Exceptional

Jacks professionalism, knowledge, attention to detail was incredible. He assisted me in getting my license back sooner than was originally ruled. I provided Jack with all the details he requested during our initial meeting. He guided me through the entire process, and also let me know what to e...xpect so I wouldn't be caught off guard. Jack was great at updating me and communicating with me everything that was going on. He was very detailed in his presentation to the Board of Appeals, using all the information I gave him. I'm thankful for his representation and would highly recommend him to anyone.

Highly Recommended – Incredible Attorney

Jack Greene is without a doubt the Best Attorney you can have! I had an IID violation which resulted in a multi-year suspension of my license. It was an unfortunate situation with mitigating circumstances. It did not involve alcohol, yet the offense was treated by the RMV as the Most Serious offense.... I retained Attorney Jack Greene for the fight against the RMV and to present my case to the MA Board of Appeal. Jack came highly recommended by a prominent Attorney, who stated even he could not match Attorney Jack Greene’s knowledge and expertise in dealing with the RMV. Jack represented me in my appeal to the MA Insurance Board of Appeal in Boston. My case was a difficult one for sure. The law was clear, but Jack believed in what he was doing and how he would approach the appeal. I cannot be more grateful for how Jack handled this. He KNOWS the entire scene. The players, the process, and exactly what to do and how to present the case. Another thing about Jack is that he was completely honest with me, I mean completely. I knew he was not taking my case just to get the business, he was taking my case because he would use every means that he had to represent me and go for a win. Jack presented a Great written and oral package to the Board, as well as guiding me in my approach with the Board Members. My case got Modified and my suspension was Expired. My status was set back to where it was before the event. We won! The Most import thing I can say about Jack is that he treated me with such Respect. He was truly interested in who I was, where I came from, what kind of life I have led, what kind of family I have. He was adamant about making sure he knew me as a person AND that the Board of Appeal knew me as a person. Jack stayed close and in constant communication with me which was very reassuring. My case was specific to the RMV and Board of Appeal, but regardless of the area of the Law you need, Attorney Jack Greene’s expertise and passion is what you want to have for your defense. Thank You Jack for an incredible effort!

HIGHLY Recommended!

I've used attorney Jack Greene with more than one issue against the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. His candid ability to breakdown and explain in simple terms the legality of any situation is very much appreciated by a subpar student such as myself. I have yet to have an unsuccessful outcome when usi...ng Jack to represent me which is why I will not hesitate to call him next time I need any legal advice or representation. And I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to family/friends. Just this pass month Jack represented me in an OUI case against The Commonwealth where his cross examination of the arresting officer could not have been more thorough! Im convinced that his hard work and ability to breakdown all the facts in my case were imperative to the successful "not guilty" ruling the judge handed me. Jacks knowledge/abilities as an attorney are second to none! It's like I said before I wouldn't hesitate to pick up my phone and give him a call.

Professional, personable, to the point

Can't speak highly enough of Jack! From my first consultation, to the finish, he was just the person I needed for my case. Honest open and forthcoming. I was in a tough position with the RMV, as well as the merit board however Jack patiently helped me sort through, step by step of what I was facing... and guided me in the right direction. He was very personable and extremely knowledgeable to my particular circumstances and was by my side throughout! His kind reassurance and to the point attitude is remarkable! Always answered my calls promptly and was readilly available to answer any questions or concerns! If ever in a tough spot Jack is the one you need!

Won RMV Appeal and got license back

The RMV had denied me my hardship license after the Quincy court said I was eligible. My DUI lawyer referred me to Jack (John). He met with me right away, no waiting, to appeal the RMV decision. He said I have good case and got clients with much tougher cases their licence back. He came to the a...ppeal with me and presented my case, which was the first case of the day. He put together a good case which he read concerning my job, family and reasons why I need my hardship license. Two weeks later I got a letter in the mail stating, the RMV is to reinstate my license. He does a lot of business at the appeal building and he is well known there. I felt comfortable and confident having Jack represent me during the appeal. Also, Jack would always answer my phone calls, emails and texts right away which was important to me.
