Excellent, conscientious, nice and very competent attorney

I hired Arlene for a real estate closing, a commercial building lease, some personal legal work, and also consulted with her for some estate planning advice. She has always been extremely knowledgeable and very patient in explaining the process and answering all of my questions and concerns. She re...sponded quickly in returning my calls and requests for information. I felt she alerted me to any potential pitfalls so they could be avoided and have felt very comfortable using her for my legal needs. She has a great personality and is very easy to work with. I strongly recommend her to others.

Estate Planner...A++

I have refinanced my home 3 times within the past 2+ yrs and Arlene Keating has been the attorney handling these transactions. I was completely satisfied with the efficient, organized, level of professionalism I was provided. In addition, she made herself available for the signing and transferring of... documents at a time and location that worked for me. As a single head of household with a full time job, this simple detail was an important consideration and much appreciated. I'm in my 60s now and recently decided that an updated will was long overdue. I live in NH and since Arlene is licensed in both NH and MA, I contacted her and, again, was impressed with that same level of professionalism. I felt that she spent a considerable amount of time gathering the information she needed to prepare a will tailored to my particular financial situation. I'm confident that her knowledge and thoroughness with this very important document will serve me and my family well.

Comprehensive service, no t left uncrossed!

I recently had Arlene Keating prepare my will and help me to get my financial future on the right path. Through out the whole (extensive! WOW! so many things to line up) process she helped me feel comfortable and asked me questions so that I could really think through what exactly I wanted. She was t...horough, thoughtful and patient. My will protects my child as well as my own future and I feel much more confident now that this is complete. I recommend her work and expertise without hesitation. She is excellent!

Life Saver!

Arlene Keating is so good at what she does. She was able to bring issues to light that I was unaware of which could have easily squashed my dream home. As a self employed single mom she went above and beyond what any attorney has ever done on my behalf. I recommend her to anyone who wants the piec...e of mind that your real estate transaction is secure and extremely well executed. She had my best interests in mind at all times.

Wonderful Real Estate Lawyer!!!

Arlene handled our home purchase and closing promptly and efficiently. She answered all our questions relating to the mortgage and then some. She was pleasant had a great sense of humor and made the whole process as painless as possible. Arlene's rates were also extremely reasonable. I would highly r...ecommend her to others who are considering purchasing property.
