Highly Recommended

I strongly recommend Attorney Joshua Bearce for anyone starting the divorce process. He handled my case with extreme professionalism and gave me all the important advice I needed. Important to know that sometimes the advice you are given is not necessarily what you want to hear but he explained in ...very clear terms why and helped me understand the details. Through his hard work I was able to get a divorce agreement I can enjoy. My situation was complex dealing with false accusations and a difficult asset division. He made this difficult situation go by very smoothly. Thank you very much Attorney Bearce!

Evaluation

Attorney Bearce is an up-and-coming family attorney in Massachusetts and New Hampshire. I retained his services toward the commencement of his probable meteoric rise in the legal ranks. His technical and administrative skills are very impressive, and he is organized and prepared. He communicated... his knowledge and ideas in a clear and concise manner, and was not averse to telling it like it was - managed expectations quite well. Kudos to you for a job well-done.

Supports Smart Advice, Excellent People + Legal Skills

Attorney Joshua Bearce is one of the best and most responsive lawyers I have worked with. He is extremely bright, provides great advice and understands how to develop a focused strategy to optimize a legal situation for his clients. My situation was rather complex and Attorney Bearce put togeth...er an excellent plan to clarify + simplify tactics with focused execution and responsive follow-thru. He was great at explaining legal language and translating legal details so I understood important details. The legal result for me was positive and in line with my goals for the legal issue I endured. Hire Attorney Bearce, you won't regret it.

  • 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.
