Lifesaver
Ms Mass is the most amazing attorney I've ever met. Her personality, knowledge, her detail oriented, and special care for me as her client make me felt so safe and secure. She gave me direct answers Yes or No. She gave me the knowledge about the law, things that I can do or can not do. She gave me her opinions but never push me to make any decision by her. She helped me be able to fall asleep at night knowing that I am in a good hand and she is really taking care of me. My divorce was finalized and I super happy with my settlement. I got everything that I've asked for. Big thanks to Ms Mass for helping me closed the chapter and start my my life. Thank you Thank you Thank you!

A true professional and kind person
Nancy Encarnacion Mass was a pleasure to work with. I hired her after my initial consultation with her to represent me in my divorce. I could have not gotten through this without her knowledge, professionalism and kindness. She is an expert in her field and I would HIGHLY recommend her, and I have, to anyone needing help during a difficult situation.
