtful

We hired attorney Hutchins to settle a work-related dispute. There was confusion, high emotions, and overall just a very difficult time for my wife and I. Attorney Hutchins met with us and explained how the process would work...He set clear and real expectations and did so with such compassion and... kindness. After we met with him we felt much better. We had our court appearance today and all worked out as our attorney said it would. Happy to put this behind us and grateful to Attorney Hutchins for helping us do so.

Enrik, I appreciate this thoughtful post. I'm glad that the matter resolved in a manner that allows you and your wife to move forward. Thank you, also, to our mutual friend who connected us. It was her trust in referring me to you, that I also worked to satisfy in this case. Best wishes!

Horrible

I was diagnosed with major depressive disorder and attempted to take my own life. My husband (who is now my ex) filed a restraining order. I started getting treatment right away because I loved my then 3-year old daughter tremendously and did not want to be apart from her at all - she was the one t...hing that kept me alive (I am 100% better today). Still, I was not allowed to see my daughter at all, which was completely counterproductive to me healing from the illness - seeing her would have been the best motivation in the world. So you can imagine, I was completely devastated and Aaron not only did not care about where I was coming from, but also did nothing to fight for me to see her. He did not even try for video calls. Further, when we went to court in Cambridge, he had no idea of how they worked and was yelled at by the judge. He lost confidence because of that and did not want to fight for me. Talk about completely unprofessional. I switched to another lawyer and in *2 weeks* she got me video calls. And then a few months later I got to have supervised visits. He never would have done any of this for me. DO NOT WASTE YOUR PRECIOUS, LIFE-SAVING TIME WITH HIM. He will not fight for you even if your health and relationship with your own child depended on it.

Anonymous, I don't know who you are; nor do I recognize any of the details in your post. If you were ever a client of mine, it has not been in recent years; and certainly not this year - 2017. Perhaps you have me confused with another attorney. Either way, I regret that you felt it necessary to document such a negative review about me or any other attorney. I have plenty of positive reviews from former clients of mine that directly contradict the kind of behaviors you attribute to me. While I acknowledge that no business professional (including me) satisfies 100% of its client base, I remain very comfortable and confident that I have and continue to satisfy the vast majority of those who hire me. I wish you well with the continued treatment of your mental health.

Simple Gratitude

I cannot thank Attorney Hutchins enough for helping me with my case. He was aggressive and acted swiftly regarding on my behalf, yet, expressed the compassion and patience I needed. He also provided me with valuable guidance and kept me focused on my case. I have dealt with two other lawyers since... my divorce and Aaron is, by far, just what I need to address my matters. My case was resolved quickly, but I know that it will not be the last and will obtain Attorney Hutchins' services again. I am at the point where mediation is no longer applicable and future contempts by my ex will require the skill and expertise of Attorney Hutchins.

Consultation on upcoming case with alternative solutions

Attorney Aaron Hutchins was professional and met with me very quickly. He assisted in seeking out alternative solutions to my upcoming case. He had honest concern about not only my case by with myself.

Thank you, Ry. It's important that people know that if I can't help them, I'll try hard to connect them with someone who can. Best wishes as you resolve your legal concern.
