Thank you. Attorney John Bulger offered professional assistance to me in an investigation against my license as a massage therapist. I felt he was grounded and practical which greatly helped to ease my anxiety over the mess I found myself in. I was impressed with the letter he helped me write, getting across points in a way I would have struggled to. Again, thank you, I felt I had a competent ally assisting me . He was hired by my employer for me.

Bulger doesn't give up.
John Bulger is a great lawyer. Not only is he responsible and direct (and very smart), he's also extremely caring. My wife and I had a family "meltdown" with an estate issue, but John dug into records and found things we would have never been able to find on our own. He negotiated with a mediator and got us a better outcome than originally thought. He's also a great husband and father, which makes John a person you can trust and feel confident with. Highly recommended.
