Jeffrey A. Soilson

* After doing homework on Avvo, Lawyers.com, and Martindale I interviewed 6 lawyers by phone and 4 in person. This was expensive since most charge for the first consultation. You can save homework by relying on mine. * Jeff and Carlos were among the most knowledgeable of the people I interviewed (a...mong an already highly rated group). After hiring them, their negotiations were excellent and they anticipated multiple problems in proposals from the other side. * Importantly, they are very level headed in an emotionally charged contest. My ex spouse frequently made unreasonable demands based on emotion and pushing limits just to see what she could get. * They are not cheap. Mediation might be better if the other side is reasonable. If you need a lawyer, however, you'll need talent and skill and you'll get what you pay for. When it was all over, I was surprised to learn the other side paid much more for what I perceived to be less quality work. * I recommend Jeff & Carlos without reservation.

I've had a years-long divorce and subsequent custody battle, where my ex-wife was physically harming our child, so I know court and I know lawyers. My previous lawyer was vague and sometimes unresponsive, even in such a serious circumstance, so I resolved to find a lawyer that would truly help. I... read the reviews on here and made an appointment with Attorney Soilson. The difference between him and every other attorney I've dealt with was night and day. He didn't speak in generalities or hypotheticals---he discussed the kind of solutions my actual judge is prone to selecting, he recommended options and experts BY NAME, and he anticipated so much of what I needed to know that it was stunning. Where many lawyers might say: "To get to California, you might drive, or take a train, or even fly", Jeff says "The quickest way is to take American Airlines, the tickets are cheapest on Tuesdays, the best pilot is Lou, and the taxis are expensive at LAX so take an Uber." I felt so fortunate to have found him, after previously having the nagging feeling that my lawyers were uninformed, unfamiliar or uninvested. And as high-end as he and his firm obviously are, I was surprised to see that he isn't a shark; he often pushed me to look for areas of compromise, where I'd be comfortable giving, because the reality is that co-parenting is a long-term thing, and gladiatorial domination in court doesn't facilitate a good home-life for the kids. Even in my situation, being "take-no-prisoners" doesn't help your children when there are resolutions to be had. Jeff's tone reflected that. Bottom line: as a Dad who needed serious, emergency help, with my children's well-being on the line, Jeff's help was priceless. He is the best.

Jeff is nothing short of a true professional. I was immediately impressed with his wisdom and experience after only talking to him for five minutes during my initial consultation. Prior to talking with Jeff, I contacted several other attorneys in his area as I "shopped" for representation. All of ...the other lawyers I talked to gave me the basic verbal script and the impression of the typical divorce attorney...concerned about nothing more than your ability to pay. Being an active duty male not collocated in the Boston area I knew it was going to be tough to find someone that would advocate for me. Jeff and his team was always there for me. He would almost immediately return my phone calls and e-mails. There wasn't one instance were I felt left in the dark on anything that was occurring with my case. Additionally, I have experienced many challenging things in life, but nothing prepares you for the emotional rollercoaster of a divorce. Jeff was always there for me, and always provided me with very sound wisdom...WHENEVER I needed it. There were many false and erroneous accusations against me in order to strengthen her case and limit my interaction with my child. Jeff used this to our defense, and during my negotiation with the apposing counsel his poise and knowledge of the law absolutely prevailed. Ultimately, being a person with a well established career and many of years invested into it this was going to be a divisible asset. Through Jeff's impeccable negotiating skills he was able have me retain ALL of my retirement, inheritance and personal assets at an absolute fraction of the net worth. Lastly, and most importantly he was able to establish and solidify a superb co-parenting plan for me. I am nothing short of grateful.

Jeffrey Soilson, and his associate Rob Boutwell, provided terrific counsel and support to my sister and I as we addressed a complicated and distressing extended family situation. They gathered information in a sensitive manner; they were very good listeners. They understood our goals, which were no...t solely monetary. Complex information was patiently communicated. We were encouraged to ask questions. They responded quickly to all communications. They made every attempt to be efficient with their time. Having them in our corner allowed us to stand up for ourselves and address wrongs. They assisted our decision making by explaining our options and the pros and cons of taking action. Their judgement is based on broad experience and extensive knowledge. When an issue outside of their expertise arose, they encouraged me to pursue additional legal advice and provided me with a referral to an expert. I felt completely comfortable and confident taking their advice. They worked well with other family members' lawyers. Their leadership in this matter facilitated a resolution that met my sister's and my needs and also satisfied everyone involved.

Jeff is a consummate professional who consistently provides me with excellent legal representation. Jeff's work ethic, attention to detail and overall sense of urgency is hard to find. Jeff also has an extensive network of arbitrators, financial and tax colleagues to lean on, which I found extremely ...helpful. Jeff makes himself available to his clients day and night and is always available to provide great advice and counsel.
