Real Estate Law

Susan Mooney has counseled our firm in all aspects of commercial real estate development and management, with a primary focus on leasing and on the acquisition of commercial real estate. Both she and her staff are knowledgeable and professional. We often consult with Susan on issues where we would ...like an outside opinion to make sure we understand all of the ramifications of a specific decision.

Excellent attorney

Susan was very helpful in assisting us to secure a house in a very competitive market. She was extremely knowledgeable and thorough while advising us in making offers on houses/ completing offer paperwork, drafting our purchase and sale agreement, and negotiating/finalizing the agreement with the se...llers. Susan was able to negotiate a significant credit for us at closing to offset the cost of some minor needed work on the home. She went beyond traditional business hours, working late and on the weekend, to ensure that everything ran smoothly, responded quickly to our questions, and kept us informed throughout the process. We give Susan our highest recommendation.

Recommendation for Susan M Mooney

We are delighted to recommend Susan Mooney. The first time we met Susan she was prepared for our meeting. She had reviewed all documents we sent, responses we submitted to her professional questionnaire in advance of the meeting, and had prepared questions/comments. When Susan made recommendations sh...e provided sound rationalization so we felt we were acting in our family's best interest. Susan had an extensive network of colleagues who helped us successfully close a real estate transaction that had very extenuating circumstances. Susan has not only guided us using her Elder Law and Real Estate expertise, she educated us on selecting an attorney in another state, and partnered with that attorney to help us close an incapacitated family member's property in MA (ie Limited Power of Attorney, Power of Attorney, Healthcare Proxy and Living Will). Susan was extremely professional and in spite of a personal crisis, attended our closing and completed our transaction as she had committed to do. We look forward to working with Susan again in the future.

"I have known Susan for over 15 years and have referred friends, clients and fellow lawyers to her. She is very knowledgeable, dedicated and compassionate. She has a special ability to work with and communicate with elder clients so that they understand the complicated area of estate planning and the choices they have to make. She is also able to assist family members in handling difficult situations. I highly recommend Susan."

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
