Legal Question in Family Law in Massachusetts

Re: Family Law

I would be leary of such lists. There are lists of super lawyers and Martindale Hubbel lists attorneys that are bv and av rated. Both mean the attorney has been rated as highly skilled by other attorneys outside of his firm.

Not every family attorney is good at every aspect of a case. For instance, some are great at custody, but are not good for finding hidden assets.

The best way to find an attorney is by getting a recommendation from someone you know or respect. Likewise, if you know an attorney and do not want to use him ask him to recommend someone.

Interview the attorney and make sure he or she is the kind of attorney you want. I know attorneys who are not "super lawyers" who I would use over many "super family lawyers."

Good Luck.
