Very poor attitude and unprofessional

Very unprofessional and a terrible attitude. What a complete waste of money! Save yourself the headache that will most likely come from this attorney

Posted by jane | February 11, 2021 | Hired Attorney | Real Estate

Unrealistic, Questionable Advice

This review is not based on sour grapes or lack of getting what I wanted. So, that being said, this review is based purely on the advise that I received and how this firm failed to do their job. The only tangible thing that I received from my dealings with them was an invoice totally more than $6000.... I was told that I had a case in a condo matter. I was told that I should continue the case regardless of the fact that I was selling it. It put the sale at risk, and they said it was all on the closing attorney to fix and not them. The only explanation is that they are completely inept and do not know the laws regarding real estate, they didn't wish to follow through or they were leading me on just to rack up the hours. I did speak with another attorney after this and they said that I was given bad advise and that it was, in fact up to Peter and his team to deal with the lender to savage the sale. However, the other attorney also told me that he never would have told me to continue pursuing the case once I put the condo up for sale. I would not under any circumstances recommend Peter or his firm.

Sound assistance with reverse mortgage

Peter helped plan out the process in setting up a reverse mortgage for my parents. He drew up the necessary paperwork and assisted with third party negotiations along the way. He was always up front and transparent about cost estimates, met timelines and provided high quality deliverables (few edits ...after initial verbal discussion).

An attorney who can help

As a landlord, I was suited by my tenants for providing an uninhabitable apartment and lost their personal properties - the allegation I firmly denied. I felt that the tenants tried to obtain money from me through the court and they might have been assisted by someone who knew the system. Therefore, ...I had to first consult attorneys for the legal advice with the price and service in mind. Through the Lawyer Referral Service (LRS) of the Boston Bar Association, I was recommended to contact a couple of attorneys, including Mr. Peter G. Calabrese. After I talked with Mr. Calabrese over the phone, I decided to ask him representing me for the trial. Throughout the trial, he guided me gathering the needed witnesses and proofs. His knowledge, professionalism and always thinking for his client impressed me very much. Based on the solid evidence and professional presentation by Mr. Calabrese, the court ruled in favor of me, the defendant. I am very glad that I hired Mr. Calabrese as my lawyer for the trial, not only for the reasonable price but importantly for the excellent services that he is able to provide. I highly recommend him for others. Thanks!

Effective and professional

Attorney Calabrese represented me during the sale of my commercial property. Prior to the sale Attorney Calabrese drafted numerous leases for my tenants which included a supermarket, a bank, and a laundry mat. The leases were drafted perfectly and secured a revenue flow for the property over the long... term - this allowed me to sell the property for $50,000 more than I originally thought the property would sell for. If you need a real estate attorney call Attorney Calabrese at PrimeCal Law. The firm's fees are very reasonable and the services are top notch!
