Callahan | Barraco - Westborough, MA

I went through a difficult divorce and Attorney Barraco helped me navigate this painful process every step of the way. She is a consummate professional and knows divorce laws inside and out. She always thinks 2 steps ahead of the opposition and fights for your rights. Thank you attorney Barraco.

I was estranged from my husband for four years. He wouldn?t sign the papers and I was at a loss on how to proceed. A friend turned me on to Callahan and Barraco. Laurel Barraco guided me through expertly and helped me get my divorce. I would gladly recommend them.

In 2019 I moved from New York to Massachusetts. I realized that I would have to redo my will because of differences in state laws and purchasing a new home. I wanted to put the house in a trust. I went to Callahan and Barraco. I met with Hannah White. She talked me through the process and was able to set up everything perfectly. I will always use this firm for my estate planning and highly recommend them.

Going through divorce is never an easy process and you quickly realize talk is cheap unless it is with a lawyer. In 2020 I hired a small local las firm to represent me in a divorce. I soon came to the reality that this firm was far from optimal and their only goal was signing clients and collecting retainer fees. I certainly acknowledge that I was not the only firms client and a right to make money but it was evident that practitioner of this firm had no bandwidth which negatively impacts the clients. This firms sub-standard performance delayed the resolution of my case with unnecessary motions costing thousands of dollars in wasted time and money for a simple divorce. After receiving a contempt of court motion based on the firm?s failure to respond to a court order I knew it was time to pivot. I made the switch to work with Laurel Barraco quickly realizing that I did not just hire her but an entire firm of professionals. In one week the team of dedicated professionals covered more ground than my previous representation (or lack of) completed in an entire year and a half. Every deliverable was prepared ahead of schedule free of errors with a flow of information that gave me confidence the firm was working on my behalf. Within 60 days we were at a point of resolution without having to go to trial. I would tell anyone evaluating firms to make sure you have the right size firm for your needs. The Callahan Barraco firm is large enough to go head to head with a larger firm yet small enough to be agile and attentive to your case. The professionals as Callahan Barraco are committed to bringing your case to resolution with the utmost respect to your family, your time, and money.

I worked with Laurel and David during my divorce and highly recommend this firm. They were excellent! Their consultative approach , availability to answer questions throughout the process and ability to work through challenging situations to find solutions was super. I can?t say enough good things. I even had some last minute details pop up and they jumped right in to help me resolve them. Look no further! Hire them and you will have the right experts on your side.

I strongly recommend this firm, I had the luxury to work with Laurel which was a great experience. She was very understanding with what I needed and performed all tasks to make sure everything was reached to my advantage. Very responsive and doesn?t waste time. Thanks Laurel

Attorney Callahan was wonderful! Our case needed a quick turnaround and he responded to us in minutes. He shared personal stories with us and offered comfort and support. We needed an Open Adoption Agreement reviewed and he explained each section to us in great detail and then offered his opinion in the overall document. He was very knowledgable and has experience in such agreements. It made us feel so much more confident with our overall decision in offering an Open Adoption. We are so very grateful to Attorney Callahan and the staff at Callahan - Barraco.

I would not recommend this firm and definitely not recommend working with Irena Inman. The firm had a money first business model with little care for my needs; and no strategy for my divorce case.Typical examples were: rewriting my financial statement to charge ne another $1k and thousands of dollars for 'document review'. Irena charged me a significant amount to chat with other lawyers, which would not be admissable in court. She blew through my $10k retainer before my first hearing. When I tried to scale back the billable hours she quit because she had her own agenda.

I would highly recommend anyone looking for a great attorney to work with to reach out to Laurel. She was beyond professional, responsive and mad me feel like she genuinely cared about my case and I wasn't just another transaction for their firm. Laurel was attentive to every detail of my case and was passionate on making sure the justice system was in my favor rightfully. I couldn't have asked for a better attorney or firm to work with.

I appreciated Alex?s efficient approach and ability to make complex legal contracts simple. She was a passionate advocate that I would recommend without reservation

Ms. Christina Murphy helped me greatly with my case. She put me at ease in a very stressful situation and got my visitation returned. I?m so great full for everything that she did to assist me. I would definitely recommend her and the Callahan Barraco law firm for any family disputes one may have.

I have nothing but positive Feedback for this firm! Highly recommend! If you want honest and hard-working lawyers who will take their time, thoroughly help you, and dig deep into your case. These people will do so! I have worked with Attorney Gregory Moscatel, and let's say he is fantastic! He has outstanding communication skills and has kept up with my entire case from start to finish. He listened thoroughly to my situation and gave excellent legal advice. Attorney Moscatel demonstrated professionalism during the day of court and talked me through every step to ensure I followed the different transitions. He managed to process paperwork early; best of all, he represented ME and stood strong by his client. Attorney Moscatel was very friendly and a pleasure to work with! As said before, he represented the firm in the utmost way. The overall staff was very friendly, making this entire stressful process easy. Special thanks to Attorney Moscatel and the rest of the CALLAHAN/BARRACO Inc.

I have had a very difficult time post divorce with some issues. David on more than one occasion has not only given me great advice but his response time is something you don't see very often in todays world. I will continue to use his services and would highly recommend him to anyone I know with confidence.

Laurel Barraco, a true professional and a perfect human being, has been my ?True North?, through the most painful of times! Despite the inefficiencies of the system and through many dark days, Laurel has been a ray of rationale sunshine and the sound of reason. When nothing worked and everything was on a gridlock, Laurel provided the most meaningful consults and always provided creative and solution-based positive alternatives. Her wit, smarts and ability to separate emotions from the challenges associated within this complicated process, made the toughest conversations productive and meaningful. I am so grateful for having Laurel in my corner and thankful for all the support I have received and all the professionalism Callahan/Barraco team team has provided.
