In it for the long haul
I had two cases going at the same time with two different people both had me quit distorts there were times over the year and a half almost two that I was ready to give in completely if it were not for Tanya I would have settled and lost everything. I asked around and got Tanya’s name from a friend. The consult was easy and I hired her at the end of the consult. I emailed over every little thing in the beginning and probably the entire time and she was able to give me quick and concise advice as well as file things quickly. In the courtroom I felt overwhelmed every time I had to speak I just followed Tanya’s lead and stayed calm cool and collected. She was also quick to respond when the other Attoney was attacking my character. I came out getting the best out of both my cases even the judge congratulated Tanya. If it were not for Tanya I would have loss my home and not gotten a fresh start at life. I highly recommend going for a consultation Tanya is phenomenal!

Don’t rush the process Trust the process
When I first met Tanya I was several years deep into this divorce battle. I am a very intense individual who is at times alot to handle however working with Tanya showed me that if you are patient and trust her instructions and take her advice you will get the outcome you deserve. She is very clear and honest and will go absolutely full force for you if you allow her to. I cannot thank Tanya enough I went from monitored visits when I started to joint custody and involved in schools,Drs etc

Child custody and support
I not only recommend attorney Tanya M. Gravel, but I guarantee once you have used her service you too will look no further. She responds in an extreme timely matter, she is a very knowledge, trustworthy person. There is no other attorney that will work as hard for you. I used Mrs. Tanya for custody and support, she is a wonderful attorney I could not have been happier and I will never go anywhere else. Thank you attorney....

Custody and child support
Tanya helped us develop a custodial contract in an amicable way that made sense for both of our schedules. She also assisted me in the child support hearing by clarifying what documentation was needed and the impact it would have on the overall spend. She was candid throughout the entire process as to what could and could not be done.

Great lawyer
Tanya is very down to earth, hard working, won’t fill your head with lies just to take your money. She’s very honest and willing to help whenever possible. Highly recommend! Never made me feel guilty when other male lawyers did. I have nothing but POSITIVE things to say about Tanya Gravel.

Tanya is great!
I was previously working with a lawyer that had a lot of years of experience, but he kept telling me I did not have enough evidence against my son’s mom to get placement of him. I talked to Tanya and she filed an emergency motion and I was awarded placement of my son immediately. She has helped us so much with ongoing visitation issues and our case is now closed and my son is in a safe place. If I need a family lawyer again sometime in the future Tanya will be the first person I call!

Hired for speeding ticket defense.
I talked to Tanya about a speeding ticket I had received in Massachusetts. She was very professional with me throughout the consultation. She explained the court process and her planned defense. Her fees were made clear and easy to pay. On the day of the court hearing, she showed up on time and cleared up any questions I had. I was very happy with her defense and we received a favorable outcome.

Not efficient, Proficient!
My attorney; and I dare to call her attorney because I’ll reach out to her if ever find myself unfortunate enough to fall into circumstances, went above and beyond what any other attorney would of considered their duty. I came to her troubled over a moving violation that I could of simply paid off but would of stained my record. This wasn’t a feasible option to me because of one of the career paths I’ve chosen, I would of be branded and disqualified from progressing. She used both her knowledge of the local legal system and her gifts of persuasion to not only shed grace on my character to the judge but also the officer (which was an absolute gentleman as well). Nonetheless due to the success of her efforts I’m able to move forward into becoming what she open-mindedly perceived me as (an aspiring pillar of the community) versus a typical rebel without a cause. She simultaneously projected that image of me to those that were to legally judge me as well as gave me the opportunity to aide less fortunate victims. By doing so, she proved she’s not just a hero, but make them as well. I thank every star that led me to come across her to represent me because she not only did so but put me onto a greater path than I was able to initially fathom. Wherever you are? With a heart filled palm, I say thank you, although words fail to completely articulate my gratitude.

The Best Dual State Attorney in New England
Ms Tanya Gravel was highly recommended to me for my Child support case. Ms Gravel was very professional, caring and had extensive knowledge of all laws relating to family court support laws. Ms. Gravel worked my case from beginning to actual going infront of the Judge. She negotiated with courts to a reasonable solution. I would like to recommend her for any family matter or legal services which you would need legal representation.

Professional and very helpful!
I had to go to traffic court for multiple speeding tickets which could of landed me a 1 year license suspension along with 60 hours community service, 60 hours driver retraining, and $1000 in fines. She was able to help me escape with only a 30 day suspension and $500 fine. Not only that, but she was very patient and understanding when my car engine would not start the morning that I had court! I had to Uber, and therefore was late to the trial. Highly recommend Tanya.
