Outstanding

I can't say enough about Attorney Tomasino. She is kind and compassionate and is truly knowledable with the law. She listens and presents herself as a strong advocate. I had a great experience with her handling the matters at hand. Alisha and her excellent associate Alana are truly 5 star attorneys a...nd I would not hesitate picking up the phone to contact her for any reason. Thank you for all your assistance.

This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Outstanding Lawyer and Person

After our blended family moved to MA several years ago, we started searching for a local family attorney to represent us in case we ever had any issues. After doing some research, we decided to meet with Alisha because of her strong bio and credentials. She got us in for a free consult and appraisal ...of our situation right away, and we were as impressed by her in person as we had been by what we had learned on-line. As soon as we had established MA State residency we made her our new family attorney and we could not have made a better decision. Over the years Alisha has given us great legal advice and has always been highly professional, responsive, attentive, and caring. A few years after we retained her, when an issue arose during the end of year holiday season, Alisha immediately said “don’t worry about this at all – I’ve got it. This is why you retained me. Go enjoy your holidays and don’t give this another thought.” We referred every call or letter about the issue directly to her from that point on, and within a few months the entire thing had been resolved in our favor. A few years and additional well-handled issues later, Alisha (aided by her excellent associate Alana) was able to arrange for my wife to adopt our child from my previous marriage. Throughout the years, Alisha has always been there for us. She listens, she knows the law, she is a strong and powerful advocate, she gives great legal advice, and she cares. We would highly recommend Alisha and her practice to anyone.

Excellent legal counsel

My divorce was complex and unique. Yet it was apparent to me from the onset, Atty Tomasino's well versed knowledge pertaining to Massachusetts Probate Laws, Atty Tomasino would offer me the proper guidance and direction, to fairly present my case to a successful conclusion. This also gave me comfor...t and the confidence, to know that Atty Tomasino due diligence, integrity and professional demeanor, that I would be well represented during the most difficult period of my life. It's apparent to me, as I closely watched Atty Tomasino inside the settings of the courtroom, that Atty Tomasino is well respected amongst her peers as well as court room personnel. Atty Tomasino communicated with me regularly, answered all my emails and returned phone calls in a timely manner. Overall, i was extremely pleased with the counsel I received from Atty Tomasino and would highly recommend her services to any person searching for expert guidance on probate matters.

Most laywers are no good

I met Alisha one day in court after my divorce was final and I was still having issues with mt ex wife. Alisha was very patient with me and listen to my situation. Once Alisha found out the details of what my situation was and gathered all of the facts she tried tirelessly to settle my situation wit...hout a trial. To no preval we ended up in front of the judge fir a trial. Alisha was extremely prepared and did a perfect job during the trial. I have tremendous respect for this lady as a Laywer and better yet as a friend. My comfort level grew each and every time we had to get together in such a difficult situation. I would recommend Alisha to anyone in need of a divorce attorney. She is not all about the money like most attorneys this lady is wise beyond her years. Thank you again Alisha for everything and congratulation and best of luck with you new baby Joe

top notch across the board

Alisha made a difficult period much easier for me. My divorce was very contentious with a former spouse that was unreasonable and difficult to deal with. Alisha gave me peace of mind and was always available to explain important aspects of the case. I always knew we'd go to court or meet a deadline b...ecause she was always well prepared and pays attention to every details. In addition to being able to apply law favorably, Alisha has other skills that are critically important: - relates well to opposing lawyer and even your ex-spouse - presents well and has credibility in front of the judge (attributable in part to her excellent track record) - effective negotiator Excellent lawyer and highest recommendation.
