Reviews
First hired Ed in October of 2011, case was dealt with in July 2012, dealt with Ed initially but then worked with Tom Glynn at the court appearances. Both of them were very professional and I was always kept in the loop. Their office staff were prompt in responding to emails and I was more than happy with their performance in my case.
I RETAINED ATTORNEY AMARAL EIGHT MONTHS GO TO REPRESENT ME IN MY DIVORCE CASE AFTER I WAS REPRESENTED BY TWO OTHER ATTORNEYS; I WAS AFRAID DUE TO THE COMPLICATIONS OF MY CASE AND ATTORNEY AMARAL WITH HIS KNOWLEDGE OF THE LAW, HIS EXPERIENCE AND DEDICATION TO HIS CLIENT GIVE ME THE CONFIDENCE TO GO THOUGH THIS VERY DIFFICULT PROCESS AND PERIOD. I RACOMMEND ATTORNEY AMARAL WITHOUT HESITATION TO ANYONE.
I met Attorney Amaral and his staff last year when I found myself in a difficult family situation. I was anxious and confused but I did feel comforted knowing that I had a competent lawyer looking out for my best interests. I would recommend Amaral and Associates freely and without hesitation.
I first retained the services of Attorney Amaral eight years ago to represent me in a divorce proceeding. He worked intensely on my behalf using his experience and knowledge of the law, and the process, to guide me through a treacherous period. He has been my Attorney since, conscientiously working on several areas including real estate transactions, mediation, and constructing an estate plan that protects my assets for the ultimate benefit of my children.
I have a successful insurance business with over 150 employees who have a host of legal issues from family law to estate planning to contract matters. Attorney Amaral and his staff have always been extremely responsive and get the job done for the agreed upon fee and on time. His professionalism and knowledge of the law in easy to understand terms makes working with him a pleasure. I have no hesitation in recommending he and his firm.
Mr Amaral was very polite at all times. I was specific about the need to do a SPECIFIC type of "asset search." He sent me a brochure (not a contract to sign) and an information form. On the information form I again was very specific about finding "joint assets" that are in my name and a deceased joint owner , that I was looking for. This was different than the brochure. Because my written request did not match that brochure what assets he could search for, I feel he could have just told me he could not ( possibly illegal) search for those types of assets, and not take my money and send back generic information. I could have gotten the same for 1/7 what he charged me. Bad experienc.
