This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Exceptional work on several real estate transactions

I have used Jen for several real estate transactions - both as a buyer and a seller. Some involved unique challenges, such as one occurring at the beginning of the Covid lock-down and one involving a foreign party on the other side. She has always been responsive, professional and thorough. The thi...ng I appreciate most about working with Jen is that I always knew that she was in my corner and that she had my back. I would highly recommend her for any real estate transaction and I will definitely use her again in the future.

Client

I co-owned property and wanted out. Attorney DiCarlo helped me navigate the Land Court’s partition process resulting in a successful sale. She anticipated all of the pitfalls, each one of which we were able to overcome with her preparation and attention to detail. More importantly, she provided he...r services with compassion and professionalism and with a full understanding of how to partition real estate.

Thorough, personable, always thinking ahead!

Jennifer handled the sale of property I owned in the Boston area. As an out of state owner, I was at great ease with the level of care and attention she gave to the entire transaction. She was always thinking ahead and giving helpful counsel at each milestone of the transaction. I highly recommend.
