Exceptional Legal Representation – Highly Recommend!

I had the pleasure of working with Jack Greene, and I can't say enough about the outstanding job they did on my case. From our very first meeting, they were knowledgeable, professional, and genuinely invested in helping me achieve the best possible outcome. They took the time to clearly explain ever...y step of the process, answered all my questions thoroughly, and kept me informed throughout. Their attention to detail, strategic thinking, and commitment to my case made a stressful situation much more manageable. Thanks to their hard work and expertise, we achieved a result that exceeded my expectations. I truly felt like I had someone in my corner who cared and fought for me every step of the way. If you're looking for a lawyer who is dedicated, sharp, and truly exceptional at what they do, I highly recommend Mr. Greene.

Hire Jack!

After separating, my Ex-Wife made a false assault accusation against me to gain leverage in the divorce., and I was arrested. Additionally, she took out a 209A restraining order. A retired Judge recommended I contact Jack Greene. Jack and I had a candid discussion about the case, and immediately I kn...ew that he would represent me better than anyone else could. He talked me through the best strategy possible, for the best possible outcome, and explained what was going on every step of the way. He was thorough, patient and understanding in answering my questions, and used my feedback to adjust the strategy as necessary. These unfortunate situations are deeply emotional and stressful, judgement is often clouded and decision making is definitely inhibited. Perhaps most importantly, Jack was able to provide prudent legal and personal counsel to me when my emotions stood in the way of clear thinking. Through his expert legal maneuvering, in and out of court, Jack saw that my name was cleared and the charge was dismissed. In a situation such as this one, there is no better friend to have than an attorney like Jack Greene. I'm more than happy to give him my strongest possible recommendation.

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 hired Jack for A&B charges. He was recommended to me and I am glad he was. He met with me within hours of contacting him. He was very professional and honest. I had 2 charges he got 1 dismissed and 1 not guilty. I have never been involved in anything like this and was very nervous and scared bu...t he made me feel at ease through the whole process. I was given his cell number and was able to contact him with any questions at anytime and he would always respond quickly. He is a very good attorney and I would highly recommend him to anyone.

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!
