Thank goodness that I found Attorney Black. She was/is tough, persistent, patient, thorough and smart. Most importantly for me, she was extremely responsive - readily available by email and/or phone call to clarify legal issues and strategy questions. I appreciated her straightforward advice. What... does the law say? And what are the factors that the judge will likely consider? If you are getting divorced, you will find that for the earning party, Mass law is a mechanism purposefully built to attach your earnings and confiscate your assets. Barbra stood up for me and adroitly defended me against the ringing chorus of voices (including my first attorney) demanding that I "just pay her". Barbra did not just defend my assets and earnings but went above and beyond to preserve my sanity.

I hired Barbra to help with a visitation modification. My case was not an easy one and my ex was not willing to negotiate at all. Barbra never left me in the dark about what was going on and always advised me on the most cost effective means to achieve the desired results. Barbra and her entire legal... team worked very hard to get me a better than expected settlement. I will forever be thankful to Barbra and her team for getting me a fair settlement which allows me to be in my son's life again.

Barbra did a fantastic job fighting what I would consider to be a total B/S law suit, my ex wife and her attorney tried suing me for well over a 100K for a child that had been emancipated for several years. Barbra was incredible at the discovery process and was able to dig up the truth in a case ...that was filled with lies and false allegations, She was tough as nails but also very professional. Obviously my emotions were high as there was a lot at stake and she was able to keep me calm and focused on what mattered, she also encouraged me to try to do as much of the information gathering as possible to keep the costs down. She brought up ideas on how to attack this case that was going to cost me more money but in the end would eventually prove to be the very thing that caused us to win. Although it was not cheap you get what you pay for and she was well worth the cost. As with any attorney you pay for e-mails, calls and everything else but she was real good about handing less important stuff of to the staff in her office in an effort to keep costs from soaring. I would highly recommend Barbra, if your going to be in a dog fight you better bring a pit bull and that's exactly what she was, my ex and her attorney got destroyed in court and Barbra was able to show the judge exactly what this case was about greed and fraud. Although it took almost a year she was truly amazing and I am so grateful I hired her to be my attorney.

I switched to Barbara in the middle of my divorce because I was unsatisfied with my first lawyer. It was like night and day. Barbara listened to me, she understood what my objectives were in the divorce. She was very knowledgeable and went over my options in different situations and asked me how I ...wanted to proceed. I always felt that Barbara put 100% effort and fought hard for me. She also had another lawyer in the firm work on my case and I saw the same effort and knowledge. Her office was very responsive, when I emailed most of the time I received an email back within minutes. When I called their office, they answered their phone and were available. In the end I was able to come to an agreement and avoided going to trial. I was extremely happy with the way Barbara handles the case.
