Thomas J. Taranto

Having to contact a divorce lawyer is not something to look forward to. The LAW OFFICE OF THOMAS J. TARANTO made the process straight forward and easy to navigate. Attorney Taranto handled the divorce proceedings with the utmost professionalism providing transparency, timely follow-up and on-going st...atus changes. He helped me to prepare and handled my case according to my needs and wishes. I highly recommend that you contact Attorney Taranto if you are seeking an experienced divorce attorney

I highly recommend Tom. He's been my lawyer in divorce proceedings, and has been effective, knowledgeable, helpful, and understanding throughout the process. His understanding of the court requirements, familiarity with judges, and suggestions on potential solutions to difficult problems, made him in...valuable. I can't thank him enough, and you are likely to experience the same.

I have been working with Tom from beginning to end of my divorce for a total of well over four years. Tom represented me with 100% success through numerous motions, two trials and one appeal. I could write a book about it, but I will keep this short. If I could summarize my thoughts in one sentence I...’d say you do not want to be on the other end of the table with Tom. I was very fortunate to choose Tom as my attorney, and he did a great job. Tom never lost focus throughout this long period, and he treated every step of it with the urgency it deserved. I learned throughout this period (from my case and from spending so much time in court) that for an attorney to be successful it is not sufficient for him/her to just be knowledgeable of the law. A successful attorney needs to have experience, credibility and be respected with, and by, court officials. A good attorney needs to understand what Judges value the most and how to communicate the essence of the problem appropriately. Tom possesses all those attributes. Tom has the ability to take ownership of your case as a professional, but act on it as if you are his family member for whom he needs to fight tooth and nail. Tom’s intensity was the same at the end as it was at the beginning of the 4+ years. Everything got done on time. Every single phone call of mine got answered. And even though this was an extremely stressful period, I had peace of mind because I knew I was in good hands. Personally, I can’t thank him enough, and I hope this review will help others make the same good decision I made in going with Tom.

Thomas represented me in my divorce settlement and was very impressive in his knowledge of the Mass divorce laws, negotiating and strategic skills. Thomas was nothing short of a true professional. He handled extreme adversity he ran into in my case calmly and proffesionally. He was responsive to my ...questions, gave sound advice, was very fair with legal fees and helped me come to a successful outcome. He shows compassion, dedication and is completely ethical in his work. I would highly recommend Thomas Taranto as an attorney.

So do you find yourself married to a not great person (Avvo is making me be nice here)? That was dumb and from here on out you can't afford to be dumb. Hire Tom now! He guided me through a very tough divorce and custody battle. We went through two lawyers on opposition because he so firmly handled th...e first one. Tom knows how the other local lawyers operate and can give you insight into how the judges tend to rule on various issues. We were always steps ahead and in the driver's seat for the entirety of the proceedings. Every trap they tried to set and issues that were being conjured up fell completely flat because Tom is that damn good. So next up in the don't be dumb category, listen to and do everything he tells you. You hired a lawyer for a reason. Tom will give you a very realistic prediction on what you can and can't get in a divorce. Not listening to him will only cost you more money and jeopardize your chances of a favorable outcome. Opposition started at an unrealistic position and was forced to give ground while we stood firm. Opposition will try to paint you in a flat out false and damning image. Listen to Tom and keep your cool. Most importantly if you are a man going through a divorce immediately hire Tom and follow everything I've said above. I had the privilege of being the primary parent and raising my children but that's not always the case for men in this situation. Tom will be able to very accurately tell you what your best chances of custody will be and by staying realistic, with that outcome in mind you can better control where things will end up. Lastly, Tom has a secret weapon. Her name is Maria and she rocks. She put in time when ever I needed it, guided me in mitigating issues before they could arise and jump ahead of the nonsense BS that is about to be hurled your way. I won't divulge her trade secrets but she gives an amazing female insight as to what I (and you) will be up against. These two together are a dynamic duo. So to recap, stop being stupid. Hire Tom and Maria, listen to them, do everything they say and don't be dumb. You've been through enough and deserve to start your life over. So strap in, sack up and batton down the hatches you are in for a bumpy ride. With these two on your side you can weather the turbulence. Tom and Maria I thank you, my children thank you, my extended family thanks you and my new family thanks you.
