Don't Hire

She has been in so many firms in the last 2 years she stopped listing them on her LinkedIn profile. Cervizzi, Kajko, Callahan Barraco, Halks Firm, Blue Fort, Melcher (no longer on website). Probably more. She will burn through your hard-earned money and waste your time and everyone else's includ...ing the judge.

Problem Attorney Beware

Please do your due diligence before referring this attorney. She ghost calls and is not responsive.

This Aggressive lawyer Took 500. 00 from me and when I met her she refused my case. I asked for refund and she gave me her personal check that bounced for last year and half to this day. This Aggressive attorney stunk of booze at 10am in morning and slurred through whole "meeting " Sent to Bar Assoc...iation via Rep. Mark Montignys office

Not Trustworthy - Zero communication - Does not do what she says she will do

Charlene met with me for 1 1/2 hours to modify a divorce issue. At that time she listened, took all my original paperwork, told I was entitled to retirements + alimony. She told me she would help me. She even hugged me when I got up to leave. This is 5 MOTHS later. I have NEVER heard from her. ... Despite promises from her paralegal Jamie. I tried to be respectful of Charlene's busy schedule. She set up a conference call and stood me up, despite me waiting for 3 hours. She promised to set up a 3 way conference call with the attorney for the company my ex works with + the company who did the retirement review for my divorce. She never did. I have sent numerous emails and made numerous calls and left VM. I NEVER heard from her personally. Her paralegal, Jamie, would call back telling me Charlene will be doing......This is CRITICAL because if my ex files for retirement any day and doesn't choose the correct option, I would get NO retirement dollars should he day the day after his retirement. I trusted her. She is NOT trustworthy. She lied to me at our meeting. She neglected doing what she said she would do. This has been an extremely stressful issue to me because I have no other source of retirement.

Tells it like it is!

Sat down today and went over my contempt/child modification case and was amazed at her knowledge and honesty. She was able to inform me of the direction I sould take. It was refreshing to be talking to someone that really cared about the situation I am in. She was not there to sell herself but to tel...l me what isthe best action I can take given my situation. A fresh, honest lawyer that cares 9/10

"Charlene is among the elite as a family law attorney in Massachusetts. She is honest with clients and has a great reputation with the courts and other practitioners in the area. She can be tough when necessary but always maintains her sensibilities for being fair and reasonable. In my experience she always cared most about resolving cases in a manner that was least intrusive for her clients. Also, due to her psychology background she is able to really connect with clients and can understand their emotional as well as legal needs."
