Alan J. Pransky, Attorney At Law

I would give him negative 5 stars!!! We reached out for a consultation to get general guidance on how courts usually handle co-parenting issues such as one parent withholding information, making false claims, and bringing up personal matters that weren't child-centered. While the attorney did answer all of our questions, his tone throughout the call was rude, dismissive, and condescending. What really bothered us was the clear difference in how he spoke to my partner compared to me. His attitude shifted noticeably once my fiance (the male partner) joined the call, which came across as sexist and unprofessional. We weren't upset by what he said about Massachusetts laws, but rather we were upset by how he said it. A little basic respect and compassion would've gone a long way. Unfortunately, we left the call feeling talked down to and defeated. Not the kind of experience you want when dealing with something as stressful as co-parenting legal issues.

I was referred to Attorney Alan Pransky by my regular attorney when my legal matter fell outside her expertise. While my issue ultimately turned out to be outside Mr. Pransky's specific practice area as well, I was incredibly impressed by the time and care he took with me. He thoroughly explained what I needed and provided thoughtful guidance on who might be better suited to help with my situation. His professionalism and willingness to assist, even when there was no immediate benefit to him, speaks volumes about his character. If I ever need legal services within his area of expertise in the future, I wouldn't hesitate to hire him. Highly recommended for his integrity and genuine concern for potential clients.

I would give this lawyer a zero if it was an option. I contacted this office for an initial consultation on what would likely be a contested divorce. His phone manner was confused, exasperated, extremely negative. I should have left it at that. However, I went ahead with the meeting. It took roughly ten minutes in his office to realize I had made a time-wasting mistake. Never in my life have I encountered such a flat-out rude dismissive, arrogant, condescending, utterly unprofessional counselor, who interrupted me several times. Not the type of treatment one should expect from legal representation in something as painful, complex and expensive as a divorce...unbelievable.

Attorney Pransky was more informative in about ten minutes of initial consultation than my previous lawyer was over nine months of communication. He is helpfully direct while maintaining empathy to the difficulties of a scenario. While I only interacted in consultation so far, his professionalism, knowledge and transparency was evident. He provided me with the legal options and process for those options in plain language and understandable summary, so that I could make my own informed decision on actions.

Had a consultation with Alan about an issue and he was to the point very informative. He listen and was kind. If my situation moves further and I need a lawyer to represent me. I'd be hiring Alan!
