Landlord and Tenant Law
Evictions: Don't go through the eviction process alone. Start the process with a professional and save yourself months of unrecoverable rents. We charge an affordable,flat fee to properly terminate the tenancy and a reasonable hourly fee should court action be necessary.
Leases: Get started on the right foot with paperwork that will protect your investment and establish the terms in clear, concise language. Residential leases can be tailored to fit your property and used over and over again providing you with exceptional value. Commercial leases are also available and can be customized to fit the needs of your business.
Misc.: We regularly handle matters involving nonpayment of rent, security deposit disputes, last month's rent disputes, and terminations of tenancy due to illegal activities.
Residential Real Estate Transactions Throughout Massachusetts*
Buyers: Not having representation to handle the biggest purchase of your life could end up being your biggest mistake. Don't risk your deposit by signingthe standard form contract provided by your realtor. Let us handle your transactionfrom drafting the offer to attending the closing. We charge buyers a flat fee for representation.
Sellers:Allow us to negotiate the purchase and sale agreement, resolve title issues, draft the deed, and attend the closing. Depending on your real estate broker to generate the purchase and sale agreement is not only a bad idea, but it could leave you vulnerable down the road. Sell your property without the worries of poor representation.
Lenders: We routinely represent lenders, large and small, in real estate closings.
Land Use and Zoning
Real Estate Litigation: We represent parties in litigation involving real estate in the District and Superior courts. Initial,one-hour consultations are alwaysfree of charge.
Zoning Opinions: Let our office prepare a zoning opinion for you before you purchase your next property. In many cases, if you do not have the proper zoning relief, you may not be able to use the property in the manner you intend to.
Wills and TrustsEnsure that your property passes to who you want it to rather than where the state says it should. You worked hard to build your estate. Don't let it get it squandered through the probate process, estate taxes and costly attorney's fees. A comprehensive estate plan can protect your loved ones by sheltering your assets from estate taxes and give you peace of mind.
Family Law - Divorce, Child Custody and ModificationsOur goal is to facilitate your divorce so that it is as quick and painless as possible, but with an eye on protecting assets and your bottom line. We will work with the parties to develop a stratgey that works for everyone involved. And, if something needs to be changed later on, we can seek a modification for you.

Here's what some of our recent clients had to say:
"Thank you very much for your help resolving the real estate matters I've been involved with the past few months. During this time I have found you to be very clear and concise in all of your communications with me and spot-on in your legal recommendations, advice and representation within the courts. In my dealings with Professional Services firms and the individuals that comprise those firms, I place the highest value on clarity of communication. Depite the fact that I have no legal background, I was fully able to understand everything you told me. I also want to say that the value you provided me, given the scope of the services that I required and you delivered is exceptionally good. Thank you." Anthony of Wakefield

"We were extremely excited when we made an offer on our first home this winter; immediately afterward, however, reality set in when the pressure of deadlinesand the need to understand the complex wording within the offer to purchase and the subsequent contract and sales agreement quickly made us realize the need to hire a lawyerwith expertise in realty law. After searching the internet and viewing past experiences of other home buyers in need, we found and chose to have Jennifer DiCarlo represent our real estate purchase. She is very knowledgeable and at all times made it evident that she was working hard toprotect our interests in the purchase through constant communication, personal trips to our home to have documents signed, and by spending many long nights on the phone with the seller and bank's attorney to ensure that our home purchase went as planned. We are now enjoying life in our first home,and we have Jennfer tothank 100%." Joshua of East Boston

"We were very pleased with the response time, professionalism, the accuracy of the information and all the great advice from Jennifer. She gave us so much information that we'll be able to use in the future if needed. I would recommend her services to anyone whether you're planning on buying a house and need financial guidanceor forany other issues." Daphney of Waltham
