Francis T O'Brien Jr & Vincent Alexander Tofani, Parker Scheer LLP

This case was not my first experience with needing counsel, that being said I was absolutely sure to shop around for my representation. Having been burned in the past by previous attorneys and paying a trial fee for one to two court appearances and an unfavorable outcome, I met with six different fi...rms before making my decision. Eventually I decided on Parker Scheer solely based off of how well my consultation went. Before formally hiring Vincent and Frank, they openly provided invaluable information on my case proceedings and truly solidified my confidence in their representation from day one. My case lasted just under two years and required multiple court appearances, all of which either Vincent and/or Frank were waiting for me in the lobby when I arrived. Throughout the entire case and even after the not guilty outcome was decided, they continued to keep me well informed and provide guidance until my issue was completely resolved. This has been the fifth firm I have ever hired and hopefully/would be the last. I highly recommend this firm as one of the top trial firms in Boston.

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.
