When I bought my house in 2015, my realtor recommended Cynthia Sherman, from Kajko, Weisman &…read moreColasanti. She was absolutely fantastic, walking me through all of the complexities of the purchase. I have used her three times since then for real estate transactions, and she has never left me feeling confused or looked down on. She held my hands through panic (most memorably, the bats we found in my home a week before close and were told we could not legally evict for months!). Cynthia and her support team at the firm have always felt completely in my corner, responsive to my needs and questions, and respectful of me as a client. I would absolutely use them again.

We hired Keira Gibson to represent us in a probate-related real estate purchase. While she is…read moreclearly knowledgeable about real estate law, our experience was frustrating. Communication was reactive rather than proactive, and much of the time we had to chase updates or check the probate court docket ourselves. As first-time buyers, we needed more guidance and reassurance than we received. We also had issues with her paralegal, Stacey, who sent us an extremely rude and dismissive email that turned out to be wrong. This contributed to more preventable delays and costs, and Keira never addressed it with us. Keira's tone was often blunt, dismissive, and at times rude. For example, when my husband (who is an attorney but not a real estate attorney) asked her for her professional estimate based on her experience, she responded: "You're an attorney, you know that the court is unpredictable." That kind of remark was passive-aggressive and unhelpful, and it set the tone for much of our relationship with her. We also repeatedly asked her to communicate with us more proactively, but nothing ever changed. At closing, she asked us to sign two optional items we had opted out of earlier in the process. She said she needed to "check" to make sure we weren't being charged for them in the closing costs. I had already confirmed we weren't, and this is something her office should have caught when reviewing the final numbers. Instead, it created more unnecessary confusion at the table. Keira's style of communication made an already stressful process much harder than it needed to be. Edit: I have gone back and updated my review. After posting this review, the managing partner, Peter Kajko, personally reached out to us. He was kind, heartfelt, and genuinely listened to our concerns. He acknowledged our frustrations, explained the firm's perspective, and took the time to make sure we felt heard. While our experience with Keira was disappointing, we truly appreciated Peter's professionalism and sincerity in addressing the situation

Peter is very charming and professional before you hire him. He goes out of his way to call and…read morereach out to check in. You will feel assured and that you are in really great hands. Once you sign, you can kiss your money goodbye and his charming/helpful side. He is extremely slow in getting anything accomplished and it is very clear this is his method to bill you for more hours. He was very aware of my financial situation as single Mother and pretended to be sympathetic. Because of financial constraints and also the feeling that nothing was being accomplished I requested his withdrawal and the return of my remaining retainer. From this point on, he ignored multiple emails and text messages and refused to return my remaining monies. In an effort to simplify the process and save everyone time and money the Defendants Attorney (I am the Plantiff) suggested all parties sign an Assented Motion for Withdrawal and we could all proceed without wasting money and time in court. Peter continued to ignore emails from me and the Defendants Attorney requesting his signature on said documents. Instead, in his very calculated and greedy mode of operation, he chose to attend court so that he could continue using my remaining retainer while knowing full well the dire financial situation I was in. Please please do not hire this Attorney. You will regret your decision. I am so upset with myself that I didn't take the negative reviews written more seriously. As a single Mother working full time, I am already dealing with a lot of stress so to have the stress of this and feeling completely betrayed and taken advantage of is heartbreaking.

Anne and Maya are simply amazing…read more I was unfairly terminated after two years as the community manager of a 55-and-over property, even after successfully facilitating the long-desired sale of the community. I was also denied the bonus I had been promised once the sale was completed. Before the sale, I had been overworked due to budget restrictions and forced to take on multiple roles to keep day-to-day operations running. I believed I had a case, but after contacting multiple attorneys, I kept hearing the same thing: "We think you might have a case, but we don't have the resources to assist you." I was close to giving up--until I decided to try one last time and reached out to Shapiro Law. In our very first conversation, we discussed my situation, and by the end of the call, Anne confirmed I had a case on multiple counts--and she immediately went to work. Throughout the process, Anne and Maya kept me informed, showed patience, demonstrated deep expertise, and treated me with compassion and respect. They made me feel valued and assured me that I mattered. They fought for me and won back what I had earned and was wrongly denied. I'm so grateful I reached out to them. I highly recommend Anne and Maya to anyone seeking attorneys who truly care about people--not just the size of the settlement. They are true advocates for their clients. Thank you for everything, Scott

His process is detailed but very transparent and he graciously takes all of the time needed to answer not only your own questions but areas needed to be considered. I did my own research before my wife and I met him. He leaves you feeling confident you made the correct decision. The legal fees were significantly budget friendly, the professionalism Attorney Karr and his staff were spectacular and he is EXTREMELY accommodating to meet us. I loved his onboarding process for new clients, his documentation he provides in his packet for you to fill out is very easy and a "what to expect" video of him prior to meeting him shows he is looking out for you! I would not select anyone else! My wife and I are happy to have Attorney Karr as our lawyer.

Wrong, wrong, wrong, you just help them to pay some office expenses. Don't contact this firm unless you make 100K+ income. Instead of getting an answer-ended conversion, the 30 mins consultation is just a question-ended conversion. This is absolutely a legal rogues, they will take any case at any stage for high retainer fee, they know they could probably get 10% chance to overturn the current court ruling, but you can do this yourself for 5% chance. They spend at least 10 mins to question you for the answers you already filled in the intake form. They don't answer the questions you ask by saying excess time to research, research what? You claim you have 20+ years experience. Clown. The legal assistant is a piece of S, I repeatedly ask him I will send you 2 pieces ps documents, will the attorney read it before the scheduled meeting, and only answer my 4 questions during the meeting?This piece of S confirms the attorney will read them but they don't, so I paid $175 for a happy hello conversation. Safe yourself a good weekend dinner with family. I contacted one family firm, the attorney himself took the call with me , I spent 5 mins to brief my case status to him, he instantly instructed me safe yourself some money son, go talk to a unbundled and limited representation on the desk. I also contacted another family firm, the attorney himself call me in person for 10 mins conversation exactly the same with this Wright family law group, for FREE!! The attorney himself also agreed to pull a key document to read through first then will call me back the type of representation he can do for me for my best interest within next week! What a moral firm! THE NAME OF THIS ATTORNEY IS LAURENCE von BARTA IN MIDDLETON, MA! Find him if you need family law help with reasonable charge!!! I also had a meeting with another attorney from another case, the attorney charges $400/hr consultation in person. During the meeting, he instructed me every correct form or court ready tone motion I should use, give all type of notions for my choice to decide! Telling me the correct agencies to contact, which move is for my best interest! He also gave me the form that I should use for every that he knows, he is federal law specialist but even giving me the state court opinion. This is what a moral firm does! Don't dam contact this Wright Family Law Group unless you can prepare $20K+ for a simple case or $50K+ for a complicated case. Shame Firm! You steal $175 from me, I'm giving you back this 1 star.

You know the type: polished shoes, $900 suit, probably charges $300 just to breathe in your direction. Well, all that pedigree and billable-hour swagger didn't stop Ellen from mopping the courtroom floor with them. Watching that high powered attorney get dismantled by Ellen was like watching someone show up to a sword fight with a Nerf bat. Every smug objection? Smacked down. Every "prestigious " argument? Swiss cheese by the end of it. The guy looked less like a legal shark and more like a goldfish flopping around by the time Ellen was done. Meanwhile, my ex - who probably thought hiring " Boston's Best" meant automatic victory- had to sit there watching their dream team go down in flames. It was chef's kiss justice. If you want a lawyer who can crush not only your toxic ex but also their legal overpriced "muscle" , Ellen is the one. She doesn't just win cases- she embarrasses the competition so thoroughly, you almost feel bad for them. (Almost.)
