Stephen is great at what he does. His expertise and experience clearly defines it, and importantly communications with clients.

Attorney Ketaineck did a superb job in the closing of my home that required assistance with my tenant occupancy. I was always able to reach him, as he returned phone calls and emails promptly, which was important to me as I live out of state. Stephen was pleasant, easy to talk to, understood my conce...rns and made the closing process smooth, which allowed me to close on the date I had requested 10/2025. I had reached out to him a week after closing and he was patient and kind enough to give me his time and answered my question.

Would highly recommend!

Buying a house and securing a mortgage are stressful enough. By the time you get to the closing you want an experienced and professional attorney to guide you through the process. Attorney Ketaineck is all that and more! He was in constant contact with us giving us updates every step of the way. He i...s a great advocate for his clients and great to work with. When it came time for the closing all of the documents were explained to us as we were signing them. From the beginning Attorney Ketaineck had our trust and faith that everything would go smoothly and it did. Thank you so much!!!

Very responsive and professional!

I contact Mr. Ketaineckto handle the sale of a mixed use property which was FILLED with troublesome parties (buyer, agent, other attorney's) throughout. I realized I needed someone outside of the local loop who would be all business and be direct. Mr. Ketaineck delivered. He is available and responds... quickly, and he will staunchly represent your interest, and he is to the point.
