This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Exceptional

My ex wasn't fulfilling the terms of our last agreement. Daryl was very honest and open with me about my case, and provided clear directions as to how to proceed while preparing for future modifications. He's very hard working and professional, and responds in a timely manner. I am extremely happy wi...th the outcome of this case and look forward to working with Daryl again for a child support modification. I would highly recommend Daryl !

Knowledgeable, professional, and Excels Clients Expectations

Attorney Abbas's professionalism and demeanor excels attorney client expectations. He diligently advises clients with his knowledge of law and is sensitive to the nature of family law. His conscientious timing of contacting clients and passion for his craft is shown in and out of the courtroom. I tra...vel an hour for Attorney Abbas's expertise of family law, his attentive presence, and HIGHLY recommend people in and outside of the Boston area.

Consummate Professional

Daryl was very helpful in bringing my case to a fair and just conclusion. Despite the process taking over a year (as a result of the defendant's tactics) Daryl diligent, and displayed the utmost patience. He was always very clear in his communications, and kept me up to speed on everything going on w...ith my case. I would recommend his services to anyone in need of a lawyer!
