Atty Tomasino handled numerous issues for me spanning almost three years. Her attentiveness was high, often causing me to feel like I was her only priority. In addition to the depth of knowledge and outstanding performance, she maintains a superb team around her to aide in various ways. Constantly in contact, I was always able to reach her to communicate issues and experienced a superior service overall. I have found her experience and competence to be second to none and will continue to recommend her to others as I have been doing.

Alisha Tomasino is a bright, creative, ethical, committed and hard-working lawyer. She took on my legal case, brought it to a successful outcome, and cared about me in the process. It is unusual to find such an accomplished lawyer who is also empathetic. She has a track record of winning difficult cases, and I can testify personally to that. I would be happy to give a recommendation for her.

After our blended family moved to MA several years ago, we started searching for a local family attorney to represent us in case we ever had any issues. After doing some research, we decided to meet with Alisha because of her strong bio and credentials. She got us in for a free consult and appraisal of our situation right away, and we were as impressed by her in person as we had been by what we had learned on-line. As soon as we had established MA State residency we made her our new family attorney and we could not have made a better decision. Over the years Alisha has given us great legal advice and has always been highly professional, responsive, attentive, and caring. A few years after we retained her, when an issue arose during the end of year holiday season, Alisha immediately said “don’t worry about this at all – I’ve got it. This is why you retained me. Go enjoy your holidays and don’t give this another thought.” We referred every call or letter about the issue directly to her from that point on, and within a few months the entire thing had been resolved in our favor. A few years and additional well-handled issues later, Alisha (aided by her excellent associate Alana) was able to arrange for my wife to adopt our child from my previous marriage. Throughout the years, Alisha has always been there for us. She listens, she knows the law, she is a strong and powerful advocate, she gives great legal advice, and she cares. We would highly recommend Alisha and her practice to anyone.

My divorce was complex and unique. Yet it was apparent to me from the onset, Atty Tomasino's well versed knowledge pertaining to Massachusetts Probate Laws, Atty Tomasino would offer me the proper guidance and direction, to fairly present my case to a successful conclusion. This also gave me comfort and the confidence, to know that Atty Tomasino due diligence, integrity and professional demeanor, that I would be well represented during the most difficult period of my life. It's apparent to me, as I closely watched Atty Tomasino inside the settings of the courtroom, that Atty Tomasino is well respected amongst her peers as well as court room personnel. Atty Tomasino communicated with me regularly, answered all my emails and returned phone calls in a timely manner. Overall, i was extremely pleased with the counsel I received from Atty Tomasino and would highly recommend her services to any person searching for expert guidance on probate matters.

I met Alisha one day in court after my divorce was final and I was still having issues with mt ex wife. Alisha was very patient with me and listen to my situation. Once Alisha found out the details of what my situation was and gathered all of the facts she tried tirelessly to settle my situation without a trial. To no preval we ended up in front of the judge fir a trial. Alisha was extremely prepared and did a perfect job during the trial. I have tremendous respect for this lady as a Laywer and better yet as a friend. My comfort level grew each and every time we had to get together in such a difficult situation. I would recommend Alisha to anyone in need of a divorce attorney. She is not all about the money like most attorneys this lady is wise beyond her years. Thank you again Alisha for everything and congratulation and best of luck with you new baby Joe

Alisha made a difficult period much easier for me. My divorce was very contentious with a former spouse that was unreasonable and difficult to deal with. Alisha gave me peace of mind and was always available to explain important aspects of the case. I always knew we'd go to court or meet a deadline because she was always well prepared and pays attention to every details. In addition to being able to apply law favorably, Alisha has other skills that are critically important: - relates well to opposing lawyer and even your ex-spouse - presents well and has credibility in front of the judge (attributable in part to her excellent track record) - effective negotiator Excellent lawyer and highest recommendation.

Going to court for your children is extremely difficult. The mental strain that this process takes on you is sometimes overwhelming. I feel so fortunate to have found Alisha during these rough waters, because she has not only been a devoted avocate for my kids and I, but her approach is so calming and proffesional, that it takes some of this burden and worry off of your shoulders, and during these times, that is such an important thing. Alisha is superior in her field, for her knowledge, her integrity, but mostly because when you are with Alisha, you just know that you and your children are her top priority, and that just means so much to me, I will never be able to thank her enough.

Attorney Alisha Tomasino has been handling a complex family court case on my behalf for a few months. She is bright, intelligent, caring and compassionate, she always reply's to my emails promptly, calls back quickly when not available and always answers the many questions i have and ask questions when working on the case. She is extremely professional and very knowledgeable in the family law arena. She prepares all the documents herself and they are very well written and its clear that she puts a lot of thought, research and time in. She is a good listener and her attitude is upbeat, strong and kind, she was able to put me at ease from the beginning, i am a single Mom with no family here fighting for the well being of my children, i could not ask for a better attorney to represent me.

Alisha represented me through my child custody case, and I was just struck by the level of Knowledge, professionalism, and compassion that she kept at all times through the process. I have worked with other lawyers in the past, who were good lawyers, but they were not on the same level as Alisha. I am a father, and it is not easy to fight for your children when there is a bias, but Alisha took the nerves away, and it was like dealing with a friend who has known you for years. Look no further, this is the lawyer you need.

Ms. Tomasino was incredibly helpful, knowledgeable, and determined in resolving my divorce case. She made excellent recommendations on how to proceed and successfully turned aside arguments made by opposing counsel to the judge. She maintained professional, positive communication in the face of negative attacks by the opposing counsel. I would highly recommend her services.
