Andrea Goldman helped us out at a very stressful moment in our dispute with our contractor. I…read morefound her by reading her blog and reached out to her via email. We'd had a really difficult contractor who had been verbally abusive, messy, and didn't finish our renovation in time for us to move into our house....and then abandoned the job. My wife and I had just bought our first home and decided to gut-rehab kitchen & bath, doing a bunch of the work ourselves. We were worried about getting our end done - we should've worried about the contractor who didn't pay subs (who refused to finish work), left big chunks of work until the DAY before we moved in, (on a 10 week project), was unlicensed, verbally abusive and tried to extort extra money from us. In the end, we just wanted him gone, but were worried about legal repercussions of firing him without paying him everything in the contract. Ms Goldman's website helped me learn a lot about the legal aspects I needed to consider, and she even took time to speak to me on the phone, listen to my situation, let me know I probably didn't need to hire a lawyer for the amount of money involved, and even helped come up with a carefully-worded email letting this guy know we were through with him. Ms Goldman is incredibly generous to share her time and knowledge with the general public on her blog. In our case, it made a huge difference. After feeling so out of my depth with a contractor who clearly knew the system and how to manipulate it, I felt like I had someone with real expertise on these conflicts on my side. At the end of the day, without having to pay hundreds of dollars in legal fees or go to court, we simply sent out our "goodbye" email and never heard from the guy again - hooray! Thanks, Andrea, for working with us - I will surely bring all future contracts to your office for review before embarking on something like this again!

I had a wonderful experience working with this firm, including John Ruggieri, Michelle Beauregard,…read moreand Mary Beth McCarthy. As first time home buyers, we certainly had trepidation about the process, but they took care of us. They pointed out whatever deviated from a standard agreement, and kept us informed on "need to know" dates and documents. They were more than fair and patient with us. I would recommend them highly, and will go to the firm again for future home purchases!

I've bought and sold a few houses over the years and recently decided to used Pat and his team for…read moreselling a house in Newton MA. I was not disappointed in the least, and very happy with the result. All deadlines were meet and the transaction went off without a hitch. I wasn't at the closing as out of town and Pat's team handled it all excellently. Pat and his team explained issues and each in the process fully. Every transaction is slightly unique, this was no exception, and his experience came through as it seems they have seen almost every scenario. Plus it helps that they have a great relationship with other conveyancing attorneys. So I found that when issues came up, they were quickly nipped in the bud, to ensure they didn't blow up into larger problems. It all makes sense as Pat's a great stand up guy and I'm sure others that he's done business with in the past think the same thing, so would not hesitate working with him. I would recommend Pat and his team to anyone looking to buy or sell based on his experience, efficiency and works in a clear practical results oriented way to ensure you get a good result. Best, Will

Before I moved in to my new place Arthur went above and beyond to verify the property and landlord…read morehistory. Fast forward, when I started having troubles with a roommate. Arthur laid out the game plan. His knowledge of the law and patterns in people, really helped me stay ahead of the legal battle that eventually came. I felt prepared, I had my timeline and paper trail ready. Arthur then connected me to a colleague who represented me. The idea of going to court and having legal troubles made me anxious, couldn't sleep sometimes. Arthur always responded, gave reassurance, looked over everything. In events where you need legal support, having a lawyer that cares about your life and outcome outside of the courtroom is essential. You want to keep fighting and Arthur really gives you the time and attention to push through the battle.
