I had a very unpleasant experience with Att. Stelman. The way he handled my case was absolutely…read moreunprofessional and at times even negligent. I was buying my first residence, cash transaction, and Att. Stelman's title examiner found a possible problem with the title. The advice i got was to "walk away". Needles to say i was very devastated, but after hearing Att. Stelman's explanation i realized that the consequences might be serios if i continue with the purchase. The owner of the property followed up with his insurance company and it turned out the insurance doesn't see any issues witht this property's title. At that point Att. Stelman advised me the opposite - go ahead with the purchase. I hired another attorney to do a second look on the paperwork so i can get more confidence in what is right and what isn't. By the time this got resolved i had to find a temporary place to live (because i've already notified my landlord i'll be moving out), move there for a month, store my belongings in a self storage and then move to the new property. Talk about stress and additional expenses! When we started to get closer to the closing day, he became more and more irresponsive. At that point i decided to purchase title insurance somewhere else and just let Att. Stelman finish the closing process. After the closing, he ignored my emails requesting to send the paperwork to the new attorney. And the paperwork that was available via public records was completed incorrectly. We had to go back to the seller for signature and then record the missing components with the city for additional fee. It took me a month to get a reply out of Mr. Stelman and only after i informed him that i'll be filing a complaint with MA board that oversees the rules of professional conduct for attorneys. I don't know why i got such negligent treatment, if it was because i was single lady or because i was buying cash and there was no bank to oversee what Att. Stelman was doing, but it doesn't matter. I believe one should be getting equaly professional service regardless of circumstances. And it wasn't the case with Att.Stelman. To sum it up, going through legal issues is stressful enough so you don't want to deal with additional stress added by dealing with Att. Stelman. I don't believe i need to chase my attorney down to get my questions answered and i do expect to get dedicated and quality service. What i got was neither.

I think the below review is completely bogus, in fact by a simple click of the mouse and two…read moreminutes of reading you will see for yourself it is obviously inaccurate. The reviewer has three reviews for real estate attorneys and in each review she states "this was my first time buying a home". Impossible... Anyway, to my review. I have worked with Attorney Stelman on numerous transactions as a real estate professional and I have found him to be overly responsive and very accessible in all occasions. Adversely, Attorney Stelman was once on the other side of a poor transaction where I could not get my client to sign a resale and Attorney Stelman worked his tail off to get his client his money back. I think he is a fantastic attorney and when my personal real estate attorney retires, he's going to be my guy. He is awesome!

Absolutely outstanding experience working with MacLean Holloway Doherty & Sheehan, PC, specifically…read morewith attorney Michael Tucker on a recent business matter.

What truly stood out was Michael's proactive approach and ability to deliver clear, actionable advice. His professionalism, coupled with his genuine care for his clients, made a potentially stressful situation far easier to navigate.

My wife and I used Cornetta Babine LLC for our first-time home purchase. Specifically, we worked…read morewith Chris Cornetta as our real estate attorney through the whole process. We have nothing but high praises to describe Chris. Chris is a knowledgeable attorney with integrity, honesty, and patience. My wife and I were neophytes to the home buying process. He was able to explain in layman's terms each step of the buying procedure, what to do to protect our interests, and what each piece of paperwork was for and why it was necessary. In the pre and post home buying process, my wife and I have dealt with numerous companies, both big and small, from owner to staff level. We have noticed too many of these individuals are late/no-shows for appointments, don't return calls on time, write sloppy emails (many don't know how to "reply all" when clearly called for), and generally have poor business practices. Chris was breath of fresh air in this regard, as he was always available, prompt, and professional. The seller's attorney was the opposite of Chris, aloof and not very reliable, yet Chris was still able to work beyond this and get the job done for us in a skilled manner. I highly recommend using Cornetta Babine LLC for your legal needs.

While she listened to our requests and agreements with one another and helped make those things possible, she was also honest about what the judge may or may not like to see.

One thing I was not as prepared for was the costs outside the sessions themselves. Something for future clients to know about is that it will cost not just the sessions but also the coordination via email as well. Despite this though, I would certainly use Susie again.
