Willing to take my difficult case

My son's father and I went through a very difficult custody battle, wherein we were largely fighting over jurisdiction, as Robert is a duel appointed attorney he fit my need to be represented by CA, as well as be represented in MA. He was very down to earth, kind, understanding to a fault, and he had... my child's best intentions in mind the entirety of my case. He was an unknowing mentor, and he helped me tremendously when dealing with such a rough part of my life. I have recommended him to people, family members included, and will continue to, as he is a champion for what is truly best for the child in any case.

Divorce Case

Robert took over my case after another attorney completely neglected it. These situations are stressful enough on their own, and I reached out to Robert at a time when that stress had been amplified so much by the previous team. He and his coworkers were consistently supportive and courteous. ... Robert gave me honest opinions and realistic expectations without making me feel like I had no control over the outcomes in this process. He and his team were easy to work with at any given time even though I was in a different state throughout this process. They were quick to respond and kept me in the loop. I highly, highly recommend Robert. He was a pleasure to work with and I'm incredibly grateful to each and every member of his team who worked together to get me the best outcome. Thank you.

Highly Recommended

Robert was extremely helpful and tactful in consulting me and helping me with my child support cases. He went way above and beyond to assist me in what I seem to think is an unfair system that penalizes fathers who want to make a contribution. He made sure that I was not taken advantage of and made t...his stressful situation of mine of my back. I highly recommend his service and he is trustworthy.

2017 divorce case

Attorney Setterbo represented me in a divorce I went through over the course of 2017. Although I had only been married a short time, the other side was aggressive in going after my assets, and attorney Setterbo was extremely helpful in meticulously pushing back on their arguments and negotiating thor...oughly on my behalf. He spent a fair amount of time customizing the separation agreement and was very responsive over email and phone consultations. Ultimately, the case was resolved in a manner that was very fair to me, in no small part to the efforts expended by Mr. Setterbo.

Seeing the light....

My custody case was dragged out for over a year before I found Robert. I interviewed a few attorneys in Boston and felt comfortable with Robert after our initial consultation. Robert and his team worked very quickly to rectify a few things in the case in a matter of a month. I couldn’t get child s...upport for the longest and I’m not sure why but Robert quickly was able to have the court approve child support. He also acted quickly advising me on a matter which was time sensitive in regards to seeking a child evaluator to be involved in assessing child custody and visititation for my child. Thankfully Robert advised me to act quickly or else I would have been on a very different track with my child custody case. Robert is very honest and will tell you the truth about what he thinks in regards to the case. He is smart about his approach and will discuss with you his thoughts and options. Thank you Robert.
