Client Reviews
Great lawyer and kind
Great lawyer and kind. Maegan, help me out whit my chapter 7 bankruptcy case. I thought I’d never get out of debt and she gave me another chance to start over. There’s been such a relief for me and my family. Thank you so much.
Phenomenal Lawyer
Phenomenal Lawyer!! Have been working with Michelle for about two years now, and she is my go to!! Anything we need in business or personal ventures, she is right there! Extremely professional, very knowledgeable, punctual with deadlines and accommodations we’ve needed, and beyond personable! She is extremely thorough when it comes to her clients, and that is huge!! Couldn’t recommend her and her firm enough!
‘I highly recommend Michelle and her legal services’
I cannot stress how lucky I am to have been referred to Michelle Cote for legal support with a motor vehicle accident. Since day one, Michelle’s written and verbal communications have been outstanding, detailed, and easy-to-understand. She effectively explained the entire process, the strategic approach, and potential timeframes. Michelle’s empathy throughout the process was supportive and encouraging. Overall I am extremely pleased with Michelle and her professionalism. I highly recommend Michelle and her legal services.
‘Richard is a very experienced, well-prepared attorney that serves a very diverse clientele’
Richard is a very experienced, well-prepared attorney that serves a very diverse clientele. From his wealthiest clients to his pro bono clients, Richard provides the highest professional services, and his office is a pleasure to work with and responsive at all times. I highly recommend his services and his firm. Peer Review by an Attorney in Civil Litigation
‘Amazing, caring, and very knowledgeable’
Amazing, caring, and very knowledgeable. Maegan was amazingly supportive throughout a very tough process for me. She is incredibly knowledgeable and detailed, as well as kind and understanding. She never once made me feel bad about my situation. I respect her tremendously and recommend her without hesitation!
‘My trust in the firm is 100%’
In my career, I have found myself frequently pursuing payment of outstanding debts through the courts. I have, therefore, worked with many attorneys throughout the country. Richard and his associate, Matthew Hamel, have been the best attorneys by far. They worked with me on my terms, allowing me to do a lot of the legwork to hold down legal costs. They were smart as heck in identifying ways to achieve my goal. Finally, they were honorable. Usually attorneys, even good ones, pad the bills. You wouldn’t believe all the times that I have had to fight legal bills. With Richard’s firm, that just isn’t an issue. My trust in the firm is 100%. I am driving 3+ hours this week to take Richard and Matthew out to dinner as a thank you. Michael
‘Michelle Cote is an exemplary lawyer’
Saved From an Attack by a Multi-Billion Dollar Company. Michelle Cote is the top choice if you require exceptional legal representation. With her extensive expertise and proven track record as a lawyer and litigator, Michelle consistently exceeds expectations in even the most challenging cases. Michelle’s approach is meticulous and strategic, ensuring that every angle is considered. Her ability to dissect legal issues and present clear, persuasive arguments is second to none. When I was collateral damage in a lawsuit with a multi-billion dollar company coming after me, my first law firm did nothing but talk amongst themselves running up bills while doing nothing. I fired them and hired Michelle., Michelle was there for me. She dealt with the two large law firms hired by the multi-billion dollar company and eliminated all claims they had against me. To sum it up, we won and we won because of Michelle. While I never should have had this action taken against my company without Michelle we could not have overcome this adversity. In conclusion, Michelle Cote is an exemplary lawyer whose expertise and demeanor make her an outstanding advocate. Anyone needing a skilled litigator would be well advised to consider her services.
‘The best’
Richard has helped my family and I for over 30 years. He has helped create trusts, wills and open businesses. He is very patient and a great teacher. He is reasonably priced. Overall he is excellent, and will have my family’s business for the next 30 years! Anthony
‘Amazing lawyer’
Amazing lawyer. About a year ago, Attorney Cote took over a probate administration matter. I was grieving the loss of my grandmother while being the personal representative of the estate and trying to study for the bar exam. I had a prior attorney handle the matter, but there were a lot of intricacies with my gram’s estate, the biggest MassHealth debt/lien. I was highly recommended and needed an attorney who could handle probate administration and also deal with MassHealth and attorney cote, and the firm’s staff took care of everything for me and took a load off my plate. She also helped me sell the estate’s property and was extremely thorough. Dealing with the loss of a family member is difficult as it is, and dealing with estate matters/ legal proceedings adds to the grief. Knowing I had the right legal help made things manageable. Someday, I will be Attorney Cote’s colleague and always recommend Attorney Cote and the Ravosa Law Offices. Thank you for helping me through the most challenging time in my life.
‘Extremely, thorough and efficient!’
Extremely, thorough and efficient! Dear Maegan, We just want to say thank you so much for your professional help! Especially, during a time when it was very scary to be near a nursing home. My mother is very grateful to have a fresh start, due to your hard work. She says thank you so much, as you did not hesitate to help in any way you could assist, including, visiting her at the nursing home! You were just so brave at such an unpopular time for visiting folks… Prior to you, we had been trying to get someone to help her file for bankruptcy for about a year. After several people dropping the ball, people leaving, and inefficient help, we finally, met you! You came in like a whirlwind and got everything rolling! It was almost unbelievable that it was finally, going to happen
Personable and Proactive
I feel like Michelle is always looking out for me and my business partners. We have been working together for about a year and half and she has been available to help when problems arise and fast in response to any crazy question I throw her way. She works diligently to serve us and is also very proactive with her clients. I received e-mails from her whenever there are changes in laws pertaining to my business and impending filing deadlines. Though I know she is busy with tons of other clients, I feel like I’m her only client whenever we are working together. Michelle is professional, hardworking, and very bright. I highly recommend her. Alex
Painless & Professional
Meagan was my lawyer for my Chapter 13 bankruptcy She was professional and made it direct and easy to understand and identified all the situations and my obligations. My biggest worry was always, “Something hitting me broadside and unexpected” and she made sure those “something’s” were resolved and quickly. I would recommend her services to anyone !
Chapter 13 – They took care of business!!!
My experience with Attorney Cynthia Ravosa was nothing but outstanding and professional. She took the time to advise me on all my options, treating me with respect and were very compassionate during a difficult time. There were no issues, gave me easy step by step instructions and communicated often. When I called they either took my call immediately or I was called back in a reasonable time. They made a difficult situation easy. Steven
‘Efficient, knowledgeable, and thorough’
Michelle and her team are great to work with. They are very efficient, knowledgeable, and thorough. Will definitely use them for all my legal needs going forward
Outstanding Attorney
Hiring Cynthia Ravosa as my Attorney was the finest choice I could have ever made. Mounted with overwhelming delinquent debt, mounting business legal matters and an ailing wife I didn’t know which way to turn. Cynthia worked with me to find the best suited direction to take moving forward. Not only did she develop a plan, she took the burden of handling collection actions off my shoulders, so that I was able to function and handle other pressing issues with a clear mind. Compassionate, detailed and a tough negotiator, Cynthia has a direct approach telling her clients what they need to know rather than what they want to hear before offering potential solutions and her suggested best approach. I highly recommend Cynthia Ravosa for you legal needs. Richard
As good as advertised
Due to a business failure during the economic downturn, I was forced to file for Chapter 13. My case was sufficiently involved that I decided to go with Attorney Ravosa and his team even though their main office is on the other side of the state. The whole process took much longer than I expected, but that was largely because Attorney Hurley and Attorney Ravosa were extremely thorough in their research and preparation. Whereas the local attorney I had initially consulted had seemed overworked and was rather uncommunicative, I could always count on a relatively prompt and well considered response when I sent the Ravosa team a question. In court, there was a palpable sense that the judge respected Attorney Ravosa’s competence and knowledge of the case. In person, Richard is very personable and professional. A pleasure to deal with. I am extremely grateful to the Ravosa team for the successful, and, in retrospect, very smooth engagement. I recommend them unreservedly. Anonymous
Not your normal Bankruptcy case
I contacted Cynthia with a bankruptcy issue that had for gone years without my knowledge. Upon further review of the severity of the issue I spun into serious depression, anxiety and fear of my future. Not only did I have several obsticals hindering the case, it took 3x as long as a regular case would because of them. Cynthia and her team put me at ease, dealt with me and my emotional issues with the utmost compassion while getting my case together, fighting for me, educating me and my family on what to do, what we should change to avoid these things from happening again and how to move forward with a better financial future in mind. Let it be known.. I was not an easy client, forgetful due to anxiety, long haul trucker hours, never available to answer same day emails, having to make our calls later in the evening. All this, never a problem for Cynthia and her team- Ever. I cannot express how they eased my mind but while making progress even while thing’s were held up because of my issues. AND.. they did it!! squeezing me from a Chapter 13 into a chapter 7. Seriously, if your case is furthest from normal, Cynthia Ravosa has the knowledge and the team to get it done. I promise you will not be sorry. Anonymous

We have such great respect for her and highly recommend Attorney Michelle Cote. She is the best of the best!

‘I recommend anyone to contact her’
Cynthia Ravosa has been VERY PROFESSIONAL to work with. She took the time to explain in detail on the process of my case. She was quick to respond either text or email. If I called her on a Saturday, she not like other lawyers it’s the weekend don’t bother me, she would take my call and answer all my question. It is VERY hard to find lawyers who would respond on the weekend. I’m very glad to meet and have her As my Attorney! I recommend anyone to contact her. Dave Daviau

Not just a great attorney, but a really caring person!
I spoke with Cynthia on a very complicated legal matter and she was able to help me work through each of my questions and concerns to identify the best path forward, even though it wasn’t to hire her in this case. I would work with her in a minute if I had a case that made good sense to pursue. Anonymous
Fantastic!
Cynthia is extremely helpful and competent. As I’m sure it is with many clients, I had no knowledge of and how the system worked. Cynthia walked me through the process step by step and made me feel comfortable with both the process and its outcome. She is extremely thorough, conscientious and effective. Bob

Highly Recommended!
A great legal experience from start to finish!! From the onset, I found Attorney Richard Ravosa to be very welcoming and everyone I encountered in the firm was friendly, professional and super helpful. Attorney Cynthia Ravosa is an expert in her field. She is courteous, interpersonal and a straight talker–no pretense. She’s also thorough and knows what needs to be done to ensure a successful outcome. Ann
100% Satisfied!
Attorney Ravosa and his team handled my case with professionalism and humanism. I really appreciate all the help and advice given and everything has turned out as promised. At first, I considered going it alone and working the process myself with random internet guidance however in hindsight, the cost of his services were a bargain when I consider that the outcome may have been entirely different without their help and it would have certainly been a lot harder without them. George
Cynthia Ravosa
Cynthia was readily she was available to answer any and all questions regarding my case. Although I live in Springfield, only a phone call away. Pleasant and competent. Carolyn

Saving my life
I had suffered a near fatal injury at work. A very close friend, also a lawyer, referred me to Cynthia and Richard Ravosa to help me while the workers Comp case was dragging on. My home was in jeopardy. Cynthia was on top of everything. She had each detail worked out. Twelve years later when I became disabled for life and could not manage my debt as a now divorced person, I again called Town and Country and Cynthia was there for me again. She and Richard have gone beyond treating me as a client. They treat me as a friend of the family that they are going to protect to all extents. I have started referring friends to them for legal services. They are caring professionals who know their law. William
JOB WELL DONE
Cynthia was great thru out our long Bankruptcy period. We went from chapter 7 to 13 and back to 7 with no issues the entire time. Job well done. Thank you. Raffi Hovagimian
Best Bankruptcy attorney
Words can not express my gratitude towards Cynthia and her staff. She went above and beyond what I was expecting. I was loosing my property with not many choices to go on and she was the light at the end of the tunnel. Raquel Ortega
Bankruptcy
Cynthia was kind and supportive throughout the entire bankruptcy process. She is extremely knowledgeable and was very responsive in answering a concern two years later. Thank you!! Jennifer
#1 Attorney to settle a debt
I hired Richard to negotiate a very large debt settlement and he was amazing. He got it down to only 30% of the original total! He’s relentless and a very tough negotiator. You definitely want him on your side! The other side was scared of him since he knows the law so well and has done these negotiations thousands of times. He was also very considerate and always available to answer questions, even after hours. I was so pleased I hired him for a real estate transaction. Richard and his entire firm are the top attorneys in the Boston area. I think other firms are afraid of going up against them because of their reputation for winning. Jeff
Bankruptcy case
I would like to start off by saying that Cynthia was amazing dealing with MY stress. I have nothing but admiration for her tenacity with the stress and uncertainness of her clients. I being a DEFINATE one of those people! My case was long and complicated. I was educated by Cynthia along the whole process as to what and how the proceeedings will be taking place. I would HIGHLY recommend hera nd her Husband Richard Ravosa for your bankruptcy needs. Patience is the virtue in the proceedings. Kevin
Outstanding Professional Service

Excellent, Caring Lawyer
If you are in crisis with your house or property,I highly recommend Cynthia Ravosa to represent and guide you as your lawyer. I had a demanding stressful issue with my house, but when I went to Cynthia and she handled my case,all my stressful burden was taken off my shoulders, professionally and with kindness. Cynthia and her excellent staff handled my case quickly and resolved in few months. When I made phone calls with any questions, or even left a message,Cynthia always got back to me soonest. Even being out of state, Cynthia has been very helpful with answers in regard to my case.I highly recommend Cynthia if you need a thorough and excellent lawyer. Once again thank you Cynthia for helping solve my case and was able to sell my house personally. Anne
Superstar!!!
Cynthia, and her team literally saved my life. I found myself victim of fraud and then a remodification scam, in the end I was about to lose my house. The time frame I had to do anything about it was no more than a week. I can’t believe it but Cynthia and her team, working weekends and long hours, saved my house and thus keeping me from becoming homeless as I had no where to go. I cannot express enough that if you are facing foreclosure you must give Cynthia a call, don’t wait! All is not lost when your working with the right people. And from the bottom of my heart from my entire family god bless you, Cynthia ,and your entire team! Brandon
Selling home
Michelle helped my family through selling our home. She was amazing, always answering our questions and filling us in with any new news. We appreciate all you did and how fast and how on top of things she stayed. She made this easy and less stressful. Mario Precetaj

Excellent Lawyer
Michelle represented me during a landlord/tenant dispute where I was the tenant. She handled my case in an efficient manner since the beginning and was able to resolve the problem rather quickly. She was professional at all times, very clear in her communications, very knowledgeable in the law and was up front about everything even if it wasn’t what I wanted to hear. I would definitely retain her services again if need be in the future! Mayra
Free consultation over the phone
I had a very good experience with Mr. Ravosa. I sent him a message asking for advice through and he called me back personally in less than 48 hours. I asked him for some advice regarding Estate planning, specifically regarding marriage and debt acquisitions. He immediately and confidently had answers for me that definitely put me at ease. He was very cordial and did not pretend to know things just to placate me (I had questions regarding specific laws in another state, an unreasonable expectation). If I ever needed more thorough representation for Estate matters, I would immediately hire him. Anonymous
Excellent service
Richard handled my Estate case and did so very well. He communicated with me every step of the way and helped me navigate a complicated process. Ernie B. Weston MA
