Emmanuel J. Dockter

Emmanuel Dockter erased all my cynicism about lawyers He never polished his own star to get my business, or ran up my bill as others had done. Instead he patiently listened to my whole divorce soap opera so he could really understand every angle of my case. He then put together a great strategy in fr...ont of the judge, that was so hard to argue with, the other side just had to settle. He called me up numerous times during the trial to address my concerns and tell me not to worry. "You are going to win this case," he said And I did.

I will never forget my first conversation with divorce attorney Emmanuel Docktor, because it delivered me from so much soul crushing anguish. He was first of all very empathetic from the word go concerning my brutal custody battle. Secondly he grabbed the bull by the horns saying some brilliant thi...ngs that lifted my spirits & feeling of confidence. He invested plenty of time talking to me about his legal strategies but surprisingly never overcharged. He was collegial with opposing counsel, masterful in front of the judge, brilliant in his cross. He achieved total victory, and thanks to him I can sleep at night.

I highly recommend Mr. Dockter. The only reason I didn't put excellent for all rating is because he has room to grow, which one only gains through experience, which no doubt he will do. Where Mr. Dockter is younger he will become a truely excellent lawyer with time. But in the meantime he gains kno...wledge with his resources. I saw an individual who cared for people. One day in court a person needed help in figuring out which office to go to and Mr. Dockter took the time to help this person. I have seen too many people ignore people who need a helping hand but not Mr. Docktor he went out of his way to help them. I was proud to have a lawyer do that. I knew I had an excellent lawyer from that moment on.

I have had to deal with a few lawyers over the years for family/child support matters, usually very disappointed with the promised service and expertise. I no longer live in MA but had to get a lawyer and not wanting to go back to the previous lawyer I had used, I went online and put in a few calls t...o attorneys, Emmanuel Dockter, called me within 15 mins of my original and it didn't stop there, he kept me informed every step of the way and represented the outcome of my case honestly and accurately. Emmanuel renewed my faith in dealing with an attorney, my case is done and children are all grown but if I were in the position to need an attorney again, he would definitely be my choice. I have to mention this, I also received the unused portion of my retainer back, never has that happened. I am very impressed with the honesty, thank you Emmanuel!

I would highly recommend Attorney Dockter in all matters probate/family law. He is extremely knowledgeable in his discipline and takes a level headed approach by not waisting your time or money. He will always give you his honest opinion with legal outcomes, while respecting your beliefs. Lastly, ...in my observations (in court proceedings), Emmanuel has already earned the respect of his peers including Judges, Probate Officers and GAL's.
