Thomas J. Cleary

The decision to seek out legal help is never an easy one. It typically comes as a function of some crisis or tipping point when a perceived wrong must be set right. It was just such a moment when my sister and I, seeing no end in sight for our failing mother sought the help of an attorney. Selec...ting an attorney is never without its trepidation or anxiety. In effect one places their trust in another human being, ostensibly with the skill to be an advocate in a largely foreign and confusing environment that has the power to shape your future and potentially carve your life in some meaningful way, going forward thereafter.... Thomas Cleary and the firm of Cohen Cleary came into our lives in just such a manner. My sister is a Massachusetts Social Worker and her colleagues spoke very highly of Tom’s experience, the quality of his work and his background of success with literally thousands of family law cases, over many, many years. My sister and I were not disappointed by Tom’s deep knowledge, warmth experience and tenacity. Tom was attentive and clear throughout our legal journey. He was extremely patient with our umpteen questions, always reached out to us in a timely fashion and never once came across as dismissive or frustrated with our concerns, regardless of their relevancy in law. We knew that Tom had many other cases but part of his skill was making us believe that ours was his highest priority. Perhaps most impressive was the integrity with which he treated us as clients. Even in moments of real sacrifices of time, energy and money, Tom and the firm made client-centered choices that my sister and I know went well beyond what we could ever have expected from other firms or attorneys. You will find Tom to be scary smart, tenacious, patient, strategic, honest and attentive.. You will say to yourself, “I’m sure glad he’s on our side!” Tom and the team at Cohen Cleary are true professionals in every sense of the word... If you are in a serious jam, especially related to family law, or conservatorship, you owe it to yourself to speak to Thomas Cleary first. We recommend Tom and the firm of Cohen Cleary without hesitation or reservation and should we ever need the services of an attorney again, Thomas Clearly and the Cohen Cleary team will be our very first stop...
