Top notch lawyer - will fight for you and WIN!

I've hired Attorney Gregory Barison twice. First time, I was rear-ended as I stopped on Yellow at an intersection. Attorney Barison negotiated with the insurance company of the offending party and I received monetary compensation in a timely manner. The second case, I was summoned to court for mis...sing one auto-insurance payment and owning a car for a week or two without active auto-insurance - the penalty for this is as far as I recall up to $2k in fees and/or up to 6 months in jail. I again hired Attorney Barison, and he convinced the Assistant DA to drop the charges in exchange for me paying a minor fine and court expenses. I am very satisfied with the outcome in both cases. Att. Barison is the best trial lawyer that I know and I have recommended him to my friends and relatives knowing that he will assertively fight for the client's interests. He is a very knowledgeable, persuasive, and effective lawyer who is always there when you need him!

Trustworthy and Highly recommended

Years ago I met Attorney Barison when I was in a most stressful situation; I had lost every round in a never ending battle with my ex-wife, I was behind my child support payment and my original attorney had suddenly died of heart attack. Attorney Barison studied my case and stepped to the plate, and ...managed to pull off a surprising victory. After the child support case, he also helped me in two other matters, concerning business litigation; this shows he has a wide rage of legal expertise. Attorney Barison's thorough preparation and effective presentation of my cases was nothing short of a tour de force, each time. There were times I couldn't travel to his office because of schedule conflict so he met me in my local train station before and after work and we sat in my car going over paper and plans; this illustrates that he is willing go the extra mile to help his clients. He is clear in his thinking and speaking, results-oriented and trustworthy. I highly recommend him.

Effective Results

After having spent too much money and time trying to collect a judgement in my divorce case, I was ready to throw in the towel and for go the settlement I was granted. I was referred to Greg Barison by a reputable attorney in Boston who assured me if anyone could help me it would be Attorney Barison.... I like his professionalism and his direct style and he was highly effective in my very difficult case. I will undoubtedly recommend him to anyone who is faced with a difficult or seemingly unbalanced situation. He is on top of the case and gets results.

Best lawyer.

I was going through a divorce when Gregory Barison was suggested by a friend. He is professional and knowledgeable. I was extremely happy with how my divorce was handled by him. Years since then I feel comfortable to contact Greg for any basic legal advice and he always responds within minutes. I wou...ld definitely recommend Greg to a friend!

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"Greg was my classmate at law school and we reconnected a number of years later when we tried a case against each other. Since then I have referred a number of clients to Greg and, without exception, they have been pleased with his representation. Recently I gave one of my clients who needed a divorce attorney Greg’s name along with the names of several other attorneys. The client elected to retain one of the other attorneys and several months later asked me for some additional names. I encouraged him to reconsider Greg and he subsequently told me that that was excellent advice. I am flattered that Greg has referred clients to me and if I ever get into a pickle myself, his name is at the top of my Rolodex."

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I retained Matt and Greg Barison to represent close family members in the defense of a civil litigation matter. As a litigator myself, I was impressed with their aggressive but yet cost-conscious representation that resulted in a favorable settlement. I have also known them both for over ten years and endorse them as highly ethical practitioners."
