When my family and I were suddenly faced with the overwhelming task of choosing a reputable Boston law firm to represent me, in what would have seemed to be a non-complex divorce case, we were led to Atwood & Cherny, P.C. We interviewed and subsequently chose Family Law and Divorce Attorney, Mary Beth Sweeney and her capable team, including Nicole Collins and several others who have supported me along this most difficult journey. Unbeknownst to me, and to my family members who are highly regarded attorneys in their fields, this case has now exceeded two years in time. And yet, I have truly appreciated the professionalism and dedication by which my lawyers have carried themselves in their communication, in court, and in managing the ongoing tasks at hand. They are wise counsel, offering advice, opinions, and collaboration in the many different areas of family and divorce law. The proceedings have been extremely challenging and stressful, and yet their individual and collective support and warmth has helped me along this intellectual and emotional roller coaster. I would highly recommend the firm of Atwood and Cherny and its legal team, led by Mary Beth Sweeney, in both their Boston and Andover offices, to help clients like me overcome a most grueling time of life with the goal of reaching the other side with grace, comfort, and renewed hope for the future. Thank you.

I will forever be grateful to Catharine Blake of Atwood & Cherny. She helped me navigate the most painful time of my life: a three-year-long high-conflict divorce. My case ended up settling. Cate is extraordinarily professional, level-headed, practical, direct in her communication, ethical, and extremely knowledgeable about the law. She is also very kind, and I always felt that she cared about me and my two young children. I never questioned Cate’s judgment or the soundness of her reasoning—and I have a standard for comparison because I worked with two family law attorneys (Cate was the second). It’s clear to me that Cate has the highest and most admirable motivation to do this work: to serve people well at an extremely complex and difficult time in their lives, and to advocate for children in the process. I recommend Cate highly and warmly.

Kevin Smith is your man. Go see him if you want good professional service. He was very kind and made sure I was ok and He offered me something to drink and I can appreciate that.

Unresponsive throughout the process. Couldn't even meet face to face for the final document review. Says a lot about how they "value" clients. Don't say I didn't warn you.
