Thorough and Thoughtful

I hired Irena midway through my divorce. She quickly brought herself up to speed and hit the ground running to get my case settled as soon as possible. Irena was kind, honest, and supportive. She gave me her cell number and was very responsive to my questions and concerns. I often felt like I was... her only client--though I know that wasn't the case. The divorce itself was awful but having Irena on my side made me feel like I was going to get the best result despite the terrible situation. I'm grateful to Irena and her team at C, B, I, & B for seeing me through one of life's more unpleasant events with professionalism and compassion.

Kind Hearted, Client Centric Lawyer!

Irena Inman is a diamond in the rough. I have not had a lot of experience working with lawyers (thankfully) but if I ever have to in the future, they will be held to a high standard as Irena has set the bar incredibly high. Her knowledge, commitment, and passion for helping others is beyond compare. ... She will take the time to listen to you, place no judgement and will offer you all the options you possibly can and will always check with you to make sure that the choice you have made is with certainty as she doesn't ever want you to regret your decision. I hired Irena to help me with my divorce case and she was respectful to the other party, provided clear directions and even indicated some possible outcomes, which is quite insightful since I did not know what could happen. It certainly speaks to her breadth of knowledge. Thank you so much for everything Irena. You're an angel without wings.

Best attorney ever!!!!

Being a man in a Massachusetts court room is very scary and I learned that the hard way years back. The next time something came up I immediately got a attorney. I found Irena’s firm just by checking reviews. And boy were those reviews not only right they were a million times better. In the last year... Irena has gone leaps and bounds to make sure my case stays the way I want it and my son is still with me. She has been a life saver I would be lost without her. Not only is she the best attorney in the state she’s a great person and really takes pride in what she does. I had an emergency on Xmas of all days and Irena didn’t hesitate to take time away from her family to help me with my problems and make sure my family and I were ok. I have had attorneys before were it would take a week to hear anything but not with Irena she answers usually within minutes. If your looking for a great attorney who’s as smart as they come and absolutely loves what she does Irena is for you. This last year has been one of the hardest years of my life but luckily I’ve had Irena every step of the way. She’s not only the best attorney I’ve had she’s also become a friend with everything we have fone threw. I would a million times over recommend Irena to anyone who wants a hard working attorney who loves her job and is absolutely amazing at it.

Would be lost without her!

If you're not represented by Irena, you're already losing. For the past 5 years Irena has been involved in our child custody case in one way or another. Shes been there for us emotionally and legally during whats been the most difficult times of our lives. If you're looking for the warm and fuzzy fee...ling you probably wont find that with Irena. And truthfully, that's one of the things we like best about her- shes honest, she tells you like it is and she doesn't sugar coat because she understands how important it is for her clients to realize the situation that they are in. But you also wont find another attorney who out works her either. Our case was challenging to say the least. Irena was met with a tumultuous relationship between mother and father and an extremely combative opposing counsel. And by the time we had retained her for our last trial, she only had a few weeks to prepare. But you wouldnt know it. She did not miss a beat. She met with us several times during those few weeks leading up to trial, she studied our file incessantly and she also re read everything in the file late the night before our trial. She went as far as to enlisted other staff members in her firm to help with all the little stuff so that she could focus on the strategy behind the trial. We were nervous to say the least. But to no surprise, Irena was amazing at our trial! There really isnt any other way to describe it. She was focused on making us look like the better parent while opposing counsel focused in on our flaws. Irena positioned our case to be the stronger one by highlighting the most important aspects of the childs progress while opposing counsel lead with the childs lack of progress. Every single thing Irena did was calculated, purposeful and effective. We love how she doesnt waste her time berated the opposing side, and that her energy is spent position our case to the judge positively. Her litigation style is very professional, straight forward and concise. Shes one of the few attorneys I've known to be so incredibly effective with the little time shes given. And even after our trial when we were feeling down, sad and confused, she was there for us to pick up the pieces. She answered our calls the same day even though she had just spent 8 hours with us, and she responded via email over the weekend even though our trial had ended and she was no longer representing us. I feel as though we are forever indebted to Irena and her firm, CallahanBarraco. And I really hope that other people reach out to her when they need legal help because she really is the best. And trust me, if youre in a position where you are needing legal counsel, you want to spend the money on a team like Irena's because they come with the whole package. Thank you so much to Irena for getting us through the most emotional and hardest 5 years of our lives. We really are so grateful for you and everything you did for our case.
