Brick & Sugarman, LLP

Attorney Alex Jones and his team were there for me from the first step until my final agreement. They helped guide me through a high conflict divorce to ensure I was protected today, as well as protected in the future. They were steadfast in their compassion, professionalism, respect, and efficiency every step of the way. I was put at ease, provided with consistent support, and they provided me with a path to a fair resolution. I recommend Alex and his team as highly as possible. Divorce is a lonely and isolating experience. You won’t feel the full weight of that with their help.

Maureen did a fantastic job helping me though a rough patch in my marriage. I so appreciated her low-intensity approach, her ability to “house” my troubles, and still let me hold the reins, and her compassionate, empathetic stance on my situation. Maureen steered me to peace and not war. It was an inflection point in my life and exemplary leadership on her part!

I worked with Maureen McBrien over 2 years on my very unconventional divorce appeal. Not only did she win the appeal, but her arguments were so well constructed and tactfully delivered that she made the opposing counsel appear amateur. Maureen operates with a level of efficiency, diligence, intelligence, and kindness that you cannot imagine. Maureen and her team never missed a detail or a deadline and kept me in the loop every step of they way. Though she is firmly grounded in logic, her sense of humor also kept me from breaking down and giving up. Maureen, you are truly a master of your profession, and I am so grateful to have worked with you.

I should have written this review a year ago when the final detail of my divorce was wrapped up, but I have been so busy living the amazing new life that was made possible by Alex Jones’ hard work that this kept falling to the bottom of my mental list. Now that I’m giving this the time that it has long-deserved, I truly can’t say enough good things about Alex Jones and his assistant Jeanne. When I was blindsided with a less-than-amicable divorce in the middle of a pandemic only a year after moving from my midwestern home of 8 years to MA for my ex-husband’s work, I honestly didn’t know what to expect. I had been married for 16 years and had never divorced before. After interviewing several lawyers, I hired Alex because he conveyed the empathy necessary to understand the difficulty of my situation and it was clear to me he had the knowledge and experience to get the most equitable settlement possible in order to set the foundation for my new beginning. Less than 5 months after I hired Alex and without going to court, I was living in a beautiful apartment around the corner from my daughter’s school with a signed legal agreement detailing every single aspect of the divorce settlement….a settlement I felt to be fair upon signing, and, more than 2 years later, I remain completely satisfied with it. Alex & Jeanne were there for me every step of the way being attentive to both my wishes and my fears. I basically layed out what I felt to be a fair settlement and they made it happen within the constraints of the law. When my ex made requests through his legal counsel for things I felt would be more harmful than helpful, Alex was able to eliminate the probability of such unnecessary issues by listening to my concerns, taking them seriously, and communicating them accurately and professionally so my perspective could be understood. Alex was also able to make several suggestions regarding split custody and future communications with my ex that have effectively made the post-divorce period a walk in the park…allowing me to avoid continued conflict and, instead, place my focus and energy on healing and rebuilding. Both he and Jeanne followed through to make sure every promise in writing actually happened in reality within a reasonable timeframe. And, as recently as 6 weeks ago, when I reached out to Alex over concerns that I may need to go back to court for some issues that were occurring at the time, I got a prompt response reassuring me that he was still there to represent me. I could go on and on, but this review is already longer than most. I will conclude with a solid recommendation for this law firm and, specifically, Alex Jones if you are in need of representation for your divorce. I am honestly living the happiest life I have had to date and my daughter is thriving in a split-home situation and has maintained positive relationships with both of her parents. I owe a great deal of the credit for this to Alex as he executed my divorce with near-perfection assuring that I stepped out of a bad situation and onto firm ground with the proper supports in place for my daughter and myself.

There is no doubt that divorce and child custody disputes are among the most difficult and emotional conflicts one will ever have to endure. The legal expertise provided to me by Attorney Hickey is unparalleled. Beyond her in-depth knowledge of the law, the guidance and emotional support provided is both genuine and unwavering while at the same time providing me with a realistic and measured assessment of the issues. For every challenge and conflict that arises, she is meeting them head-on with tenacious advocacy. I can’t thank her enough for being the strong advocate in my corner and am pleased to provide her with the highest of recommendations.
