It was refreshing to be talking to someone that really cared about the situation I am in. She was not there to sell herself but to tel...l me what isthe best action I can take given my situation. A fresh, honest lawyer that cares 9/10

"Charlene is among the elite as a family law attorney in Massachusetts. She is honest with clients and has a great reputation with the courts and other practitioners in the area. She can be tough when necessary but always maintains her sensibilities for being fair and reasonable. In my experience she always cared most about resolving cases in a manner that was least intrusive for her clients. Also, due to her psychology background she is able to really connect with clients and can understand their emotional as well as legal needs."

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
