Claudia still working on the four case,I'm sure she will win this one too! Couse her knowledge...she put all her effort preparing for trial and tthe same time,worrying about all of us make sure we are calmed when we should bitting our nails. If anyone needs criminal attorney,just hide her and let her do job.

Friendly, knowledgeable and thorough, highly recommended.

Claudia represented me for an alleged abuse prevention order violation in Bristol County. From the beginning Claudia was supportive, explaining the complex legal details of the case in a manner that I could understand, she was aware that I had not broken the law and prepared the case and prepped me... for trial. Unfortunately the trial was delayed due to scheduling issues at the courthouse; however Claudia used this time to discuss the legal details of the case with the prosecutor. At some point it became apparent to the prosecutor that Claudia had prepared a solid defense and that should the case go to trial, the Commonwealth would not have been able to meet their burden of proof. This ultimately caused the prosecutor to Nolle prosequi the case. Claudia put a lot of effort preparing for trial and produced exhibits that would quickly convince a common woman or man of the weaknesses in the prosecution’s case. Claudia is friendly, knowledgeable and thorough; she knows how important each case is for her clients. I highly recommend attorney Lagos, you don't want to be a defendant representing yourself at trial.

Wonderful

Claudia represented me better than I had imagined. I couldn't believe all information she acquired before our trial to make it as seamless as possible. I trusted her judgment and decisions throughout my court process. She was able to successfully prove my innocence. I would highly recommend her to an...yone. If and when needed again, I plan on her being my attorney.

Cannot thank Claudia enough; skilled, highly intelligent and professional

With this being my first run in with the law, I was terrified about what to expect, what was going to happen to me and how the whole legal process was going to proceed. I reached out to a friend and asked them to recommend a good lawyer and Claudia’s name was mentioned and highly recommended. ... During my first meeting with Claudia, I went in expecting just a bunch of lawyer lingo that I wouldn’t understand and would still just be left in the dark until a judge or jury decided my fate; well it was the exact opposite. Claudia was warm and welcoming and within the first meeting she already had a very good idea of how to approach the case and was able to explain things very clearly to me, which was a huge weight lifted off of my shoulders. Within a week of gathering all the paperwork, facts and witness statements, she had already created a solid plan of action, a plan of action that eventually lead to my victory with the case getting thrown out; even if it ended up going to trial I was confident we would have won due to the insanely strong case she had built. My case went on for about a year, which most cases like mine often do. Claudia was always ahead of the game and kept me informed and updated every step of the way. Having someone this prepared, caring and professional kept me confident and reassured. Along with alleviating my own fears, my anxious parents were constantly asking me to speak to Claudia, and I really didn’t want to them to bother her with their questions but when I mentioned this to her, she was more than happy to do it and made sure they were always kept in the loop. I really cannot say enough good things or thank Claudia enough for the success in my case and fighting for my innocence. There is a professionalism and honesty about her that you hope to find in all professions. If it is your first time in a legal situation or you are looking for the best, I would highly recommend Claudia Lagos.

"I had the privilege of being supervised by Attorney Lagos while practicing as a student attorney at the Committee for Public Counsel Services, and I cannot overstate how much I benefited from observing her vast knowledge of Massachusetts criminal law and her masterful advocacy skills. Working with Attorney Lagos made me a better lawyer, and anyone in the Commonwealth who has the misfortune of being accused of a crime would be lucky to have her as an Attorney."
