I rarely leave negative reviews, but I feel compelled to share our experience because purchasing a…read morehome is one of the biggest financial and emotional decisions a family can make. We hired attorney Nicole Torres during what became an incredibly stressful real estate transaction. We were facing serious inspection concerns, including extremely high radon levels, and were desperately trying to understand our rights and protect nearly $40,000 deposit being held of our hard-earned money. Instead of feeling reassured and guided through the process, we felt increasingly anxious and confused. We repeatedly asked questions because we were genuinely scared of making the wrong decision and losing our deposit. Rather than feeling like we had an advocate in our corner, we often felt dismissed when we questioned the advice we were being given. We were advised that our inspection contingency had expired (we later learned it had not) and that our deposit could be at risk if we did not continue moving forward. We were also led to believe that the radon issues did not give us grounds to terminate the contract as it was "not part of the inspection process" and that we had signed a contract "for inspection only". As buyers trying to navigate a complicated situation, we relied heavily on her advice and guidance. What was most disappointing was that when we expressed concerns or asked follow-up questions, we did not feel heard. The conversations often left us feeling more intimidated than informed. Eventually, our discomfort became so significant that we sought alternate legal counsel because we no longer felt confident that our interests were being fully protected. The second opinion we received gave us a very different understanding of our contractual rights and deadlines, including the ability to terminate the contract and get our deposit back, which proved that the advice we received from her was not accurate and would have cost us $40,000!!!

Nicole was always professional, knowledgeable, and very responsive to our needs. Our mortgage was complex with a lot of moving parts and variables but she made the process smooth by ensuring the bank, the seller's, and the seller's attorney communicated often and push to make sure the bank sent her the closing documents in time for us to close on time, during a period it looked like it wouldn't happen until after the weekend. I highly recommend her to anyone looking to purchase a home in Massachusetts!

Her knowledge of the market and the neighborhoods around Boston was extensive, allowing us the peace of mind that we were getting great value for our purchase. She also made sure we had a smooth and quick closing, everything was easily explained and she made sure to walk through every little minutia about the contract and condo docs. She also was super personable, taking all calls and emails and even leaving a lovely housewarming present. Could not recommend this firm and Ms. Hannum more, will be using her for everything in the future!

We worked with George Megaloudis and he was very pleasant however he was difficult to reach and…read morequite often unresponsive. We were connected with him through our ARAG services at work and ended up not being very happy. He does the bare minimum (or at least did with us... we were purchasing a home). After the purchase was completed we found out from both our realtor and broker that there were some things he should have done but asked them to do, which they thought was odd but didn't want to hold up our process... from what I can tell he does the bare minimum needed to get paid by our ARAG program. We also needed some additional help with something after the sale because we couldn't get a hold of the seller's attorney and he said he would reach out and make some calls and then never got back to us and is just ignoring our calls and emails. Others might have a good experience, however I feel he is just in it to get your money for the least amount of work needed.
