My sister and I were positioned to…read moreinherit a house from our father but needed a Trust to manage the taxes, family disagreements and knock down the capital gains tax that was coming. Dad was about to put our names on the deed and Attorney McManus and his team quickly had a far better solution. He put in place a specialized Trust, and solved a bunch of family issues and potential problems along the way! He includes support documents with their Trusts and each trust is custom made. The process was easy and happened in only about a month. I recommend McManus' office and my sister is now in the process of making a Trust for her family too.

Attorney McManus knew exactly what to recommend and put the papers in place. Now I feel safe and my kids need to meet with him so they see how much aggravation we're saving them! One of the most helpful recommendations that he made was to have a family meeting with my go-to people that will be making decisions for me if I get sick or pass away, or if my husband does. The meeting would be free and done to get them used to the terms of my plan.

If I could give ZERO stars, I would…read more First of all, this address is wrong- they DO NOT have an office in Boston. Secondly, DO NOT TRUST THEM. I truly have no words for the service we got (but also I won't shut up about it bc if I can save someone else the hassle, I will). We hired a CPA this year bc of some issues with our state tax withholding due to moving across states. 1) From the get go, I felt funny about them because I knew there were certain info that would be needed (but they didn't take it even when I offered). Due to a HR mishap with my job, my state taxes were taken from NY (and not from MA). They never asked for more specific info (pay stubs for example) to rectify the taxes. I repeatedly asked the person assigned to us to reiterate the issue to us so that we knew she understood what needed to be fixed, and she couldn't. But they have such good reviews, so I should trust the right?! 2) Due to the move, my husband had two W-2's- one from NY and one from MA. We accidentally forgot to upload the NY W-2 (that's on us). BUT instead of asking for it, they counted the MA W-2 for NY as well. The outcome was that we now owe thousands in taxes due to the income being counted twice! 3) AND FOR THE CHERRY ON TOP- THEY FILED WITHOUT OUR CONSENT. The wrong version, where we owe thousands. And then didn't tell us. We only found out bc we got a letter from the IRS. And then they took their sweet time responding to us about amending, not that we trust them to even do the amendment correctly. And when we requested a refund, they refused and instead offered money off our next service- AS IF. We had to file fraud via our credit card and point out that what they did was ILLEGAL to get our money back.

After working on our case for a couple of weeks, he met us at the office on Saturday morning for final signatures. I have always done my own taxes and thought I was pretty good at it, but now I know better. I would have paid lots more than necessary and never would have thought of "little things" like filing state taxes individually vice jointly. In future, I'll go to PITC and let the experts handle it. It more than paid for itself, and it's nice to let Joe do the heavy lifting. Very friendly service. Also well-connected with businesses in Plymouth in case you need a recommendation

The level of service I received for tax preparation and filing was poor due to lack of…read morecommunication. On rare occasion I would ask my preparer Bruce simple yes or no questions via email. For example I asked for confirmation that my taxes were filed because the deadline passed without a heads up. Then, I asked before the estimated tax payment quarterly deadlines if he would send my vouchers and instructions as promised. My emails went unanswered so I'd call and leave a vm or message with staff. Weeks would go by without any reply. I would email and call over and over with same results. I finally got a copy of my tax return in the mail and noticed a mistake. By way of a miracle I was able to get Bruce on the phone. After he agreed there was a mistake, there was no sense of urgency to file the 2 amendments and correct my taxes. I also never saw the estimated tax vouchers and instructions before the June 15 or Sept 15 deadlines. Meanwhile, I'm racking up late fees with the IRS and Dept. of Rev. It's been 8 months and to this day my 2015 state return is not amended and 2016 vouchers never received. No apology, explanation or refund.

I cannot state this strongly enough, Eric Rothenberg is exactly who you want to hire. Eric has laser focus and a reassuring confidence in his knowledge of the law. We were under contract on our dream vacation house. The sellers were trying to back out very close to closing. I reached out to Eric for help and he answered my email immediately. He told me not to worry and he could handle everything. I believe his exact words were, 'they haven't got a prayer.' Our situation was complicated and there were many other lawyers involved, but Eric was always the one who knew the law and wasn't afraid to go toe-to-toe with anyone who tried to put up road blocks. And he did it quickly. I think the speed of his work really kept our cost down and for that I'm truly grateful. I can honestly say we wouldn't be home owners if Eric hadn't been there for us. Also, he is always answers a call or an email immediately, day or night. His communication is amazing. We are so lucky we hired him.

My problems with a terrible landlord had remained unresolved for nearly 3 years until I finally…read moredecided to look for professional help, and I had a great head start in my search for the right lawyer through the word of mouth since multiple people I knew and trust had nothing but positive things to say about Mr. Ayr. It turns out, not only I found the right lawyer: I found the perfect lawyer! You might be asking: "Why do you say that?".. Because not only he is extremely effective, time efficient and organized - which will save you a ton of money - but also is very down to earth, realistic and has something else I've never seen in any lawyer: the cool factor. When I say cool, I mean the invaluable ability to remain calm, centered, so balanced in every situation that it's almost Zen. Remember all the bad things we all grew up listening about lawyers? You will soon realize that Mr. Ayr is the perfect antagonist of all that, and I'm not just saying that, I will elaborate and give you my personal experience as an example: My landlord years of serious violations and illegal acts were so bad that, if we decided to bring the full case to court, he could easily go bankrupt and the house would go up to foreclosure, and bear in mind, I had the Boston Housing Court and Boston Housing Inspection Services with me in this case. Needless to say, had we gone ahead and sue it, serious compensation would come my way and my lawyers. Yet, when I decided to "let go" and give the landlord a chance to settle for the security deposit legally owned to me plus my financial damages along the way , Mr. Ayr fully supported me and quickly started and finished all the documentation and negotiations with the landlord, who completely changed from the very aggressive tone to a fast paced resolution. I was in awe. I would give Mr Ayr a 6 star review if it was possible.

Craig represented my partner and I during the sale of our first home this summer. We decided to…read moresell the house by owner and we were anxious to perform such a large transaction without the help of a realtor. When we met with Craig we already had a buyer lined up and wanted to discuss our current situation. We also had a list of questions regarding what we needed to do next and what the process looked like as a whole. Craig was a great listener and was able to clearly explain everything that needed to be done. He was excellent at describing the next immediate step in context of the larger picture and it was clear that he was knowledgeable about the process. He was easy going and was in no way intimidating or belittling. Following our first meeting we decided that we wanted Craig to represent us. When working with anyone our biggest fear is that they will not be available when you need them. During the entire process Craig was available to answer questions and to get things done. His response time via email or phone/text was almost immediate. At no time did we feel like we could not reach him. Often, Craig would check in with us to make sure we understood what we needed to get done and to remind us of the next step. Most importantly we felt as if Craig made our best interest his largest priority. He was key in negotiations with the buyers by offering advice on how to proceed. He was exceptional at putting often emotional decisions into perspective. When reviewing legal documents he was very thorough; he reviewed them with us section by section, and worked to change any wording that was not in our best interest. He worked closely with the sellers attorney when drafting and editing documents. Never did we feel uncomfortable when he contacted the sellers/attorney on our behalf. The process of selling a home (especially your first) is nerve wracking, and we were by no means confident that we could do it without the help of a realtor. However, after we decided to work with Craig, that anxiety resolved. His hard work ethic, accountability, responsiveness, and knowledge about the process allowed us to feel much better about the transaction regardless of the outcome. We could not recommend Craig more highly and thank him for all of the help and guidance that he was able to provide. Six stars.
