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.

(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. When the situation took a pleasant turn for the best Ken helped resolve everything and has given myself and my roommates peace of mind moving forward. 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.

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.

From our very first conversation, Matt made me and my husband feel comfortable and confident throughout the entire process. He took the time to explain each step clearly, answered all of our questions with patience, and ensured we felt fully informed. Matt's professionalism and attention to detail were exceptional, but what truly stood out was how much he genuinely cared. We never felt like "just another client"--he treated our closing as if it were his own, and that gave us such peace of mind. Thanks to his dedication and expertise, everything went smoothly and stress-free. I would recommend Matt and his team at Scafidi Law to anyone needing real estate legal support--you'll be in the best hands possible!

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!
