"I endorse this lawyer. Clients represented by Attorney Trask should feel comfortable knowing that their attorney is at the forefront of the field of bankruptcy law in Massachusetts, and will intelligently advocate for their interests. He has demonstrated the ability to excel in complex bankruptcy matters as well as to deftly handle license to carry issues and criminal defense. His blog, Don't Go Alone, and web-based applications serve as valuable resources to some of the most seasoned bankruptcy law practitioners."
"I endorse this lawyer. An outstanding lawyer who zealously represents his clients and is a credit to the legal profession. His knowledge of the law is unsurpassed."
"Although Attorney Trask specializes in bankruptcy and debt collection, his strong interdisciplinary background, including his experience in criminal and family law, provides him with unique insight into crisis planning and conflict of law scenarios. I have consulted with Attorney Trask numerous times in my family law practice to obtain his input on the possible impact of bankruptcy where the parties are engaged in ongoing, often contentious divorce proceedings. His understanding of the complex interplay between divorce and bankruptcy has proven invaluable in scenarios where clients must choose between filing for bankruptcy individually or jointly prior to completing their divorce, or individually after the divorce has concluded. Attorney Trask is a trusted colleague and skilled attorney who I have no hesitation endorsing in all respects."
