Excellent representation!

Meredith is an amazing lawyer. She is quite skilled at both family law and estate planning. She deftly handled every aspect of the always confusing and often challenging divorce process. No divorce is ever easy, but mine was particularly complex, involving enforcement of a prenuptial agreement my ...ex and I signed in another state over 20 years ago and a complicated co-parenting situation. In short my case required a great breadth of knowledge. Her ability to not only understand and apply the law but to also effectively manage all the personalities involved was nothing short of astonishing. In addition, Meredith has cultivated a network of highly skilled specialists who were always available when I needed them for an appraisal, tax analysis, etc. She is articulate, composed and highly professional both in and out of court. She truly made the impossible possible and now that my divorce is over, I look forward to having Meredith help with my estate plan.

Divorce

My divorce was complicated and difficult. Meredith was instrumental in determining the alimony allowed. The process was overwhelming and lengthy she explained in detail what I was to expect. In the final settlement her knowledge proved to be most effective. I was comfortable working with her duri...ng an emotional period of my life. I would highly recommend her for legal representation.

Meredith was my divorce attorney when I was going through my divorce two years ago. She did a great job representing me through the process. She was very knowledgeable and very helpful answering all of the questions that I had. I would highly recommend her for anyone going through a divorce.

Very happy with my lawyer Meredith Stratford. It was very difficult case and she pulled me through it..

Meredith has represented me for over two years for my divorce and post-divorce cases. I was immediately impressed with her knowledge of Mass family law and her ability to make clear and concise arguments for my case. After two years in mediation, my ex-wife hired an attorney who took extremely unre...asonable positions on all issues relating to my daughters and their financial support. He dragged the case out unnecessarily and there were times I wanted to give into their unreasonable demands just to put an end to the fighting. Meredith refused to let me agree to an unfair settlement or to be affected by the other attorney’s bullying tactics. She is quick to respond to my emails and telephone calls, even if they are on weekends or after business hours. I have always felt that she cared about my daughters and I and doing what was best for us. I was referred to Meredith by a friend and I am extremely thankful that I was. Sincerely Paul

Excellent Lawyer!

Meredith Stratford is a very committed attorney. She is a very hard worker and extremely good at keeping her client informed. Meredith was amazingly thorough with her advice in my custody case. I found Meredith very capable of keeping me focused on each step of the process which I considered to be qu...ite intimidating. Throughout the process Meredith was empathetic, however she had the ability to keep the broader perspective in focus for me was extremely helpful as I had so many worries laying on my mind. Meredith was quick to respond to my emails and telephone calls, even if they are on weekends or after business hours. I was referred to Meredith by a close friend and I am extremely thankful that I was. Meredith has a great combination of kind, hardworking and of unquestionable integrity. I would highly recommend Meredith as I believe one would be very fortunate to engage her services.
