Andrea Goldman helped us out at a very stressful moment in our dispute with our contractor. I…read morefound her by reading her blog and reached out to her via email. We'd had a really difficult contractor who had been verbally abusive, messy, and didn't finish our renovation in time for us to move into our house....and then abandoned the job. My wife and I had just bought our first home and decided to gut-rehab kitchen & bath, doing a bunch of the work ourselves. We were worried about getting our end done - we should've worried about the contractor who didn't pay subs (who refused to finish work), left big chunks of work until the DAY before we moved in, (on a 10 week project), was unlicensed, verbally abusive and tried to extort extra money from us. In the end, we just wanted him gone, but were worried about legal repercussions of firing him without paying him everything in the contract. Ms Goldman's website helped me learn a lot about the legal aspects I needed to consider, and she even took time to speak to me on the phone, listen to my situation, let me know I probably didn't need to hire a lawyer for the amount of money involved, and even helped come up with a carefully-worded email letting this guy know we were through with him. Ms Goldman is incredibly generous to share her time and knowledge with the general public on her blog. In our case, it made a huge difference. After feeling so out of my depth with a contractor who clearly knew the system and how to manipulate it, I felt like I had someone with real expertise on these conflicts on my side. At the end of the day, without having to pay hundreds of dollars in legal fees or go to court, we simply sent out our "goodbye" email and never heard from the guy again - hooray! Thanks, Andrea, for working with us - I will surely bring all future contracts to your office for review before embarking on something like this again!

My wife and I were on the same page about what a prenup meant for us, and why we were doing it, but we needed independent representation for my wife to move forward. Luckily, Pam was recommended to us and did an amazing job representing my wife so that we could move forward with the process. She was kind, informative, and helped to make sure we understood the prenup process, what it covered, and what it didn't in the state of MA. Pam was clearly well informed, incredibly helpful, and brought a human element that can be lacking in these kinds of situations. In the end, Pam was invaluable in terms of making my wife and I feel at ease both for the rigor of legal council she provided and the attitude she brought to her work. Thank you, Pam!

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
