Fee-gouging and forced to settle my divorce.

Jeff basically decides once he's looked at your assets what percentage of them he wants. I was advised to concede on everything my ex wanted and Jeff just kept taking more money for his firm. He didn't go to bat for me, I felt completely underrepresented and he was no match for my ex's attorney. H...e had no creativity and no negotiations skills. He's condescending and plays on your emotions. There were many tax implications he ignored, and in the end I had to just settle and pay off my ex in order to stop the bleeding of cash to Jeff. I could not have been more disappointed in him or the judicial system.

Please contact me at my office (617-542-5542) as soon as possible to discuss this negative review. I do not believe you are a former client of mine as the purported facts contained in your review are unfamiliar to me. I have disputed your review as being posted by someone whom I've never represented. In the event that you are in fact a former client of mine, I look forward to hearing from you to address your issues in an appropriate manner. Thank you, Jeffrey A. Soilson

Hired Jeff & Carlos - it was a great decision

* 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.

Jeffery’s most important client

I feel that I received the best advice possible for my particular situation. Working with Jeffrey led to a swift resolution. I now believe that deciding to work with him and Fitch was the best judgement and investment of time and resources. I only wish I had done it sooner. Throughout my divorce, it ...was as if I was Jeffery’s most important client. Going through a divorce has been one of the most difficult things that I have faced, and it was a huge relief to have by my side someone who is not only an expert on his field but who is also sympathetic and affable.

Highly recommended

Jeffery was very efficient and detail oriented, professional and extremely thorough in his preparation, and did a great job of keeping me informed. he did a outstanding job at defending me through a highly emotional and stressful time.

The best yet

I spoke to a number of attorneys as I sought counsel for my divorce and Jeff is by far and away the best I spoke to: promptly returned my call; had very succinct and no nonsense advice; and inspired confidence and control.
