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!

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.

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.

Thank you Stephanie for your help with my real-estate issues.

I rarely write 1-star reviews but strongly feel this is necessary…read more My husband and I met with Jennifer Deland to discuss estate planning, and the meeting it was extremely unproductive and frustrating. Jennifer requires a $400 non-refundable fee for a consultation fee unless you sign on with her within 30 days - this was our first mistake, but a good (costly) learning for us. First, we sat in a tiny, dingy room that barely fit three as she struggled to find usable space on a whiteboard that was stained with marker. Realizing she couldn't erase the board, she opted to use someone else's faded hen-scratches to "guide" our discussion. She jumped from topic to topic erratically, and our specific questions seemed to throw her off. She repeatedly referenced what other clients have done rather than provide guidance on what would best suit our needs, which is why we were there! We came prepared with a 1-page Asset Summary that she barely read through and asked where our "receipts" were. Why she needed proof of our assets is beyond me - this was supposed to be a consultation. She did, however, pull public records of our home in advance of the meeting. As it became apparent that she wanted us to "pick" an approach and sign on with her, we pushed back, citing that we were in no way prepared to select an approach given our minimal understanding of our options. She then leaned into us and rudely blurted out, "Well, what is your objective?" Stunned, we responded, "to create a plan". The conversation was maddening. After a few unsuccessful attempts to convince us to sign on with her, she said, "OK, let me make one last-ditch effort" (were we buying a used car?) She began typing frantically on her laptop, explaining that she needed to make thorough notes about our meeting and said we'd be receiving a letter with "curt language" in the mail, but we could still change our minds within 30 days. To wrap up, she asked if we had a "little check for her". Sorry, $400 is hardly little. We paid her, took our asset inventory and left.

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.

I found him via a friend's recommendation after putting out a desperate plea for help online. He just started his own practice and focuses on several areas, including real estate (whenever I buy my first condo or house, I would love to work with Matt again), but has experience with tenant/landlord disputes - he knows his stuff! Matt is very friendly and immediately put me at ease with my situation during our first conversation. He answered all my questions with Buddha-like patience, laid out all the options I had, and made me feel he was looking out for my best interests by giving me his honest opinion on everything and telling me what his rates would be up front - which, by the way, were very fair. He is also lightning fast with his responses any time I had a question! Things are going much smoother with my landlord now, and I am forever grateful for all the help and attention Matt gave my situation. Hire him!
