Excellent communication, fast & efficient processing of eviction

We have used AVVO for a number of legal matters and again, researched when a tenant eviction issue arose. Jay handled the entire process in an efficient, quick and expert manner. We were updated all steps of the way and had complete confidence in his handling the issue. Will definitely use again!

Bullies exist but not on Jay's watch

My children and I experienced 12 months of harassment my landlord and were stuck in a lease. The landlord not only invaded our privacy but robbed us of months of enjoying peace and quiet in our home. We were on pins and needles all the time. My children were scared and I felt powerless and alone,... until I hired Jay Zaheer. Jay knows the law and reminded me tenants have rights, too and bullies can be stopped! He was responsive and completely invested in my case. He took the time to listen, read every email I sent to him, and guide me through my situation. He remembered more than my name; he remembers important dates, like final walk-throughs, and was there for us. When Jay says, he "has your back," he means it and those three words led to my first good night's sleep in almost 12 months. I no longer felt my children and I were held hostage by terms of a lease that were clearly broken by the landlord. Don't be a victim, know your rights. I strongly recommend Jay's services. I wish I had found him sooner and so will you!

CEO of WeCare 365 - Adult Foster Care Services

Attorney Jay Zaheer has served our organization for the past 2 years with our Business Law needs and our company has been in business since 2015. In the past, working with Attorneys from larger firms has been a challenge. They have failed us and have not given us the time or attention needed in order... to provide us adequate legal representation and/or consult. With Attorney Jay Zaheer, you can feel at ease. He is always readily accessible either by phone or email. He is extremely professional and knowledgeable in the Business Law area. Attorney Zaheer help members of LLC better understand the terms of their existing OA agreement that was executed by another Attorney . Members received clarification on each section and line items, and Attorney Zaheer made sure the OA was within current Business Law standards and meet our expectations. Foremost, we could trust Attorney Zaheer always had our best interest at heart and that he truly cared about the members of the LLC and the future success of the organization. You will feel well represented with Attorney Zaheer and your just not a number or way to make money, he truly cares and wants what is best for his clients. If you need a honest and hardworking Attorney, hire Jay Zaheer at Law.

Superb Real Estate and Housing Court Attorney!

Attorney Jay Zaheer has represented us on over 40 landlord tenant cases with a phenomenal success rate. Jay has a remarkable depth of knowledge of Landlord/Tenant Law in Massachusetts. He exhibits patience in understanding the issues. He is super efficient and effective, and Capable of independen...tly running with the case. This last part is critical for us. Working a full time job, while owning multiple rental property units can be tough. We needed someone who could completely drive negotiations and deal with any challenges that arise independently in our favor. While running with the case, Jay does stay in constant communication with us via emails and texts to ensure the best possible outcome that we are comfortable with. I couldn't be more pleased and trust him completely! They say to be successful in real estate, you need a good real estate agent, an accountant and an attorney as part of your team. Attorney Jay Zaheer has on numerous occasions proven his contributions to be invaluable to our success. I highly and wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone seeking legal counsel. It would be a mistake to go at it without him!

"Jahangir Zaheer is an excellent attorney who I highly recommend for landlord and tenant work. He not only is very well versed in the law but he also understands the practical aspects involved with court and can guide his clients to the best outcome considering all of the factors. I personally have seen Attorney Zaheer at the court on several occasions and have always been impressed with his professionalism and skill. Recently I know of a case in which he handled a very serious housing emergency. Attorney Zaheer was able to take charge of case from the start and achieved an excellent outcome. I have referred clients to Attorney Zaheer in the past and I would not hesitate to do so again."

  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
