Great Attorney
Matt knows the law and is well connected, which is very important. He's a great communicator, not just to me (and my family) but also in how he presented my case in court. I would highly recommend him and would hire him again if I need an attorney.

"Matt is one of Boston's rising criminal defense lawyers. I have had the pleasure of working beside him on a few cases in Boston. He's smart, determined, and compassionate. I cannot think of a better lawyer to have on your side."
"I endorse this lawyer. attorney Barison is a zealous advocate for his clients and respected within the legal community."
"Attorney Barison is a professional and courteous advocate, and I am pleased to recommend him on a broad range of issues from criminal defense to negotiating and civil matters. Matt works hard for all of his clients and is amiable as opposing counsel."
"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."
