Simply called to ask about services as law firms change their practice areas frequently these days…read more The "receptionist" was incredibly rude and bum rushed me off the phone. Just shows that this is not a law firm that has any interest in helping humans or being human in their interactions. Yes everyone is busy... that's no excuse to be rude to people just because they aren't profitable or a cash cow to you. Any law firm that allows or encourages that type of interaction with potential clients is a showing you a red flag.

As first time home buyers, we certainly had trepidation about the process, but they took care of us. They pointed out whatever deviated from a standard agreement, and kept us informed on "need to know" dates and documents. They were more than fair and patient with us. I would recommend them highly, and will go to the firm again for future home purchases!

I've bought and sold a few houses over the years and recently decided to used Pat and his team for…read moreselling a house in Newton MA. I was not disappointed in the least, and very happy with the result. All deadlines were meet and the transaction went off without a hitch. I wasn't at the closing as out of town and Pat's team handled it all excellently. Pat and his team explained issues and each in the process fully. Every transaction is slightly unique, this was no exception, and his experience came through as it seems they have seen almost every scenario. Plus it helps that they have a great relationship with other conveyancing attorneys. So I found that when issues came up, they were quickly nipped in the bud, to ensure they didn't blow up into larger problems. It all makes sense as Pat's a great stand up guy and I'm sure others that he's done business with in the past think the same thing, so would not hesitate working with him. I would recommend Pat and his team to anyone looking to buy or sell based on his experience, efficiency and works in a clear practical results oriented way to ensure you get a good result. Best, Will

Our…read moreinitial meeting was a review of where we were in process, our current documents and discussions of what we wanted to accomplish. It was apparent to us at our initial meeting Mr. Tamburro was very knowledgeable, had great listening skills and wanted the best for us and for our desires to be documented. Our living trust and wills and other pertinent documents were documented per our specifications. When we came into the office for final signing, all documentation were laid out for review. Lindsay Chen, Mr. Tamburro's colleague spent time reviewing each document patiently and answered questions for us in a very easy and clear fashion. After edits and final review Mr. Tamburro again reviewed to ensure all our wishes met. They did all of the heavy lifting for us and we would highly recommend them to anyone considering their trust or estate planning. Ann Shields Melrose, Ma

I was in difficult situation…read more I live over 8,000 miles from my home state of Mass, and I needed the advice of a good estate attorney. I didn't know anyone back there that could point me in the right direction. I had no choice but to turn to Yelp to look for what I needed - and honestly, I wasn't sure what I needed or if anyone would actually help me. I picked Ms. Gorenberg because of the great reviews she had. I took a chance and shot her an email and she answered me quickly. Despite the time difference and the complexity of my circumstance, Ms. Gorenberg took the time to speak with me on the phone, answered my questions and gave me some suggestions. I faxed her what paperwork I had and she took the time to review and comment on it. In a matter of 3 days, I had everything I needed to understand and put to rest what had happened. Ms. Gorenberg was knowledgeable, efficient, resourceful and what was most important to me - KIND. I didn't know she did "complementary sessions" as the previous reviewer mentioned. I fully expected to pay for this professional's time and effort. In my opinion, Ms. Gorenberg went way beyond what I would have ever expected from a lawyer that I had no previous relationship to. I was not charged for her time or her skill. It truly blew me away. Understand that a professional person's time is money. I am a licensed professional myself and well know the day to day costs of running a successful business. The fact that here is a person willing to give away time to see if you and her are a good fit - that tells you a lot about her, her business philosophy and her personal integrity. I could not be more happy with what Ms. Gorenberg was willing to do for me. I hope my review in some small way helps her in return - and helps you to decide that this lawyer is right for you!

A friend recommended Robin as an estate attorney who is experienced, easy to work with and…read moreaffordable... and I found it to be true! Turns out Robin is the expert estate attorney for a few area law firms but also takes direct clients... she met with us without delay, things went very smoothly, she gave us sound advise regarding planning and family considerations, and the entire process of working up the typical package of estate documents went smoothly and the cost was very reasonable. Her location was also easy to reach and there was plenty of street parking. Also a T-stop right in front! Before you call anyone else, suggest you contact Robin first... I've referred a few friends to her after our good experience, and everyone without exception was very pleased.

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!
