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.

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.

Stephanie is extremely competent in her role as a real estate attorney. In this competitive market,…read moreyou want to do everything within your power to ensure you're maximizing the law to your benefit. A bad decision would not to have an attorney representing you when either buying or selling a property. A good decision would be to work with Stephanie. There are so many issues that could come up when either buying or selling. While being fiercely competitive, Stephanie is friendly and warm, all qualities important when representing a client. Thank you Stephanie for your help with my real-estate issues.

I was very impressed by the level of care and service I received from Hillary and Nick at The Law…read moreOffice of David Rocheford. When I called with a title issue concern, Hillary took detailed notes to fully understand the situation. Within minutes, Nick had called me back, thanks to Hillary's thorough notes getting him up to speed quickly on the specifics of my issue. Nick took the time to answer all of my questions and address my concerns regarding the title. He didn't rush through the call and even offered helpful advice beyond just addressing the technical legal aspects. It's so rare for a law firm to provide this level of personalized, prompt attention. Most attorneys keep clients waiting for callbacks or rushing through discussions. I can see now why The Law Office of David Rocheford has such glowing reviews. The attention to detail that Hillary showed in properly noting my issue paid off in Nick's ability to represent me quickly and effectively right off the bat. They obviously work as a seamless team dedicated to customer service, not just pushing cases through. I would highly recommend this law firm to anyone needing title or real estate legal help. The level of care they showed me is exceptional in this field.

I always pride myself in responding quickly to emails and calls but I was in awe of how fast paralegal Robert Heckman would respond to us.

In short, if you need a law office that is responsive and attentive to detail, definitely consider them!

Professionally and personally in my 63 years I have dealt with various lawyers for various things…read more Working with Chelsea Doogan when selling our home was hands down the most painful and anxiety provoking experience of them all. 1) Rude. (eg. Ask her a question and her answer many times is prefaced by "As I told you...."-whether she did or not). 2) Overly sensitive/defensive. (eg. Salient times during the negotiation she would take push back hard at any suggestion she was off base-not even hearing us out). 3)Not detail orientated; pretty big you think! (eg. Twice we caught non-disputed clerical errors; one by her and one by her 'raved about' assistant who was going to take great care of us. I could go on an on. It got so bad , directly and indirectly, by her participation in the process that at one point I called my realtor almost in tears ready to blow up the very great deal we had going because of her impact on the process. Thank God for my great realtor who kept things from ending. Chelsea knew fairly early on, through Alyssa, of my big discontent with her. Rather than try to repair things she wrote a defensive email making things worst. I kept wondering where Hornung and Scimone were in the process....whether they oversee the folks that work for them---hear how things are going..... The whole process felt like she was working more for the folks buying the house than for my wife and I. In our first meeting she raved about the other lawyer....how he had just made partner or was about to.... . She said she was telling me to reassure me we were dealing with a stand-up person, but for weeks after it felt , subjectively and the deal she ironed out, much more like she was hoping to impress him/not be in any conflict with him. Good luck with your endeavor. We were selling a home and renting from the buyers for a bit after they bought it while trying to buy a new home in Florida....and still working and packing up and saying good-bye to Franklin MA. The kind of once in a life-time stressful position you want a good team around you. Through the help of many, including things she did do right, we got it down-why I give 2 stars and not one. Best.

The home I was purchasing is in a new development and was still being completed during the purchase process. We had so many questions regarding the builder, the builder's lawyer, our own mortgage broker, etc., and for every question we had, Leslie told us not to worry and that she would handle it. And she did. By the time we got to closing, all of our questions were answered and the details were all worked out. I returned to Leslie for the sale of my previous home, and my experience was identical. Leslie handled all of the details, and was excellent at explaining everything to me throughout the process. She made sure that I understood everything I needed to do along the way. The closing process was straightforward and handled efficiently and professionally by Leslie. I found that Leslie was both a joy to work with, and as tenacious as she needed to be to complete the purchase and sale of my homes. I will highly recommend Leslie, and Hamilton & Hamilton to anyone that needs a great real estate attorney.
