"Mel is an extremely diligent and competent attorney. He is very knowledgeable about the law and works hard for his clients. I have personally recommended him to family in need of his services. I endorse this lawyer."
"Mel is an excellent criminal defense attorney. I worked with Mel on a co-defendant criminal matter. Thanks to Mel's legal mind and work ethic, we were successful with our Motion to Suppress Evicence, and the case against Mel's client was dismissed."
"I've worked with Attorney Heard both as opposing counsel when he was an assistant district attorney and as co-counsel on a criminal matter involving two co-defendants. In both instances Attorney Heard was an outstanding advocate. I'd recommend Attorney Heard on any criminal matter without reservation. He is a very competent and an outstanding attorney."
"Represented co-defendants with Attorney Heard and he and I successfully argued a motion to suppress evidence relative to an illegal traffic stop. A well seasoned criminal lawyer who is very well respected in the courts around greater boston and beyond."
