David Sayward helped me through a very hard time in my life! He is a compassionate and caring man. Not only did he get me a settlement he did it with such confident. David was very thorough and meticulous with every aspect of our case. I was very proud to have him on my side! His team was on call throughout my mediation period. Ali, Davids secretary was amazing always keeping me updated the closer we got. I highly recommend David Sayward and his team to help you through your hardships. Amy L.

These lawyers (David Sayward & Anthony Muir) guided me through one of the hardest times in my life. David is one of the most genuine and honest men i have met. The staff ( Ali & Marie) are the glue to the entire place. I would recommend this firm to everyone. They are fair on fees and actually guide you for your best interest not theirs.

David Sayward and Anthony Muir supported us through a difficult guardianship process and were very knowledgeable and empathetic during the painful process. We were able to obtain guardianship and during the court process it appeared that the judge also had respect for them both professionally. There was never a time that they were not available to us. It was also greatly appreciated that Marie was always very kind and responsive to any requests I had.

I recently had the need for a real estate/probate attorney and was put in touch with Peter Bronstein. I can't say enough about how professional and knowledgeable he was and would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone! It is a great firm...the associates are all top notch!

David W Sayward was very attentive and caring during a difficult time. I was needing legal advice and needed to file paperwork with the courts ASAP and he and his assistant Allie came through!! I will be honest with you I just googled family lawyers in Salem and I just choose this law firm and I am so glad I choose this one! I walked in the day before New Years Eve and David was the only one in the office and he took the time to sit down and talk with me. Even texted me that evening and called me on New Years Day. I was quoted a retainer fee and because of how fast and efficient he was I received almost half of the retainer back. I would highly recommend David!

Atty. David Sayward and his team provided exceptional professional counsel to satisfactorily resolve a complicated multi-state real estate transaction. From day one, Atty. Sayward assumed control of a complex landscape and coordinated the eventual settlement of the case amongst several law firms. At the same time, Atty. Sayward is a high quality individual who was genuinely concerned with obtaining the best possible outcome for me and my associates. I cannot recommend his services, and that of his firm, highly enough.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Attorney Anthony Muir and his assistant Allie .I went to the practice for help with a divorce and i have to say they could not have made it go any easier everything went smoothly. They always kept me informed as to next steps always explained what paperwork was for and what to expect.They were very kind and caring and helped to keep this within my budget i was able to do most everything via emails or phone as he also promised i was also kept informed as to when any of my retainer was used and for what reason. I would use them again for any legal reason i have 100 percent confidence that they are there for you and put their all into a case.Thanks to Attorney Muir and Allie again for making things so easy for me .

I recently acquired Attorney Anthony Muir's expert-level representation to defend me against vexatious claims brought by a retaliatory party. Attorney Muir demonstrated unparalleled professionalism and competency at every stage of his representation. Attorney Muir's talent simply gets results in the courtroom. His confident, tactical handle over the case brought me great peace leading up to our trial. Before acquiring Atty. Muir, the situation was dauntingly stressful. Attorney Muir's adroit written advocacy skills are surpassed perhaps only by his remarkable courtroom deftness at-trial. He proved himself a fantastic trial lawyer in my case, winning us a swift victory. Attorney Muir is a five-star attorney offering competitive rates; I would enthusiastically recommend him to anyone.

Beautiful office, one of the nicest receptionists I have ever met. The representation is amazing, very knowledgeable and eased all of my worries any time something would arise. I highly recommend this firm to anyone! A little expensive but, worth every cent.

During my ex and my split up, I was denied seeing my daughter. Attorney Muir was the only attorney who seemed to genuinely care, out of the many I contacted. After our initial call, I went into his office and from there he was diligent and hit the ground running on my case. Lines of communication were always open and he helped me gain a parenting plan that allowed and established my rights as a father as well as a consistent schedule where I have my daughter half of the week. I'm writing this with gratitude and for the public to know how excellent not only this firm is, but how excellent of an attorney Anthony Muir is.5 star experience with lawyers that truly care.

In March, 2020, I met with Anthony Muir to discuss and prepare the details of my divorce. He was professional, supportive, and knowledgable. Even though his office had to close due to the Covid pandemic, Anthony continued to support me through numerous emails. He was quick to respond to my questions and made the whole process very easy. He was also able to keep me on my budget. I would highly recommend his services. Thank you!

A divorce is a painful and stressful experience. I contracted Anthony Muir to help me with mine...... Long story short; Anthony Muir made it easy for me; he is methodical, calm, professional and knowledgeable of the law.He guided, wisely advised and supported me. Most important, got the results I wanted.He is such a good attorney that i recommended him to a friend. My friend interviewed him and, right on the spot, gave him the job. Last night, she called me to express her deep gratitude for the referral. Another extremely happy customer. ThanksL. MonteroNew Hampshire
