Kennrth's Disappointing service

Kenneth is not somebody I recommend. I wasted my $100 and time for getting no info about the case. He handed a document which was written on lawyer's language and denied to explain me. Told me to read and call next day. I had no choice and called him next day, but he yelled at me that, I have to hire... him to get any piece of info. Basically $100 charge consulted me by yelling that I need to pay for any info. Very bad service. I regretted for this type consultancy.

Excellent lawyer -Won eviction case

Kenneth helped evict our difficult tenant and get our house back in good time. I was rude to have sprung the case on him last minute, but he was very accommodating and worked towards our advantage. He was upfront and honest about the costs right from the beginning. I found him to be a great communi...cator, knowledgeable, and professional. He made sure to call and check-in periodically during the whole process. I really appreciated his straight forwardness and guidance. I am glad we had Kenneth on our side, thank you!

Very satisfied.

For the past two years I have found Vining Law Office to be an invaluable resource for legal representation. I have worked with Ken on several real estate related issues from landlord/tenant problems to a recent purchase of a new home for my family. Each time Ken was responsive, patient, and extremel...y knowledgeable. He also clearly stated his fees and gave me several options to help me decide how to best move forward. I would describe the level of service his office provides as nothing short of excellent.

Fantastic firm!

I have worked with Ken and Ellie Vining professionally and personally. Ellie is a fantastic closing attorney and my company and my clientele could not be happier with their services. Ken has helped me personally with a tenant issue and this review cannot begin to explain how grateful I am to him! He ...took a hostile situation with an irrational and unreasonable person and defused it. His patience, technique, understanding and knowledge was fantastic!

Second to none for Landlord work.

I've been using Vining Law for my Landlord work for a little over a year - Ken and his team have helped me navigate a number of tenant issues with incredible customer service, knowledge and experience. They've saved me many sleepless nights. His P&S work is also quite good and his fees are very rea...sonable. I would challenge anyone in the Greater Boston area to find an attorney who knows his stuff better than Ken.

Landlord or tenant lawyer | Jun 26

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I have opposed Mr. Vining on two matters, most recently on a landlord tenant case. His straightforward, courteous and frank approach to both matters resolved them quickly, fairly, and with minimal cost and trauma to my clients and, I believe, to the advantage of his own -- without the stressful, costly b.s. and posturing which so often precedes a settlement which should have occurred long before. Since many landlord/tenant disputes involve the potential award of attorney fees to tenant's counsel, Mr. Vining's approach (in contrast to a matter I recently took to trial opposing another attorney) also avoids the disaster which overtook the unfortunate client of that other lawyer. I endorse Mr. Vining."

Landlord or tenant lawyer | Mar 17

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"Ken Vining is a highly experienced attorney in landlord tenant and real estate matters. I have known attorney Vining and seen his work in both the District and Housing Courts on several cases. He not only knows the law, but has a practical business minded approach that often allows him to resolve cases with less cost and much quicker than if the case had to go all the way though the trial. He has an honest and direct approach so you know right where your case stands. I have previously recommended Attorney Vining to several landlords looking to resolve issues with tenants. I have also recommended him to friends and my clients seeking to purchase real estate both for their own homes or for investments."

"I recommend Ken on a regular basis to people who are looking for an experienced, highly competent attorney. He has handled all kinds of landlord-tenant matters and I often seek his advice on complicated cases. He is very good at thinking through a difficult situation to determine the most practical and effective solution. I recommend him without reservation to anyone seeking a landlord-tenant or real estate attorney."
