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.

Kathryn wrapped up the estate plan for me with attention to every detail. I left the office feeling confident of having done the right and responsible things, in terms of my estate planning. I would definitely recommend this firm.

Initially, I chose Loren to handle my estate planning based strictly on her location. She appeared…read moreon a list of lawyers available through my workplace as a benefit and since I didn't know anyone on the list, I just chose the closest lawyer and had no expectations. What a pleasant surprise to discover that she was not only the most convenient but the best imaginable choice. I am very unfamiliar with legal and business matters and ordinarily would find the process daunting but Loren was so patient, affable and clear (without being condescending) that what could have been frustrating and traumatic was straightforward and simple. Although Loren was being paid by a third-party company, she was generous with her time and thoughtful with her recommendations. For example, while I came to her for a will, after carefully reviewing my situation, she recommended a trust, a far more appropriate option. Looking over her work and correspondence, a discerning family member who does have expertise in business and legal matters said, "Whoever referred this lawyer did you a favor. She is GOOD." He was RIGHT.

As first time home buyers, we certainly had trepidation about the process, but they took care of 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
