oreclosure prevention
Oh absolutely I would recommend this attorney. He helped me prevent a foreclosure situation on my home. He is truly vested in his clients' best interest. He's like a bulldog...kind of unassuming, but packs a punch if he has to. Love him, won't use anyone else.

Great Lawyer
He is a great lawyer. He helped me threw my divorce quickly and was quick to explain the process to me. He is very knowledgeable of the law and does not beat around the bush, he will tell you how the courts will rule and if your settlement is fair. He save me a lot of time and aggravation in court.
"John Boucher is a tremendous lawyer. I would trust him to represent me. John has the intelligence and skill necessary to take on the government in criminal prosecutions. He served his country as a Marine, he is a veteran who understands the system from both sides. A truly effective advocate."
"I endorse this lawyer. John is a relentless and talented trial attorney. One of the things I respect most about John is that is willing to fight for his clients and go to trial when necessary. If you want a seasoned trial lawyer who will not back down, John is your man."
"I endorse this lawyer. Mr. Boucher is a friend and fellow attorney. I have known him for over 6 years. He is a very competent and aggressive attorney and he has had much success in criminal cases."
