Contacted their office regarding an issue I needed assistance with regarding a notice to quit that my mother received from her landlord. Received an email response back from an attorney at the firm asking the name of her landlord to make sure there was no conflict. I sent their name and never heard back from them. I would have hoped that I would have received a response either way. If this is their way of doing business, looks like dodged a bullet. read more

Dumb rude and inadequate. Tried to bully me as a single mom of three without ever asking me a single question within 5 minutes of our very first discussion. Poor manners, hung up on me, belittled and threatened me. If he is on your potential list I hope this steers you clear!! read more

He helped with a tenant dispute. Not a positive outcome yet due to tenants typically favored in Massachusetts but Chris led us in the right direction. Very knowledgeable and had ideas about alternatives we will try. read more

I had the pleasure of working with Christopher Saccardi, partnered be the fabulous Edward Rice - on one of the longest running housing court trial cases - five years. They were up against one of the wealthiest property developers in Massachusetts in a case that the other side were convinced they had won from the first court appearance. Chris and Ed worked tirelessly for me for five years and by the time it came to trial they were beyond well prepared. Despite constant threats and intimidation, court outbursts and lots of shenanigans by the other side - both in and out of court- Chris and Ed remained steadfast, focused and totally on point. They outran, outplayed and outscored the opposing team on every count and by the time the jury came back we had won every count. In a David and Goliath match up - Chris and Ed were not only the better player on the day - but for the duration of the entire five years. I cannot express my gratitude strongly enough - not only for their outstanding performance, but for their super friendly and caring attitudes, their genuine respect and concern for their clients and their commitment to serve - by not being $$$ focused but to help those in the community who need real help. If you are looking for the very best of Boston lawyers then look no further than these two gentleman - they are The A team in Boston. read more

My husband and I needed help with a tenant eviction. I found Chris Saccardi through my Yelp search, and we contacted him. While he was unable to take our case due to travel restrictions, he genuinely wanted to help us out, and he spent time with us on the phone. He gave us some thoughts and helpful suggestions, and more importantly, he gave us a fantastic referral of an associate who has taken our case. In a day and age where the simple act of helping a stranger is a lost art, Chris showed compassion, integrity, and kindness. I encourage anyone to ring this young man for assistance. He is the type of guy who gives lawyers A GOOD NAME. read more

My wife and I used Chris Saccardi in a recent Landlord/Tenant dispute and it turned out to be the best decision we could have made. He was terrific. He knows real estate law and specializes in landlord/tenant issues, especially Boston and Middlesex. It doesn't matter whether you are the tenant or the landlord, you don't want to go in there on your own, trust me. Chris is very easy to work with, everybody at court knows him and likes him, he knows how to negotiate through the local legal process, and his rates are affordable. In the end, Chris got us just about everything we wanted, he managed to get it done in record time, and he probably saved us a fortune in time, rent, and wasted legal fees.

Chris is a fantastic attorney who specializes in landlord/tenant situations. I hired him in January 2018 for an eviction, and my only regret was that I did not hire him sooner! Not only is Chris knowledgeable of MA landlord/tenant laws, but he is professional, personable and great to work with. Before I hired Chris, I tried to walk through the legal process on my own, only to have my case thrown out due to a minor technicality. Chris took an extremely stressful situation and turned it into a successful one! I am extremely grateful for his service! read more

My elderly mother and I recently had to deal with a tricky eviction case. It was recommended we use the Law Offices of Christopher Saccardi of Somerville, MA, and I am glad we did. Chris was very knowledgeable, provided extensive guidance, and was extremely prompt in responding to all of our questions. Chris prevented us from making costly, stupid mistakes. Chris represented us in court and was able to work out an amicable settlement that resolved itself even earlier than expected. Thanks to Chris, we are able to sell the property while the housing market is still booming. I'm not one to give praise unless absolutely warranted, but I would highly recommend Chris to any local landlords or tenants that need assistance with eviction and other housing legal matters.

I highly recommend Chris Saccardi's services in landlord-tenant legal matters. We had tenants in our rental property in MA who made endless demands for repairs, got the housing inspector to issue a citation, and refused to pay the remaining rent on the lease (8 months). We were out-of-state landlords which made things more difficult. After going through two other attorneys, we hired Chris to handle our case. We decided to evict these tenants. At every step of the legal proceedings, Chris: - patiently and clearly explained the options in front of us, with pros and cons - described what he thought the other side could do in response to our actions, and things usually turned out the way he anticipated - dealt with the other side's attorney skillfully and gracefully - accommodated our schedules, responded promptly to our queries and gave us sound and wise legal advice - had an eye out for costs. We felt he always had our best interests at heart - was never patronizing or pushy Most importantly, Chris helped get the tenants out of our property before the end of the lease without the need for a trial. read more

My husband and I decided to consult with a lawyer to help settle a problem with our landlord. We've never utilized a lawyer before...hands down it was the right thing to do. We moved out of state, but he was still willing to help us. He put our minds at ease and gave us confidence that we shouldn't and couldn't be treated as we were. In a couple of weeks it was all taken care of. He was knowledgeable, professional, and accessible. We truly appreciated his help :) 100% recommend him read more

I've emailed Chris hundreds of times over the past year and a half. We've met in person on a number of occasions. I can't count all of our phone calls. He invested more hours into my case than he probably wants to count. The outcome of all of Chris's work? A completely terrific settlement that recovered what my family lost after being treated very badly by other people in the Boston real estate world. It took a long time because we were negotiating with people who thought we'd lose interest or give up while they dragged the case out. Once we finally made moves to file suit, they realized we were serious, and the case was settled rather quickly. We made the mistake of thinking there was some measure of good faith in their negotiations. Lesson learned. Chris, however, was always completely honest. He told me the truth about the ways things could go badly. He anticipated problems ahead of time. He thought through the details and understood what was needed. At every stage, I had confidence that Chris was working tirelessly to get a great outcome for me and my family. If I ever have another problem in the Boston real estate market, Chris would be the first person I would call. I wouldn't hesitate for a second. I wouldn't even possibly consider calling someone else. If I have ever have a friend who needs a good lawyer in Boston, Chris will be the attorney I insist they use. Give Chris a try - if your experience is like mine, you will be very impressed. After a year and a half of working with him, I am pleased to strongly endorse him as an excellent lawyer with great integrity. read more

Attorney Saccardi has represented me in several tenant and contract matters. Very efficient and a pleasure to work with.

In trying to deal with a nuanced and complicated tenant and sub-tenant issue in Boston, Mr. Saccardi was a great help. After a "discovery" call, we conducted the rest of our interactions by email. He was clear about our options (even if we didn't like them) as well as the risk we took if we didn't consider them (he presented these in a professional and non-judgmental way). In the end, we took his well-informed and well-reasoned advice. He was prompt, professional, and a great help. read more

My family and I recently used Mr. Saccardi's services after a referral from the Boston Bar Association. We found him to be a true professional who does excellent and thoughtful work for his client, while being personable and reasonable at every turn. It is not every day that you both respect and like your attorney, but Chris put us at ease and guided us through a process that could have been daunting without his savvy, care and responsiveness. What he didn't know at the tip of his tongue, he investigated - and got back to us in a timely manner.
