Smart. Professional. Effective.

I was referred to David after losing significant time and money with another attorney. Immediately, it was obvious that with David on my side things were going to be different, he listened to my story, asked incredibly good questions and quickly formulated a plan to begin the divorce process. More im...portantly he quickly put his strategic plan into action – in two months he brought me further than my other lawyer had in a year. For the first time during this experience I was in good hands. He positioned my children and I for the future, securing college expenses and my home. The peace of mind David gave me was priceless, and the success he had remarkable. During the process David always kept me well informed – I knew precisely what my options were and what to expect. David is a straight shooter and a consummate professional who is respected, respectful and remarkably effective. I can't thank him enough for his hard work and dedication on my behalf.

False/Malicious Abuse Prevention Order - Dropped!

Summary: David was great to work with, he knows the local judges well, has great connections at the area courthouses, and couldn't have been a better attorney for me and my case. As a native Mainer, I learned a lot about Massachusetts law last Fall when I dated a seemingly nice girl from Beverly...... who went completely insane (had an actual degenerative health issue). After I had to call the police on her in Maine, I blocked every way of her communicating with me. After about 2 weeks, she filed a Abuse Prevention order in Salem, MA, stating I had been tracing her phone, tracking her with GPS units, and all sorts of other outlandish (really crazy) accusations. One day the Police just showed up to my house and handed me a restraining order. At first I thought "no problem," I clearly did nothing wrong, I'll go to court and just make my case..... THEN I started reading about the laws and how the judicial system in MA works in this scenario and I thought "*CRY* My professional life is over!!." I immediately contacted David Broderick, who spent way more time with me than I expected, preparing a very, very thorough case. The affidavit was so nutty, we had to spend a lot of time clearly disproving every insane point in there, which we did. We went through every text message, every voicemail, every phone record and ended up putting together a case against the order and getting it dropped. I couldn't thank David enough!

contempt/child support modification

I have been dealing with the court system for years now. My ex-wife has made my life miserable. Time and time again I would retain a lawyer only to feel like they were working for her. This last time my wife suggested David, with great apprehension I agreed to consult with him. Once the initial m...eeting was over and David had time to go through the many many layers of paperwork he was able to give me clear cut information, options and guidance. I spent months dealing with a simple modification. David went above and beyond to make me feel like he was on MY side. Even if the news wasn't always good, he was honest with me and by doing that saved me money. He never candy coated anything, never lead me on to think I may win big. Listed the pro's and con's and not once did he pressure me. He was an absolute gem to work with. I am a very jaded man as far as "the system" and lawyers go but having David representing me changed all that. He is not only the best lawyer I have ever worked with, he is also a good friend. He never nickeled and dimed me. He went above and beyond in every way you WOULDN'T expect a lawyer to do. I highly recommend him. He's smart, loyal, kind, and the best attorney I have ever worked with!

Family Law: Honest , hardworking lawyer.

Attorney Broderick is a great attorney. I retained him as representation for my recent divorce and was very pleased with the results. The start of the divorce process was stressful for me and included a huge curveball (an unknown restraining order) and Attorney Broderick handled that noise with ea...se and helped get the whole process back on a smooth track with the wife's attorney. He is a great communicator, responsive and was very transparent in covering all facets of the divorce. He laid out a multitude of options with detailed pros and cons of each option. I never felt any pressure or felt like I was being forced into decisions. His straightforward negotiation style helped facilitate a quick and easy divorce saving me time, anxiety and money. I am very grateful to have had him on my side. I would wholeheartedly recommended David to friends and family and would definitely work with him again.

Highly Recommended

I assume my situation is somewhat common in the family law field, but to me it was a complete unknown. I had a contempt charge filed against me for breach of my divorce agreement. I have never been served with any sort of papers like this. Needless to say I was very anxious and apprehensive. Atto...rney Broderick made an uncomfortable and stressful situation much more bearable. He not only heard what I told him, but really listened. He understood my trepidation and went that extra mile to explain each step in the process. There were no surprises! Attorney Broderick's legal expertise, representation, and compassion for my situation has put me in a much better situation and has enabled me to finally close that unpleasant chapter of my life. Attorney Broderick is highly competent and hard working. I hope I never have to go back to court, but if I do it is comforting to know that he is just a phone call away.
