Re: How to find a GOOD lawyer?

Rotten is right. I'm so sorry.

In general, word of mouth through other lawyers is how you know if someone is good or not. Unfortunately I don't have professional contacts for lawyers in MA but maybe wicky or BIP might know someone who knows someone?

Again, rotten. I'm sorry :(
