Laurel E Bretta

I cannot say enough good things about my experience with Laurel Bretta, my bankruptcy attorney who accepted my case on a pro-bono basis. From the very beginning, she made an incredibly stressful and overwhelming situation much easier to manage. Early in the process, I realized that Laurel has a ve...ry deep understanding of human problems and compassion for what people encounter when they know bankruptcy is the only option. She talked to me with so much compassion and such a deep understanding of human nature and my unique circumstances which I had never verbalized to anyone that I could not help but cry. I could not help but trust her. Exceedingly early in the process, Laurel took the time to explain the entire bankruptcy process in clear detail, answered every one of my questions, and always made me feel comfortable and respected. She worked so hard for me, one would have thought that I was paying her a tremendous sum of money to manage my case. Laurel’s communication was excellent — I could always reach her when I needed guidance, and she kept me fully updated on the progress of my case. What stood out the most was not only her great knowledge and professionalism, but also her compassion and understanding. I never felt judged, only supported. Everything was managed efficiently and smoothly, with no surprises along the way. Thanks to Laurel’s guidance and extraordinary skills, my case was resolved exactly as she had explained it would be early in the process. I highly recommend Laurel Bretta to anyone considering bankruptcy. She is professional, knowledgeable, and cares about her clients. Throughout the process, Laurel was so concerned about how I would manage financially after my case was closed. This impressed me so very much. Her concern for me and my family extended far beyond the bankruptcy process and closing the case; she actually cared deeply about how we would survive after the case was closed. She even made suggestions regarding things we might do, which enabled me to calmly plan. Laurel turned one of the hardest times of my life into a manageable, even hopeful, process. I shall never forget the wonderful experience of working with Laurel Bretta.

I have already left a review for Attorney Bretta a couple of years ago. The fact that I'm writing once again is a testament to how wonderful this lawyer is when working on your case. Attorney Bretta has done some cases for me in the past, but this present case is by far one of the most extensive and... sometimes frustrating cases I have ever been a part of. Attorney Bretta has offered a constant source of information, knowledge, and especially patience when handling this most difficult case. I can honestly say I have never doubted anything she has and is doing in this matter, and it is quite evident how much she cares while pouring all her effort into each case she takes on. I cannot emphasize enough how thorough she is, and she takes your case knowing she will give you her best work moving forward. I highly recommend hiring Attorney Bretta for all your legal needs. You will not regret it.

I can't speak highly enough about Laurel Bretta of Bretta Law Advisors, PC. I was in a real mess and in way over my head with the Mass Dept of Revenue and estate tax forms that needed to be filed upon my mother's death, and having absolutely no clue how complicated a process it can be. From my first ...meeting with Laurel, I felt assured that she was the one who was going to get the job done. And that she did! Laurel was prompt, always accessible, very responsive, knowledgeable, experienced, understanding, and calmingly confident. Staff member Paula was professional, helpful, and pleasant as well. Can communicate via phone, email, or text which is extremely convenient. I'd use Laurel Bretta's law practice again in a heartbeat, no hesitation, and as a matter of fact, I intend to use her law practice to help me with my estate planning to avoid any potential headaches for my son and granddaughter.

One of the smartest people I've met in my entire life (not hyperbole). Laurel Bretta is pragmatic, strategic, and has a wealth of both legal and financial and institutional knowledge. Not only that but she knew all the judges and lawyers we faced and how to best appeal to the judges as well as mane...uver the opposing counsels tendencies. The day I walked in her office was one of the hardest of my life, but Laurel guided me out of that hole seeing the path to take with the speed, clarity and efficiency. Laurel new which bankruptcy to best protect me with. She was always well prepared, punctual with filings, and never gave her hand away to opposing counsel. She was highly recommended to me by a very smart attorney, and that recommendation was spot on. I still remember the one description of her by that attorney being "She's a very Smart Cookie" and he couldn't have been more right.

I have retained the services of Laurel Bretta in 2 difficult real estate transactions in the past year. The first transaction was a family estate sale of the home I and my siblings grew up in. Emotions ran high and the process was a power struggle from the beginning with my siblings. Laurel introduce...d logic, calm influence and professionalism both in written and verbal discussion with opposing attorney for my siblings. It was contentious but resolved itself quickly under the cool and calm guidance provided by Ms Bretta. The second transaction was an onerous short sale that lasted 6 months. Laurel proved to be invaluable in protecting my interests versus the realtors and the 2 lien holders. I would not hesitate to recommend Laurel based on her experience, sharp intellect, tough negotiating skills, sound and practical advice and compassion for her client.
