When signing on we all see those pop up ads. Tonight I noticed one "best attorneys in Natick"…read more It made me realize although I've written a few reviews for auto repairs, etc., I've never given credit to a man, John Locke and his legal team. John is the son of the infamous late Senator David Locke of Wellesley, .. a man I greatly admire. John is a down to earth, caring, responsive, fair, real Man. Someone who actually answers his own phone, Won't leave you hanging but treat you with the respect of a family member. I've used his services a few times and could not more highly recommend anyone. John has built a quality team "Locke, Fullerton & Lundwall" that would make his Dad proud. This is an old school trained practice where Senator Locke was seen in the office until his untimely passing. More than any other review John Locke deserves my sincere appreciation and recommendation as a quality human being.

The high level of trust established during these three engagements stays with my family today. I recommend her services.

I rarely write 1-star reviews but strongly feel this is necessary…read more My husband and I met with Jennifer Deland to discuss estate planning, and the meeting it was extremely unproductive and frustrating. Jennifer requires a $400 non-refundable fee for a consultation fee unless you sign on with her within 30 days - this was our first mistake, but a good (costly) learning for us. First, we sat in a tiny, dingy room that barely fit three as she struggled to find usable space on a whiteboard that was stained with marker. Realizing she couldn't erase the board, she opted to use someone else's faded hen-scratches to "guide" our discussion. She jumped from topic to topic erratically, and our specific questions seemed to throw her off. She repeatedly referenced what other clients have done rather than provide guidance on what would best suit our needs, which is why we were there! We came prepared with a 1-page Asset Summary that she barely read through and asked where our "receipts" were. Why she needed proof of our assets is beyond me - this was supposed to be a consultation. She did, however, pull public records of our home in advance of the meeting. As it became apparent that she wanted us to "pick" an approach and sign on with her, we pushed back, citing that we were in no way prepared to select an approach given our minimal understanding of our options. She then leaned into us and rudely blurted out, "Well, what is your objective?" Stunned, we responded, "to create a plan". The conversation was maddening. After a few unsuccessful attempts to convince us to sign on with her, she said, "OK, let me make one last-ditch effort" (were we buying a used car?) She began typing frantically on her laptop, explaining that she needed to make thorough notes about our meeting and said we'd be receiving a letter with "curt language" in the mail, but we could still change our minds within 30 days. To wrap up, she asked if we had a "little check for her". Sorry, $400 is hardly little. We paid her, took our asset inventory and left.

My tax problems caused me a lot of sleepless nights and anxiety over the last two years. To say…read morethey were a bit complicated is an understatement. I was a bit like a deer in the headlights, frozen and unable to deal with my tax problems. I had no idea where to turn for help. In talking with my cousin about it, he mentioned his lifelong friend Matt Previte who he's known for over 50 years and I'm glad he did. After speaking with Matt, I felt a sense of relief that there was someone who knew what to do and how to help me resolve my tax problems. After filing a power of attorney and digging into my problem with the IRS, Matt and his associate Natalya discovered the IRS did not have a 2021 tax return on file, even though I believed my previous accountant had taken care of this for me. They got to work and prepared my 2021 tax return, despite having missing information. Once my 2021 tax return was processed by the IRS, they were able to set up a reasonable payment plan with the IRS to pay my back taxes. They were also able to get about $36,000 in penalties and interest removed! I can't say enough about Matt and Natalya. They were very proactive, professional, and a pleasure to deal with. I thought my situation was hopeless. They proved it wasn't. They were able to resolve a complex multi-year tax problem and save me a ton of money to boot! I can't thank them enough.

From the very beginning, they reassured me, explained everything clearly, and guided me step by step on exactly what I needed to do to fix the issue.

Having someone who truly knows what they're doing made all the difference, and the peace of mind I have now is priceless. If you're dealing with IRS issues or any tax problems, do not hesitate -- this is the person you want on your side. Highly, highly recommend.

The communication between this firm with lenders, buyers, and sellers are definitely the reason why I would never recommend this firm. From paralegal to receptionist, the lawyers were not on top of their clients, and had poor turnaround time with other lawyers in the area. One of the partners on the letterhead actually lied to me when he was just trying to get my signature on his documents and caused more grief, tension, and bitterness in the end between all parties. There are too many RE lawyers in the area to use, and for much less billable. I would never recommend this law firm, and they need to have a course in sensitivity training and people skills.
