I am not fluent with Yelp but as you can see I downloaded pictures from the early 90's in and…read morearound '93' of the house... Like I say: I took out a Building Permit with the City of Worcester. The Building Inspector's name at the time was Mike Pace. So, I was a Carpenter in Local 107; the Carpenter's Union in Worcester. My dad was MA State Buildings Inspector up until around 1985. I graduated from WBTHS, Worcester Boys Trade High School in 1974. The City can't find the records. I drew all the Plans up at the Carpenter's App Training Center back in 1992. But my mom subsequently destroyed the plans, and had the City records Kaput, I think she trashed it all. I don't know where anything is? The City ought to have the records fair and square. And they evidently don't. Anyway; I got everything all signed off by the Electrical Insp. the Fire Department, The Plumbing Inspector, and the Carpentry too; with an 'Occupancy Permit' too, back then in '93'; I've been living here ever since. I've showed you only the outside, I can't even begin what was going on, on the inside yet. I forgot to post the new Boiler room picture and the heating baseboards... I'm not good with YELP 21 Esther Street There's 4 floors here, plus a cellar underneath, I just spent 1 month getting my daughters gas fired hot forced water boiler all up and running...& spending $1,000.00 dollars It wouldn't work right for weeks, then I finally got it. At the building department the guy could only find a recent permit for plumbing in 2012. All sewage was coming up through the toilets in the basement because the city raised the sewage lines in the street with a larger circumference pipe in the street where top portion of the pipe was above the toilets in the basement. So; I've been doing maintenance all these years, even that plumbing permit was for a 'Back-flow preventor Valve' due to the city's new sewage pipes in the street... I had to instruct Mom to get a Back-Flow-Preventer Valve. I had to clean-up all little shit balls all over the basement apartments because the City put a new Pipeline in. The top of the wider pipe was above the toilets in the basement, so when it went over capacity the toilets over-flowed due to no back-Flo preventer valve in between. So who cleaned all that up and threw-out the rugs while mom got an insurance check for a flood and she got reimbursed for a Back-Flo preventer Valve which I recommended. It took weeks to dis-infect the place and get it back to normal. This is just one small maintenance problem over the years I've been here. But in times of flooding the pipe fills-up, the water, was higher than the basement apartment... so I had to rip all the rugs out in the basement and disinfect... my mom got flood insurance and the City had to reimburse her for the 'Back-Flow Preventer Valve', and the installation. Yes all these years doing maintenance thing here; for free My mother was getting old and she a type of had dementia from smoking cigarettes her whole life, especially when she passed away, but she had it due to smoking all them years... Deprivation of oxygen. Anyway; my sister steered her in all her decisions before my mom died... She had a bad time of it and turned afraid with a type of paranoia from dementia... I could only try to stay away. I have to go way out of my way all the time to not say anything outlandish to my sister as she is there only to smile and ANTAGONIZE any situation, that is to say, that she goes way out of her way to start conflicts by antagonization methods, she calls just to try to talk down to me? Her Lawyer stated that they were closing at the end of the month, this month January. I don't really know how they can Close on the house without any notice like in a week. I guess I got a letter I just found: "Attorney Josephine Valer from Michael Matthews. Hi, good morning, Mr. Matthews. My name is attorney Josephine Velia. I represent your sister Susan Luton. Can you give me a call the office? Uh, I'm gonna send you an email, um, my office is actually closed today, but it's 508-987-3981. I am looking to discuss with you um the execution of the deed. And a resolution, um, this is supposed to be closing at the end of January. So, give me a call so that you and I can discuss it and see if we can work out something to get it resolved for all parties. Thank you" from her attorney The Fire Inspector's Last Name was 'Sena'; He's now about 88 now: I think he's still alive actually, they must've suspected arson as he always looked at me kind of funny on other jobs. Wow! After going to Iraq a couple times: I got a Bachelors Degree there in Building Construction Management, from 2012 to 2016 at Wentworth Institute of Technology: 'WIT". I guess the lot in the back of the three decker is still in the kids names because when my dad passed in 1988 half the back-lot went to the kids whereas the other h

Chisholm Chisholm & Kilpatrick (CCK)…read more My experience with CCK was extremely disappointing. When I contacted them, I was met with a dismissive and unprofessional intake representative who refused to answer even basic questions about their process. I was told they would not speak with me at all unless I first obtained a withdrawal letter from my current firm -- even though I made it clear I would provide one if they decided to take my case. As a veteran, I expect professionalism, respect, and clear communication from any firm that claims to advocate for veterans. Instead, I encountered rigidity, poor customer service, and a complete lack of courtesy during the initial interaction. If this is how they treat veterans at the very first point of contact, I can only imagine how communication would be once they have your case. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend CCK.

The court gave us this guy as a special attorney (a public defender basically) after our original attorney fell ill. David was not well put together at the scheduled third meeting and I say 'third' meeting because he did not show up to the first or second meetings and did not even bother to call or text us to let us know he wouldn't be making it. He looked very unkempt and seemed to slur his speech but we didn't let that bother us at first because maybe that was how he talked: with a speech impediment. We just didn't know as this was our first conversation with him. Now we do know and he smelled like alcohol and perfume for each meeting thereafter. But when we brought it up to a person at the courthouse they brushed us off. When we paid too much money to him for an added expenditure he decided to try to pay us back with a rubber check, claiming his first divorce left him financially strapped. This clown is a mess and shouldn't be allowed to practice law. We've been in touch with the bar association as it seems the ethical thing to do for other people who need proper representation in front of such a complicated judicial system.

They tricked me and disrespected me. First, they apparently ignored the contract I had negotiated…read moreso they cost me$2000 for the house not being broom swept even though the contract I brought them specifically covered that. They waited till 5 minutes before closing on a Friday to tell me, so if I wanted the house that weekend I had no choice. When I complained I was told I should have read the contract. I thought my lawyer was supposed to be on my side! Secondly, the entire project of selling and buying both houses was my and only my project. Although my husband and FIL were there, that was just to sign things. The older male lawyer asked a question and as I tried to respond he told me to hush. I was traumatized so I did what I was told. Every question he asked my husband, my husband had to get the answer from me. Third, although I was on an extreme time crunch, they barely tried to get ahold of the other lawyer. I had to pay a month hotel bill for my in-laws as well as a month of maintenance and rent for the place I was buying Long and short they are unprofessional and do not care about their clients.

Ailla went above and beyond in working with seller's attorney to negotiate the P&S Agreement.

We thought the fee was very low, too low, for the excellent service, advice and talent we received and we offered to pay more than we were billed but they wouldn't let us do that. Definitely five stars!
