Disappointed and will report Driscoll.

4 months and haven't seen I spec of process on my case. The only thing I hear after tracking home down is "just waiting on a phone call" He can't even produce a invoice of what he's done. The two times I've asked he states "my assistant is out" so I call the office phone and his assistant answers? ...When asked about the invoice or break down of services I get "the account is out today". Am I being scammed?

Consult with Mr. Wilfred C. Driscoll, Jr. first! He is Professional, Knowledgeable, Respectful, Ethical, Reasonable, etc.

I met Mr. Wilfred C. Driscoll, Jr. at his law office in Fall River, MA in Fall of 2017 to discuss details about my divorce case. He calmly and respectfully listened to the background of this case and then offered different solutions which were applicable, and lead to getting the divorce approved and ...legalized in the Family Court of Taunton, MA. Very professionally, he explained the fees which he will charge to handle the case, from start to finish. Like many other law firms, he has a written agreement which is to be reviewed and approved by his law firm and the prospective client, prior to the initiation of the case. Mr. Driscoll even went as far as explaining the process of filing for divorce, as it applied to my case, and equipped me with all the relevant information so that I could file the case by myself. I never felt pressured to hire this law firm, which speaks to the professionalism and experience of Mr. Driscoll’s career as an attorney. I would highly recommend anyone reading this review, who is looking for legal advice and services, to contact Mr. Driscoll!

Civil business litigation

I was both a defendant and plaintiff in counterclaim in a long-running, complex civil case which was tried before a jury in the Bristol County Superior Court over a period of four weeks in June 2011. Atty. Wilfred C. Driscoll, Jr. was my lead counsel in that litigation. Atty. Driscoll’s performa...nce in my behalf was excellent. He expertly prepared and argued several pre-trial motions. His opening of the facts of the case was clear, concise and cogent. His examination of witnesses called by the opposition demonstrated the weakness of the opponents’ claims. He also presented relevant, convincing testimony from witness which he called in my behalf. His closing arguments were spirited, on point and compelling. Overall, I was very impressed with Atty. Driscoll’s professional demeanor, his ability to relate to, and obtain needed testimony from, even hostile witnesses and his extensive knowledge of the applicable substantive law as well as the court rules. I recommend Atty. Driscoll, without hesitation, to anyone who needs a compassionate, knowledgeable, experienced and skilled attorney to represent them in a complex civil matter.

Thank You for EVERYTHING!

Where do I begin? I cannot thank Attorney Driscoll enough! A couple months ago I was received a call from another lawyer saying I was needed at the court house. I was confused by the charges against me and hurt because I though of these people as family. I called a friend of mine to confide in him... and he, without hesitation, refereed me to Attourny Driscoll. This was the first time I had to defend myself in a legal way. I stayed up all night and got as much info together as I could. I wrote down answers to all the charges against me and made notes of things to ask because I didn't want to forget anything. When I showed up to Attorny Driscoll's office with a PILE of paperwork that would have, I thought, taken all week to sift through he was welcoming and very patient with me. He went through each page, each paragraph, each sentence with me. I was NEVER at any point rushed. He seemed very companionate and understanding to my nervousness. I went into his office very confused, hurt, and worried. After leaving his office I felt calm, I felt safe, I had a clearer head and understanding about what was going to happen. His concern for my welbeing didn't stop the second I left his office. That night he called to check in on me and many times during the week I would receive a text to see how I was doing. Attorney Driscoll DOSEN'T treat you like a file on his desk, he treats you an indevidual.... he makes you feel important, and although he has many clients when you are in his office he makes you feell as if you are his only client. Thank you Attourney Driscoll for everything you have done. Above and Beyond my expectations!

Litigation and Legal Expertise

Attorney Driscoll represented me in a most serious matter. The case required a four week full day jury trial. There were several defendants in addition to myself. The Plaintiffs were looking for millions of dollars. At the conclusion of the trial my lawyer convinced the jury that no judgment shou...ld issue against me. We won. I could not be any happier.
