Claudia is confident,outstanding professional lawyer.

Claudia Lagos,she's not a just a exceptional lawyer,she's caring and worries constantly about her client. I was desperately to find a great lawyer when my immigration lawyer referred me to Claudia...she highly recommend.! My son was charged with in 4 cases of armed robbery she's all ready won 3 o...f the 4 cases! So there was not a mistake she's surprised our expectations;she just amazing,words can explain enough about her professionalism...big heart and she all ways on the top of everything. 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.

Exellent Representation - OUI dismissal

First, let me start off by saying Claudia is an exceptionally thorough and skilled lawyer. I am also a lawyer and I chose her to represent me. That says something, out of the 100's of lawyers I know, I chose her. Everything she did was on point. She is well spoken, intelligent, knowledgeable, anal...ytical, the list goes on. If you want to hire an attorney who is sharp and not just going to "wing it", Claudia is a great choice as your lawyer. The OUI case I had was dismissed, thanks to her hard work and skill.

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."
