She is intense, an encyclopedia of legal knowledge.

Barbara Black is the best divorce lawyer I have used. She defended me and my family vigorously, intelligently and deftly. She won full custody of my children for me against long odds. She knows the laws and the ways of the probate court and uses that knowledge to full effect to help her clients. I en...dorse her as the best choice one could make when in need of an excellent advocate

Couldn't be more satisfied

Having never gone through a divorce before, I had no idea what to expect. Barbra gave me the education I needed and turned a very emotional and stressful life changing event into something tolerable. I always felt comfortable calling her for even the smallest detail and she was very responsive and ...managed to calm me down at the same time. She was tough and persistent and left no stone unturned and always protected my interests as if they were her own. Barbra gave me the confidence I needed to stand up for what I wanted and to go after it. My divorce was somewhat complex, no children but many properties in different states, a business and many investment accounts were involved. The outcome of my divorce was very fair and Barbra managed to get me the settlement I wanted. Choosing the right attorney makes all the difference in the world and I would absolutely recommend Barbra if you are looking for an experienced and knowledgeable divorce attorney. I feel very fortunate to have found her. Now that my divorce is over, I think I will actually miss her.......well, maybe not!!

Black Law Group

I hired Barbra to represent me in a contempt case. I was very nervous about it based on my previous experiences in court. She assured me that I had a good case and that there wouldn't be any problems. She did win the settlement and it happened exactly as she told me it would. Barbra was very prof...essional. She was always on time for appointments and would make them on short notice if need be. She was also flexible in that we met most of the time over the phone. She was very reassuring through the entire process and very tenacious when dealing with the opposing attorney which definitely drove to a speedy and positive outcome. Apart from her law knowledge and skills, I felt I was treated very fairly and respectful from her and the entire office staff. Barbra was very generous with her time. So often I felt like I was being overcharged by previous attorneys with no result to show. I didn't get that impression at all from Barbra. In fact, it seemed she spent more time on the case than I was charged. It was satisfying knowing that I was not being nickeled and dimed to death. My only regret is that I didn't know of Barbra and hire her for my divorce. I highly recommend her and would hire Barbra again if need be.

Barbra Black

I will be forever grateful to Barbra Black. She was recently hired to resolve a highly contentious divorce. I highly recommend her and urge anyone looking for a divorce attorney to choose her as your first choice. It will be worth every penny spent. She settled the case when another attorney c...ould not. She made sure that the case progressed in a timely manner and I felt I could call her at any time throughout the process. She and her team are responsive, professional and walked me through my case step-by-step. She was able to work well with my ex husband's attorney to solve the case when another attorney I hired failed. Thanks to Barbra's guidance and expertise I enjoy living in my home today. Thank you Barbra for your hard work! It is appreciated.

Divorce

After 3 months of working with a big Boston divorce attorney and several trips to court and thousands of dollars later, my old Boston divorce attorney DIDN'T get me anywhere but thrown out of the marital home. I knew it was time to find a new divorce lawyer. Someone who was going to be in control and... fight for me. Luckily, I was referred to Attorney Black by an attorney I worked with. During this very difficult time in my life, I knew attorney black was finally going to handle my contested case properly and I knew I was in good hands. Her strategy was absolutely rock solid. Thank you for your dedication, patience and all the hard work you did during this emotional rollercoasterride. AR
