“Thank you so much for handling this matter and for taking care of my mother's needs. You quickly earned my confidence in your counsel and responsiveness, and I never hesitated to contact you when I had a question. You made the process smooth and stress-free, for which I am grateful.”

“I was completely satisfied with our experience with your firm. Harry was terrific—an insightful, trusted and responsive advisor. It was also a pleasure working with Eugenia. Many thanks!”

“We were treated with great warmth and respect by the entire staff, especially Harry Margolis and Eugenia Andrade during a most difficult time. My late husband and I entrusted our future to as fine an elder law firm as exists in Boston.”

“Just a quick note of appreciation for all the hard work of the last year and a half and the years preceding… The peace of mind that you have brought me over the distance of more than 5000 miles, though we have never personally met, has been a great blessing to me in my last chapter.”
