JARED PINKUS BALANCES FIGHT, FIRE & COMPASSION - BEST KEPT SECRET ON THE NORTH SHORE

I highly recommend Jared Pinkus who partnered with James Quigley to represent me. They did a fantastic job advocating for my kids and I; applying the law; and putting on a great case at trial in my divorce. They treated me with absolute respect, humanity and dignity everyday especially as a late-de...afened mom with 2 young kids and who gave up my own corporate career to support my CEO type husband and our family. James & Jared fought hard like pitbulls and Dobermans while being honest about what was worth fighting for and never overbilling me. They have compassion and understanding of the pain that divorce causes children and families and made it easier for us. They are truly one of the best kept secrets on the North Shore. Since my ex hired 1 of the big 2 North Shore divorce firms that everyone uses up here, I initially hired the other firm who billed very high and would not let me question their bills. My husband’s firm said I faked deafness and did not need ADA accommodations in court to hear what was going on. I switched to Beermann North Shore. I hope you will consider Jared, James and the Beermann Pritikin Mirabelli Swerdlove firm if such a life transition is upon you. As my day-to-day contact, Jared was outstanding to work with as he listens, coaches and finds solutions while being compassionate and very effective. As a deaf adult, I appreciated Jared's incredible patience in working with me and my invisible disability to ensure that I understood every Skype call, meeting and memo especially when opposing counsel said I was faking deafness. His understanding of technology and business are a bonus.

Great lawyer!

I was extremely fortunate to have Mr. Pinkus as my divorce lawyer. He is extremely knowledgeable, honest and very forthcoming. As a father of four, he helped me through a very difficult process and got me an unbelievable outcome for my family. Not only do I get to see my children more than 50% of th...e time, my support is minimal. I will forever be grateful for Jared and his team at Beerman Swerdlove, including James Quigley. I highly recommend them!

Divorce Lawyer

Jared handled my divorce, provided very helpful advice and we reached a fair (as possible) settlement. I found the advice helpful, Jared was accessible, and found the billing to be reasonable and accurate. I had the distinct impression that Jared strived to provide value in his legal approach and c...ounsel to avoid low value or unnecessary legal expenses.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
