Client Testimonials
“I’m writing you today to express my thanks and appreciation for everything you have helped me with over the last 5 years. I was referred to you from someone at the Somerville Courthouse when I was receiving court notices for unpaid credit debit I had accumulated over the years. I was in kind of a dark place in my life and I was swamped with thousands of dollars in consumer debt and I had no clue where to turn. After meeting with you, you explained different ways to go about this situation, and we decided to do a Chapter 13 bankruptcy with all of the credit cards I had. This decision was turned out to be the best thing for me to get my life back on track. With hard work and determination I was dead set on getting everything in my life back on track financially. And without your help I never would have accomplished it. When I received your phone call last month that I had made my LAST payment and I was officially DEBT FREE was the best feeling I could have had. The weight of everything was just lifted off of me. So once again, Michael, thank you again for helping with though this process. I hope you share my letter and words of thanks to others who are in such a financial position as I was 5 short years ago. Your legal expertise and knowledge truly saved me.”

“When I found myself in desperate need of counsel, I was a brand-new business owner, and quite and impoverished on. I had fallen into arrears in property taxes and did not have a way to escape the repercussions without expert help.
I called the only two lawyers I knew, both friends from college. The first generated a reference for Michael McLaughlin. In the calmest of manners, Mr. McLaughlin guided me through the minimum requirements and presented me with a VERY reasonable fee.
The deadline was met, the foreclosure averted, and I began my 5 year program to reorganize my financial affairs within the protection of Chapter 13. Michael not only saved our home and lifestyle, but he also saved me from the psychological fear and helplessness such a daunting threat engenders.
To the reader, trust what you have read here. I have no incentive but to share. To Michael, thank you! We can never truly repay you!
Mr. McLaughlin is mor than the attorney on the other line. He is more that just your lawyer. He is a dependable friend to his clients and their needs.”

“We run a small business and needed the expertise of a lawyer when one of our clients went bankrupt and we were being sued by their unpaid creditors.
It is an extremely daunting feeling being named in a lawsuit. We tried answering ourselves to avoid what we thought would be the exorbitant costs of a lawyer but we were out of our depth.
We reached out to Michael McLaughlin and received a callback that very same day. Michael listened to our concerns and offered his expert advice gained from decades of experience. He is incredibly attentive, trustworthy, knowledgeable and professional.
Within minutes Michael reached out to the other party and amicably resolved an issue that could have taken several months of our time and thousands of dollars! Aside from being a well respected expert in his field with a stellar reputation Michael is most importantly a decent human being.
If you are ever in the unfortunate position of needing a bankruptcy attorney I would highly recommend Michael. He is truly an exception in his field. “Adam S.
“In late 2015 while looking for work I was caught up in a fraudulent employment scam. It left me with a massive amount of unsecured debt that I couldn’t recover from. At that point, I looked to Michael McLaughlin to help me. Although I was panicked, Michael was calm and thorough, and together we reviewed my financial situation and put together the case to present to the court. Michael was there with me in court and helped me present my case to the reviewing court officer. The result was that the court accepted my explanation and the debt put on me by the scam was fully dismissed.
Michael was there when I needed him, guiding me along through the legal process, advising me of what was needed to make my case and how to move forward from there. He showed great concern over my distress at the time, leading me through the legal process for a quick resolution. I strongly recommend Michael McLaughlin to anyone who finds himself lost in financially overwhelming circumstances. He is a very kind and concerned individual, and his skills greatly helped me and my family.”A.K.

“Before we met Mr. McClaughlin, we saw several attorneys. We weren’t quite sure yet which one to go to. We kept searching through the website. First we were hesitant because of the consultation fee.
