Jeffrey A Soilson

Mr Soilson is a nice guy and easy to speak with. I wish I could give a better review. I hired him as my GAL in a child custody case. Mr. Soilson had some pretty serious issues going on in his personal life and I feel terrible that he was dealing with it. However, I feel this hindered is ability to conduct a thorough investigation. I wanted some in person interviews. Get to know my kids and see how they interact with each parent. I wanted him to ask what our marriage was like. Why it broke down. What has it been like since. My ex and I both had assignments in the military that would take us out of the state of Massachusetts. This put my ex and I on an even playing field. The base leadership at Hanscom AFB canceled her assignment so she could stay in Massachusetts. They should have never got involved. It seemed to make his job easier and just recommended that they stay in Massachusetts. As a father, I feel let down. As a result, I was forced into a terrible separation agreement. Making it almost impossible for me to see my children.

Jeffrey Soilson is the attorney that finally was able to help my boyfriend get custody of his son. My boyfriend is a great Dad, who signed a bad separation agreement a long time ago. His experience with that lawyer made him think that all lawyers were hard to reach, or just pushed you to settle quickly. Jeff Soilson was different. He returned calls and emails consistently, and helped my boyfriend get organized. He always knew what move to make next, and When we walked into court with Jeff, the Clerk actually made a face that said "Wow, I'm impressed." Court is never fun, and rarely fair, but Jeff helped my boyfriend get the custody he deserves, and we are way happier than before.

I've had a years-long divorce and subsequent custody battle, where my ex-wife was physically harming our child, so I know court and I know lawyers. My previous lawyer was vague and sometimes unresponsive, even in such a serious circumstance, so I resolved to find a lawyer that would truly help. I read the reviews on here and made an appointment with Attorney Soilson. The difference between him and every other attorney I've dealt with was night and day. He didn't speak in generalities or hypotheticals---he discussed the kind of solutions my actual judge is prone to selecting, he recommended options and experts BY NAME, and he anticipated so much of what I needed to know that it was stunning. Where many lawyers might say: "To get to California, you might drive, or take a train, or even fly", Jeff says "The quickest way is to take American Airlines, the tickets are cheapest on Tuesdays, the best pilot is Lou, and the taxis are expensive at LAX so take an Uber." I felt so fortunate to have found him, after previously having the nagging feeling that my lawyers were uninformed, unfamiliar or uninvested. And as high-end as he and his firm obviously are, I was surprised to see that he isn't a shark; he often pushed me to look for areas of compromise, where I'd be comfortable giving, because the reality is that co-parenting is a long-term thing, and gladiatorial domination in court doesn't facilitate a good home-life for the kids. Even in my situation, being "take-no-prisoners" doesn't help your children when there are resolutions to be had. Jeff's tone reflected that. Bottom line: as a Dad who needed serious, emergency help, with my children's well-being on the line, Jeff's help was priceless. He's given me so much valuable guidance over the past few years. He's truly the best.

Attorney Soilson is a highly accomplished attorney who is very approachable and comforting in what can be highly stressful situations.
