Why WCN for Litigation
Right-sized. We are large enough to have the depth of expertise and knowledge, while small enough to be available, accessible and personal.
Exceptional Value. We deliver exceptional value by being efficient; offering value that Boston-based firms cannot match.
I highly recommend the services of Attorneys Michael B. Cosentino … for all of your personal, family, or business needs. Michael’s vast experience, knowledge, and expertise led to a most successful outcome under nearly impossible contractual deadlines and circumstances. Without Michael, I am 100% certain there would have been no resolution nor closure. Looking forward to working together on other matters.

I HIGHLY recommend Michael Cosentino, Esq. I came to Michael with a difficult estate settlement case, after 3 unsatisfactory years with another firm. Michael Cosentino’s ability to immediately grasp the details of the case was amazing, and his no-nonsense, get-it-done approach was exactly what was needed. Importantly, Michael was very sensitive to the fact that I had already incurred substantial legal fees without results. He was able to get a resolution with efficiency and compassion. I only wish I had him in my corner 4 years ago.
