The Best!

Brian was my lawyer for family court. He is a supportive, dedicated and talented lawyer. I am extremely happy with the outcome for my daughter and I. Before working with him, I felt helpless and scared about my situation. Even at my first meeting with him, I felt empowered. Even now, I feel in contro...l of my situation and have a good understanding of my rights.

Fantastic Lawyer!

Before meeting with Brian, I felt extremely hopeless as I perceived my opponent was too powerful for me to prevail. During my first meeting with Brian, he radiated confidence and an exceptional level of expertise, compassion and skill in his craft. This combined with his honesty, good humor,... and his care for the outcome for my family was paramount in his motivation, leads me to enthusiastically recommend Brian and his expert team! Despite the odds, we quickly prevailed!

Brian allowed my voice to be heard.

Brian is an exceptional attorney. My voice would have never been heard and I would still be "fighting" with my son's school had I not hired him to intercede. I will always be grateful to Brian for his help.

Hope's Closet

I am very grateful for the work provided by Brian, Ethan and the associates in the law office of Brian J McLaughlin JR. There were many details in forming a 501 (c) (3) and they took care of everyone of them. I truly appreciate all the time and effort he put into obtaining my non-profit status. Now ...our store is up and running, ready to help local charities in Weymouth and beyond.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
