Jennifer Roman lies to the public

While on a local news z podcast attorney Roman has blatantly lied, she while working the Read court case made a claim that another reporter was given a brand new Lexus by Karen Reads bro to pursued his follower’s along with a prospective jurors? By this Tim the state police etc. went through Kearneys... bank statements etc and it was proved the reporter bought Veh. himself! Seeing the type of law she practices I now wonder if I’m going to use her on my own legal issues. Do ur research guys there are many many good law abiding lawyers in Massachusetts.

Opposing Party

Jennifer comes in full throttle making unfounded & harmful accusations against the other side that may yield initial results, but as proceedings continue and trial arrives she loses stamina. She may prepare great motions, or, hold a thorough deposition, yet she lacks not her preparation, but being ab...le to read the judge, courtroom and overall direction at that moment. I don't believe she understands her client's weaknesses is happy to take their money and simply focuses on their desires, I find this approach to be a recipe for a let down client. Of course talented but also lacking in being able to think on her feet. A GREAT attorney prepares but can also switch gears at crucial times as a result of the natural unpredictability in the court room-I found this element hugely lacking. She also struggles to rise to the respectful unspoken interaction with other members against the bar and shows emotions in what I believe to be an unprofessional way.

Knowledgable and Kind

I'm deeply grateful for Jennifer's guidance throughout my not-quite-typical divorce process. I sought her out because of her family mediation experience, as I hoped my (now ex) husband would be amenable to mediation. Despite my ex not being willing to negotiate at any level, I still wanted to be repr...esented by someone with a mediation mindset but who was also adept at litigation. I knew from the get-go that Jennifer was the one. She is highly skilled and professional, wise and clever, sensible and astute. Beyond her stellar legal dexterity, she’s incredibly kind and compassionate. Also, she’s part of a talented legal team, which I think is an asset (especially for trickier parts of a case where it’s helpful to have others to weigh in). Jennifer was there for me every step of the way, and I would recommend her in a heartbeat!

A Terrific Professional

Jennifer represented me through some very difficult and emotional times. At all times she was prepared, attentive, and effective. She did this while always being professional in every way. But she also made the process human, was supportive, and clearly made me feel as she was the captain on my team.... I was thoroughly and thoughtfully represented and could not recommend her more highly.

Highly recommended

After being foolish enough to attempt to deal with my divorce without representation I ended up in a less than ideal situation. I was lucky enough to have Jennifer Roman recommended to me by another attorney. Her knowledge of the law and ability to incorporate your individual needs are outstanding.... She got the entire case back on track, kept the children and their needs at the forefront of the negotiations all while protecting my best interests. The case was settled in the minimum amount of time for which I was incredibly grateful. The entire office is easily reached for questions or concerns and everyone works very hard to keep things moving along. Jennifer is an absolute pro with navigating the complex court system and keeps you informed during the entire process as to what to expect. I hold her in the highest of regard and would not hesitate to recommend her
