First I would like to state this is the only law firm that got back to me when I was looking for representation. Right off the back James and his team answer any questions that I have regarding my case, before I even sign to work with them. Whenever I call or email them I would get an answer back in a timely manner. They are very personal and personable as well, the charges that I was facing could have mess up my livelihood. The way things are happening in the world I wouldn't be able to survive. I was facing 6 months suspension and now I am only facing 1 month suspension and saving lots of money. I suggested my family member to James Law firm and they are pleased as well. If I didn't use them I don't think it would have turned out as well as it did. If I know if anyone that is looking for representation I will tell the to use them. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR TIME AND ENERGY

If you find yourself involved in a Hillsborough municipal case, have no experience with the law and the court system, and need immediate and professional legal advice, the team in the Law Offices of James Abate (Ah-bah-tey) in Somerville is highly recommended. John Portanova took my first call and carefully explained the situation I faced. James Abate led my case, meeting with me in the office, reviewing the facts, and acting on my behalf to mitigate my case with the prosecutor during two hearings. James is an experienced defense attorney with local Hillsborough/Somerville court knowledge. He has a patient, zen-like approach to considering options, and in my case, allayed my concerns via a reasoned approach, and was effective in achieving a fair and helpful outcome. I am thankful for his service.

I had a wonderful experience with Mr. Abate and his entire staff. He sounded confident and calm and said that he would definitely be able to help me. This made me feel the same and not worried. When my case was over, I called him my heroe and he still is! I am definitely recommending that you trust your case to Mr. Abate!

How do I choose a lawyer?

Consider the following:

Comfort Level
- Are you comfortable telling the lawyer personal information? Does the lawyer seem interested in solving your problem?

Credentials
- How long has the lawyer been in practice? Has the lawyer worked on other cases similar to yours?

Cost
- How are the lawyer's fees structured - hourly or flat fee? Can the lawyer estimate the cost of your case?

City
- Is the lawyer's office conveniently located?

Not sure what questions to ask a lawyer?

Here are a few to get you started:

  • How long have you been in practice?
  • How many cases like mine have you handled?
  • How often do you settle cases out of court?
  • What are your fees and costs?
  • What are the next steps?

Want to check lawyer discipline?

It is always a good idea to research your lawyer prior to hiring. Every state has a disciplinary organization that monitors attorneys, their licenses, and consumer complaints. By researching lawyer discipline you can:

  • Ensure the attorney is currently licensed to practice in your state
  • Gain an understanding of his or her historical disciplinary record, if any.
  • Determine the seriousness of complaints/issues which could range from late bar fees to more serious issues requiring disciplinary action.
