We had a heart rending family crisis involving a Nursing Home, my late mother, property/estate issues and deceptive practices by another party or parties. Mr. Cleary rescued us from the brink of potential disaster on many levels. We watched my late mother shrivel up into a ball over the course of 8 horrific years, thinking that others were protecting us which they weren't. Add to that my Autoimmune Disease, terrible health days, fear, worry and family dysfunction and you had a recipe for a complete nightmare. Mr. Thomas Cleary woke us up from that nightmare and gave us a new recipe for redemption. He is a terrific attorney and a nice man. I cannot say enough positive things. With utmost Sincerity, Dean Talbot.

Mr.Cleary is really a stand up lawyer. And my bar is set really high as a professional who deals with legal matters daily. He will challenge you to be prepared so have your ducks in a row if you need his help. I’m very thankful to have met him and I hope I can seek out his advice in the future for a more light hearted matter then the one I needed his assistance with. All the best.

It was sort of hard for me. Having two challenged daughters and myself. I'm a senior citizen so mostly fixed income. I needed a irrevocable trust for our life insurance. I don't have many assets so in it only was my girls policies (which I'm the owner) and my policies. I wanted to protect them should I have to go to a nursing so we'd still have something to bury us. Thankfully I got the help I needed from Cohen Cleary, PC. for which i"m very grateful

My aunt and uncle recently needed to be moved into a nursing home after their health declined and they could no longer manage living on their own. They had no children, so being the closest living relative to them, I stepped in to help them with this transition. As a result of their decline, they were unable to attend to their finances so they had incurred a lot of debt and their house had been completely neglected. The nursing home bills started accumulating with each passing day. My aunt and uncle needed to apply for state aid to cover their long term care expenses, but the state required that all of their assets first be sold and the resulting money be put towards paying for their nursing home expenses. I did not want the responsibility of handling all their finances so Mr. Thomas Cleary was hired to facilitate the process for applying for state aid and was appointed as their power of attorney to handle all financial matters. Mr. Cleary took care of selling their house and paid off all of their debt and any pending nursing home bills. Throughout the process he was extremely professional, trustworthy, proficient, and accountable. When communicating with myself or my aunt and uncle he was always very compassionate, respectful, and honest. Whenever I had any questions or concerns he always responded in a timely manner, answered all my questions, and addressed all my concerns. It was a pleasure to work with him and and it’s such a relief to know that my aunt and uncle are being taken care of.

The decision to seek out legal help is never an easy one. It typically comes as a function of some crisis or tipping point when a perceived wrong must be set right. It was just such a moment when my sister and I, seeing no end in sight for our failing mother sought the help of an attorney. Selecting an attorney is never without its trepidation or anxiety. In effect one places their trust in another human being, ostensibly with the skill to be an advocate in a largely foreign and confusing environment that has the power to shape your future and potentially carve your life in some meaningful way, going forward thereafter.... Thomas Cleary and the firm of Cohen Cleary came into our lives in just such a manner. My sister is a Massachusetts Social Worker and her colleagues spoke very highly of Tom’s experience, the quality of his work and his background of success with literally thousands of family law cases, over many, many years. My sister and I were not disappointed by Tom’s deep knowledge, warmth experience and tenacity. Tom was attentive and clear throughout our legal journey. He was extremely patient with our umpteen questions, always reached out to us in a timely fashion and never once came across as dismissive or frustrated with our concerns, regardless of their relevancy in law. We knew that Tom had many other cases but part of his skill was making us believe that ours was his highest priority. Perhaps most impressive was the integrity with which he treated us as clients. Even in moments of real sacrifices of time, energy and money, Tom and the firm made client-centered choices that my sister and I know went well beyond what we could ever have expected from other firms or attorneys. You will find Tom to be scary smart, tenacious, patient, strategic, honest and attentive.. You will say to yourself, “I’m sure glad he’s on our side!” Tom and the team at Cohen Cleary are true professionals in every sense of the word... If you are in a serious jam, especially related to family law, or conservatorship, you owe it to yourself to speak to Thomas Cleary first. We recommend Tom and the firm of Cohen Cleary without hesitation or reservation and should we ever need the services of an attorney again, Thomas Clearly and the Cohen Cleary team will be our very first stop... - Clement E Papazian
