We selected David as our real estate lawyer to purchase our first home…read more He was very responsive from the first phone call (responding within minutes) and replied to texts and questions very quickly. He was always on-top of everything and was especially helpful in working with a mortgage lender (big bank) that was often delayed in obtaining documents. David helped us stay on track despite the mortgage delays, negotiating to extend contingencies and close the purchase on time. He was very upfront with fees and available protections, and was overall a great person to work with on this important financial transaction. At the closing, he brought a good sense of humor. Overall, I highly recommend David to represent you (and your bank) for your next real estate purchase.

He caught errors in the deed before closing and required the sellers to reissue it before we'd proceed. That's exactly what you want from a closing attorney: Straightforward, competent, responsive, and no surprises. I would absolutely use him again.

I found Vining via Yelp and decided to contact them regarding a very sticky tenant/landlord…read moresituation I had gotten embroiled in. (And couldn't be happier that i did) Ken laid everything out clearly and was enormously helpful in understanding the situation. He laid out his cost structures in a sensible way and his rates were very reasonable.

If you're having landlord/tenant problem and want someone to lay things out straight for you and solve tough problems, call up Vining, you'll be glad you did.

Stephanie Petty is a great attorney. She helped my wife and I with a few real estate transactions…read moreand she was phenomenal. Her attention to detail and commitment to her clients was unparalleled. On one occasion she drove over an hour from her office to the property we were selling to meet one of the service people....That was incredible!!! Only someone with her highly focused work ethic would go the extra mile and help a customer like that. Additionally her expertise with real estate law saved my wife and I from buying one property that would have been a financial pitfall because she found some arcane easement that would have been very costly to have removed. In short. if you are looking for the best real estate attorney in the Boston area you need to talk with Stephanie.

Thank you Stephanie for your help with my real-estate issues.

They were up against one of the wealthiest property developers in Massachusetts in a case that the other side were convinced they had won from the first court appearance. Chris and Ed worked tirelessly for me for five years and by the time it came to trial they were beyond well prepared. Despite constant threats and intimidation, court outbursts and lots of shenanigans by the other side - both in and out of court- Chris and Ed remained steadfast, focused and totally on point. They outran, outplayed and outscored the opposing team on every count and by the time the jury came back we had won every count. In a David and Goliath match up - Chris and Ed were not only the better player on the day - but for the duration of the entire five years. I cannot express my gratitude strongly enough - not only for their outstanding performance, but for their super friendly and caring attitudes, their genuine respect and concern for their clients and their commitment to serve - by not being $$$ focused but to help those in the community who need real help. If you are looking for the very best of Boston lawyers then look no further than these two gentleman - they are The A team in Boston.

Received an email response back from an attorney at the firm asking the name of her landlord to make sure there was no conflict. I sent their name and never heard back from them.

Jeff handled the closing for the purchase of my new house and the sale of my existing house…read more During the purchase closing, he discovered a major financing error by my lender that resulted in a significant savings for me. And when a title issue showed up during the sale of my existing home, Jeff went the extra mile to uncover the title insurance policy from when I purchased the property almost 20 years ago. This allowed the sale to proceed with no additional cost to me. It's rare that someone makes you feel like they're dropping everything they're doing just for you, but that's exactly what Jeff did. I cannot recommend him enough.

I found Jeff via yelp for our Newton home sale in the spring of 2018…read more Our situation was somewhat complicated, and Jeff never wavered in his patient and thorough approach. Even when things got stressful, or other parties in the transaction threw unexpected demands his way, Jeff was always very professional, turned work around very promptly, gave us candid and good advice, calmed us down when appropriate, and made himself available for what we needed. We wholeheartedly recommend Jeff - he made our somewhat (ahem) "adventurous" home sale as smooth as possible. We wish we did more frequent real estate transactions so that we could work with Jeff more often!

Definitely recommend Ali and his team to anyone who's looking for real estate attorney services. We'll be working with them in the future again for sure.

I've worked with Jason on several real estate transactions and cannot stress enough how impressed…read moreand satisfied I have been with his services. Jason is diligent, straight-forward, and very resourceful. One of my transactions involved some unique circumstances, and Jason was able to uncover some important factors that all other attorneys involved missed, and would have been costly to me in the future if he had not discovered it. I'm also impressed by the amount of research that Jason does on his cases, the organization of all documents, and the follow-up long afterward. He called me long after to give me updates on my real estate deal, and a few good tips. Overall, I've worked with other attorneys in the past, but none that have put as much attention to quality work and customer service as Jason.

We absolutely recommend him to others and won't hesitate to use Jason again in the future!
