Thomas Cleary, Esq | Cohen Cleary, P.C.

Making the decision to seek legal help is never an easy one, often prompted by a crisis or a desire to right a perceived wrong. For my sister and me, it was the realization that our failing mother had no end in sight that prompted us to seek out an attorney. However, choosing an attorney can be daunting, as it requires placing trust in someone who has the power to shape your future. That's where Thomas Cleary and the Cohen Cleary firm came in. As a Massachusetts Social Worker, my sister's colleagues spoke highly of Tom's experience and track record in family law cases. Tom did not disappoint, displaying deep knowledge, warmth, and tenacity throughout our legal journey. Regardless of how many questions we had, Tom was patient and attentive, always making us feel like our case was his highest priority. What impressed us most was Tom's integrity in his client-centered approach, even when it required sacrifices of time, energy, and money. We have no doubt that the Cohen Cleary team went above and beyond what we could have expected from other firms or attorneys. Tom is a professional of the highest caliber, possessing intelligence, tenacity, patience, and honesty. We would not hesitate to recommend him and Cohen Cleary to anyone in need of legal services, especially in family law or conservatorship matters. If we ever need an attorney again, Thomas Cleary and Cohen Cleary will be our first and only stop.

After experiencing a decline in their health, my aunt and uncle found themselves unable to continue living on their own and in need of assistance from a nursing home. As their closest living relative, I took on the task of helping them transition into this new phase of life. Unfortunately, they had incurred significant debt and their finances were in disarray due to their decline. The nursing home bills began to pile up, and in order to receive state aid for their long-term care expenses, their assets had to be sold to pay for their bills. Rather than handle their finances alone, I decided to hire Mr. Thomas Cleary to assist with the process. He was appointed as their power of attorney to handle all financial matters and adeptly took care of selling their house, paying off their debts, and covering any outstanding nursing home bills. Mr. Cleary was a consummate professional, displaying a remarkable level of proficiency, trustworthiness, and accountability throughout the process. He was always compassionate, respectful, and honest when communicating with me, my aunt and uncle, and any other stakeholders. I never had any unanswered questions or unresolved concerns that he didn't address quickly and effectively. Overall, working with him was a pleasure and I am extremely grateful to have found someone who is so competent and dedicated to ensuring that my aunt and uncle are well taken care of.

"It was quite difficult for me as I have two daughters who face certain challenges, along with my own limitations as a senior citizen surviving on a fixed income. In order to secure our life insurance, I required an irrevocable trust. My assets are limited, and the trust only consists of policies owned by myself and my daughters, which I manage. I hoped to safeguard their future in the event that I needed to move into a nursing home, so that we would still have some resources for our burial. Eternally grateful to Cohen Cleary, PC for providing me with the much-needed assistance."

As a legal professional who deals with legal matters on a daily basis, I have set my bar really high. However, Mr. Cleary proved to be a stand-up lawyer who exceeded my expectations. He will push you to be fully prepared, so make sure all your ducks are in a row if you require his assistance. I am grateful for the opportunity to have worked with him and I hope to seek his advice again for a more lighthearted matter in the future. Best regards.

Our family faced an agonizing situation involving a Nursing Home, my deceased mother, estate issues, and deceitful practices by others. However, Mr. Cleary skillfully intervened and prevented potential disaster on multiple fronts. During the distressing eight-year span, in which we watched my mother deteriorate and believed we were being safeguarded, Mr. Cleary helped us avoid a complete catastrophe. Despite my autoimmune disease, health complications, anxiety, and familial discord, Mr. Thomas Cleary emerged as a savior who provided a new path towards healing. I wholeheartedly vouch for his legal acumen and outstanding character. Sincerely, Dean Talbot.
