Martin Hochberg & Cianflone, PLLP

Martin Hochberg & Cianflone, PLLP is an excellent law firm. I would highly recommend this firm. My husband I deal with John Martin Jr and his paralegal Kate. Kate has been very helpful, when we have any questions, she looks into the situation finds the solution then calls or emails us. She is very efficient! Thank you.

Andy/Jon/Team,
Now that this saga is behind us, on behalf of myself and our family, I would like to take a minute to thank you for all of your efforts on our behalf. Following the property loss that was experienced at Lori and our mothers home it was reported promptly to the insurance carrier. What followed were reasons that many people form a negative opinion of their insurance carrier. We experienced months of inaction on their part, delayed and inadequate remediation plan, lowball compensation proposals and punitive actions against us after questioning their response.
Fortunately for us we had called your offices here in Pittsfield and were informed that you had assembled an in house team , comprised of specialists for exactly this type of scenario. After our initial meeting, where we discussed the details of our issues with the team, you all introduced yourselves, explained each of your roles, how you could hopefully provide an amicable solution and we agreed to retain you to do just that.
It was the best decision we could have made. You had told us it might be a long process and it was but from the first day everything changed. Firstly, we were told not to have any direct contact with our carrier which was a big relief. Once they received Andy’s notice informing them that they would be representing us, all of a sudden they started responding…Wow! Then Jon stepped into high gear handling the day to day interactions, working with us so he could understand the scope of loss, find and coordinate with top local contractors to address lingering issues and mentor us as to our responsibilities in the process.
I’d like to thank you all for going above and beyond what I think most would expect in order to ensure we had the best possible outcome for our situation. I’m one hundred percent sure this would have never happened on our own. I know that with the members and experience level of your team, you probably don’t need many recommendations…, but if you ever have a client on the fence contemplating whether they should retain your services , please show them this letter and know you have an enthusiastic one here.
Thank you, Rock & Lori

Insurance companies are notoriously difficult to deal with when the need to file a substantial claim occurs. It was no different for my son. Within a few months of purchasing his first home, a tree fell on it and caused significant damage. The insurance company wanted to pay a third of the cost to repair. While in negotiations for the full cost of repair, another tree fell on the house. This time, at the opposite end, resulting in additional, significant damage. When he filed the second claim, the insurance company accused him of fraud. He submitted additional photos, not only of his home, but of his neighbors, as well. Once again, the insurance company offered to pay a fraction of the cost to repair.

Because I received excellent guidance from Andy with my estate planning when my son’s father died, I recommended my son contact him for guidance with the insurance claims. It was the best thing he could have done! From that moment on, Andy’s team went right to work and nearly two years later, the case was closed and my son had the funds to repair his home and reimburse me for the legal fees incurred.

The difference in stress levels of trying to fight the insurance company alone and with no experience, versus having Andy’s team of experts leading the charge was a huge relief to this mother who just watched her young adult son lose his father and then, his home. Repairs will be long and arduous, but thanks to the law firm for their expert consultant, Jonathan Hornbeck, he will stay on as project manager to continue the work of recommending, hiring, coordinating, and managing resources to ensure my son’s home is safe and as beautiful as it was before the trees damaged it.

If you are struggling with a claim from an insurance company, I would highly recommend the law firm of Martin Hochberg & Cianflone, and if you need a project manager you can depend on, hire Jonathan Hornbeck. I am so relieved my son did!

I have had a very difficult year and I am very grateful for the expertise and advice I was given by my attorney Dan Martin. Dan is so easy to talk to and he really makes a complicated process so much easier and that makes a world of difference. I also really liked the staff.. dealt quite a bit with his wonderful paralegal, Autumn, who was always available to help and she is so nice. I would highly recommend this wonderful firm. Thank you, Deb Galvagni

I've had some very difficult life trials in the past year and I am not sure where I would be without the superb assistance and advice I received from this practice. David Cianflone and Andrew Hochberg were spot on with what I needed to do and always guided me in a way where I always felt assured that things were going to be OK.
Chrissy Sherman was always on the periphery keeping it all going with wisdom and kindness. We are so very fortunate to have such a stellar law firm in our community!!
Thank you!!!

This law firm by far is the most professional agency I've ever come across. I am so thankful they represented me in my case and they won! They went further and beyond what was expected of them. They represent you and go to work for you until the job is done. I also want to add that a consultant that works with them (Jonathan Hornbeck) was literally a pitbull, always updating me of my case, staying on top of things. Communication with everybody was 100% satisfaction. I just can't say enough of all these individuals that truly go to work for you. Will definitely use again, thank you!!

As a business owner, I strive for clients to receive the best possible advice packaged in the most enjoyable experience. Martin, Hochberg, & Cianflone are our partners in delivering that.

But that is not enough. In the absence of implementation, advice is useless. When I need clients of Berkshire Money Management to get great estate planning advice implemented, we will cut the check to MCH ourselves. That is how confident we are our clients will receive massive value.

John has always been kind, caring and helpful. He has been our lawyer for almost 20 years now and we are very pleased with his quick response and advice. It is comforting to know that he is right there when we need him.

John Martin has been my lawyer, for both personal and business, for over 30 years. He, along with his three sons and the rest of the staff, has always done an exceptional job. I would not use anyone else!

Tom Martin took care of our house closing. His process was simple and he helped us feel confident at every turn. We'll work together again!

They are absolutely wonderful. We are so glad we found them!

I love this Law Firm. Their attention to detail and professionalism is truly amazing! Hard to find a firm that treats you like family and cares about your well being. Really great to work with and would recommend them to anyone.

John Martin is professional, knowledgeable, experienced, and creative. He was available when we needed him and was communicative and compassionate. Highly recommend!!!

I know we’re in good hands with Josh and Andy Hochberg as our family attorneys. They patiently answered our questions about the process, and we’re very grateful to have their knowledge and experience as we continue to work with their firm.

Had a wonderful experience working with the team at Martin, Hochberg and Cianflone for my house closing. They were helpful, knowledgeable, and great to work with. Thank you!

Best in town. They took care of 3 generations of my family. Were always a phone call or email away. If anything they care about their clients to much.

My wife and I had an amazing experience putting together our family estate plan. The legal team was full service and incredibly knowledgeable, I highly recommend this group!

John and his staff were very professional and knowledgeable with creating our estate plan. I highly recommend them.

The Martin boys and the staff have excelled at always being helpful with all my legal issues and concerns. I highly recommend this firm to anyone in need of legal assistance.

I've worked with them for years. Not only is John a great guy, he is attentive, and gives you the time you deserve.
