On top of her game

I was immediately impressed but her attentiveness and responsiveness as she handled my case. She is quick to demonstrate her knowledge of how to get results, and maintains great communication throughout the process. I could not have resolved my case without her!

Best Of The Best

Claudia Lagos is by far the best attorney I have ever had the privilege of working with. Unfortunately my circumstances have forced me to be in contact with many attorneys, and Claudia's enthusiasm, knowledge of the law, professionalism, and courtesy make her the best of the best. Claudia fought har...d to resolve my situation, using her broad spectrum of knowledge to eliminate unnecessary elements of my case, and the outcome was far better than I could have possibly expected. If you are looking for a lawyer in the Boston area, call Claudia first, I promise it will be one of the best decisions you ever make. It certainly was for me.

Boston's Claudia Lagos, a current and rising star in the criminal defense arena.

Ms. Lagos is, by far, one of the best attorneys I have ever met, nationally and internationally. Ms. Lagos has proven herself incomparable in terms of her legal knowledge, inclusion of those she represents in the planning of defense strategies, professional self-confidence and professional energy. ... Persistent and thorough, it became evident to me very quickly that Ms. Lagos applies herself wholeheartedly and with great skill to each and every case and client. For legal defense issues in the Boston area, I cannot recommend anyone more strongly than I can Ms. 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."

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.
