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.

Bankruptcy pro Bono. Ed Shea

Attorney Laurel Bretta and her team were wonderful. Laurel took my bankruptcy case on pro Bono. Laurel was very thorough and represented me excellently. I am currently dealing with some disabilities but she was so kind, patient and helped me through step by step. She did a great job I have to ment...ion she was never judgmental of me and did nothing but send kind words of encouragement.Laurel did not have to take my case but she did and I will forever be grateful. So this was a great Christmas gift for me. If anyone needs representation I would give Laurel and her team 20 stars if I could.

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.

So supportive and compassionate!

Attorney Laurel Bretta was such a blessing to me during a Very challenging time, as I had to file for chapter 13 bankruptcy due to a divorce and other family crisis’ all happening at once. I was so overwhelmed by my situation but Laurel put me at ease and supported me throughout the entire process. ...She was able to have much debt eliminated and a payment plan set up for the rest so that the situation became much more manageable for me. I am extremely grateful for her support and highly recommend her if you are in need of a bankruptcy lawyer. She will help you to get to a much better place!
