Gerard M. Marino

Gerard was our attorney for 2 property sales in 2020: a 1031 swap to sell a condo, and then to buy a 3-family house. His property law expertise was immediately apparent in the 1031 sale, where he elected to assist the buyer's attorney to keep the transaction on schedule. Everything went smoothly and ...effortlessly from our perspective as the clients. Our subsequent purchase was complicated by needing a Certificate of Occupancy to bring the 2-fam house to a legal 3-fam; an unlicensed bathroom in the property; sellers who became renters post-sale; and COVID-19 related delays in data handling. Gerard's experience and guidance helped us to resolve these issues with minimal fuss, and in an equitable manner: we remained on friendly terms with the Sellers after the sale. Many thanks to Gerard, lawyer Stephen Fernandes in his practice, and the rest of his staff.

Had a great experience with Attorney Marino and his associate Stephen. In the home buying process, they discovered issues surrounding flooding and a tax lien and firm thanks to the firm's tireless work, these were squared away by the time we closed. They were communicative, transparent, and professio...nal throughout the entire process. This is a firm that will protect your interests.

Gerard helped us navigate a tricky title issue when buying our home, walking us through each step with detailed advice. He went above and beyond, even sending the paperwork and an overnight label to the bank that needed to sign over the title. He got is into our new house as soon as physically poss...ible, and we are very grateful for his help. He was tremendously helpful in explaining the intricacies of the home-buying process, and never batted an eye at answering all of the questions we had as first-time home buyers. We would recommend him to anyone buying a home in the area!
