Barry R. Lewis

I hired Barry R Lewis of Massachusetts to help me bring my divorce to an end after 6 arduous years. Barry was wonderfully informative at our 30 minute consultation. His intimate knowledge of the courts, processing times, and his decades of experience in Massachusetts Divorce was apparent and I felt n...o hesitation in selecting him as my lawyer. Once I paid my retainer, Barry made very swift progress with my paperwork, and secured a pre-trial date for me right away. Despite the other party in my divorce playing time-wasting games, Barry and Sue were able to keep us on-track, at a price my family could afford, and did not show any of the negative or unscrupulous behaviors often associated with lawyers, such as racking up unnecessary fees. On the day of court, Barry was truly a rockstar and had my case seen by the judge right away. He was swift, professional, stuck to the facts and spoke with authority on my case. I was able to walk away a free and divorced woman within 5 minutes of being up in front of the judge. His final bill was fair, and I do truly and heartily recommend him and his team for anyone seeking divorce in MA. Thank you Barry, Sue, and Kate. I am eternally grateful for your services!

I often was left asking questions that received Zero answers. I paid $2000 flat for a uncontested divorce, and our introduction seemed great.but it took a couple months to get the ball rolling and I had to be persistent on asking for my ex spouses signature. Noone cares more about your situation than... you, so Im glad I was persistent. Otherwide it was going to continue moving at a snail pace. Almost every single email that I sent with a question , was completely unanswered or given random information that was not related to said question(s). Eventually I called and after talking for 7 minutes the call dropped mid sentence, I called back 4 times and followed up with emails and had ZERO response, acknowledgement or apology for them ending the call while they were in the middle of their sentence. Ironically it was in the middle of them answers the SAME QUESTIONS that were ignored via email. I happen to video record the whole call (i had it on speaker phone with a in person witness as well) and showed to another lawyer and asked for legal advice and if they could take over for me and they offered to do so. The only hold back was by this point I had a court date already set and didnt want to start the process over let alone pay for a whole new lawyer. By the end of it I was not provided a divorce decree and was told to get it myself from the court house even though it was agreed upon to be apart of what I hired a DIVORCE lawyer for. What divorce lawyer doesn’t have their client leave with a divorce decree? How hard is it to obtain the document and mail it to the client? Not to mention the incompetence to send email without typos…he even spell his own name wrong… how frustrating. My now husband and I had to wait so long to have my divorce officially happen from my abusive ex husband and half the time waited felt like it was due to these slow responses and lack of persistence. If i could go back I would spend the extra couple thousand to get a lawyer that listens to my concerns and answers questions rather than ghosting me at times. Good riddance to the ex husband and the ridiculous process it took to get through it.

Working with Barry and his paralegal Sue was a dream in a horrible situation. I met with Barry immediately following leaving my ex wife, and he took my case, compiled, and completed the separation agreement the same day. I was in a situation that became very contentious, and Barry and Sue helped ...me navigate it with grace. They were consistently available, gave me good advice, answered all of my (very many) questions, and helped me maintain distance from my ex. They were endlessly professional, compassionate, and willing to go the extra mile to make things work for me. Additionally, Barry was able to help me keep the divorce as amicable and affordable as possible, streamlined the process successfully, and got me in and out of court efficiently despite the complications that arose secondary to my ex becoming contentious. I cannot begin to recommend Barry enough.

I was very stressed and met with several attorneys when I needed to divorce my Husband. Barry wasn't necessarily the most polished, but he was the most knowledgeable and easy to talk to!. I went with my gut and I was really happy. He can answer any question you have about the process, the law and wh...at is likely to happen any step of the way. He is very busy, but his assistant Sue is really smart and helpful too and they are very responsive to emails and phone calls.

I had been going through a divorce for almost 2 years, the case had delays and I was so tired and frustrated, that I fired my attorney. Someone recommended I call Barry, they had wonderful results. He listed to my concerns and knew the other lawyer and the judge. He specializes in divorce, and reall...y had great insight into the legal system. He offered a realistic approach, suggested we obtain a GAL to help me obtain custody of my children. He quickly moved on the case, and for the first time I felt there was hope. Within 6 months, my case was settled. Barry and his team were so caring, they know that family is everything. An honest attorney who you can trust, no games, just experience and professionalism. I owe him so much.
