The best landlord-tenant lawyer in Boston

If you need a lawyer for tenant dispute - call Jesse. No need to look further. Jesse's expertise is exceptional. He helped my mom and I with abusive tenant who was in violation of lease terms then decide not to pay his rent. Jesse took it on and led us through the Boston Housing Court process in the ...most efficient way. It took 5- 6 months, but Jesse made it happen. It could have gone on longer. Jesse stayed on the case keeping us well -informed. Don't hesitate - call Jesse if you have tenant issues.

First-time Landlord Woes

As a first time landlord, I was struggling with a tenant in a condo who was consistently causing issues in the building. Jesse was able to help by discussing options and navigate these circumstances. His level of communication is top-notch. He will always make time to talk and is regularly available ...over text. After removal of the tenant, I made the decision to sell and Jesse supported the sale of the property as my closing attorney as well. I will absolutely return to Jesse for any future landlord needs.

Knowledgeable and reassuring!

Jesse helped me with a housing situation I had, and was extremely kind, answering all the questions I had, hypotheticals and all. He was very knowledgeable about the process and helped me with resolving the situation as fast as possible, as I requested. I highly recommend reaching out to him if you n...eed help.

Landlord Representation in MA

I am a landlord in MA and have unfortunately had to deal with multiple messy evictions over the last 2 years. Jesse has been an amazing resource for me. He's very knowledgable, hard working, and has been able to help navigate these situations and find good mutual ground for both parties. Highly recom...mend.

Highly recommend. Excellent Lawyer! Efficient, communicates well, goes above and beyond…the absolute best at what he does.

My mom is the Landlord of a multi-unit property for which I primarily manage. I write this review with so much heartfelt gratitude because we thought this nightmare tenant would never be out. Tenant tried and did everything to remain there at the expense of the landlords health and finance. We hired ...Jesse following a consultation for a case that had been ongoing for years. It was a horrendous situation where the tenant (Section 8) was continuously troublesome, a hoarder, extremely untidy, was being destructive in causing damage to the property, etc. Tenant’s actions led to stopped Section 8 payments and loss. Cost the landlord over $100,000 in loss over the span of years the tenant resided in the unit….It was terrible, and that now former tenant, made it difficult for other occupants of the property to go about their daily lives. As soon as Jesse was hired he got the case moving again and went above and beyond filing all paperwork necessary. He followed up, communicated openly, promptly and professionally throughout the case , and informed us whenever a decision was made by the courts or if he was still waiting to hear back. We never had to question or wonder about the status. He was transparent, extremely generous and helpful. If I could rate this at 1000 stars I would, because he went above and beyond even though he didn’t have to. That tenant was evicted and followed with an appeal to elongate the process. Jesse promptly responded with filing and in the end it was granted, all due to the thorough excellent work Jesse conducted, the professionalism he portrayed and presented in the courtroom. I highly recommend him and encourage those who are in unfortunate similar situations to contact him expeditiously. Jesse, thank you so much.
