They are great at communicating, and really knowledgeable when it comes to what could or may happen in court ahead of time. Everything they told me, they hit the nail on the head. They didn't drop the ball on me, and I couldn't be happier. I HIGHLY recommend this firm. Attorney Teresa made it possible for me to be represented, and Attorney's Tarasidis, and Brenton, saved me in court. YOU GUYS ALL ROCK!!!!

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 hired this attorney for an uncontested divorce. What should have been a routine, 20-30 minute…read morehearing turned into a three-and-a-half-hour ordeal entirely due to counsel's failure to appear on time and a complete breakdown in communication. On December 18, I arrived at court on time with the only document I was required to personally provide. My attorney did not. For several hours, during a live court proceeding, I received no communication, no updates, and no guidance despite placing multiple calls, including a sustained call lasting over 15 minutes. I was left standing in the courthouse hallway while the judge, clerk, opposing party, and I waited, unsure whether my case would even be heard. Court appearances are not optional. Silence during a live court matter is indefensible. Afterward, communication remained poor. When I formally requested an explanation and accountability for what occurred, I received only administrative updates that avoided the actual conduct in question. No explanation for the failure to appear. No acknowledgment of the impact. No accountability. I have since filed a formal grievance with the bar association documenting the failure to appear and the prolonged lack of communication. If you value timely representation, clear communication, and basic professional responsibility, I cannot recommend this firm. The stress and uncertainty caused by this experience were entirely avoidable and fell well below any reasonable standard of care.

I am honestly disappointed in the response that I had received for my inquiry. This firm had…read moreassisted in me getting my 100% and the VA refused to give them an explaination as to why the agency took most of my retroactive pay without justifiable cause or due process. The VA not only deleted my representation file and I had to resubmit, but after the VA had blown them off repeatedly, they closed my case and did not charge me. This I do appreciate. Well to fast forward to 12/30/2020, after I had to advocate for myself after being very mistreated by the agency and the liason's crude remarks to these congressionals, it was found after I pushed for an audit and hearing that the VA indeed took my retroactive pay without due process and they could not find that I had this debt in question. But the VA gave no remedy other than I am 100% when they took almost $1200.00, which part of it was supposed to go to CCK for their assistance. I am in the position now that my brain lesions have been undiagnosed and categorized as idiopathic when I have more than 20+ lesions scattered all over my brain. There is two GAO reports with one stating that I was in a highly toxic and hazardous environment when I was deployed and burn pits. The other report was stating that the VA has been researching Gulf War Illness aka Chronic Multisymptiom Illness and found that over 25% of gulf war veterans post 9/11 to current have returned with structural damage to their brains and white matter brain disease. This information is also under the VA.gov website updated july of this year with their findings being posted in July 2017. There is also an NIH report stating the same thing, yet I have been picked, prodded, and used as a guinea pig, now receiving elevated care for the agency's apparent negligence to us veterans. I have been recently denied again and filled out a NOD. The VA also has stated in my email that I received that they are extending disability claims if conditions have worsened that were previously denied under Gulf War Syndrome to 10 years back. I have been calling attorneys in hopes of getting the justice that I and many other veterans deserve and their families for that matter because brain diseases have taken so many veterans that have served in theatre and they die fighting and devastating families. My condition that has been said to be idiopathic has outside physicians concerned that I see now since I have moved out of my last state that I resided. Both conditions are not good. They lead to strokes (which according to these conditions, I am in the age range) and early onset dementia. They are working hard to get a diagnosis so they can treat me before whatever this is is too late. What disappointed me with CCK is that I received a call back and expressed my concerns. They said that they have helped me with the maximum and all they could do is to refer me to the DAV. I am not a member of the DAV and they have not handled my claims since 2016. With this new information that they can look up themselves, can help so many veterans and it was tossed aside and I needed to regroup myself and fight back tears. My son moved home from Washingtons State to Georgia because he is concerned about his mom and I have been struggling, in the hospital and intermittinly falling more than usual. I will find another attorney that cares about veterans, all veterans and are able to keep up with the new developments that the agency is admitting to under a bunch of website sub-categories with veterans still fighting for their benefits and trying to avoid malpractices that some areas of the agency has made. This is beyond a VSO and leaves veterans like me hopeless or 22/day. Shame on you for disgarding veterans like trash for profit. Just say that it is too complicated for you to win. I would have appreciated that response better than things that I already know and tried. Unless the agency is made accountable, I guess that you will never be out of business pretending to care about disabled veterans needs.
