Best defense attorney!

I hired attorney valerio for 4 separate criminal cases, 1 juvenile, the other 3 adult. These were very serious felony cases that would have put me in jail for many years. He knew some very obscure and esoteric legal rules and precedents that allowed me to get CWOF's on all 4 cases. He knows the attor...neys and other legal professionals in the area and they seem to be very willing to work with him. His services were not cheap but he is worth every single penny and then some!

Best Defense Attorney in the State of Mass.

I met Mr Valerio in 1997 while going through a grueling custody battle over my Daughter. Not only did he take control over a serious situation that was spiraling beyond control, but eventually was able to get me connected with a team of his professionals who eventually won me custody. Today I use hi...s firm for any and all legal matters . John Valerio is Acceptionially skilled at what he does ! You won’t be disappointed!

Best in the business

Mr. Valerio has handled all of my family's legal issues since 2005 and has achieved the best possible results in every case. He has handled a wide array of different issues and every time he always makes you feel as if you are his number one priority. Although his fees are a bit steep, he is worth ev...ery penny. Valerio's legal advice is truly priceless.

Respectful, Caring & Fierce

I had the pleasure of meeting Attorney Valerio, when I had a legal problem. As soon I contacted, Mr. Valerio he made me feel as though I was the most important client he had ever had. Although my incident was very minor compared to the cases, Attorney Valerio handles. I can say with certainty that he... is a wonderful, honest Attorney. He is the best in the business and has great relationship's with all local Attorneys, District Attorneys and Judges. This is something that one should truly consider if you are ever find yourself needing a criminal defense attorney. He is creative and looked at all different angles of my case. He is also not afraid to really fight for his clients. I could go on and on about him, I highly recommend Attorney Valerio to anyone that is looking for a criminal defense attorney.

A fine attorney and a gentleman

John is an excellent lawyer, in my opinion, and I am a lawyer. John represented my young adult son in a criminal matter. He has a quality that all really good lawyers have -- he practices law intuitively. He has a solid command of both strategy and tactics, yet he stays flexible and responds crea...tively to changing circumstances. His calm, professional demeanor was a real comfort to my son. And it is no small matter that he is liked and respected by his colleagues including the folks in the DA's office.
