Results with no drama

Robert helped me through the divorce process with my children as the priority exactly how I had asked, and delivered good results.

Look no further!

Thanks to Attorney Robert Setterbo, I am now divorced with full custody of my daughter, who has started Kindergarten this year.. Thanks to his representation, my daughter and I were able to move on from this unfortunate and mentally tolling life event fairly quickly, and closer to recovery. It was li...terally life changing for me when I got to sign on with him. His legal representation was solid, reliable, and honest at all times. He was clear about what I could expect, what would probably happen, and what needed to be done. (And in the end he was right about everything that he could tell me.) He was reassuring, but at the same time kept me real. It was just what I had needed. In communicating, he is very prompt in responding to any questions that come up, and overall extremely reliable. I would recommend him to family and close friends without an iota of doubt! (And if by any chance at all he is not available to take your case, Kathryn at the same firm Wilkinson & Finkbeiner would also make for an excellent choice. His paralegal Anna was also super competent and thorough.) One of my biggest considerations in searching for a new lawyer was the legal fees. It was a vulnerable time, because my daughter was involved and the stakes were high, and at the same time I was on a budget. How could I possibly find someone to put what seemed like my life in their hands? It seemed an impossible and daunting task to me at the time, especially after having such a negative experience with my former lawyer. That was until I got to speak with Robert. From the beginning, it was clear that Robert is great at what he does, not to mention his empathy, honesty, and professionalism that I was shown throughout the whole process. He is definitely the kind of attorney that you want on your side, and can trust with your divorce. His razor sharp mind + the bonuses of sensitivity and integrity will make the process so much more easier for you. He is a rare find, and I will be forever grateful to him and Wilkinson & Finkbeiner!!. It is a privilege to have him represent you in court, and surely your choice will not be regretted!

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.

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.
