I worked with one of their lawyers who did an outstanding job. Liss Law walked me through the entire process and ensured I completed all my required seminars to comply with Bankruptcy rules and guidelines. They filed all the paperwork for me which was very helpful because the process itself looks very overwhelming. During the bankruptcy proceedings I had a debtor who challenged the bankruptcy proceedings that their debt was non-dis-chargeable under bankruptcy law. It took over 2 years of back and forth with the debtors lawyer but in the end they caved and their entire settlement was discharged. Liss Law goes above and beyond to help you throughout the bankruptcy process and their dedication to knowing the laws, as they change, and their determination to get you out of debt is stellar and nothing less than what you would expect from a reputable law firm. Thank you Liss Law and my lawyer for all your help. I can now start fresh.

I am VERY disappointed in the inadequate services when I refinanced my condo in 2016. My original…read moremortgage was through Mass Housing, and included 2 loans as part of a first-time homebuyers program. They neglected to discharge BOTH mortgages that I had, which I was made aware of now that we are selling the condo and buying our dream house. I've been trying to get this resolved for 2 WEEKS - with no results. Their closings team has been good at responding to let me know they are working on it, and has been very nice, but has not understood the level of urgency and that time is of the essence. Since we are closing in WEEKS, I had to escalate this myself...and after LOTS of redirecting phone calls, I finally got Mass Housing to help me. I cannot believe the ineptitude of their services - how can you pay off TWO mortgages, but only discharge ONE?!?!?! Be warned - if you hire this law firm, be prepared to double check to make sure they ACTUALLY finish the job.

I found Attorney Emma Kramer online while searching for the best lawyer in Boston to handle my…read moreminor children's inheritance involving estates and trusts. From our very first meeting, I was impressed by her deep legal knowledge, clear and direct communication style, and sharp wit in navigating what should have been a straightforward inheritance case--complicated unnecessarily by an uncooperative trustee. Attorney Kramer was transparent about each necessary step and honest about which actions were worth pursuing or setting aside to efficiently reach our goals. She approached the case with calm logic, even as circumstances changed, and was consistently upfront about costs. I appreciated her patience in addressing my many questions, her genuine enthusiasm for working with me, and above all, her strong work ethic--always keeping timelines, deadlines, and appointments on track--along with her unwavering commitment to securing the best outcome for my children. Over the course of our four-year collaboration--prolonged by COVID-19, court delays, and the trustee's resistance--Attorney Kramer responded promptly to phone calls and emails, always making me feel heard, respected, and like a true partner in the process. With Emma Kramer by our side, I felt confident, empowered, and fully supported in fighting for what we knew was right. In the end, we got exactly what we set out to achieve. And we won.

When I bought my house in 2015, my realtor recommended Cynthia Sherman, from Kajko, Weisman &…read moreColasanti. She was absolutely fantastic, walking me through all of the complexities of the purchase. I have used her three times since then for real estate transactions, and she has never left me feeling confused or looked down on. She held my hands through panic (most memorably, the bats we found in my home a week before close and were told we could not legally evict for months!). Cynthia and her support team at the firm have always felt completely in my corner, responsive to my needs and questions, and respectful of me as a client. I would absolutely use them again.

We hired Keira Gibson to represent us in a probate-related real estate purchase. While she is…read moreclearly knowledgeable about real estate law, our experience was frustrating. Communication was reactive rather than proactive, and much of the time we had to chase updates or check the probate court docket ourselves. As first-time buyers, we needed more guidance and reassurance than we received. We also had issues with her paralegal, Stacey, who sent us an extremely rude and dismissive email that turned out to be wrong. This contributed to more preventable delays and costs, and Keira never addressed it with us. Keira's tone was often blunt, dismissive, and at times rude. For example, when my husband (who is an attorney but not a real estate attorney) asked her for her professional estimate based on her experience, she responded: "You're an attorney, you know that the court is unpredictable." That kind of remark was passive-aggressive and unhelpful, and it set the tone for much of our relationship with her. We also repeatedly asked her to communicate with us more proactively, but nothing ever changed. At closing, she asked us to sign two optional items we had opted out of earlier in the process. She said she needed to "check" to make sure we weren't being charged for them in the closing costs. I had already confirmed we weren't, and this is something her office should have caught when reviewing the final numbers. Instead, it created more unnecessary confusion at the table. Keira's style of communication made an already stressful process much harder than it needed to be. Edit: I have gone back and updated my review. After posting this review, the managing partner, Peter Kajko, personally reached out to us. He was kind, heartfelt, and genuinely listened to our concerns. He acknowledged our frustrations, explained the firm's perspective, and took the time to make sure we felt heard. While our experience with Keira was disappointing, we truly appreciated Peter's professionalism and sincerity in addressing the situation

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!
