About Joel H. Schwartz

Joel H. Schwartz has practised from Washington Mall for what its own site calls more than 60 years, across offices in Boston, Brockton and Framingham, and names four attorneys.

Contingency fees and a free consultation, published in English and Spanish. 132 reviews at 4.9. The 30,000 claims its site claims to have resolved is the firm's own figure and not one we confirmed.

What this firm has earned Every one from a measured value, with the evidence behind it

LFL Verified 2026

Every eligibility gate this firm's state allows us to check has been checked and held: licensure, discipline, entity, website and footprint. Certification additionally requires a score of 70.

No public discipline

No attorney this firm names appears as the respondent in any of the 168 published discipline decisions of the Supreme Judicial Court of Massachusetts on the discipline of attorneys, on the recommendation of the Board of Bar Overseers, 1975 to 2025. Published decisions record what has been decided, so this covers a disbarment or suspension on the record and not whether a registration is current today.

4.9 average over 132 reviews

A high rating is easy at low volume and hard to hold at this one. Pillar C scores it against the market rather than against five stars.

Service in Spanish

Published by the firm on its own pages, which is how this was measured rather than assumed from a name.

G3 Entity & officeNot published by MA1 physical location verified on Google Business Profile. Massachusetts publishes no business register we can query. The Secretary of the Commonwealth's corporate search answers a request for its robots file with a 403 and its search page with a redirect loop, and the state runs no open data portal carrying the register. This is a limit of the published record and not something the firm can change.
G5 WebsiteSite has served over HTTPS, a working phone number published, 4 named attorneys published.

Frequently asked questions

How much does Joel H. Schwartz charge?
Joel H. Schwartz publishes a contingency fee, which means the fee is a share of what the case recovers and there is nothing to pay if it recovers nothing. The rate itself is not published, so ask for it in writing, along with how case expenses are handled and whether they come out of the recovery before or after the fee. The first consultation is free, which is the place to ask.
Does Joel H. Schwartz offer a free consultation?
Yes. Joel H. Schwartz publishes a free initial consultation. It publishes material in Spanish.
Where does Joel H. Schwartz have offices?
Joel H. Schwartz publishes one office, in Boston. Addresses and the Google listing behind each one are on this profile under Offices.
Who are the attorneys at Joel H. Schwartz?
Joel H. Schwartz names four attorneys on its own site, and each is listed on this profile with the page we read them from. They have not been checked against a state register: Massachusetts does not publish an attorney register we can query, so licensure is not verified here. The state's own attorney search is the place to check it.
What has Law Firm Listings verified about Joel H. Schwartz?
Joel H. Schwartz scores 41 and sits at Verified. Passed: discipline, website and footprint. Could not be answered from any public source and therefore counts neither for nor against the firm: licensure and entity registration. Every row of the scorecard above names where the value came from and when it was read. Nothing on this profile was supplied by the firm for payment, and no placement here can be bought.
