Thanks a million

I called Ted and told him I was on my way. I let him know that I was very hungry, and he assured me that he'd have some food available. Ted didn't disappoint, when I knocked on his office door, he greeted me with some steaming hot biscuits and peanut M&M's. After we discussed my case, Ted played t...he drums for me. He's a very talented musician. It was quite an experience interacting with such a fine gentleman. I was feeling very overwhelmed but Ted assured me that I was in good hands. I plan to invite him to my daughter's wedding.

Beyond all expectations

Ted Harrington helped me with DUI case in Chicopee District Court, August 2018. The case was not simple and I was really frustrated as a person who is totally not familiar with criminal world. Despite of all complications of my situation, he was able to resolve the case with the best pos...sible outcome. His professionalism, intelligence, abundant expertise made my case successful. In addition, his personality made me feel secured and , simply being in good hands . He provided emotional support to me and my close ones during all stages of this long process. Now, when case is over - his takes care until I will have my license back. This review is for people who is scared, frustrated and feels that life is falling apart because of tough situation - just reach out to him!

First Class

Ted is a very personable and approachable individual as well as a very accomplished lawyer. We have hired him on two separate occasions and he was consistent in guiding us through the lengthy and complicated legal process in a language that we could understand. He always kept us honest in terms of th...e possible scenarios that we would be facing but in a manner that kept us at relative ease. . He displayed a confidence in the court room and a talent for thinking outside of the box which ultimately brought both cases to a very successful conclusion. A five star rating which is thoroughly deserved

Professional, Brilliant, Affordable, and most important Honest! Highly Recommended

I hired Ted Harrington for a complicated case, involving criminal and immigration implications. Ted made the process very clear from the first phone call. Ted was always there (via text, email, phone call or in person meeting) whenever I reached out, he was ready with a full explanation of any questi...ons or concerns I had. Ted was the most knowledgeable attorney I've encountered in my long process with immigration and I reached out to over three lawyers. Ted knows the law and process, and was very clear and honest that there was a pathway for my case despite what others had told me. He had originally explained that my case could take time. and these cases often take patience and perseverance, He worked tirelessly for me and was professional, positive and encouraging throughout the process. And I recently received naturalization for citizenship. I would highly recommended Mr. Ted Harrington

  • 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.
