Christopher A. Carbone

I recently hired Chris to support me with the extension of a harassment prevention order. While we only worked together for a short time, I was impressed by the thoroughness, attention to detail, and empathy that he brought to my case, ensuring that he fully understood the ins and outs of the events ...that led me to pursue the order. In court, his level of preparation was evident, and his arguments succeeded in getting me the best possible outcome in what has been a very stressful period in my life. I’m very grateful for his support!

Chris was ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC. I was in need of legal advice for a matter regarding pet custody (yes pets, not children), and he gave me his time and expertise and advised me on numerous solutions and paths to take. I really lucked out, because he has actually dealt with this type of issue in the pa...st. I left feeling confident, and I am no longer scared of what to expect should my issue escalate. He was funny, educated, and patient with all of my questions. While I hope I do not ever need legal services again, if I do, I will confidently go back. I would highly recommend him to anyone. Based on how he carried himself, and how he offered multiple options and how they may play out, I would recommend him for other types of custody / divorce issues as well. I did not feel pressured or rushed, and everything he said was clear and well laid out to me.

Before I hired Att Carbone, I called and consulted with countless lawyers in MA, looking for the best one to do my prenup, including the most expensive and exclusive ones. But only Attorney Carbone had the forward thinking to point out the very real concerns of my specific case and how to make sure... it would be rock solid if the worst should ever happen in the future. No other lawyer came close to him. He was also the only lawyer that showed true concern about my needs and desire to maximize the benefit and gain to me. He had an intense and profession desire to protect me to the maximum. He knew the law and the legal subtleties of the little details that could burn you. His fees were also far more reasonable that the other lawyers. This is definitely a lawyer that you want on your side of the battle. Highly recommended.

Christopher Carbone represented me in a complicated divorce case and a series of related personal matters. Throughout this process he showed himself to be tough, highly intelligent, and equally precise in large and small matters. He took time to understand my priorities. He was compassionate and cons...iderate of the emotional difficulties of divorce, but also honest about what to expect and what is fair. His principled approach took much of the stress out of the process of divorce.

Let me preface this: I am a Boston College trained lawyer. I'm also smart enough not to represent myself in a highly personal matter, and my case was both personal and insane. I called Chris from California, as my son was abducted and brought to Massachusetts. Chris not only took on my case from afar..., he has continued to work with me (as the divorce cost me dearly, and I eventually needed his help winning another related case involving everything from custody to restraining orders and everything in between). Chris literally waited until, I believe, 2 am. At a jail cell. With my then three-year old son. All so Child Protective Services wouldn't take him into custody, which would have been traumatic for all involved. Even my best friend from law school, also a lawyer but not in this field, would not wait there to do this. Chris appeared numerous times for me in court. He did things that NO other attorney I've ever known would do. I've been behind on bills. He politely reminds me, but never hounds me like a debt collector. He is first rate. I run sales and legal at the largest company in my space. I work with counsel routinely, and even hire them externally for my company. I also had two divorce lawyers in CA that were half as good, and half as caring and invested as Chris. If you want someone who will literally bust his butt, work himself to the ground, loop in every necessary resource, represent you thoughtfully and make compelling arguments in court based on thorough legal research, Chris is your man. Hopefully I'm never in that situation again. But if I am, and it's in Mass., Chris is my guy. He owns his own practice. And he makes you and your case his priority. And he's very reasonable/flexible/fair--not to mention extremely effective in his representation. I have NEVER taken the time to write a review for a lawyer before. In my humble opinion, you are making a mistake if you get sold on another attorney's services over Chris's. And I say that as someone who is not only a licensed attorney, but whose friend network is made up almost entirely of lawyers I spend three years getting to know intimately in law school. I choose Chris over each and every one of them. Apparently it was the right choice. He did what even my own friends from law school wouldn't, prevented traumatizing my son with CPS, and had him back and safely in my arms by the time my flight got into Boston. He passes my bar for loyalty, integrity, work ethic and much more.
