Be very careful getting this lawyer because he will just get your money and he will drop you like a ball. I don't recommend him at all!!!

I had a very unpleasant experience with Att. Stelman. The way he handled my case was absolutely…read moreunprofessional and at times even negligent. I was buying my first residence, cash transaction, and Att. Stelman's title examiner found a possible problem with the title. The advice i got was to "walk away". Needles to say i was very devastated, but after hearing Att. Stelman's explanation i realized that the consequences might be serios if i continue with the purchase. The owner of the property followed up with his insurance company and it turned out the insurance doesn't see any issues witht this property's title. At that point Att. Stelman advised me the opposite - go ahead with the purchase. I hired another attorney to do a second look on the paperwork so i can get more confidence in what is right and what isn't. By the time this got resolved i had to find a temporary place to live (because i've already notified my landlord i'll be moving out), move there for a month, store my belongings in a self storage and then move to the new property. Talk about stress and additional expenses! When we started to get closer to the closing day, he became more and more irresponsive. At that point i decided to purchase title insurance somewhere else and just let Att. Stelman finish the closing process. After the closing, he ignored my emails requesting to send the paperwork to the new attorney. And the paperwork that was available via public records was completed incorrectly. We had to go back to the seller for signature and then record the missing components with the city for additional fee. It took me a month to get a reply out of Mr. Stelman and only after i informed him that i'll be filing a complaint with MA board that oversees the rules of professional conduct for attorneys. I don't know why i got such negligent treatment, if it was because i was single lady or because i was buying cash and there was no bank to oversee what Att. Stelman was doing, but it doesn't matter. I believe one should be getting equaly professional service regardless of circumstances. And it wasn't the case with Att.Stelman. To sum it up, going through legal issues is stressful enough so you don't want to deal with additional stress added by dealing with Att. Stelman. I don't believe i need to chase my attorney down to get my questions answered and i do expect to get dedicated and quality service. What i got was neither.

The reviewer has three reviews for real estate attorneys and in each review she states "this was my first time buying a home". Impossible... Anyway, to my review. I have worked with Attorney Stelman on numerous transactions as a real estate professional and I have found him to be overly responsive and very accessible in all occasions. Adversely, Attorney Stelman was once on the other side of a poor transaction where I could not get my client to sign a resale and Attorney Stelman worked his tail off to get his client his money back. I think he is a fantastic attorney and when my personal real estate attorney retires, he's going to be my guy. He is awesome!

Leslie Sleeper Madge is now located in Westford at Madge & Johnson…read more To make a long story short, Leslie put my families home in an irrevocable trust not taking into consideration that it was remortgaged during high interest rates, due to an addition, and that someday they would refinance with a lower rate. When the interest rates dropped my mother tried to refinance and the banks refused. She was very upset and called Leslie, MANY times, for an explanation. Leslie NEVER spoke to my mother. She had her assistant call and tell her there was nothing she could do but dissolve the trust. That was not a consideration as my mother was 85 and the look back, if a nursing home was needed, is 5 years. We were told that my mother could have refinanced if Leslie had included terms in the trust that allowed for refinancing. She did not. My parents spent A LOT of money and time with Leslie Madge and I feel the least she could have done was have had the common courtesy to speak to my mother and show some concern over her situation. I will never refer anyone to her or her firm. She can not take the time out to deal with former clients to right a wrong. Once she receives the money it is a done deal..
