We selected David as our real estate lawyer to purchase our first home…read more He was very responsive from the first phone call (responding within minutes) and replied to texts and questions very quickly. He was always on-top of everything and was especially helpful in working with a mortgage lender (big bank) that was often delayed in obtaining documents. David helped us stay on track despite the mortgage delays, negotiating to extend contingencies and close the purchase on time. He was very upfront with fees and available protections, and was overall a great person to work with on this important financial transaction. At the closing, he brought a good sense of humor. Overall, I highly recommend David to represent you (and your bank) for your next real estate purchase.

I closed on a condo in Somerville in just 14 days from the accepted offer to keys in hand. David…read morewas responsive at every step -- emails and questions answered the same day, often within the hour. What stood out most was how he protected my interests. 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.

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!

There were a few items I was willing to credit, but I needed a straight answer on what was reasonable. I emailed and left a voicemail. Heard nothing for four days. By then their agent was saying they might walk. We ended up giving more than I wanted just to hold the date. The attorney later said they'd been in court. That's fine, but nobody was watching the file. I felt like I was the one managing the deal. I wouldn't use them again.

I suffered injuries and was out of work for some time following a car accident in 2023. Leslie was…read morerecommended to me as a personal injury lawyer and I met with her for a consultation. I went into this actually not wanting to pursue this further because I just didn't think I had it in me to follow through. Working a hgh demand full time job with a long commute, having 2 small children in a multitude of activities, and trying to keep up with all of my PT, CT, and other appointments following the accident made me feel like I was barely keeping afloat. I couldn't concentrate for a period of time and my bandwidth to get things done was very minimal. Leslie made it extremely stress free for me to gather all the information needed and kept everything relatively simple. Most importantly, she helped me stay on track to recover as much as I could. She kept me consistently updated on progress and what was needed from me. She never made me feel guilty about forgetting items or to respond to her, which was common on my end. Overall, I am very thankful for her and her staff and how much they advocated and fought for me.

Before ultimately deciding to have Karen and Leslie to handle my case, I called a number of offices, and recognized that I was likely to be handed off to some paralegal at many of them. From the start, Karen and Leslie handled my case directly, and their professionalism and expertise instilled confidence, rightfully placed. They are great communicators and will be upfront about your case rather than making empty promises. They handled my case with care, provided me with regular updates, and achieved an outcome better than I was expecting.

Jan Albrecht is an excellent immigration layer who helped my wife and I get our green cards…read more He is very professional and always gave us clear guidance on how and when to prepare immigration documents. He is excellent at answering any questions we have along the process. We're also impressed by how he's actively tracking immigration schedule (like visa bulletin) and kept reminding us what to do in different phases. We're also very lucky to have him with us during our green card interview. Everything went so smoothly! What impressed us more was : after the interview our priority date was not current yet, so our case had been sent back to one of immigration office and we had to wait for our priority date to be current before our case could be processed. As far as I know, usually it will take at least several weeks for our case to be processed again after our priority date is current. But Jan sent out a letter to immigration officer and right after our priority date went current and we received our case get processed and approved within a week! We truly appreciate his proficiency！ I will not hesitate to recommend him to anyone who needs an immigration layer!

Jason is diligent, straight-forward, and very resourceful. One of my transactions involved some unique circumstances, and Jason was able to uncover some important factors that all other attorneys involved missed, and would have been costly to me in the future if he had not discovered it. I'm also impressed by the amount of research that Jason does on his cases, the organization of all documents, and the follow-up long afterward. He called me long after to give me updates on my real estate deal, and a few good tips. Overall, I've worked with other attorneys in the past, but none that have put as much attention to quality work and customer service as Jason.
